<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">OTTUMWA
--- For the second time in the past three years, the Indian Hills Warriors will
enter the season as <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Sporting News’</i>
choice as the No. 1 team in the country.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>In its college basketball preview magazine, currently on newsstands, TSN
has the Warriors atop the national poll.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Indian
Hills received the top ranking heading into the 2013-14 campaign, the same spot
it occupied prior to the start of the 2011-12 season, Barret Peery’s first as IHCC
head coach.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Peery’s two-year record is
60-8, including a 26-4 mark last year when the Warriors were prevented by the
NJCAA from playing in the postseason.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">In
the magazine, TSN writer Tony Jimenez says Peery has “a gift of gab that has
led to great recruiting success.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
preview article also says the Warriors potentially have 10 major-college
players on the roster.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">That
group includes transfer Quevyn Winters, who was named to the first team of the
Super Sophomores list in the publication.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Winters played last season at Duquesne.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Another transfer, Lester Medford, who came to IHCC from Arizona Western,
was named to the Super Sophs fourth team. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Asked
about the No. 1 rating, Peery responded, “I think it’s a tremendous credit to
our school, players and staff.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At Indian
Hills we expect to be in this position, but also know that we have a great
responsibility to live up to what is expected.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Two
of IHCC’s conference rivals are also in the preseason top-10, Iowa Western<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>8<sup>th</sup> and Southeastern 10<sup>th</sup>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The two teams Indian Hills will play in a
November tournament in Florida, Northwest Florida State and Chipola, are ranked
4<sup>th</sup> and 7<sup>th</sup>, respectively.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Based
on what he’s seen so far this fall, Peery likes his team and their
potential.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“We have a really good group
that I am excited about,” the coach said.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>“We have a chance to be as good as anybody when it’s most
important.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And we have players that
really fit our program on and off the court.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It will be a fun group to watch.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">The
last time Indian Hills entered the season ranked No. 1, they went 33-4 and
finished 7<sup>th</sup> at the national tournament.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Taylor played one season at IHCC after transferring from Knoxville (Tenn.) College and then two seasons at Chattanooga before embarking on a long professional career.<br />
<br />
A native of Chattanooga, Taylor is 26 hours short of completing his degree in Criminal Justiec at his alma mater, where he played for the most successful team in school history. He will be a student assistant coach during the upcoming season.<br />
<br />
"It's an amazing opportunity," Taylor said. "I am excited beyond words and very thankful to be able to finish my degree and get my foot in the door in the coaching profession."<br />
<br />
Taylor was at Indian Hills for the 1994-95 campaign and became eligible to play for the Warriors at mid-season. He averaged 19.3 points and 8.0 rebounds over the final 19 games and helped lead IHCC to a 31-3 record and to within one game of a trip to the national tournament. He had nine games of 20 or more points, including six in a row.<br />
<br />
From Indian Hills, Taylor went back to his hometown and he starred for the 1997 UTC squad that made the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament with Taylor leading the Mocs in scoring his senior year.<br />
<br />
Chosen by Orlando as the 17th pick in the 1997 NBA Draft, Taylor played four seasons in the NBA and then 11 more seasons overseas with stints in countries such as Italy, Spain and Russia.

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">OTTUMWA --- A former Louisiana high
school athlete who had his high school basketball career cut short by an injury
is coming to Indian Hills Community College to resume his hoops career.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">J.R. Harris, 6’4” and 185 pounds,
suffered a serious knee injury playing football his junior season at
Redemptorist HS in Baton Rouge, La. and that forced him to miss his junior and
senior basketball seasons.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Harris, a
defensive back, tore his ACL in a mid-season game in the fall of 2011.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">At the time, he was considered a
potential college player in both football and basketball.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His former high school football coach said,
“You can tell (J.R.) is the son of a coach.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>There’s not a doubt in my mind that he could play either sport on the
college level.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Harris’ dad was a volunteer assistant
women’s basketball coach at Southern University.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">But it’s basketball where Harris has
decided to make his mark.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And IHCC coach
Barret Peery loves the way Harris plays the game and his effort to be a great
player.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“J.R. is a long athlete that is
very skilled,” Peery said.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“He is the
prototype for the kind of player we like to have.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He has very good range with his shot and a
very good feel for the game.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">The last time Harris played prep
basketball was his sophomore season, when he averaged 19.8 points and 9.0
rebounds and was voted MVP of his district.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>At that time, he played forward.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Now two inches taller, Harris is
expected to be a guard for the Warriors. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">OTTUMWA --- A second NCAA Division I transfer has decided to continue his basketball career at Indian Hills.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Quevyn Winters, originally from Milwaukee, Wis., will join the IHCC program after one season at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Winters, a 6’5” forward, played in all 30 games for the Dukes last year, starting the final eight.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was third on the team in scoring with a 9.6 average and his 55 3-pointers led the team.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At one stretch he made at least one three in 10 straight games.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">IHCC coach Barret Peery says Winters is a big athlete that really shoots the three well and is talented around the rim.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Quevyn’s experience at the D-1 level last year will make his transition to Indian Hills very smooth,” Peery said.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“His stats show he had a lot of success as a freshman and I would think he has a chance to do great things here next season.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Winters scored a season-high 22 points in a game at Temple, which lost to Indiana in the third round of the NCAA Tournament.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His scoring average was 10.4 in Atlantic 10 play and 13.1 as a starter late in the season.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Overall he shot 38 percent from three-point range and 74 percent at the foul line and improved those percentages in conference games.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">“Quevyn has a tremendous feel and understanding for the game and he’ll be a great fit at Indian Hills,” said Peery.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">After starting his high school career at Washington HS in Milwaukee, Winters ended it by averaging 22 points and nine rebounds for M.A.C.K Academy in North Carolina.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Winters joins Marcus Posley, who played last year at Ball State, as D-1 transfers on next year’s IHCC roster.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">OTTUMWA --- Indian Hills Community College basketball coach Barret Peery has utilized a handful of NCAA Division I transfers to help compile a 59-8 record in his first two seasons at IHCC.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So it’s no surprise that he is tapping into that area again as he gets ready for the 2013-14 campaign.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Marcus Posley, who played in 30 games for Ball State University last year as a freshman, has signed to attend Indian Hills.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Posley is a 6’1”, 200-pound guard from Rockford, Ill., whom Peery says “is very talented and can do a lot with the basketball.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Indian Hills will need to replace the top two three-point shooters from last year’s team, Ronald Ross and Frank Williams, and Posley should help fill that void.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">“Marcus has fantastic range on his shot and I expect him to make a lot of 3s for us next year,” the IHCC coach said.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“He can also play multiple positions and handles the ball well in transition.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Posley made eight starts for Ball State, a Mid-American Conference member, all of them in the final nine games of the season.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He averaged 6.5 points for the year with a high game of 20.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He also led the team with an average of 2.9 assists per game.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">In his high school career, Posley earned three letters in basketball and was also a standout track athlete.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was a three-time all-conference choice in basketball.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Peery concluded his assessment of Posley by saying, “He’s a very tough kid from a great family.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

In the end, the 6-7 guard from Kansas City, Mo. chose to sign with a school only a few minutes from his home.<br />
<br />
Williams signed a national letter of intent with the University of Missouri-Kansas City and will play for new coach Kareem Richardson with the Kangaroos.<br />
<br />
After a freshman season in which he was sidelined for eight games with an injury, Williams emerged as a sophomore to be one of IHCC's best outside shooters. He made 62 3s, second on the team, and shot 38 percent from 3-point range.<br />
<br />
Williams averaged 12.2 points a game as a soph with a high game of 27. He reached double figures in points in 19 games and was the only IHCC player to appear in all 30 games.<br />
<br />
Williams nearly doubled his scoring average from his freshman year, when he scored 6.4 points while playing in 14 games. He suffered a broken bone in his arm in an early-season game at Ellsworth and missed eight games.<br />
<br />
"I chose to attend UMKC to play basketball for coach Richardson because I feel that he will run a system that has been very successful in the college game today," said Williams. "Also, because the university is in my hometown, I have the opportunity to play in front of my friends and family."<br />
<br />
Richardson took over the UMKC program this spring after serving as an assistant under Rick Pitino at Louisville. He said, "Frank brings our team experience and a tremendous ability to make shots. We couldn't be more excited to have Frank become a part of the UMKC family."<br />

<br />
Ross played this past season at Indian Hills after a freshman campaign at Vincennes (Ind.) where he was named an NJCAA Honorable Mention All-American.<br />
<br />
With the Warriors, the guard from Indianapolis, Ind., averaged 14.5 points a game, second on the team, and led IHCC with 65 3-pointers, shooting over 40% from behind the arc.<br />
<br />
Middle Tennessee loses six players off last season's team that finished 28-5 and qualified for the NCAA tournament. MTSU coach Kermit Davis said, "Ronald has scored everywhere he's been. He was the second-leading scorer on maybe the most talented junior college team in the country. He is a physical guard and can really shoot the ball from three. He's going to be a really good player for us."<br />
<br />
Ross will be the third former IHCC player to suit up for the Blue Raiders, joining LaRon Dendy and James Washington, both of whom had success after going there following their Indian Hills careers.<br />
<br />
Ndiaye missed the first 10 games of his sophomore season after breaking a bone in his foot in the preseason. He played in 15 games and averaged 2.9 points and 3.5 rebounds a game. Those numbers are close to those of Ndiaye's freshman year at IHCC when he averaged 2.0 points and 2.5 rebounds.<br />
<br />
Indian Hills coach Barret Peery was happy with the progress Ndiaye made during his two seasons with the Warriors and is optimistic he will continue to improve now that he is healthy again.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">McKay, a Milwaukee, Wis. native, led the Warriors in both scoring and rebounding the past two years, increasing his averages to 18.2 points and 11.0 rebounds last season after averaging 14.6 points and 7.7 rebounds as a freshman.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">McKay played a key role on Warriors teams that were 59-8 in two years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As a freshman he helped lead IHCC to the national tournament, where he was named to the all-tournament team after posting double-doubles in all four games at the tourney.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He totaled 61 points and 50 rebounds as the Warriors recovered from an opening-game loss to win their next three games.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">One of Barret Peery’s first recruits when he took over as head coach in 2011, McKay was also a first-team all-region choice the last two years.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">“I’m so proud of Jameel and the honors he has been given,” Peery said.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“He has been a tremendous worker for us and was all about winning.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our basketball family couldn’t be happier for him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He has had great teammates and coaches around him that have all been a part of his success.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">The Warriors’ Jameel McKay was a first-team all-region choice for the second year in a row and Dustin Hogue was a second-team selection, as he was last year.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">The other IHCC players who made the all-region team both played one year at Indian Hills after transferring prior to their sophomore season.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ronald Ross, who played at Vincennes (Ind.) as a freshman, received second-team honors, and Jelan Kendrick, who was at the University of Mississippi for his freshman campaign, was an honorable mention pick.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">McKay led Indian Hills in scoring and rebounding for the second year in a row.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He averaged 18.2 points and nearly 11 rebounds a game this season, increasing his freshman averages of 14.6 points and 7.7 rebounds, numbers which helped him garner first-team All-American honors last year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As a soph, McKay shot 57 percent from the field and averaged two blocks a game while scoring in double figures in 27 of the 28 games he played.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He surpassed the 1,000-point total for his career late in the season and wound up his two-year stint at IHCC with 1,022 points.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Hogue also boosted his scoring average as a sophomore, tallying 12.6 points a game compared to 11.1 as a freshman, while his rebound average stayed the same at around 5.5 boards a game.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He started 41 games over the past two seasons and scored 740 points.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His 23 starting assignments this year tied McKay for the team lead.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Ross came to IHCC after he was named an honorable mention All-American at Vincennes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was the second-leading scorer for the Warriors, averaging 14.5 points a game, and led the team in three-pointers with 65.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He shot over 42 percent from three-point range and also led the Warriors in steals.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
The postseason ban was issued for a violation of NJCAA rules committed by Indian Hills stemming from incidents that occurred following the Warriors' game at Southeastern CC on Feb. 16. An on-court melee after that game resulted in IHCC's Ronald Ross being arrested.<br />
<br />
Ross was jailed after his arrest and was released after IHCC president Dr. Jim Lindenmayer posted bail for Ross. Dr. Lindenmayer subsequently self-reported the violation on the Tuesday following the game after he was made aware of an NJCAA rule that prohibits college officials from posting bail for a student-athlete.<br />
<br />
Indian Hills had five players suspended for their actions in the moments after the SCC game and all of those players were forced to sit out the Warriors' final two regular season games.<br />
<br />
The NJCAA ban on Indian Hills' playing in the postseason was handed down last week with the organization then issuing its ruling against IHCC's appeal of the penalty on Monday.<br />
<br />
This is a statement from Dr. Lindenmayer following Monday's announcement:<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“Late Saturday (Feb. 16), after everyone was on their way home, I bailed a student-athlete out of jail. I was unaware of the rule, but I knew that I did not want to leave a player behind at an out-of-town facility under those circumstances.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I feel strongly that when we leave our campus with students in our care it is our duty to return them safely to campus.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is what I would expect of any staff member and what I would expect as a parent of a child under college supervision.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I feel the penalty is very harsh, especially in light of our record for following NJCAA rules.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I sincerely apologize to our fans and the entire Indian Hills community.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Coach Peery, his staff and players have worked very hard on this great season. Obviously this was a very unfortunate incident with lots of regrets from many people. “</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The Warriors end their season with a 26-4 record. They won the conference championship with a 7-1 mark and had the second-highest offensive average of any Division I school, scoring 97.9 points a game. Indian Hills was ranked third in the NJCAA poll that was released following the double-overtime win over Southeastern, their 12th consecutive victory, a season high.</span></div>

The defeat, coupled with a road loss at Moberly on Tuesday, also gave the Warriors (26-4, 7-1) back-to-back losses for the first time in two years.<br />
<br />
It was the first time in 37 home games under second-year coach Barret Peery that IHCC failed to get a victory. And it was the only defeat in eight regular season conference games for the Warriors.<br />
<br />
Marshalltown (22-8, 3-5) was in control virtually the entire game in avenging an earlier loss to Indian Hills that was accomplished when IHCC's Ronald Ross drilled a 3-pointer at the buzzer. Ross was one of five Warriors who missed the MCC game, serving the second game of suspensions handed down after the SCC game a week before.<br />
<br />
Indian Hills took their first lead in this contest against the Tigers when Martin Dixon-Green, making his first start of the season, hit a 3-pointer for a 13-12 score. The Warriors' Jameel McKay, who was superb with 21 points and 16 rebounds, later tied the score at 17-all.<br />
<br />
An 18-7 run allowed MCC to go ahead by 11 and the Tigers took a 40-34 lead at intermission.<br />
<br />
After trailing by nine points early in the second half, Indian Hills managed to tie the score three times, the last at 51-51. Chris Caird's jump shot gave MCC the lead, part of a 17-point second half for theTiger sophomore. <br />
<br />
Marshalltown would eventually stretch the advantage to 12 points at 74-62. Indian Hills rallied to within four at 79-75 on a basket by Jelan Kendrick with 1:22 to play, but couldn't get any closer and MCC sealed the win at the free throw line.<br />
<br />
Caird's 21 points led the Tigers, whose biggest contribution may have come from Jamal Gatali, who hit five 3s and scored 20 points. Frank Williams added 17 to McKay's 21 points for the Warriors.<br />

<br />
Moberly (22-7) pulled away from a 2-2 tie to lead by as many as 17 points in the first half. The Warriors (26-3) finally got going offensively in the latter stages of the half and cut the deficit to 38-30 by halftime.<br />
<br />
Indian Hills had just eight players available for the game with five IHCC squad members serving the first game of suspensions handed down by the conference office as a result of last Saturday's post-game fracas at Southeastern.<br />
<br />
After showing signs of life at the end of the opening half, the Warriors couldn't get closer than four points in the second half, the last time at 58-54. <br />
<br />
Mike Anderson, who led Moberly with 22 points, hit a 3-pointer to start a 13-0 run for the Greyhounds and IHCC never threatened again.<br />
<br />
Anderson scored all but two of his points in the second half.<br />
<br />
One of the lone bright spots for the Warriors came when their scoring leader, Jameel McKay, scored his seventh and final field goal of the night late in the second half, a basket that put him over the 1,000-point mark for his career.<br />
<br />
McKay is now at 1,001 points, the first IHCC player to surpass 1,000 points since teammates Dwight Buycks and Dwight Hardy both passed the milestone in the 2008-09 season.<br />
<br />
Frank Williams led four Indian Hills players in double figures against Moberly with 17 points. Trinson White, on the strength of three 3-pointers in the second half, had 13 and Jelan Kendrick 12.<br />
<br />
Indian Hills will close out the regular season Saturday night by hosting Marshalltown CC at the Hellyer Center.<br />

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">West Burlington, Iowa – In one of the biggest comebacks in school history, Indian Hills overcame a 24-point second-half deficit and knocked off Southeastern CC, 104-99, in double overtime at Loren Walker Arena on Saturday night.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">The Warriors got a shot at the buzzer at the end of regulation from Jelan Kendrick to force the first overtime, a 3-pointer by Majok Deng to knot the score at the end of the first OT and then another three by Deng to go ahead for good in the second extra session to stay undefeated in conference play.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Third-ranked Indian Hills won its 12<sup>th</sup> game in a row and improved its league record to 7-0, clinching the outright title for the second year in a row.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Things looked bleak for the Warriors when SCC went on top 56-32 with three minutes gone in the second half.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Jordan Stevens, who poured in a game-high 41 points, hit a 3-pointer to end the first half to give the Blackhawks a 51-28 halftime advantage.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Stevens hit another three early in the second half and the Warriors were in serious trouble.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">The IHCC comeback started with 12 consecutive points, six of them by Kendrick.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Indian Hills’ pressure defense started to cause SCC some problems and the Blackhawks, who had 21 field goals in the first half to just nine for IHCC, went cold from the field.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">A dunk by Kendrick shaved the SCC lead to three with over 10 minutes to play and completed a 25-4 run for the visitors.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Southeastern, though, refused to give up the lead, holding off the Warriors thanks to Stevens and Warren Jones.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Jones scored eight points in one two-minute stretch and his second straight three built the lead back to 12 at 76-64 with a little under five minutes left.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Indian Hills outscored the Blackhawks 16-4 the rest of regulation with Kendrick providing the heroics in the final seconds of the second half.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">The SCC lead was 80-74 after Stevens made two foul shots with 19.4 seconds remaining.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Kendrick was fouled and hit one of two free throws with 14.2 seconds on the clock.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After an SCC turnover Kendrick hit a 3-pointer to trim the lead to 80-78 with 6.2 seconds to play.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">The Warriors fouled immediately and Stevens missed the front end of a one-and-one.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Kendrick rebounded the errant foul shot, dribbled the length of the floor and hit a running shot in the lane at the horn to force overtime.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Frank Williams gave IHCC its first lead of the game when he opened the scoring in the first OT.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But after Dontay Jackson scored on consecutive breakaway layups SCC was on top 89-84.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">That’s when Deng stepped up for the Warriors.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The freshman nailed one three to cut the lead to two, and after the Blackhawks made a free throw to make it 90-87, Deng buried another trey to send the game to a second OT.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Kendrick hit two free throws to start the next overtime. Joe Scott gave SCC a brief lead with a 3-pointer, but Deng sank another three and the Warriors didn’t trail again.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Stevens scored the final six points for his team, but with SCC trailing 101-98 with one minute to play, he made just one of two foul shots and the Warriors closed out the game with two free throws by Gary Williams, Jr. and one by Jameel McKay in the last 25 seconds.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">McKay’s 30 points led Indian Hills.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He had 16 points, Dustin Hogue 13 and Kendrick 12 in the second half when IHCC outscored the hosts 52-29.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Stevens made four threes at the end of the first half to cap a 20-point half for the freshman guard.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Indian Hills’ nine first-half field goals and 28 points were lows for the season.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Southeastern jumped on the Warriors early, scoring the first ten points in just three minutes, and steadily building their advantage thanks in large part to the hot shooting of Stevens.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Most comebacks of the size of IHCC’s are fueled by 3-pointers, but Kendrick’s trey in the last minute of regulation was only the second of the game for the Warriors.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Deng, then, drilled three in the overtimes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Saturday’s game was marred by a melee at the end of the second overtime with players, coaches and fans from both teams filling the floor after the buzzer sounded.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There were a number of brief flare-ups before order was finally restored.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Council Bluffs, Iowa – Despite their lowest point total in two years, the Indian Hills Warriors clinched at least a share of another conference championship with a 67-59 win over Iowa Western on Saturday night in a battle between two teams ranked in the top five nationally. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">No. 5 Indian Hills (25-2, 6-0) turned the game around by outscoring fourth-ranked Iowa Western 17-2 at the end of the first half.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Warriors then held off the Reivers in the second half, even though IHCC only made six field goals after halftime.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Both of Iowa Western’s losses this year have been to the Warriors, who won their 11<sup>th</sup> straight game overall and their seventh in a row against Iowa Western (24-2, 4-2).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Indian Hills is 20-2 against the Reivers over the last seven years.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Ronald Ross led the Warriors with 20 points, seven of them coming in the final 1:23 of the first half.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ross made a pair of free throws in the final seconds of the half and then, after an Iowa Western turnover, nailed a 3-pointer at the buzzer to give IHCC a 39-26 lead at the half.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Ross started the second half with a basket to put the lead at 15, the largest of the game, and Iowa Western spent the rest of the night chipping away at the deficit.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Twice IWCC’s Josiah Coleman made it a three-point game, the second time at 60-57.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Devin Brooks missed a potential tying three with 2:43 left, and Tyrone Haughton made one of two free throws to get the Reivers to within two points.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Dustin Hogue gave Indian Hills a little breathing room by scoring on a putback with a little over a minute remaining.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The Warriors then made five-of-six foul shots in the final minute, the first two by Gary Williams, Jr., who was a perfect 8-for-8 for the game.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He helped fill in for starting point guard Jelan Kendrick, who is sidelined with a shoulder separation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Williams had 14 points and Hogue 10.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">On a night when he made only 2-of-14 shots from the field, Warriors’ scoring leader Jameel McKay grabbed 18 rebounds.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The game was tied four times in the first half until Brooks put IWCC ahead 24-22 with two free throws.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That’s when Indian Hills took off.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">After tying the score at 24-all, the Warriors got consecutive field goals from Richard Amardi.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>McKay and Amardi each scored inside and then Ross stepped up at the end of the first half, with his three as the half ended reminiscent of his game-winning 3-pointer two weeks earlier at Marshalltown.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The Warriors’ run to close the opening half was identical to the one they had in the earlier meeting with Iowa Western, when IHCC ended the Reivers’ 20-game winning streak to open the season.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Brooks had 14 points to lead Iowa Western and Coleman and Tavian Pomlee each added 11.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The 21 field goals for Indian Hills were the fewest they’ve had in the past two years, but they helped themselves by making 22-of-32 free throws, outscoring the Reivers 22-11 from the foul line.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">With the win, Indian Hills clinches no worse than a share of the conference title –they own a two-game lead with two games to play. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It means they’ll have home court advantage throughout the Region 11 postseason tournament.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And home is where they want to be, winning all 16 home games this year and 36 straight over the last two seasons.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The Warriors are idle until playing at Southeastern CC on Saturday night.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Their final two regular season games are the following week – at Moberly (Mo.) on Feb. 19 and at home against Marshalltown Feb. 23.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The postseason begins the next week.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
The win was the 16th straight at home this season for the Warriors and their 36th in a row since the start of the 2011-12 season.<br />
<br />
Indian Hills, who earlier in the day was elevated to the No. 5 spot in the NJCAA national poll, improved to 24-2 for the season and now prepares for this Saturday's trip to Council Bluffs and a showdown with No. 4 Iowa Western. The Warriors lead IWCC by one game in the conference standings and can clinch at least a tie for the league title with a win.<br />
<br />
Indian Hills and Three Rivers were locked in a one-point game with just under eight minutes to go in the first half Tuesday. The Warriors then went on a 12-0 run over the next three minutes to build a 13-point lead and they were never in trouble again. <br />
<br />
Ronnie Stevens, who had a double-double while getting extended playing time, scored the first four points in the run and Richard Amardi, who tallied 14 for the game, accounted for the final four.<br />
<br />
The lead was still at 13 points heading into the second half and then the Warriors took off. They erupted for 31 points in the first 8 1/2 minutes of the half and the lead had grown to over 30 points by the midpoint of the half. The largest lead was 37 points.<br />
<br />
Frank Williams had 10 of his 16 points in a two-minute stretch in which he made two 3s and two layups, finishing one of the fast breaks with a slam dunk.<br />
<br />
After struggling to find the range from three-point territory in the first half, Indian Hills made eight 3s in the last half, with six different players making at least one trey. Three Rivers hit only 2-of-16 from behind the arc for the game.<br />
<br />
Stevens had 11 points and 10 rebounds and Amardi also had a double-double with 11 rebounds to go along with his 14 points.<br />
<br />
Ibrahim Djambo had 21 and Ayinde Sprewell 18 for the Raiders, who are 13-12.<br />

The Warriors, who had drubbed the Hawks, 120-89, last month on Northeast's home floor, had to battle the entire 40 minutes in the return encounter before prevailing, 106-95.<br />
<br />
The game wasn't decided until IHCC put together a late 12-4 run after Northeast had crept to within five points at 94-89 with 4 1/2 minutes to play.<br />
<br />
Indian Hills tried to break away, taking a double-digit lead once near the end of the first half and two more times in the second half, only to see NCC get the lead back to as little as four points.<br />
<br />
The 95 points the Hawks scored were the second-most the Warriors have given up in a game this year, topped only by the 96 scored by Southern Idaho in an overtime loss IHCC suffered in November.<br />
<br />
Indian Hills topped 100 points for the 12th time in 25 games and ran its conference record to 5-0, one game ahead of Iowa Western in the league standings.<br />
<br />
The game was tied six times and there were five lead changes in the opening half. Richard Amardi, one of five Warriors in double figures with 16 points, had two consecutive field goals after the score was tied at 29 and Indian Hills never trailed again. <br />
<br />
It was tied at 42-all and IHCC then outscored the Hawks, 15-6, the rest of the first half to go ahead by nine at halftime.<br />
<br />
The lead grew to 14 early in the second half and that was the largest lead for Indian Hills. The late charge for the Warriors started with a free throw and then Majok Deng got his only basket to make it 97-89. Jameel McKay, who scored 17, hit a pair of free throws to build the advantage to 10 and the Warriors were home free.<br />
<br />
Dustin Hogue led Indian Hills with a season-high 24-point output. Ronald Ross added 18. Amardi's 16 points tied his season-high.<br />
<br />
Sean McGary paced five double-figure scorers for Northeast with 23 points.<br />
<br />
The win was the 15th straight at home this season for IHCC and their 35th in a row over the last two years. They will put those streaks on the line in a non-conference game with Three Rivers CC on Tuesday night before traveling to Council Bluffs for a showdown with Iowa Western on Saturday.<br />

<br />
IHCC used a 23-5 run to close the first half to take a 20-point halftime lead on the way to its eighth straight victory, a season-high winning streak.<br />
<br />
Jameel McKay carried the Warriors early, scoring 12 points in the first 10 minutes. Dustin Hogue ignited the late first-half run and Ronald Ross and Jelan Kendrick ended the spurt with back-to-back 3-pointers. <br />
<br />
McKay led IHCC with 19 points, Ross and Kendrick tallied 16 each and Hogue had 15.<br />
<br />
After grabbing the big halftime lead, the Warriors increased the advantage to as many as 24 in the second half. The closest the Greyhounds got after that was the 13-point final margin.<br />
<br />
Moberly received solid performances in the second half from Mike Anderson and Brennen Hughes. Both had seven second-half field goals, just one fewer than the entire team had in the first half. Anderson scored 17 of his game-high 21 points after halftime and Hughes had 15 of his 18.<br />
<br />
The Warriors had struggled from three-point range in the previous two games, but made eight 3s, half of them by Ross, who leads the team with 60.<br />
<br />
The victory pushed Indian Hills' home court winning streak to 34 with 14 of those wins coming this season.<br />
<br />
It was the first of three home games in a row for the Warriors who return to conference play on Saturday night against Northeast (Neb).<br />

Ross buried a 3-pointer at the buzzer to allow the Warriors to escape with an 80-77 win over Marshalltown Saturday night.<br />
<br />
The game-winning shot came after MCC's Cameron Robinson hit a pair of free throws with 2.8 seconds remaining in regulation to tie the score at 77. Richard Amardi got the ball inbounds to Dustin Hogue who delivered a pass to Ross. The sophomore guard had just enough time to turn and release his shot from about 30 feet out. The ball was in the air when the horn sounded.<br />
<br />
It was a disappointing loss for Marshalltown, which led for almost the entire game. Indian Hills led 2-0 and 4-2, but a 3-pointer by Chris Caird put MCC on top, a lead they held until late in the second half.<br />
<br />
Ross hit a driving bank shot with 1:18 on the clock to give IHCC its first lead since the opening minutes. Robinson went to the foul line with 54.7 seconds to play and hit both free throws to put MCC ahead 75-74.<br />
<br />
Amardi was fouled with 38.8 seconds remaining and calmly drained both attempts to give Indian Hills a 76-75 advantage. The Warriors then forced a turnover and Jelan Kendrick was fouled with 11.3 seconds to go. He made one of two free throws to put the lead at two before Robinson again hit both free throws with just under three seconds to play, setting the stage for Ross' heroics.<br />
<br />
Marshalltown became the first team this year to lead Indian Hills at halftime, taking a 44-35 lead into the locker room. It was the Tigers' third nine-point lead of the opening half and they eventually went on top by 12 at 61-49 with 11 minutes to play.<br />
<br />
Jameel McKay was in the middle of the Warriors' comeback, scoring 16 of his team-high 24 points in the second half. McKay had another double-double with 10 rebounds to go along with his point total. Amardi had a season-best 16 points and 11 rebounds.<br />
<br />
Caird led all scorers with 26 points for MCC. The Tigers' Troidell Carter had 18 points in the first half, but didn't score in the second half and picked up his fourth foul with 14:22 to play.<br />
<br />
Both teams struggled shooting the ball, each shooting around 42 percent. Indian Hills outrebounded the Tigers 48-32 with second-chance points playing a big part in the Warriors' ability to come back.<br />
<br />
Indian Hills finishes the first half of the conference schedule with a 4-0 record and is 21-2 overall. MCC is 15-6 and 0-4. The Warriors have a seven-game winning streak for the third time this season. They will host Moberly Area CC on Tuesday night. <br />

<br />
After SCC's Joe Scott tied the game at 67-all with a 3-pointer with just under five minutes to play, the Warriors started their run with a nice feed from Dustin Hogue to Jameel McKay who finished with a dunk. Then Ronald Ross set up Jelan Kendrick for a hoop and Ross added two straight baskets. By the time Ross assisted on a McKay bucket the Warriors were home free with a 10-point lead and two minutes to play.<br />
<br />
Kendrick led the IHCC scoring with 15. Richard Amardi scored 14, 12 of them in the second half, and pulled down nine rebounds. McKay had a double-double with 12 points and 12 rebounds and he blocked four shots. Ross wound up with 13 after going scoreless in the first half.<br />
<br />
Indian Hills was 25-of-31 at the foul line, outscoring SCC by 18 points at the free throw stripe.<br />
<br />
Jordan Stevens scored 10 straight points in the opening half as SCC used that burst to get untracked and take an 18-10 lead.<br />
<br />
The Warriors got a nice contribution off the bench by Rawane Ndiaye who tied the game twice -- at 25 on a layup and at 27 on two free throws. <br />
<br />
When Frank Williams hit a scoop shot with two seconds to play in the first half, it kept the Warriors' streak alive of leading at halftime in every game this season.<br />
<br />
The IHCC lead was as large as 11 points in the second half, the last time at 60-49 on a tip-in by Williams. That's when the Black Hawks started their comeback that culminated with two tying 3s by Scott. <br />
<br />
Indian Hills ended the game on a 15-3 run that began with the 10 unanswered points.<br />
<br />
Tyrie Orosco already had a double-double for SCC at halftime and he wound up with 19 points and a game-high 14 rebounds. Stevens had 18 points. <br />
<br />
With the win, the Warriors go to 3-0 in conference play and 20-2 overall; SCC is 2-2 and 19-5.<br />
<br />
IHCC takes its unbeaten league record to Marshalltown on Saturday night.<br />

<br />
Iowa Western came into the game with a school-record 20-game winning streak, but was held 21 points below its season scoring average in losing for the sixth consecutive time to Indian Hills.<br />
<br />
The Warriors outscored the visitors, 40-30, in the second half and held Iowa Western to just 28-percent shooting from the floor over the final 20 minutes in winning its fifth straight game and 19th in 21 games on the season.<br />
<br />
Iowa Western made only four-of-29 three-point attempts and was outrebounded by IHCC, 57-44.<br />
<br />
Indian Hills jumped out to a quick 7-0 lead, but the Reivers, who were scoreless for the first 3 1/2 minutes, recovered to take their own seven-point lead at 21-14. <br />
<br />
With Iowa Western ahead 29-24 with around five minutes to go in the half, Indian Hills started a run that would put them ahead for good. Ronald Ross had consecutive baskets, the second after a backcourt steal and layup, and Jelan Kendrick followed with a go-ahead bucket. When Jameel McKay, who led all scorers with 21 points, finished a fast break with a dunk, the Warriors were on top 32-29 and they never trailed again.<br />
<br />
The two teams had only one 3-pointer each in the first 19 minutes of play until IHCC's Frank Williams drained back-to-back 3s and Devin Brooks hit one for Iowa Western just before the first-half buzzer to make it 39-34 at intermission.<br />
<br />
Iowa Western got to within three points in the second half at 43-40 and still trailed by only four at 53-49 before IHCC used another 8-0 spurt to gain control.<br />
<br />
Rawane Ndiaye made a nice move for a reverse layup, his only points of the game to start the run with Williams, McKay and Ross all adding field goals for the Warriors' first double-digit lead of the game with just over nine minutes remaining.<br />
<br />
The lead eventually grew to 17 in the final minutes as the Warriors picked up the victory, despite their second-lowest point total of the season.<br />
<br />
McKay added 11 rebonds to go along with his game-high 21 points; Ross had 18 and Kendrick 17 for IHCC. Brooks topped IWCC with 16 and Tavian Pomlee scored 14.<br />
<br />
Indian Hills, alone in the conference lead at 2-0, will host Southeastern CC on Wednesday night and then travel to Marshalltown CC on Saturday.<br />

<br />
Sean Scott hit a 3-pointer to help Northeast shave a 13-point IHCC lead to six at 30-24 with just over seven minutes to play in the opening half.<br />
<br />
That's when the Warriors took off. They outscored Northeast 31-11 the remainder of the half to build a 26-point lead at intermission. And they steadily pulled away in the second half, forcing 30 NCC turnovers for the game and scoring 59 more points in the final 20 minutes.<br />
<br />
The Warriors (18-2, 1-0) took a whopping 103 shots and when they weren't scoring on the initial attempt they pounded the offensive glass, corraling 31 offensive rebounds. Both teams shot just under 50-percent for the game, but IHCC had 28 more shot attempts than the Hawks (13-7, 1-1).<br />
<br />
Indian Hills' Jelan Kendrick poured in 14 second-half points and led all scorers with 22 points on 10-of-13 shooting from the field. Dustin Hogue helped the Warriors' first-half explosion, scoring 16 points in the opening half. He ended the night with 18.<br />
<br />
Richard Amardi had a solid game for IHCC with 10 points, 10 rebounds and five steals. Indian Hills had eight players in double figures. Two of them were Ronald Ross and Frank Williams, who hit back-to-back 3s at the end of the first half. Ross also dished out nine assists. His 3-pointer with over eight minutes to play put IHCC over the 100-point mark for the 11th time this season.<br />
<br />
Scott had 19 points to lead Northeast and Khapri Alston had 18, all of them in the second half.<br />
<br />
The win gives the Warriors a four-game winning streak and some momentum heading into Saturday's game with Iowa Western at the Hellyer Center. Iowa Western is 20-0 and ranked third in the nation. Tipoff is at 7:00.<br />

<br />
After the Warriors got a defensive stop following Kendrick's bucket, Frank Williams made one of two free throws to give IHCC a 75-73 lead. Jalen Lacy then went to the line with a chance to tie the score, but made only one free throw to leave TRCC a point behind.<br />
<br />
Indian Hills' Dustin Hogue then made the biggest shot of the night when he was fouled while making a shot in the lane. He added a free throw to give the Warriors a four-point lead with 17.2 seconds to play.<br />
<br />
The Warriors' Jameel McKay -- who had a double-double with 22 points and 11 rebounds -- rebounded a missed shot and dropped in two free throws for an 80-74 lead with 9.1 seconds remaining.<br />
<br />
James Macklin's three-pointer for Three Rivers and a Kendrick free throw finished the scoring.<br />
<br />
Three Rivers had all kinds of trouble hanging onto the ball in the first half as they turned it over 24 times. Cutting their turnovers to only two in the second half allowed the Raiders to make up an 11-point halftime deficit. <br />
<br />
They took their first lead at 61-60 on a tip-dunk by Ibrahim Djambo with 6:51 to play. McKay's tip-in on the next possession allowed IHCC to regain the lead and the game stayed closed the rest of the night.<br />
<br />
Djambo led all scorers with 26 points and he added 11 rebounds. Indian Hills' Hogue also had a double-double with 17 points and 11 boards.<br />
<br />
The Warriors sprinted out to a 9-0 lead and, helped greatly by Three Rivers' inability to take care of the basketball, eventually built the lead to 27-14 on a 3-pointer by Hogue. Djambo banked in a three at the end of the half to allow the Raiders to get to within 11 at intermission.<br />
<br />
Three Rivers finally got untracked offensively in the second half and the Raiders' John Meyer, Djambo and Lacy all scored 12 or more points over the final 20 minutes.<br />
<br />
Like Three Rivers, Indian Hills had turnover problems in the opening half, committing 17. They actually wound up with one more than TRCC, 27-26. <br />
