But, after a finding the air to be a little thicker down here in Missouri, we found some difficulty in putting points on the scoreboard. After fighting though the first 20 minutes, we trailed 28-38 at half, after going 0-7 from the 3 point line. We found a little more offense in the 2nd half, but weren't able to get enough shots to fall, as we lost to #15th ranked Cedarville University, 83-59.
Senior Kyle Iverson led the way, scoring our team's first 8 points and finished with 18 points. Jordan Olson had 14 and Jake Holen had 13.
Our team has a long list of accomplishment's this year, and though this season has to end with a loss, our entire program (as well as our college and community) has plenty to be proud of. Winning 23 games, securing a conference championship and earning a berth into the National Tournament are just a few off the highlight's of the year. Look for more posts in the future with a larger in-depth look at the 2007-2008 season...

After traveling to Jamestown to watch the team play this year, I was pleasantly surprised at the athleticism and standout character of the players. After the games, players could be found in the arena greeting friends and family, and I saw more than one player introducing parents and family to their teamates. As a high school coach, I was happy to see a program that holds character in high regard with its players. I look forward to watching the younger players on the team continue the success that was achieved this season. Specifically, watching Evan Savageau shoot the ball, I cannot remember any player I have ever seen with as good form as he displays. The recruits that are being brought in for next season are terrific kids and athletes, but they will have their hands full living up to the great example the seniors of 08 have set. As a Jimmie alum, I look forward to seeing the team succeed and hope to see Mr. Savageau see more shooting opportunities.
