'Hound men fall to Allen County (02/08/10)
It was already tough for Fort Scott Community College's men, who have been playing with just seven or eight men for about a month now. But as the Region VI Tournament approaches, it could get tougher. Saturday's 70-54 loss to Allen County at Arnold Arena was the Greyhounds' 24th game of the season. Last year in high school, this year's freshmen would be at the end of the season if their teams made their state's playoffs. In college, that means there are still six games to go before the playoffs...

Fort Scott Community College head women's basketball coach Diana Couch didn't join her team in the locker room at halftime of Saturday afternoon's game against Kansas City Kansas at Arnold Arena.
