  • North nips Tell City in OT

    EVANSVILLE - Jordan Parker scored nine points in overtime as Evansville North defeated Tell City 85-75 in boys basketball Thursday.

    Parker, a 6-foot-2 senior forward, did most of his scoring on offensive rebounding and post-up moves as he went to the basket like a bull going through a china shop.

    He was held to three points the first 25 minutes but scored four points in the fourth quarter on offensive rebounds.

    His two free throws after an offensive rebound gave the Huskies a 64-63 lead with 0:41 left in regulation.

    Tell City came back to force overtime, though.

    TELL CITY - When a basketball team is struggling with its outside shooting, it will often decide to work the ball inside to its center.

    The Marksmen led 16-14 at halftime despite hitting only 7 of 22 shots from the field, as Forest Park had also hit only 7 of 22 from the field.

    The teams were also even in rebounds (15 apiece), turnovers (six each) and free throws (each 0 for 0) at that point.
