"No matter what happens, I know that we will be prepared. We're gonna leave it all on the court and we will let the chips fall where they may.

We will be ready."  Coach Alstork stated. 

Alstork reached 50 wins in Clark State faster than any coach in Eagles history.

Clark State Defeats Hocking on Sophomore Night,as Team Stays Alive, Sets Wins Record for Program

  Clark State Defeats Hocking as as Team Stays Alive, Sets Wins Record for Program 

By Deon Cash 

The Clark State Eagles have broken a lot of records this season.

But the win over Hocking hit different, as the Eagles won their 20th win of the season, eclipsing the previous record of 19.

The Eagles, on sophomore night, celebrated a 103-70 win over the Hawks as they pushed their overall record to 20-9 while staying in the OCCAC tournament race.  

 

The sophomore class, featuring Omar Banks, Romeiro Martin, Jarmaine Tubbs, Tabias Thompson, &  Brandon Miller, led the way in front of a packed house. 

Hocking lead early before the Eagles took command, taking a 13-point lead, only to watch it evaporate as Hocking went on a run.

But late in the first half the Eagles ignited another run to gain a double digit lead at half (56-41).

They never looked back. 

All of the players played well, as did others in the blowout win. 

But Brandon Miller, who dropped 21 on the night,  lead all scorers and it was "Miller Time" on many occasions in the 1st half and was the MVP of the game.

Coach Alstork had some words for his sophomores. 

"I really appreciate the sophomore class who have laid it on the line for me the last two years. Without them I don't know where we would be. They have shown the consistency and dedication it takes to help turn a program around. I love them all and hope they can succeed at the next level."

Now, with 1 game left, the Eagles, who don't control their own destiny, still can make the playoffs with a win and some help. They will take on the top team in the league on the road (Lakeland). 

"We understand where we at.  Like we have done all season long, we will come prepared to play. We didn't have the focus to win the last game in Cleveland. We will go back ready to play Saturday. We need that win. We're going to leave it all on the court. Were gonna' put all our chips on the table and let them fall where they may."  

The Eagles play Saturday in Lakeland at 11am ET.  

GAME NOTES 

HOCKING PLAYER HURT, TAKEN TO HOSPITAL

HOCKING C Mouhamadu Seck took a nasty fall going up for a dunk, and had to be taken to the hospital in Springfield.  The fall happened mid-way through the second half. He was rushed to the hospital after having a issue later in the game. Keep Mr Seck in your prayers.

ALSTORK REACHES 50 WINS

With the win, this gives Coach Alstork and his staff  his 50th win as the head coach in his 3rd season. This marks the fastest a coach has ever reached that mark in Clark State history.  

COLLEGE COACHES IN THE BUILDING 

In a packed house, there were a few college coaches in the building as the sophomores look to head to the next level. A couple of coaches actually enjoyed the atmosphere at the game.
