First Baptist and Southern Crescent went to overtime

with First Baptist winning by a score of 50-46. Southern

Crescent's lack of depth proved fatal, despite Rob Brown's game-high 22

point effort. Ronnie Chance led First Baptist with 15 points.

New Hope has a strong grip on first place but all six teams are

in the running to qualify for the districts. Prince of Peace has

won two games in a row, while First Methodist have lost their

last three games in a row.

In the 'B' Division, Flat Creek faced Woolsey on Monday

night and was able to hold on for a 49-41 win. Steve Hazelton had

a game high 14 points for Woolsey while Bart Hopper led Flat

Creek with 11 points.

Braelinn kept their game against Kenwood close,

due mostly to Mark Smith's 14 point effort and key three-pointers

from Lance McMillion and John Longsdorf. Kenwood got

14 points from Tim Bell and 13 from Marc Motes, but went 8 for

25 from the free throw line. Braelinn fell short and lost by a score

of 42-36.

Providence scored a paltry 13 points in the first half of

their game against Trinity. The second half was a different story

as Providence's Kirk Williamson hit four three-pointers on his way

to a game high 16 points. Trinity's Scott Marhefka hit three

three-pointers to help his team pull away and win by a score of

59-43. Trinity leads the league in scoring with 57.3 ppg.
