LATE JUCO BASKETBALL

Marion Military   61

Meridian men   56

   The Meridian Community College Eagles were looking to continue its recent momentum after grabbing a huge road win at Jones County Junior College on Thursday night, but Marion Military Institute had other ideas on Sunday afternoon. Eric Russell drained a 3-point basket with one minute remaining in the game and the Tigers added a pair of free throws down the stretch to down the Eagles at Graham Gymnasium.

   MCC dropped its overall record to 5-12 for the season and return to action tonight at Chattanooga State beginning at 6:30 p.m. The Eagles opened the game by shooting the ball well and took a 17-14 lead with 12:33 left in the first half. Trent Tucker scored 10 of the first 17 points for the Eagles and Prince Williams added an early 3-point basket.

   Tucker led the Eagles with 16 points and Noel had 12 points in the setback for MCC.

   Russell finished the game with 19 points to lead the Tigers.

Neel leaving champion War Eagles for Panthers
    Eric Neel spent three seasons coach at East Central. The Hornets played in three state championship games.
   Neel then coached the past three years at Wayne County, leading the War Eagles to three straight Class 5A fast-pitch state crowns.
   And now, he doesn’t see why the same can’t occur at Quitman. After guiding Wayne County to its third straight championship Saturday, Neel resigned his position in Waynesboro on Thursday to replace Kacie Roberson at Quitman.
