Collinsville finished off the quarter with a 12-7 run which had two threes by #24) Ronnie Midgett. The score after the first quarter was O’Fallon leading 16-14.

O’Fallon answered back with a 8-0 run which included two threes by #21) Anthony and a basket by #11) Alex Orr. O’Fallon had the lead 24-19 then. The two teams finished Collinsville outscoring O’Fallon 8-5 . #22) Austin Knight had four of the eight points for Collinsville. The score at the break was 29-27 in O’Fallon’s favor.
Third Quarter Summary:
The second half started with the two teams trading threes. Then Collinsville got a conventional three point play with a #24) Midgett basket and a free throw to take the lead 33-32 with 5:11 left in the third. O’Fallon answered with a 5-0 run to lead 37-33. Collinsville answered with their own 5-0 run to lead 38-37. They traded baskets to keep the Collinsville one point lead 40-39 after three quarters.
Fourth Quarter Summary:
The fourth quarter started with a not too smart foul on O’Fallon’s #2) Jalen Hodge while he was shooting a three that wasn’t close to going in. #2) Hodge hit all three free throws  to make O’Fallon take the lead 42-40. Hodge wasn’t done yet, he scored four out of the next six for a 9-0 run for O’Fallon and to stretch the lead to eight 48-40 with 5:31 to play. Collinsville got it back to three with a three point play by #24) Ronnie Midgett with 4:13 play. O’Fallon answered with a 9-2 run to get a double digit lead 57-47 with 2:21 left. #2) Hodge had five of the nine points in the run. The two teams traded two baskets apiece in the last 2:21 and Collinsville’s were scored by #21) Anthony. That made the final score 61-51 in O’Fallon’s favor.
Game Summary:
O’Fallon was leading most of the game till the end of the third quarter when they were down one 40-39. Then #2) Jalen Hodge took over in the fourth and had a 12 point quarter. They had three players scored 50 of their 61 points. #2)Hodge 19,#21) Anthony  20 and #3) Ryan Fulton 11) . Collinsville had problems with Hodge and Anthony all night. I really like Hodge, he is a complete ball player.
Collinsville was probably outmanned today but they hung in there till they ran out of gas in the mid fourth quarter. They couldn’t hold onto the ball with 19 turnovers to O’Fallon’s seven. They only had four players score all double figures but only four. They shot 51% from the field but I think they take a lot of bad shots especially #2) Kenrique Brown. They are not going to be near the top of the conference this year.

O’Fallon Il:
#21) Ronnie Anthony  F  JR  6’2″  20 points  FG: 8/14  3pt: 3/5  FT: 1/2   5 Rebounds   3 Steals

Collinsville:
#2) Kenrique Brown  G  SR  6′  14 points  FG: 6/13  3pt: 0/4   FT: 2/2  1 Assist  3 Steals  6 Turnovers, I don’t think he makes good decisions on the point. There isnt a shot he doesn’t like. He is an athlete and a plus to a team that needs scoring.
#24) Ronnie Midgett  G  SR  6′  14 points  FG:  5/10  3pt: 2/6  FT: 2/2  4 Rebounds  He did keep them in the game

Third Quarter Summary:
The third quarter was Troy trying not to let this game get out of hand. They kept in the 20 point range most of the quarter. They traded baskets most of the quarter. Troy’s #5) Brandon Bassham did have a seven point spurt in the quarter. Troy outscored Rock Bridge for the quarter 20-17 but was still had a 21 point deficit at the end of it 58-37.

Rock Bridge had eight different players score in the fourth quarter. They had a 30 point lead once and that was with 10 seconds left 81-51 and that was the final score.
Game Summary:
Rock Bridge is fun to watch they have at least five athletes. They don’t take bad shots and they shot at a high percentage today. #30) Isiaih Mosley had a game high 31 points and it was a quiet 31. He had six threes and I only remember one miss from the arc. They can shoot and they are not afraid to put it up. They are lead by three sophomore starters. I like #22) Ben Cooper. He is a typical point guard. He plays good defense and can pass, He did have a tough shooting night from the arc one for five but you could tell he was a good shooter. They are fun to watch and I will again if I shot too.
Troy Buchanan was out manned today by a good team. They did have some good points. Troy’s #5) Brandan Bassham plays with some intensity. He had 17 points and would have had more if played under control. He had two offensive fouls and could of had more. When he drove and there was contact, you wondered how the official was going to call it because it could be offensive every time. Troy’s #11) Andrew Nett is a shooter he also had 17 points for the game. He was was 4 for 6 from the arc. They will win some games but wont be at the top of the conference.
