 Craion's 20 Leads Indy to 8th Straight Victory

Independence, KS-   Michael Craion scored 20 points and grabbed 8 rebounds in a 67-51 victory over the visiting Seminole State College Trojans.  The victory pushed the ICC win streak to 8 games and also helped avenge an earlier loss to Seminole during the second game of the season.

    Defense was the name of the game in the contest.  For an eight and a half minute stretch in the first half, ICC held Seminole with out a basket.  ICC was down 21-13 at that point with 8:41 remaining in the first half and went on a 15-4 run to close out things.  ICC led at half-time 28-25. 

    More of the same was said in the second half.  ICC held Seminole State to only one bucket during a 10 1/2 minute stretch and followed Craion's lead offensively in route to a 67-51 victory for the Pirates.

    Craion's 20 points was a career-high and paced ICC.  James Bush was the only other Pirate in double figures with 10 points.  Bush also added 10 rebounds for his third double double of the season.  Antonio Hanson led ICC with 3 assists and 3 steals.

    ICC moves to 9-3 and will now be on Christmas Break and will play host to Johnson County Community College on January 5th at 4 pm in the Jayhawk East Conference opener.
