Rangers edge Rebels again From Herald Staff Reports In a tight game, on an opponent’s home floor, when the Forest Park boys basketball team should be most B OY S vulnerable, BASKETBALL it’s been at its Rangers........... 46 best. For the secRebels............. 43 ond time this season, the Rangers surged past Pocket Athletic Conference foe

South Spencer in Reo by three points, as they did by way of a 4643 verdict Friday. Forest Park (5-5, 2-0) outscored the Rebels 16-13 in the fourth quarter three weeks to the day the Rangers edged South Spencer 6764 in overtime of the two teams’ first-round matchup in the PSC Holiday Classic. Ranger guard Ben Englert gathered a game-high 16 points while converting 8-of-11 foul shots

for Forest Park, which hit just 11of-20 free throws as a team. Joel Weyer chipped in with 15 points, including four 3-pointers, for Forest Park while Damon Wilmes and Dakota Begle each offered four. Isaac Hebner (14 points) paced the Rebels (6-6, 1-1), who have lost five straight after starting the season 6-1. The Rangers will welcome North Posey (3-7, 2-1) to Beuchler Arena tonight at 7:30.

Durant dumps 54 on Warriors By The Associated Press Kevin Durant scored a careerhigh 54 points to help the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the Golden State Warriors NBA 127-121 on Friday night. Durant made 19-of-28 field goals and 11-of-13 free throws in his third straight game with at least 36 points. Serge Ibaka had 21 points and eight rebounds, Reggie Jackson scored 14 points and Kendrick Perkins added 12 rebounds for the Thunder, who won for the third time in four games. Stephen Curry had 37 points and 11 assists and Klay Thompson added 26 points for the Warriors.

Heat 101, 76ers 86: LeBron James

had 21 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds, Miami snapped a threegame losing streak. Chris Bosh scored 25 points, Norris Cole and Shane Battier had 13 points apiece, and the Heat avoided their first four-game losing streak since March 2011. Lakers 107, Celtics 104: Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo returned from a knee injury and missed a 3-pointer that could have sent the game into overtime, sending the Lakers to the win. Pau Gasol had 24 points and 13 rebounds for Los Angeles. Rondo, who was limited to 20 minutes in his first game since tearing his right ACL on Jan. 25,

2013, had eight points, four assists and two rebounds. Clippers 109, Knicks 95: Blake Griffin scored 32 points, Jamal Crawford added 29 and the Clippers opened a seven-game road trip with their fifth straight victory. Jazz 110, Pistons 89: Trey Burke had 20 points and a career-high 12 assists in his return to Michigan, leading Utah. Grizzlies 91, Kings 90: Mike Conley had 25 points and six assists for Memphis. Wizards 96, Bulls 93: Washington’s John Wall had 23 points and 11 assists. Kirk Hinrich led Chicago with 18 points, and D.J. Augustin scored 16. The Bulls had won six of seven.

Cats (Concluded from Page 16) go with seven rebounds and two blocked shots. The night wasn’t totally overcast in gloom for Jasper, which beat Washington for the fourth straight time (following 10 successive losses to the Hatchets) and hiked the lead high enough for the reserves to finish the game — triggering the biggest cheer of the night when senior sub Kyle McWilliams tallied his first points of the season after taking a feed from Ahrens and rolling in a reverse layup to cap Jasper’s scoring. But Goebel continues to prod, push and challenge, because he knows bigger things are possible for his guys, who can peer above .500 for the first time tonight if

they win on the road at improved Pike Central (4-4). As Goebel sees it, his work in the matter is largely accomplished. Now, it’s time for a few to seize command and everyone to aid in a push toward consistency. “Two of our biggest weaknesses as a team right now is we’re young and we don’t always have real good leadership. Because of that, we don’t always start the game with the right mentality. As a coach, you can teach and prepare and talk all you want, but it’s up to the players to make sure

they’re mentally ready to play, and we’re not always real good at that,” Goebel said. “The players can’t keep relying on their coaches for energy. If you’re the type of person where your boss has to chew you out to get you motivated, you’re not going to be successful. We need a little more self-motivation, a player or two on our team to make sure that our mind is where it needs to be and we’re sharp where we need to be. This team, it is a problem that we have to deal with — in practice and in games, if Coach isn’t pushing they’re not always playing at a level they need to be playing at. Hopefully that does change.”

we still have 16 points. We’ve got to do something.’ But we kept battling, we kept attacking the basket.” Even with the dismal quarter, the Patriots reached the 50-point mark for the 32nd straight game. The last time Heritage Hills dipped below the half-century mark came at the 2012 sectional, a 41-37 loss to Vincennes Lincoln. Despite a scoring output that fell 18 points below their season average entering the contest, and a rare single-digit scoring night for Devon Merder (nine points, 10 rebounds) — the last time arrived 28 games ago — the Patriots continued to acquire know-how for neck-and-neck bouts like Friday’s, which included 11 lead changes. For one, don’t force the issue. Sisley lauded the patient penetration of point guard Sam Scherry, who played just five minutes in the first half because of foul trouble. In the second half, the senior sliced into the lane, converted all three of his layup attempts and dished out four assists. Plus, getting inside the Chargers’ 2-3 zone finally freed up

space on the perimeter for Merder as well as Schaefer, who finished with a team-high 14 points. And when those options were shut down, Spenser Minto (13 points) finished down low, going 6-for-10 from the field. When the senior forward gathered one of his five rebounds with less than six seconds to play in the third quarter and dished an outlet to Scherry, who then chucked a pass downcourt to Ward for a buzzer-beating layup to push Heritage Hills ahead 35-30 entering the final period, it seemed as if the Pats had finally begun dictating the speed they wanted. But then Pike Central pumped the brakes, regained the lead and forced Heritage Hills to execute. Down 38-35, the Pats recorded buckets on their next five possessions, while also holding the Chargers scoreless for seven straight trips down the floor. Kegan Aldridge paced Pike Central with 19 points and aided a Charger crew that started two freshmen and a sophomore yet committed just six turnovers against the Pats’ active defense. Garrett Elliott tacked on 10

points and six rebounds for the Chargers. When Ward helped force Pike Central’s final turnover right beside the Patriots’ bench with Heritage Hills ahead by four with about four minutes to play, all those sitting jumped up as Ward and teammates exchanged some chest bumps. “We kept battling,” Sisley said. “And that’s it. The kids in that locker room, they never stop battling.” Did the slower speed impact the Pats? Of course, Ward acknowledged. But from the experience will come growth. And after that, watch out. “There’s always room for improvement in everything. Even when we’re running, there’s room for improvement,” Ward said. “But we want to get to where teams can’t defend us either way, and they have to pick and choose which (style) they want. And we want to get them to where they’re equal and where we can still beat team by 20 even though they slowed us down.”
