The DMACC Bears men's basketball team has already got a great start to the 2009-2010 season. The Bears played Black Hawk East Saturday Nov. 7. They came on the court ready to play, immediately shutting down Black Hawk East attempt to full court press. The Bears dominated the game, beating Black Hawk East 82 to 45.
Sophomore Scott Windom led the team with 18 points. "My role on the team is to be a leader. I feel I need to be an example to my teammates even though it's hard sometimes," said Windom. Brad Burton and Kannon Burrage contributed 14 points a piece to keep the Bears' win over Black Hawk East. The Bears dominated both first and second half of the game scoring 41 points each half. The Bears' consistent defense began to shut down Black Hawk East in the second half, only allowing them to score 15 points.
The Bears shot 56.7 percent in the second half and their defense forced Black Hawk East to only shoot 14.3 percent. In the first half Black Hawk East shot 41.9 percent. The Bears decreased the ability for Black Hawk East to score and continued to execute on offense. The bears played solid defense, which led them to their second win. "I felt we did a solid job on the defensive end of the floor holding them to 45 points for the game and only giving up 15 points in the second half," said Coach BJ McGinn. Everybody is starting to know their role on the team. When you have a team like that, that's a hard team to beat," said Burton.
Coach McGinn believes the team still has room for improvement. "We need to continue to focus on making improvements each day in all areas, and continue to grow together as a basketball team," said Coach McGinn. The Bears will go on the road the weekend of the 13 and 14 to Council Bluffs to compete.
