COWAN, Ind. — Imagine being a coach and preparing your team to stop the player who is averaging just under 21 points per game, the one who scored 31 the night before. And your team does stop him – well, sort of – as he takes just one shot the entire game.

But an unheralded sophomore and another virtually unknown freshman combine for 12 3-pointers, and you lose.

Cowan coach Lee Ingles smiled when asked about that very scenario, and the way Alexandria coach Dean Moorhead handled what must've been a frustrating game Saturday night, a 59-53 Blackhawks win.
