Turner leads South past Northview 68-60

Steve Fields The Tribune-Star

BRAZIL — Northview tried traps and zones and some man-to-man, but nothing stopped Terre Haute South’s Jeffrey Turner in boys high school basketball late Friday night.

Turner scored 37 points on 11-of-23 shooting from the floor and 13-of-14 accuracy from the free throw line while leading South to a 68-60 win over host Northview. The 6-foot-2 Turner also pulled down six rebounds, stole the ball twice and passed out several assists in the Braves’ eighth win of the season.

Timmy Herrin, with 10 points, was the only other South player to score in double figures.

It was South’s fifth win in the last six games and the fourth straight loss for Northview.

Ethan Whitson led Northview with 25 points on 10-for-13 shooting from the floor. Christian Ellis added 11 points.

South’s trapping defense, led by Logan Steward with six steals, forced Northview into 22 turnovers.

“I felt like we beat ourselves. We turned the ball over and we didn’t do a very good job on [rebounding],” Northview coach Clint Weddle said.

South jumped out to a 9-2 lead in the opening minutes of the contest with Conner Shipley hitting two free throws, Kevaris Gregory scoring a rebound, Logan Steward dropping in a three and Turner netting the first of his 13-first half points.

Northview’s Ellis scored the last three points of the first period, but South took a 15-9 lead into the second quarter.

Northview’s defense and Whitson’s 13 points in the second stanza kept the Knights close. South’s trapping defense forced Northview in eight turnovers in the second quarter and the Braves took a 29-24 halftime lead.

Northview stayed within four points of South most of the third quarter, but over the final 3:15 the Braves’ Turner took over the game. Turner found Steward for an open layup, then scored back-to-back buckets of his won to put the Braves up 40-32.

But Northview’s Craig Peters and Joe Ball hit back-to-back threes to close the third quarter, cutting South’s lead to 43-38. Peters and Ball hit consecutive threes again to open the fourth quarter and bring the Knights within one, 45-44, with seven minutes to play.

Then Turner took over again. First he found Steward for a basket, then Turner netted three points on his own. With the Braves clinging to a two-point cushion, Turner passed to an open Kevaris Gregory for a three then Steward stole ball and pass to Turner for an open three. And with 4:45 to play Turner added another three that put the Braves up 57-46.

Turner was called for his fourth foul and went to the bench with 4:20 left in the contest. He was back on the court in time to hit eight straight free throws over the final 1:01 despite Northview’s efforts to keep the ball away from him.

  • Hughes, News & Views: Terre Haute ‘hacker' accomplishes Mark’s Par Three first

    It’s no secret that Mark’s Par Three is not the most difficult golf course in Vigo County.
    But it’s enjoyable for beginners and golfers of modest skill levels and it doesn’t lack for activity during warm-weather months.
    Open since 1964, it’s had its fair share of players test their skills, probably several better than 43-year-old Brian Brown of Terre Haute.

  • Prettyman getting comfortable as boss

    At first glance, it would be easy to look at first-year Terre Haute Rex manager Ronnie Prettyman and expect him to have a difficult journey during his maiden voyage as a baseball manager.
    Managing in the Prospect League isn’t the easiest job in the world.
    Rosters change constantly, especially early in the season when players are still reporting from their college teams. The travel is arduous — a night game in far-off Quincy, Ill., could be followed by a home game, followed by a game at equally far-off Hannibal, Mo. The players have to acclimate themselves to playing every day after having played a maximum of five games a week at the college level.

  • Metro roundup: ISU’s Gant to go to Africa with Athletes in Action

    “I am extremely honored to be given this opportunity to not only play basketball with and against some great players during this tour, but to also share my Christian faith with those in the Ivory Coast,” Gant commented. “I’m looking forward to growing as a person by delivering aid to those in Africa and by sharing my faith with those we come in contact with. This will also be a great chance to continue to improve on the basketball court just before we start our workouts at Indiana State in the fall.”

    When I covered my first event of Indiana State’s 2012-13 season — ISU’s opening football game at Indiana — I was the first one in the press box at IU’s Memorial Stadium. I’m never the first one in the press box.
    Maybe the prospect of ISU’s season had me so pumped that I decided to get it started close to three hours early? (Or more truthfully, maybe I was over-vigilent about predicted traffic horrors on the Indiana 46 bypass that never came to pass.)
