Tigers Seal Win at the Line

January 5, 2010 By Leave a Comment

IMG_1205aThe Republic Tigers struggled at the free throw line all night, but Brody Thompson hit six straight free throws down the stretch to seal a 58-48 win over Carthage in their debut at the new arena. Thompson’s clutch shooting from the line helped stave off a Carthage rally that cut Republic’s lead from eight points to one, at 44-43. After that point, Republic outscored Carthage 14-5 down the stretch.

Kevin Stander had another big night for the Tigers, with 20 points, including the first five points of the game. Jonathan Combs added 15 points. Josh Morrow scored 9, Brody Thompson scored six, Ryan Mathis had 5, and Dylan Fletcher had 3 points.

Desmond Buerge led Carthage with 19 points.

Republic’s record improves to 8-2. Carthage falls to 7-6.

The freshmen won 46-39, and the JV won 76-56. That’s six total wins for the Tiger basketball teams in the new gym — three by the boys, and three by the girls Monday night.

Strafford Tops Republic Behind Wilson’s 23

December 28, 2009 By Leave a Comment

IMG_0642Republic held most of Strafford’s offense in check all night. But they couldn’t stop Conner Wilson — especially at several key points in the second half — as Strafford beat the Tigers 52-47 in the 2nd round of the Blue and Gold Tournament. Wilson scored 23 points for the Indians, who advance to the Gold Division semifinals.

Republic was behind 2-0 before the clock even started to run. The Tigers were assessed a technical foul because the numbers from their road uniforms were entered into the official scorebook — even though the Tigers were wearing their home white uniforms. Coach Gary Stanfield took the blame, calling it a “coach’s error.”

The Tigers got 25 points from Kevin Stander, who also had seven steals. His hot shooting in the first half helped Republic erase an early deficit and take a brief lead late in the second quarter. Strafford led 25-24 at halftime.

In the second half, Strafford’s defensive pressure caused more problems for Republic, forcing nine Tiger turnovers. Foul trouble for Republic allowed Strafford to get to the free throw line in the 4th quarter and put the game away. Republic cut the lead to one point with about four minutes left, but never got any closer.

In addition to Stander’s 25 points, Jonathan Combs scored 8 points for the Tigers. Dylan Fletcher scored 6, Josh Morrow had 4, and Brodie Thompson had 2.

Republic Offense Struggles in Loss to Rogers

December 4, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Republic_vs_RogersRepublic scored just six points in the 1st quarter, and never got their offense on track, as they suffered a 46-35 loss to Rogers, Ark.

Rogers used its height advantage and physical defense to stifle Republic offensively.  The Mountaineers focused their defensive efforts on stopping the Tigers’ leading scorer, Kevin Stander — and Republic couldn’t find a consistent answer in the first half.  When Josh Anderson banked in a 30-footer at the buzzer, Rogers took a 26-15 lead into the locker room at halftime.

For a brief stretch of the 3rd quarter, Republic solved the Mountaineer defense.  Stander hit three quick 3-pointers, and at the end of the third period, Republic had cut the lead to six, 32-26.

But Rogers answered by scoring the first five points of the fourth quarter, and never looked back.  Republic had the ball, down by 7, with just under a minute left, but never got any closer.

The Mountaineers were led by Josh Anderson, with 13 points. Tanner Kaza added 12, and Wyatt Hively had 7.

Republic’s leading scorer, Kevin Stander, had 12 points.  Nick Yocum scored 7 points.  Josh Morrow had 5 points, and Dylan Fletcher and Nick Dibbens had 4 apiece.

Republic falls to 1-1. They play Rogersville Saturday at 1:30 p.m. in the 3rd place game of the Republic Invitational.

Rogers is 4-0. They meet Nixa in the championship game at 3 p.m.
