Ottumwa -- Playing their 18th game in 38 days, the Indian Hills basketball team earned a well-deserved break after pummeling New Creations Basketball Academy, 80-54, in the HyVee Classic on Saturday night.
The Warriors ended the first half of their schedule with back-to-back wins to take a 15-3 record into the holiday break. They don't return to action until January 7 against Northeast (NE) in the Golden Eagle Classic in West Burlington.
Indian Hills ended the first half by outscoring New Creations, 39-11, and coasted after that. The visiting Flyers had cut an early deficit to a single point before the IHCC onslaught.
By halftime, Gary Ricks, Jr. of the Warriors had equaled the entire scoring output for New Creations. Ricks had 21 at the half and made four straight three-point shots, three of them as the Warriors pulled away from an 11-10 lead.
Ricks added just two points in the second half, but still tied his season-high with 23. Latroy Taylor finished off an outstanding weekend with 14 points for IHCC, giving him 31 in the last two games.
Chase Campbell had 17 to pace the Flyers.

Kirkwood Gets Payback Against IHCC
Ottumwa -- Louis Cox made a pair of free throws with 10.6 seconds to play and Kirkwood's Brennan Cougill added two free throws for the final margin as the Eagles came from behind in overtime to knock off Indian Hills, 67-64, at the Hellyer Center on Wednesday night.
IHCC's Gary Ricks, Jr. had sent the game into overtime by drilling a three-pointer with 4.9 seconds to play in regulation.
Chad Dillard gave the Warriors an early lead in the extra session with a three-point play. That turned out to be the only field goal for either team in overtime. All eight points for KCC came from the free throw line.
Ricks made two foul shots to put the Warriors ahead, 64-60. Kirkwood then had three trips to the free throw line and each time made one of two shots to pull to within one point.
With their lead cut to a single point, Indian Hills missed a shot and Kirkwood rebounded. Dillard then fouled Cox who hit the decisive foul shots.
Cougill scored seven straight points to open the second half and give KCC a 29-26 lead, their first of the night. Jerome Jones, who led all scorers with 18 points, nailed a three to tie the score and later converted a three-point play to put IHCC on top, 40-35.
The Eagles promptly answered with seven straight points, the last five by D'Monte Hopkins. Hopkins scored 13 points in the second half.
The lead was never greater than three points after that.
Cox made one of two free throws with 19 seconds left to make it 57-54 in favor of Kirkwood. IHCC's Trey Starks tallied on a driving layup to make it a one-point game.
Indian Hills then fouled Preston Brunz who calmly dropped in two free throws with 11.9 seconds remaining for a 59-56 lead. Ricks forced overtime with his 3-pointer from the right wing.
Indian Hills managed two 10-point leads in the first half, but suffered from cold shooting, making only 41% of their shots for the game, and only 16% (3-of-19) from three-point range.
Cougill had 17 points and a game-high 14 rebounds for Kirkwood. Starks followed Jones' 18 points with 15 for the Warriors, who lost their first home game of the season.
Indian Hills, now 13-3, will host the HyVee Classic this weekend with games against Future Academy on Friday night and New Creations Saturday night, both starting at 7:00.

Clean Sweep: Warriors Take Down Quakerdale Academy
Marshalltown, IA -- Indian Hills finished off a weekend that saw them play three games in as many days, the last two at Marshalltown Community College's Emerson JUCO Challenge, with a 62-44 victory against Quakerdale Promise Academy on Sunday afternoon.
It was the fourth time in the past five weekends that the Warriors had played back-to-back-to-back games and left them with a 13-2 record halfway through the regular season schedule.
None of the Warriors scored in double figures, but 12 of the 13 who played scored at least a point. And, on a day when the IHCC offense struggled to find a rhythm, the defense held the Eagles in check, allowing only 15 field goals, none in the first eight minutes of action.
While their defense was shutting down Quakerdale early, the Warriors jumped out to an eight-point lead. The Eagles ran off seven points in a row only to see Indian Hills go on a 17-5 run to end the first half. Three different Warriors -- Gary Ricks, Jr., Dijon Farr and Derrick Hill -- all make 3's in the run.
The halftime margin was 13 points and IHCC never permitted Quakerdale to get closer than that in the second half. A flurry of free throws enabled Indian Hills to pull away in the final minutes.
The Warriors made only seven shots from the field in the second half, but hit 22-of-32 foul shots.
Jerome Jones led Indian Hills with nine points. Nathan Freeman scored 16 to pace the Eagles.
Indian Hills will play three games at home this week, starting with a Wednesday contest against Kirkwood CC.

Warriors Hang First Loss on DMACC
Marshalltown, IA -- With a 20-point second-half lead shaved to a single point, Indian Hills guard Trey Starks banked in a three-point shot with the shot clock ready to run out and the Warriors went on to knock off previously undefeated DMACC, 64-52, at Marshalltown Community College on Saturday.
Starks' shot propelled the Warriors on a 15-4 run to end the game and gave IHCC its 12th win against two losses.
The final seven IHCC points came at the free throw line in the final minute as the Bears were forced to foul to try to get back in the game.
Kannan Burrage's three-pointer with just under five minutes to play brought DMACC to within one at 49-48. But the Bears made only one basket the rest of the game as their season-opening 11-game win streak came to an end.
Gary Ricks, Jr. opened the second-half scoring with a three to give Indian Hills a 36-16 lead, their largest of the game.
Thirteen points by Burrage and a couple of clutch 3's by Cole Martin fueled the DMACC comeback. The Warriors went cold after DMACC switched to a zone defense and desperately needed the lift that Starks' three-pointer gave them.
Indian Hills scored the game's first six points. DMACC didn't score for over four minutes at the outset and didn't get their second field goal until the 9:00 mark of the first half. IHCC scored the final six points of the half to take a 17-point halftime lead.
Jerome Jones helped the Warriors pull away over the final five minutes when he made five foul shots, part of a 16-point effort for Jones. Trey Starks also scored 16 for the winners. Burrage had 19 to lead all scorers.
Indian Hills returns to Marshalltown for a noon game against Quakerdale Promise Academy on Sunday.

Blowout Win for IHCC to Start Busy Weekend

It was the first home game for IHCC after six straight road contests and the Warriors will be right back on the road Saturday and Sunday when they play in the Emerson JUCO Challenge in Marshalltown.
Friday's game was decided early when Indian Hills used a 9-0 run to wipeout MATC's only lead of the game. Consecutive field goals by Gary Ricks, the second a three-pointer, ended the run and the Warriors built on the lead the rest of the night.
Riley Stuve pumped in 19 points to lead the Warriors. Stuve, whose previous best scoring effort was five points, had 13 by halftime and punctuated his big game with two threes in the second half.
D.J. Bennett also had his season high, getting 12 points to go along with five blocked shots.
