Jets seek revenge against Cowley

Anonymous Enid News and Eagle The Enid News and Eagle Sat Dec 08, 2012, 12:18 AM CST

ENID, Okla. — NOC Enid’s mission will be two-fold today when the Lady Jets and Jets visit Cowley County (Kan.) Community College for a 5 p.m. basketball doubleheader.

The Lady Jets (9-5) and the Jets (10-4) are seeking revenge (women 58-50 and men 84-74) for a doubleheader loss at the Mabee Center Nov. 8.

Both teams, too, want to enter the Christmas holidays on a winning note.

NOC Enid’s women have won four straight. Cowley was 9-1 with nine straight wins going into a game with NOC Tonkawa Thursday.

“Cowley will be a good test for us,’’ said Lady Jets coach Scott Morris. “They beat us here, but we’re playing a lot better than we were then. I’m sure they are, too.

“We just want to go up there and play well going into the Christmas break. We want to get some balance offensively, and find our offensive identity. We have a great chance to win if we can do that.’’

Marisha Wallace leads the Lady Jets’ attack, averaging 23.4 points per game. She was the lone Lady Jet in double figures in NOC Enid’s first meeting with Cowley, scoring 31 points.

Cowley’s men were 5-5 going into the NOC Tonkawa game Thursday. Jets coach Greg Shamburg expects the Cowboys to be “tough and physical.’’

“It’s not a conference game,’’ Shamburg said. “If we win, we win. If we lose, we lose. We’re not worried about it too much. We just want to get ready for January.’’

Connor Brooks, who had a career-high 30 points in NOC Enid’s 77-69 win over Seminole Thursday, leads the Jets attack, averaging 13.6 points per game. Dalen Qualls and Jeremy Espinoza had 15 points to lead NOC Enid in scoring against Cowley

Lunt transferring to Illinois
Former Oklahoma State starting quarterback Wes Lunt is transferring to Illinois, returning to his home state after giving the Illini little consideration out of high school.
Lunt is from Rochester, Ill., and started five games last season as a freshman for the Cowboys, but was sidelined by an injury. He was the first true freshman to open the season as the starting quarterback at Oklahoma State since at least 1950.
The highly regarded Lunt will have to sit out this fall under NCAA transfer rules, but when he’s available in 2014 could be an instant upgrade for a struggling Illinois program and coach Tim Beckman, who is headed into his second season in Champaign. Beckman is a former OSU assistant coach.

Spurs take 3-2 lead in series
Manu Ginobili had 24 points and 10 assists in a surprise start to spark the San Antonio Spurs to a 114-104 victory over the Miami Heat in Game 5 of the NBA Finals Sunday night, pushing the Spurs one victory away from their fifth championship.
Danny Green scored 24 points and broke Ray Allen’s finals record for 3s in a series with 25. Tony Parker had 26 points for San Antonio.
LeBron James scored 25 points on 8-for-22 shooting for the Heat and Dwyane Wade had 25 points and 10 assists. But the Heat missed 21 of their first 29 shots to fall behind by 17 points in the second quarter of another uninspired performance.
Game 6 of the best-of-seven series is Tuesday night in Miami.

Rose ends English drought at Open
A steady hand gave Justin Rose the shiny U.S. Open Trophy. A wild ride gave Phil Mickelson yet another silver medal.
Rose captured his first major championship on Sunday with remarkable calm and three pure shots on the punishing closing holes at Merion. A par on the 18th hole gave him an even-par 70, and that was good enough to become the first Englishman in 43 years to win America’s national championship.
Rose hit 5-iron to the first cut of rough, pin-high on the 17th for an easy par. He smashed the most important tee shot of his career down the middle on the final hole, about 15 feet short of the famous Ben Hogan plaque. And his 4-iron rolled near the pin and settled against the collar of the green.
