Men's Basketball Team Fares Well in Scrimmages
November 5, 2007 - The Silver Lake College Men’s Basketball team hosted two scrimmages this past weekend at the UW-Manitowoc. The first of the two scrimmages was against the Maranatha Baptist Bible College Crusaders. The Crusaders came out on top of the Lakers in a hard fought battle by the score of 56-53. No stats were available for this scrimmage.
The second scrimmage was an intrasquad scrimmage on Saturday. Head Coach Scott Farr coached the Royal team and the Silver team was coached by Assistant Coach Tod Hauf. The Royal team won the contest 71-53. Leading scorers for the Royal team were Willie Howard with 17, Brent Anderson had 16, Robert Gutke and Demetrius Shaw each chipped in 15 and 13 each while Josh Withers grabbed a game high 13 boards for the Royal team.
Leading the scoring for the Silver team was Paul Benson with 17, Toushane Evans added 14 points and led the Silver team with 11 boards and Richard Kelly chipped in with 10 points and 10 boards.
Coach Farr comments:
“I felt we did a nice job against Maranatha on Friday by keeping ourselves in
the contest. We just need to clean a few things up on the offensive end and
sharpen our defensive tenacity.”
“I thought the Royal did a great job on Saturday of taking care of the basketball and setting the tempo offensively and defensively. The Silver team showed me some flashes of brilliance at a couple spots. I now know where our depth will come from for the first few games.”
The Lakers travel to UW-Fox Valley in Menasha, WI on Wednesday night for their first regular season game. Game time is 8 pm. The Lakers will return for their home opener on Saturday, November 10th afternoon at 3 pm when they take on Moody Bible Institute.
This is the first time in almost 30 years that Silver Lake College has fielded a men’s basketball program. The last attempt was in the late 1970’s and the legendary Mickey Crowe was a member of the squad with his father Marty Crowe serving as the head coach.
For more information about the scrimmages or any other games please contact Coach Farr at (920) 686-6155.
