Hoops Schedule Features Both New and Familiar Foes
OTTUMWA --- Two teams that joined Indian Hills in the NJCAA national tournament field last March, Three Rivers (Mo.) and College of Southern Idaho, and a new conference foe, Northeast (Neb.), are among the opponents on the Warriors’ 2012-13 basketball schedule.
“I think our schedule will be a great challenge for us and it fits our team very well,” said IHCC coach Barret Peery of the 30-game regular season slate that includes 17 home games.
The season will begin with back-to-back home tournaments, two of the four tourneys IHCC will host this year.
The season-opening tournament, the Blackwell Tire Classic, is Nov. 2-3 with the Warriors playing Carl Sandburg (Ill.) in the opener and Kirkwood the following night.
The next weekend Indian Hills will welcome Paris (Tex.) back to the Hellyer Center as part of the Reed Overhead Doors Classic. IHCC won a hard-fought game with Paris, 84-78, last year. Paris won the national title in 2005.
PCS and HyVee will also host two-day tournaments, both of them in December.
There will be two long three-game road trips. In November, the Warriors play at Salt Lake CC and then travel to a tourney hosted by Southern Idaho. Indian Hills defeated Southern Idaho in last year’s national tournament on the way to a seventh-place finish.
IHCC will play three games in Arizona in a five-day period, starting New Year’s Day. Those contests will be followed by a game at Three Rivers and one at Northeast (Neb.).
Peery said all the road games will be very challenging, especially the trip to Utah and Idaho and a pair of games in Missouri at Three Rivers and Moberly. He notes that will be a great way to prepare his team for the rugged conference schedule which now consists of eight games. Two of them will be played on Wednesdays, including the home encounter with Southeastern.
Indian Hills returns two of its top three scorers, Jameel McKay and Dustin Hogue, and other important parts from a team that finished 33-4 last year and earned the school’s ninth national tourney appearance.
“With so many returning players, I’m excited to challenge them with some great home games here at the Hellyer Center,” said the IHCC head coach.
Indian Hills went undefeated, 20-0, at home last year and has an incredible homecourt winning percentage of .907 over the last two decades.
The 2012-13 basketball schedule can be found on the IHCC website at www.indianhills.edu. Ticket information for the home games will be released later this month.

Former Warrior Michael Haynes Killed
Ottumwa -- Michael Haynes, a key contributor on last year's Indian Hills national tournament basketball team, was killed Thursday in a shooting in his hometown of Chicago.
According to news reports, Haynes was shot when he tried to break up a fight between neighborhood friends over a necklace. He was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital.
The 22-year old Haynes had signed a letter-of-intent with Iona College in New York and reportedly was set to move there next week.
"We're shocked and deeply saddened by this news," said Indian Hills coach Barret Peery, who had recruited Haynes to be a part of his first team at IHCC prior to the 2011-12 season. "Michael was such a great kid and great member of our team," Peery said. "He was a popular guy who absolutely loved being a part of this family."
Haynes averaged 6.9 points and 4.5 rebounds in his only season with Indian Hills. He played in 31 games and started 11. The 6-foot-7-inch power forward came to Indian Hills after attending the University of Texas-El Paso.
"Michael had a bright future," Peery added. "He had done everything to give himself the opportunity to continue his education and career. It's a sad end to the story."

Mickeal to Return to IHCC
Ottumwa -- Former Indian Hills Community College basketball All-American and Athletic Hall of Fame inductee Pete Mickeal will be honored at a special event on the IHCC campus on Friday, July 27.
Mickeal was a member of the first-ever Hall of Fame class at Indian Hills, but was unable to attend the induction ceremony last February. He had a good excuse, though. He was busy playing in his third season with FC Barcelona in Spain.
The Rock Island, Ill. native will return to the Midwest this month and will come to Ottumwa to receive his Hall of Fame award. The special induction ceremony will take place in Warrior Junction in the Advanced Technology Center on the IHCC Ottumwa campus. The event will run from 4 – 6 p.m. Mickeal will be presented his Hall of Fame crystal and there will be an opportunity to visit with the former IHCC star.
Mickeal was a first-team All-American for the Warriors in 1998, a year in which he was also named the national Player of the Year and the MVP at the national tournament. He is the second-leading scorer in school history.
After playing on back-to-back national championship teams at Indian Hills, Mickeal went to the University of Cincinnati where he was a first-team all-conference choice both years he played for the Bearcats.
Mickeal recently finished his third season with FC Barcelona, helping them to a spot in the Euroleague Final Four and a third-place finish in the tourney. In his initial season in Spain in 2009-10, Mickeal’s FC Barcelona team won the Euroleague title as well as the Spanish League crown.
A knee injury cut short Mickeal’s 2010-11 season, but he came back strong this past season when FC Barcelona had the most wins in the Euroleague and the Spanish League.
Mickeal has had a long and distinguished professional basketball career, playing in five different foreign countries following a stint in the American Basketball Association.
The public is invited to the induction ceremony and reception for Mickeal on July 27.

IHCC's Buckley Headed Back to Michigan
Ottumwa -- Indian Hills sophomore DeAndray Buckley has signed a letter of intent with Central Michigan University. Buckley, a 6-foot-5, 205-pound wing, played this past season for the Warriors after spending his freshman year at the University of New Hampshire.
Buckley, a native of Detroit, was one of the captains on this year's IHCC squad. He averaged 5.6 points and 2.6 rebounds. He missed six games in January and February with a knew injury and the injury forced him to sit out three postseason games as well. But he returned to the lineup and played the final three games in the national tournament scoring 16 points in those contests, including nine against Southern Idaho.
Buckley was an honorable mention all-region choice in his lone season at IHCC.
Central Michigan earlier hired former Drake University head coach Keno Davis as its new coach. And Davis is happy to add Buckley to the roster for his first team. "DeAndray has been a leader both on and off the court at two storied programs -- Romulus High School and Indian Hills," said Davis. "His combination of toughness, high basketball IQ and outstanding academic record make him a great fit for our program."
In high school, Buckley was part of a school-record 79 victories in four years and played in two state semifinals. He averaged over 15 points and nine rebounds as a senior.
