Serving Lincoln County for more than a century!
The 10th Annual Ryan Floch Memorial games were held at Big Bend Community College in Moses Lake December 13. The Odessa-Harrington Titans took on the St. John-Endicott Eagles, as the boys and girls varsity teams fought it out in a non-league contest. The BBCC Runnin’ Vikings then played an exhibition game against the Gonzaga Mens Basketball Club team.
The winner of the Ryan Floch Scholarship was Cody Groth of Republic. He plays guard for the Vikings. His older brothers also played for BBCC. The scholarship for an Odessa student was not awarded this year, because there was no applicant from Odessa.
The event raised $1,050, and there was a good turnout, according to Doug Sly, BBCC Foundation director.
Titan girls vs. St. John-Endicott
The Titan girls basketball team had a tough game against the Eagles, losing by a lopsided 44-26. Plenty of mistakes and missed shots by the Titans allowed the Eagles to run up a 13-0 lead at the end of the first quarter. Jordyn Tanke made the first O-H score in the second quarter to kick off an 8-2 run, closing the gap to 15-8 at half time.The Titans were able to pull within six at one point in the second half, but the Eagles held them off and took the win.
| O-H | 0 | 8 | 10 | 8 | -26 | |
| St. J-E | 13 | 2 | 13 | 16 | -44 |
Tanke led the Titans with 8 points. Other scoring: Charli Moffett 2, Jessie Whitaker 3, Kendall Todd 4, Rebekah Marshall 2, Hannah Schmidt 2, Cydnee Kieffer 3, Chelsea Fisher 2, Kaeli Shockley 0.
Titan boys vs. St. John-Endicott
The Titan boys also had a challenging game against the Eagles but came out on top, 61-51.
O-H went into the locker room at half time with a comfortable 27-16 lead. The Eagles came back in the third quarter with guns blazing, putting up 19 points in that quarter alone to the Titans’ 13. It was not enough to derail the Titans, though, and they came back strong in the fourth to put the win in the record books.
| O-H | 14 | 13 | 13 | 21 | -61 | |
| St. J-E | 8 | 8 | 19 | 16 | -51 |
Stetson Sanford had the hot hand, especially from 3-point range and led the scoring with 20 points. His teammates all contributed about equally to the final tally: Cade Weber 9, Markus Smith 9, Brett Larmer 7, Justin Hunt 9, Jared King 3, Jacob DeWulf 4, Justin Hauge 8.
Only the varsity high-school teams played ahead of the college players in the Memorial Games. In the Titans’ next matchup with St. John-Endicott on January 17, 2012, however, the JV teams will be playing in Harrington beginning at 3 p.m.
BBCC vs. Gonzaga Mens Club
The Vikings defeated the Zags mens basketball club (not the NCAA team) by a score of 98 to 73. The players from the small Moses Lake community college showed the basketball-loving Zags of Spokane how the game is played.
