SCC splits weekend road games

SALINA, Kan. - Over the weekend, Southeast Community College-Beatrice's Mens Storm split two Kansas road games.

On Sunday, Brown Mackie downed Southeast, 82-52, and on Saturday, Southeast hung on to stop Hesston College, 90-87.

Southeast coach Joel Wooton said the Storm played two tough games over the weekend.

“It is tough to play two back-to-back tough games,” Wooton said, “especially this time of the year when we're already banged up.”

Wooton said Southeast played very well in the first half against a physical Brown Mackie.

“We probably played the best first half we've played all year in a very physical game,” Wooton said.

Southeast outscored Brown Mackie in the first half, 32-30.

Wooton said the game got more physical in the second half, and the Storm suffered shooting woes.

“We ran out of gas in the second half as the game became even more physical,” he said.

“We just couldn't hit a shot, including going 9-for-22 from the free throw line in the second half,” Wooton said.

In the second half, Brown Mackie upended Southeast, 52-20.
