GRINNELL — On your mark. Get set. Basketball.
Tuesday night featured a match-up between the Central College men's basketball team and Grinnell College, two teams that like to push the pace with Grinnell (4-0) outgunning Central 119-93 for a home victory.
Central (0-3) had a season-high six players in double figures led by freshman forward
Caden Mauck (Lee's Summit, Mo., Blue Springs South HS) after a career-high 16-point performance.
"Caden had a nice game and did a nice job finishing," said coach
Craig Douma.
Sophomore forward
Seth Wood (Branson, Mo.) had 15 points on 6-of-10 shooting.
The Dutch were turned over 31 times which led to 46 Pioneer points. Central is the only team to outrebound Grinnell on the season, winning the battle on the glass 55-43.
Sophomore forward
Jaden Moody (Cambridge, Ballard HS) had a career-high 14 points and collected six rebounds and senior forward
Malik Wildermuth (Normal, Ill., University HS) had 10 points and nine rebounds.
"Grinnell played well tonight and they are a tough match-up for us because of their unique style of play," said Douma. "I thought
Adam Flinn (freshman, Wildwood, Mo., Lafayette, HS) played really well. He gave us 19 minutes and had just one turnover against their pressure."
