Home » Boys' Basketball NewsCrete Monee Wins The Southland Athletic Conference Championship!!!February 26, 2011 By Wyideopen Video Productions of Wyideopen SportsBY DALE BOWMAN -- FOR SUN-TIMES MEDIA Behind Greg Mays' 14-point first half, No. 12 Crete-Monee clinched the Southland Conference title with a 58-39 victory over Bloom Friday night in Chicago Heights. The 6-9 senior paced the Warriors (21-3, 9-1) to a 26-19 halftime lead. ``It was just instinct that took over,'' said Mays, who finished with 16 points, seven rebounds and three blocks. ``Our last few weeks, he has been phenomenal,'' Crete coach Matt Ryndak said. ``He has been active. He is finally getting back to form after three months without contact.'' The Warriors stretched the lead to double digits, 33-21, on a three-pointer by Jamee Crockett (13 points). ``We came out in the third quarter and turned it up,'' Ryndak said. ``We rebounded the ball, which let us run a little bit.'' ``The last seven or eight games, we have gotten behind, then have to battle back,'' Bloom coach Jasper Williams said. And the Trojans (15-9, 7-3) did, cutting the lead to 35-33 on a jumper by Johnny Griffin. But then the Warriors held the Trojans without a field goal fo  r the next eight minutes and pulled away.``We kept our composure,'' Mays said. And it helped that junior Michael Orris hit a three-pointer and two free throws as the Warriors built their lead back to 40-33 at the end of the third quarter. ``Jamee and Orris were the guys I challenged at the half,'' Ryndak said. Crete-Monee botched three dunks on the night, two by Crockett and one by Mays. Jeremy Roberson led Bloom with 12 points, and Dejahown Freeman added seven. ``The last eight or nine games, we haven't been playing Bloom basketball,'' Williams said.
