FSCC men stumble at E. Okla.

WILBURTON, Okla. -- Fort Scott Community College's men fell to Eastern Oklahoma State here Saturday afternoon, 68-63. The Greyhounds fell to 1-5 on the season and have yet to beat another junior college.

Eastern Oklahoma State (4-0), a Division I school, led 30-27 at the half.

Dametrius Walker led Fort Scott with 23 points while Jeremiah Fleming added 17, hitting on 5 of 10 3-point shots. Marcus Allen came off the bench to score 11 points.

The 'Hounds shot 45 percent from the field, making 24 of 53 field-goal attempts overall. But other than Fleming, FSCC was 0-for-7 from 3-point range.

No statistics for Eastern Oklahoma were available.

The Greyhounds will face another Division I team at Arnold Arena Wednesday night as former division rival Independence will visit. Fort Scott lost to the Pirates, 76-61, at Indy on November 4.

The Jayhawk Conference has split the Division I teams such as Independence (6-0) from the Division II teams like Fort Scott this season, so this is no longer a conference game.

The women will play Independence first Wednesday at 5:30. The men's contest is scheduled to follow at 7:30. Both the men and women will also host the Gladbach Classic Friday and Saturday.
