Drake lifts Raiders past Red Devils

Trevor Cummings of the Raiders collides with Calhoun’s Andrew Norman on his way to the basket during Friday’s LKC South battle in Spencer.


JIM COOPER/SPENCER NEWSPAPERS
- Josh Drake hit a driving lay-up with eight seconds left to lift Roane County past Calhoun County 47-45 Friday in an LKC South game.

A large crowd at the Raider gym watched as the two rivals battled down to the wire. After Drake hit the game-winner, Calhoun called a time out and got the ball to midcourt on the ensuing inbounds play. After another timeout, a desperation shot misfired and the Raiders (3-3) completed a season sweep of the Red Devils (0-6).

Roane got off to a fast start and built a 13-5 lead after one quarter. Calhoun came back to trail by only 22-20 at the half and forged a 34-all tie after the third quarter buzzer.

Matt Brohard connected on five 3-pointers for the Raiders and finished with 15 points to go along with five assists. Fellow guard Aaron Parsons added 13 more, including a trio of treys, and Drake finished with 10 points. Derek Davis had a team-high 10 rebounds for Roane.

Calhoun’s Andrew Norman sank three 3-pointers and took game scoring honors with 23. Justin Gerwig contributed eight points for the Red Devils.

Roane ripped Calhoun 62-21 in the JV game to improve to 3-1. Colter Taylor scored 23 points, Shane Starcher 11 and Rhett Atkinson and Jimmy Hensley 10 each for the winners.

Previously winless South Harrison took control with a 16-3 first-quarter burst and went on to rip Roane County 53-36 Saturday in an LKC South contest at Lost Creek.

The Hawks (1-6) were led by Davey Wriston’s 20 points, which included four 3-pointers. Trevor Bowers added 11.

The cold-shooting Raiders received 11 points and nine rebounds from Josh Drake. Roane made only eight field goals in the entire game, just two in the second half. A 17-for-27 showing from the charity stripe, including Matt Abbott’s 8-for-10 effort, kept the score respectable.

Roane fell to 3-4 overall and to 2-1 in the LKC South.

The Hawks were also victorious in the junior varsity preliminary. Jimmy Hensley tallied 14 points and Rhett Atkinson 11 for the Raiders (3-2) in the 50-46 defeat.
