Ottumwa -- Indian Hills held its second opponent in three nights to 22-percent field- goal shooting as the Warriors walloped John Wood CC, 70-31, at the Hellyer Center on Saturday night. It was the fewest points allowed by a Jeff Kidder-coached IHCC team in his six years at the college.
John Wood actually led 12-10 with about 11 minutes remaining in the first half. The Warriors then scored the next 17 points and ran away from there. Chad Dillard's three-point play gave IHCC the lead for good and five different players scored in the 17-0 run. Will Carr scored inside for John Wood, but it was the only points the Trail Blazers could muster over the final 11 minutes of the first half.
The Warriors quickly expanded the lead to 30 at the outset of the second half on a basket by Dijon Farr and back-to-back 3's by Trey Starks and Gary Ricks, Jr.
After hitting just two three-pointers in the opening half, the Warriors nailed six in the final 20 minutes. John Wood not only shot 22-percent for the game, but missed all 16 of their three-point attempts.
Starks led IHCC with 16 points and Ricks had 15. Antonio Landers had 12 to pace the Trail Blazers.
Indian Hills finished the first six games of the season, all at home, with a perfect 6-0 record. The Warriors now go on the road for their next six contests, starting with a game at Kirkwood CC on Tuesday night.

Second-Half Rally Leads to Warrior Victory
Ottumwa -- Indian Hills used an early second-half run to take control and the Warriors went on to defeat Kennedy-King 75-64 in the Klyn Automotive Classic on Friday night.
Indian Hills overcame a slow start in the first half, but still trailed at halftime 24-23. IHCC scored the first six points after halftime to go ahead for good and a 19-8 run came in the first eight minutes of the second half, fueled by seven points from Trey Starks.
Kennedy-King cut the deficit to six points, but Starks made two free throws and then scored on a fast-break layup after a blocked shot by Dijon Farr to build the lead back to 10 midway through the second half. The lead was as large as 16 points after a tip-in by Stephen Coles.
Two big 3's by Gary Ricks, Jr. were part of a 19-point second-half for the freshman guard. Ricks made eight straight free throws in the second half and was 12-of-14 for the game. He led all scorers with 23 points.
The Warriors won on a night when their usually reliable three-point shooting failed them. They made only 2-of-11 from behind the arc, but made up for it with 19-of-22 free-throw shooting in the second half.
Farr had his best scoring night of the season with 19 for the Warriors. Demerius Smith matched that total to lead the Statesmen.
Indian Hills concludes play in the tournament on Saturday night against John Wood CC.

Warriors Overcome Turnover Woes to Win
Ottumwa -- Usually when you commit 27 turnovers, it doesn't bode well for your chances. But Indian Hills was able to overcame its problems taking care of the basketball in an easy 74-37 win over Mid-Michigan CC on Thursday night at the Hellyer Center.
A big reason the turnovers weren't as damaging as they might have been is that the Warriors held the visitors to 22-percent field goal shooting while making 58-percent of their own field goal attempts. And they forced the Lakers into 24 turnovers of their own.
The game was tied at 3-all when IHCC made its first of many runs on the night -- an 8-0 spurt. The Warriors opened things up in the second half when Gary Ricks, Jr. hit three straight 3-pointers and Bruno Ferreira had eight of his team-high 14 points.
For the second straight game, IHCC shot over 50-percent from 3-point range, making 6-of-11. They also outrebounded Mid-Michigan 46-23 with Ferreira and Dijon Farr each grabbing nine boards.
Indian Hills heads into the weekend Kyln Automotive Classic with a 4-0 record. Mid-Michigan will also play in the tourney. Their record is 1-2.

IHCC Three-Pointers Shoot Down Ellsworth
Ottumwa -- Indian Hills used a three-point barrage to open up a big halftime lead and the Warriors cruised to a 97-75 win over Ellsworth CC in the Reed Overhead Doors Classic on Saturday night at the Hellyer Center.
The Warriors hit 10-of-15 shots from behind the arc in the opening half and made 14 in 25 attempts for the game in winning their third straight game to start the season. Indian Hills made eight 3's in the second half of Friday night's game and the 14 they made Saturday equalled the high-game total from last year.
Ellsworth took an early 8-7 lead, but Trey Starks got the Warriors' three-train going with his first of three treys in the opening half. A few minutes later, Derrick Hill nailed three consecutive three's allowing IHCC to open up its first double-digit lead at 32-21. Starks hit another three and Hill added a rare two-point basket as Indian Hills continued to widen the lead.
The first half ended, fittingly for the Warriors, when Kelvyn Valdez hit a three-pointer just before the buzzer.
Chad Dillard and Jerome Jones got in the act for IHCC early in the second half as each made his first 3 of the night. Jones' trey made the score 61-36 and the Panthers didn't get closer than 16 points the rest of the game.
Indian Hills shot 60% overall and 56% from long distance. Gary Ricks, Jr. led six Warriors in double figures with 18 points. Hill had 16. Trey Starks just missed a double-double with 13 points and 9 assists. Bill Freeman led ECC with 19, 18 of those coming in the second half.
The Warriors are idle until hosting Mid-Michigan CC on Nov. 11.

Warriors Get Back on Track, Pound Southwest Academy
Ottumwa -- A night after struggling to find a rhythm on offense, the Indian Hills Warriors had no such problem on Friday night, scoring early and often in a 119-48 dismantling of Southwest Academy on the first night of the Reed Overhead Doors Classic.
IHCC scored the first 14 points of the game, in the opening four minutes, and steadily built on the lead after that in winning their second game in a row to start the season.

Leading the balanced IHCC attack was Trey Starks with 17 points. Gary Ricks, Jr. scored 15, Jerome Jones had 14, Stephen Coles and Dijon Farr 13 each, and Derrick Hill 12 for the winners. D.J. Bennett gave a glimpse of his potential with 10 points and 10 rebounds for IHCC.
Indian Hills shot 55% from the field and only turned the ball over 13 times after committing 19 turnovers in their opening game.
The Warriors will battle Ellsworth CC in the final game of the Classic on Saturday night at 7:00.

Great Escape, Warriors Win Opener
Ottumwa -- It wasn't pretty -- opening games often aren't -- but, in the end, the Indian Hills basketball team made enough plays to win their opener, 60-52 in overtime, against Quakerdale Academy on Thursday night at the Hellyer Center.
The Warriors trailed 48-41 with around four minutes to play after Quakerdale's Nathan Freeman knocked down four straight shots, three of them three-pointers. Indian Hills then ran off eight consecutive points to grab a 49-48 lead with two minutes remaining. Chad Dillard scored off an assist from Trey Starks to put the Warriors on top.
The lead didn't last long though as Quakerdale's Chris Oliveria hit a baseline shot as the shot clock was running out to make it 50-49 in favor of the visitors.
Indian Hills' Stephen Coles was fouled with 10.4 seconds to play, but missed both free throws. Teammate Jerome Jones rebounded the second miss and was fouled. Jones made the first foul shot to tie the score at 50-all, and made the second one too. But that shot was wiped out by a lane violation against Indian Hills.
The Warriors then survived a last-second potential game-winning shot attempt by Quakerdale to extend the game to overtime.
In the extra session, Starks opened the scoring with a three-pointer and Gary Ricks, Jr. added another three for IHCC. Starks hit a pair of free throws and Bruno Ferreira scored on a layup as the Warriors outscored the Eagles, 10-2, in overtime.
Quakerdale jumped out to a 19-13 lead in the first half as the Warriors got off to a slow start offensively.
Indian Hills took a 27-23 lead at the half when D.J. Bennett scored on a tip-in late in the opening half.
The visitors though ran off the first five points of the second half and battled the Warriors on even terms until Quakerdale opened their seven-point lead.
Jones started the IHCC comeback with a bucket and Starks then took over, hitting two free throws and a shot in the lane and assisting on Dillard's goal to give Indian Hills its 49-48 lead. Starks had all but two of his team-high 11 points at the end of regulation and overtime.
Ricks had 10 points for the Warriors. Freeman led all scorers with 15 for Quakerdale.
Indian Hills will host the Reed Overhead Doors Classic this weekend with games against Southwest Academy on Friday night at 7:00 and Ellsworth CC on Saturday at 7.
