Creamer: Win over Trojans rejuventated Jets
They will be big underdogs in the next round against No. 1 seed Anna, but the sectional tournament has already been a success for the Northeastern boys basketball team.
They beat Greeneview 53-47 on Friday after losing twice to the Rams in the regular season.
“We have played with a ton of composure over the last three weeks of basketball after playing with none for the first three months,” coach Kregg Creamer said. “To say that I could put a finger on the one thing that made us change, I’d be a lier. But our seniors are giving us good leadership. We’re mixing in a couple of sophomores with them, and they’re giving us great energy off the bench.”
Northeastern has won four games in a row, a streak that started with two wins over Cedarville and continued with an upset of Southeastern.
“We played pretty good basketball in the two wins back to back over Cedarville,” Creamer said. “It’s tough to judge how well you’re doing things when the team you’re playing is maybe not quite as good as you are. Senior Night at home against Southeasern, we played with a a determination and a passion that we’ve continued to play with during this little tournament run.
“If we lose that game to Southeastern, we probably fold the tents on the season. You don’t have to be a genius to figure that out, but a big win on our home floor reenergized us, rejuvenated us.”

Without a doubt the win over the trojans was a big win. It also seems that we have settled on a 7 or 8 man team and that is big.Them sophomores have been a huge spark for this team. The selfish play has also been reduced by about 85% the last three games. It needs to be elimnated 100% to get past Anna.It is unfortunate but this team the last three games is without any question what I thought I would see all year long, but I also new to many players wanted to be the hero.GOODLUCK JETS THUMP THE ROCKETS, track can wait a couple more weeks. rgh
