Show Page Four - The Pyramid - January 22, 1997 Badgers lose to Dixie, drop SWAC record to by Ken Beazer EPHRAIM No one can blame Coach Jon Judkins for clicking his heels and mumbling, "theres no place like home." The last time the Badger basketball team played in the Snow College Activity Center, most of us had yet to recover from our Thanksgiving Day feast; Dec. 14, to be exact. And after on their recent SWAC going tour, nobody is more excited to see the Activity Centers hardwood than the Badgers. Snow Colleges last game loss to produced a bitter 86-9- 2 rival, Dixie College, m St George Against the Rebels, the Badgers were their own worst enemy, losing a closely fought game down the stretch, and dropping their SWAC record to te 3-- 4 Untimely errors, poor execution and missed spelled doom for Snow College against the Rebels, as the Badgers missed a golden opportunity to sink a dagger into the hearts of a hostile Dixie crowd As expected, the game against the Rebels started out with a lot of emotion and aggressive play, both teams racing up and down free-thro- the court exchanging baskets, waiting for the other to blink. Neither team blinked and the pace settled with both teams unable to get an early upper- hand. With both teams in a half-cou- rt style of play, the games pace appeared to be going in Snows favor. Behind Lance Barnes 12 first-ha- lf points, the Badgers were in perfect striking position at the half, trailing 36-38. A two-podeficit on the road to the Rebels is not a bad position to be in, especially when one realized the Badgers were 0 from the three-poarc in the games first 20 minutes. You knew Snows were going to come out of the locker room on fire and torch the nets, setting up a victory party m the Dixie Center. The Badger gunners never did find the range from downtown and the two teams picked-u- p the games pace, combining for 29 five points over a minute span Then with 14 minutes left in the game and Snow holding a 54-5- 1 lead, Dixies star, Kenyatta Clark, was sent to the bench with his fourth foul This was the rs sharp-shoote- mind-boggli- 3-- 4 turning point in the game, but not to the Badgers advantage. Dixie countered their stars departure with a smaller line-u- p and a slower, more disciplined offensive scheme, both Badger fortes. Unfortunately, Dixie executed Snows brand of basketball better than the Badgers, and took the lead for good at 65-6with 9 50 left to play. While the Badgers were able to keep it close throug-hou- t, tying the score several times, turnovers and missed down the stretch sealed their doom. Lance Barnes continued his recent scoring surge, finishing with a game high, 21 points and tying for the team high in rebounds with Pat McGrath and Paul Jonas at six. McGrath finished with 16 points and Jonas added 15. The Badgers shot a miserable from the three-poline; yet, ended the game shooting a respectable 48 percent from the field. The Badgers were 1 and shot 0 from the line in the second half. Snow will return to the Activity Center this Friday and Saturday against CSI and TVCC.

Once again. Snow Colleges womens basketball team proved they are talented enough to play with anybody, only to watch victory slip away in a matter of minutes, losing 62-7dropping their conference record to 6, 2-- 5. Last week against Dixie College, the Lady Badgers came out on fire and momentarily shocked their rivals with an offensive outburst that catapulted them into a lead early in the contest Behind good offensive execution and tough defensive pressure, Coach Whites squad put a momentary hush on the partisan Rebel crowd, forcing Dixie to take a time-ou- t before things got more out of hand After the time-ou- t, the Lady Rebels slowly cut into the lead as both teams exchanged blows for the rest of the games first 20 minutes Though the Lady Rebels held a 5 half-tim- e lead, there was little doubt as to the fact that this game was destined for a spectacular finish five-poi- nt 41-3- te After the half, Snow College suffered the infamous 10 minute lull that has beleaguered them over their last five SWAC games. Over the next few minutes, the Lady Badgers were and consequently trailed the with 11 Lady Rebels, 42-6- 1 minutes left to play. The Lady Badgers eventually fell behind by 21 points and never got closer than 13 points "I dont have an answer, nor do I know what button to push," explained Coach White about her teams periodic offensive lulls "We play so well for most of the game, only to throw it away in a few minutes out-score- d, 0, The Lady Badgers continued to struggle from the three-poline against Dixie, connecting on shots, yet, finishing the game shooting 42 percent from the field Take away the missed three-poiattempts and the Lady Badgers end up shooting over 50 percent for the game. nt Emilyn Hullinger scored 20 points for the Lady Badgers, hitting seven of her 1 1 shots from the field and sinking Hullinger was followed by Kelly Olsen, who scored 14 points Margo Groll and Kimberly Westwood each threw-i- n seven points and Westwood finished with a team-higeight boards free-thro- -9 h, The Lady Badgers will welcome the sight of the Snow College Activity Center this weekend as they host CSI and TVCC on Friday and Saturday.
