BLUEFIELD COLLEGE2012-13 Men’s Basketball

STORY LINESThe Rams entered the season as the last place team as se-lected by the Mid-South Conference Coaches Preseason poll while the Tigers entered the year as the top team in the MSC and the third-ranked NAIA Division I squad.

Bluefi eld College is led by a pair of 20-plus point scorers in senior center Byron Carpenter and junior guard Kearsten Marion. Carpenter a 6-foot-7 Virginia Beach, Va., native was last year’s Appalachian Athletic Conference Player of the Year and has picked up where he left off with back-to-back strong performances. He recorded a double-double against Virginia University of Lynchburg with 24 points and 13 rebounds before scoring 23 points to go along with 9 rebounds in the Rams win over cross-town rivial Bluefi eld State. Marion a Houston, Texas, opened the season with a 25 point perfor-mance against VUL before pouring in 27 in the Bluefi eld State victory as he is averaging a career best 26 points per game. Last year the 5-foot-8 guard scored 16.7 points per game in 35 games but scored a career-high 36 points in the Rams 83-76 win over Virginia Intermont. Sophomores Andrew Wilson and Deante Hallums have scored double fi gures this season but average 9.5 and 7.0 points per game respectively. The 6-foot-5 Hallums ranks 9th in NAIA in offensive rebounds per game (4.0) and 43rd in Assist/Turnover Ration (3.0) while 5-foot-7 Wilson collects 4 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game.

The third ranked Tigers are led by three-time NAIA All-Amer-ican Vic Moses but feature six double-digit scorers including Moses (17.25), Monty Wilson (13.75), Mychal Parker (13.0), Deondre McWhorter (11.75), Garel Craig (11.25), and Allen Thomas (10.75). McWhorter a 6-foot-8 forward pulled down a season-high 14 rebounds and leads the team in rebounds per game (8.0) but 6-foot-9 Marc Montavius matched Mc-Whorter’s high of 14 and averages 7.25 per game. Hacken-sack, N.J., native Garel Craig ranks second in the nation in assists per game (9.75) but also turns the ball over an aver-age of six times a game including a 11 in 40 minutes against Miami-Middletown.
