Clayton Boys End MICDS Season

The top-ranked Greyhounds defeated the Rams 60-51 Wednesday in the Class 3 District 6 semifinals.

The third time was not the charm Wednesday night for the MICDS boys basketball team. The Rams lost for the third time this season to Clayton and this 60-51 loss ended the MICDS season as it occured in the semifinals of the Class 3 District 6 Tournament at Clayton. "We wanted to keep it close in the fourth quarter," MICDS coach Matt Hixenbaugh said. "We were able to do that but they made more plays down the stretch than we did. I thought we played hard all night, if not smart all night." MICDS never led in the game although it came within two points several times in the second half. "I think they had four possessions with the game at two points and they scored every time," Hixenbaugh said. "We would make a big play and they always seemed to…

JBS Boys, MICDS Girls Continue Streaks

The Bomber boys win their sixth straight while Ram girls go to 14-0.

Foye Oluokun sent the John Burroughs' faithful into a frenzy with a soaring dunk in the final moments of the Bombers' 58-34 victory over MICDS before an overflow crowd Friday night at MICDS. It was an exclamation point on a wonderful performance by Burroughs, which won for the sixth time in a row. The loud "Foye, Foye, Foye, Foye" chant to the tune of the international soccer "Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole" chanted by the Burroughs' followers put a huge smile on the face of Oluokun. "It always makes me smile when they do that," said Oluokun, a sophomore. "That was my first dunk in a game and that is another reason I was so excited. I think it was all adrenaline. It was easier than I thought it would be." The same could be said of the game as MICDS …

Rams Rally

Freshman Rashad Lindsey scores 15 fourth quarter points to lead MICDS to a 59-49 win.

The MICDS boys basketball team was in dire need of a pick-me-up in the fourth quarter of their ABC Conference opener Tuesday at Lutheran South. The Rams trailed 45-40 midway through the quarter and leading scorer Carson Pryor was on the bench after fouling out. It was freshman guard Rashad Lindsey who provided the spark as he scored 15 points in the final quarter as MICDS finished the game on a 19-4 run and escaped with a hard-fought 59-49 victory. "It doesn't matter if you are a senior or a freshman," said Pryor, who scored just six points in about eight minutes of playing time. "Tonight it was Rashad's turn. He really stepped it up when we needed him." Lindsey hit a pair of free throws with 2:57 to play to pull the Rams within a point at…
