NTC Sports

In a game that was the old guard VS the new guard, The Teutopois Wooden Shoes, the team that founded the NTC played the Dieterich Movin’ Maroon who is the newest member of the NTC. T-Town was playing what most likely will be their last NTC championship game since they leave the conference after this year and Dieterich was playing in their first NTC championship game. In the game it was as it has been for many years in recent history – T-Town wons the championship; this time with a score of 69-39 over the Dieterich Moovin’ Maroons.
The game started with both teams not being able to put anything down until T-Town got on the board a few minutes into the game. Once the scoring started the Shoes had control of the score from the start with a 15-5 lead at the end of the 1st quarter and a 28 to 17 lead at half time. In the third quarter T-Town had their best quarter hitting 21 points while Dieterich only could come up with 8. In the final quarter the Shoes also outscored the Maroons 20-14.
For Dieterich, Nathan Garbe hit just 2 points in the 1st and added a couple of 3 pointers and some free throws to end with 10. The only other Dieterich player to score in the 1st was a 3 pointer from Dalton Hinterscher who hit a couple more 3 pointers and shots at the line to lead the Maroons scoring with 14 points.
The Shoes, on the other hand, had four players in double digits. Kyle Pruemer and Jon Mette used field goals and free throws to get 10 points each. Derek Smith add one 3 point shot to his others to get 14 points in the game. The leading scorer of the game was Mark Niebrugge who hit a pair of 3’s in the first quarter and then really started hitting in the second half to end the night with 20 points.
We say farewell to the T-Town Wooden Shoes and we wish them well as they go independent with no conference membership next year. From what we know the only NTC basketball matchup the Shoes will see next year is against rival St. Anthony Bulldogs. The Dieterich Movin’ Maroons and all the other teams in the NTC welcome a new member next year, The South Central Cougars, and know that the championship in 2013 will be wide open for anyone to win.

If the Indians could have played the first half like they played the second half they may have won this game. St. Elmo's Connor Beasley and Ben Sperry were just too much to contain. In the first quarter the Indians had to fight for every shot and could not get anything to drop from the field or from outside the 3 point arc, and only got 4 points from the line. St. Elmo on the other hand was hitting from the outside and hit 4 three point shots and one from the line to get 13 points. That seemed to set the tone for the game as Altamont seemed to play catch up all night. In the second the Eagles continued to hit 3 pointers, but also started coming up the lane and hit the field goals as well. Altamont did start connecting with 3 three point shots, but their 18 point to St. Elmo's 22 in the second quarter lkeft them behind with a 22-35 score when they went to the locker room. In the 4th both teams put down 15 points and in the 4th St. Elmo had 14 points to Altamont's 12 points that lead to the final 64-49 score.
Altamont's Dustin Gordon quickly got into foul trouble and he had to back off his play and only got 11 points. Garret Ziegler and Brandon Hybarger both had strong 2nd and 3rd quarters and both getting all of their 10 points each there. For the Eagles Blain Scholes came out and hit a pair of 3 pointers in the first quarter and ended up being the LOW scorer in the game. Levi Maxey got 10 points with field goals and free throws while Ben Sperry did the same to get to 15 points. Connor Beasley was the player the Indians could not seem to contain; hitting outside for 5 three point shots and inside for 3 shots he had a great night with 21 points.
The Indians go the way they usually go in the NTC tournament - towards the Consy championship as they will play Cowden-Herrick on Thursday. St. Elmo on the other hand will take on T-Town in hopes to breaking the Wooden Shoe's championship winning streak.

In their final season in the NTC T-Town continues to do what they have done in years past - dominate. In the first game for them in the tournament they defeated Cowden-Herrick with a score of 87-30. The Hornets just could not seem to get any shots to drop, and the Shoes were hitting their shots on a fairly regular basis. In the first quarter the Shoes were hitting the outside shot, hitting 5 three pointers on the way to 19 points for the quarter. Cowden, on the other hand, had to fight for every one of their 10 points, all coming from field goals. The Hornets had their best quarter in the second scoring 12 points, but it was nowhere near what they needed to keep up with the Shoes who were hitting 3's, 2's and from the line for an increadible 30 points in the second quarter alone. Returning from the locker room Cowden-Herrick just could not hit anything on the other end of the court and only got one point in the third while the Shoes "let up" a little and "only" scored 21 points. The Hornets did a little better in the 4th with 7 points and the Shoes basically went to their JV team and still scored 10 more points than the Hornets did in the 4th. The final score of 87-30 was not a surprise that the Shoes got the win, but the point spread was a bit of a surprise in what typically are closer games in the NTC tournament.
Cowden-Herrick did not have any players break double digits and did not hit a 3 point shot the entire night. Luke Moore, and Brady Barnes lead the way with just 6 points each. T-Town on the other hand hit 10 three point shots and had 4 players in double digits. Devin Falbe came off the bench to put togther 10 points while Kyle Pruemer did not hit a 3 but got 15 points with field goals and one shot at the line. The powerhouses for the Shoes were Mark Niebrugge and Derek Smith who each had 3 three point shots and 17 point each.
T-Town advances like usual into a semi-fianl game moving toward the championship, while Cowden-Herrick drops back to play Altamont in a quest for the Consy.

What a difference a year makes for an NTC basketball team. This time last year fans were talking about the possibility of Windsor making it to the championship game and if they could beat either T-Town or St. Anthony. This year the talk is about how well the young Windsor team tried, but fans are wondering if they will win another game in the tournament. In this game the Comets came out strong from the first play driving up the lane and hitting 3 point shots in the first quarter getting 20 points, while Windsor only had 4 shots at the free throw line. Windsor came to life a little in the second quarter with Andy Cole hitting 8 points and the team getting 13, but the Comets started hitting the 2 point shot and hit all their shots at the free throw line to get 25 points. Coming back from the 45-17 half time score the Blue Devils could only muster 9 points while the Comets continued to dominate with another 25 point quarter. The Comets started to let up in the 4th with only 11 points, but Windsor also let up and only got 5 points and saw the final score - Stew-Stras 81, Windsor 31. For Windsor it might have helped if Alex Allen could have gotten some points in the first half since all of his 8 points came in the 3rd and the 4th. Andy Cole on the other hand was the scoring force for the Blue Devils in the first half with 12 of his team high 15 points. The Comets on the other hand had 4 players in double digits. Zach Rinker had 11 points and Justin Fulk had 17 points with field goals and free throws. Nick Ferris and Austin Carson did the real damage with 19 points each as they hit from outside the arc and drove down the lane. Stew-Stras moves on to be the visitors in game 8 against St. Anthony, while Windsor gets a chance to play Beecher City and maybe Brownstown if their game is good enough to get past the Eagles.

In a fairly physical game the Neoga Indians outpowered the Beecher City Eagles with a score of 52-34.  In the first quarter Neoga lead 15-11 as both teams traded field goals and 3 point shots.  The Indians opened up the lead in the second by holding Beecher city to just 4 points and hitting 3 three point shots for 9 points and going to the locker room with a 24-15 lead.  The Indians continued to dominate in the 3rd, gaining 13 points to the Eagles 7 points.  In the 4th Beecher city got a game high 12 points, but allowed Neoga 15 points and the game ended with the 18 point difference.  For Beecher City most of the points came from Doug Krueger who had 13 points and Donovan Riley had 8 points.  The other five Eagles getting points never got beyond 5 points each.  Neoga, on the other hand, only had 2 players in the book that had less than 5 points.  Adam Probst hit field goals and free throws to get 13 points while T.J. Roy had 14 points and Wyatt Krikie hit 4 three point shots and a pair of free throws to have 14 points as well.  Neoga goes on to play Dieterich in game 7 and a chance to advance to the championship while Beecher City falls into the home position in game 6 and will get 1 or 2 more games in the tournament thanks to the added games this year.
