TV55 is here, St. George's own TV station to get a tape of this evening's game. And we will be airing that one plus last night's game a little bit later in the week on TV55. We are having the entire lineup on both sides being introduced. For Kankakee it really doesn't make a whole bunch of difference who is introduced because Everybody plays well. 10 out of the 14 plays, they go 10 deep and they consistently go 10 deep. Kankakee College, coached by Dennis Lanas Lainas is in his 11th season. Kankakee has a nine game winning streak. The mini Cavaliers doing a good job on the year and they're ready to get underway. A couple of the key players to watch. Allen Eaton has been hot, has two double figure games in this tournament. Same with Leroy Parnel. Double check and check that starting lineup. Parnell, a 62 freshman. Allen Eaton, a 63 freshman, will be jumping center. Also starting will be Jeff Thurman, a 6 foot 3 inch sophomore. And let's pick up the two guards. Andre Bryson, a 6 foot freshman and I believe Mike Murph is the other one. The tap controlled into the hands of Kankakee. Mike Murph, a six foot sophomore, comes up with it. Murph, a young man from Indiana. Dixie with a man to man defense. Dixie wearing the red uniforms at the Ang. It goes to Eaton in deep. It goes to Brighton. His shot up blocked by Bill. Rebound brought down and there is a foul. Let's see who it goes to. It may be on Dixie. It is on Robert Maxwell. Maxwell picks up his first personal foul. First team foul. Kankakee, the Cinderella team in this tournament and they say it was a shooting violation. So to the free throw line goes Andre Bricett. Kankakee not a good free throw. Shooting team that good. 62% has not shot that well from the field. Not bad, but not that well. 49%. Bryson hits the first free throw. Make it one to nothing. Kankakee and Dixie for the first time in two games has trailed. Shot by Bryson. Good. Make it two to nothing and Bryson is hit. The first two free throws. The zone press by Kankakee.

Henry double teamed in backcourt, looks for help. Trying to get the pass to Maxwell. And they call the foul. Reach in on Leroy Parnell. Dixie not looking particularly rattled, but they had a little bit of a tough time getting the pass away that time. Yankakee extremely quick and one of the best defensive teams in this tournament, if not the best. That ranks at least with Dixie as a defensive team. They will go with a 1, 3, 1 zone. Dixie will go with a 3, 2 zone when they have a chance. Or man to man inbounds. Comes to Robert Maxwell and back to Ricky Henry. Still in backcourt. Henry hook pass goes to Dan Bell. Breaks the pressure into forecourt, leaves it for Robert Maxwell. Suddenly, three on two. Maxwell jump shot. No good rebound. Parish baseline jump shot in Fuller. Good Abraham Parrish.

It's a 1010 tie and Kankakee has the basketball out of bounds in backcourt. Jerry Harris I believe is one official.

Amazing matchup excitement in this tournament. A tournament that seems to lack a little of the verve. Talking with some of the veterans, the tournament seems to lack a little of the verve that previous tournaments have had. Although for all of the participants it was something special. But when it got to be a can kick each Dixie matchup in the championship, the fans jumped into this building and filled it to the hills. Midland College, the Midland Texas Chaparrals Havion Pence holding high above his head the fourth place trophy that will go back to Texas Midland. Winning the championship in 1982 began a string of three straight Texas champions. Midland and then San Jacinto twice. Jerry Stone, the coach of Midland College. Let's take a look at some final scoring totals while we have it. Allen Eaton hit 14 points 7 of 11 from the field. Leroy Parnell had nine points. Andre Price eight, Mike Nolan six, Tracy Nicholson four four to Thurman, four to Cedric Bell, four to Benson, two to Foster. Murph did not score for Dixie. Brent Stevenson topped everybody with 15 points. 14 points to Parrish, nine to Shriner, eight to Dan Bell, five to Ricky Henry, four to Brad Wade, two to Robert Maxwell. And that was the score. 60 shooting 52.3% they say from the field, but it didn't look that good. 60 missing a lot of good shots that they normally hit. The Midland team led by Eddie Frazier, who last night when he fouled out of the ball game went along the Dixie bench clapping hands. Frazier led a couple of Midland ballplayers to coach Jerry Stone and congratulating the Dixie team. And now Frazier and the middle and ball players over congratulating Kankakee for a second place finish. The Moberly fast starting a rhythmic clap of the hands ready for the graves to receive their third place trophy. That looks to be Guy Holt down there announcing Moberly Graham, the veteran of this tournament. Moberly, if you go on point total in terms of who has done the best in this tournament, first you begin with four national championships with the Greyhounds. Then you start up adding up second, third, fourth place finishes. Moberly by far and away the most successful school in this National Junior College Athletic association tournament. Coach Dana Altman, one of the good young coaches there to have his picture taken with his team. Moberly finishing third winning against Midland Texas in the semifinals tonight 67 to 58. In the two earlier games in the compilation round those awards presented earlier, sixth place or fifth place went to Allegheny College of Maryland 99 to 65 winner over Highland Park. Highland park finishes sixth. Seventh place went to Kaskaskia, Illinois 70 to 57. Victor over West Arkansas of Arkansas. Once again. Now the picture taking for Moberly College with that big third place trophy. Third place trophy is bigger than most first place trophies in other tournaments. Kaskaskia only the second time an Illinois team has played for the national championship. Lincoln College of Illinois lost to West Ark. In 1951. In 1981, 67 to 50, only the second time an Illinois school has played for the national championship. The Moberly team going over shaking the hands of the Dixie players. Coach Dana Altness leading the way. And now Moberly to move across the floor to the Kankakee Cavaliers. Hod Hummerson introducing the Jim Swigert, who will make the next award to the Region 4 champion, Kankakee, Illinois. And a good group of Illinois fans who have made the trick. Standing ovation by the Dixie team for the Kankakee squad. Standing ovation by the Hutchinson fans. Listen to them. For Kankakee. The Kankakee fans stood immediately. Dixie's Rebel stood next. And then almost in unison, almost like a wave, the rest of the Hutchinson fans and the Dixie fans stood in stark standing ovations. See if we can pick up the announcement. A key game for Kankakee. Only this year has it been voted on to allow Kankakee to award scholarships outside of the county. They will be allowed next year to award three scholarships. And so this is an opportunity time for the Cavaliers to have this sort of performance and to build some interest in Kankakee. And it's brought a community together, a community that has suffered with unemployment. Kankakee getting a well deserved standing ovation as Dixie has edged Kankakee 57 to 55. Rusty Hilt, some Kwame BW down there among the Dixie Rebels. We're about to have the presentation of the championship trophy. Plenty of plenty of pictures being taken of the second place team, Kankakee, and they deserve it. Such a super performance by an outmanned out, physically manned, but a team extremely quick. Playing a perfect game for Kankakee. Defensively, Dixie having to do their best, play their best defensively to come out on front. 57 to 55. Dixie with a 55, 55 tie call. Timeout with just a little more than a minute 30 left in the game. I believe it was a minute 36 at that point. And going for one shot, not necessarily the last shot, but one shot, getting it with just over 30 seconds left in the game on the pass from Stevenson to Parish, who put it up, hung on the rim and fell down through. And Dixie then getting the win as Kankakee forced by the Dixie defense to take a shot that they wouldn't want to take. Here is Theo Heap, president of the njcaa, former president of Mesa Community College in Arizona and director. Let me see if we can pick up Theo Heap as I have for the last 12 years. I would like to thank Guy Holt and the tournament committee. Guy Holt and the American Legion tournament committee. Guy Holt, the chairman of the tournament committee for lo these many years inducted into the Junior College Coaches Basketball hall of Fame. Where his his directorship at this tournament. Presenting this trophy to someone from the West. Neil Robert and the Dixie College Rebels and in unison, the hustles and fans, the Kankakee fans. And needless is save the Dixie fan. Standing ovation for the Dixie College Rebels, Neil Roberts. You can see almost all peace down there. Not much else with his face, faith, a big smile. Holding the trophy high above their heads. The Dixie Rebels national championship. Thanks Ducky, who came out of retirement as the last minute to be the sponsor to be the host for Dixie College. Big smile on his face early in this tournament, he said I came out of a retirement to win a national championship. Had a second place finish with College of Southern Idaho one year. Came out of retirement as a team host to win a national championship. And that he had done. The Dixie Rebel. Jay Clark, holding the trophy along with Brent Wade in front, grins on everybody's face. Dr. Bruce Williams, Tom DeBrusky and Neil Roberts, stage right of the big men, arms around one another. Frank Specky, the team host Abraham Parish has a big left arm around him. Dan Bell holding up the number one sign. Same with Lyndon DeYoung, Jarrett Williams and Josh Burgoyne. There are pictures everywhere, Dixie fans, newspapers, television. Of course TV55 will be televising this championship game and the semifinals next week. So stay tuned on that. And of course a reminder that the homecoming celebration will begin on the South Interchange tomorrow evening sometime around 7 o'. Clock. Dixie should be in town between 7 and 7:30 if all of the plane connections meet and will bring with themselves a national championship player. First place player trophies going to each of the players. The Blue Dragons or the Dragon Dolls, I should say from Hutchinson, Kansas performed at halftime and giving out the individual awards to each of the participants. The final scoring totals by the way, let's take care of a little paperwork. Pee Wee Barber, who who only played in three games for Farum, West Virginia before they were eliminated, ended up as the tournament's leading scorer with 101 points. Abraham Parrish ended up tied for sixth with Allegheny's Darren Moseley with 66 points. Bran Stevenson tied for 20th with Tony Gulley of Casper, the all tournament team about to be introduced. Let's see if we can can pick this up. We will have coach Neil Roberts up a little bit later after the award ceremony. President Alton Wade's behind me and we'll talk to him after the the all tournament team Is announced. Hart Hammerson about to make the announcement of the alternative. Let's see if we can pick them up. Pee Wee Barber, the leading scorer in the tournament. And what an athlete. Pee Wee Barber as an athlete went to the same high school as Ralph Sampson and broke many of Sampson's scoring records. Peewee Barber, the little point guard from Farum, Virginia. Havian Vince, outstanding center from Midland, Texas. Havian Vince from Midland, named to that all tournament team. And as they used to say, what a long drink of water he is. Tall, six, nine and a half and maybe taller. Number three, Car Carr, the number three scorer in the tournament. Heavily recruited from Highland Park, Michigan. A six foot six inch guard. And he put on a show in this tournament. From the team that was number one ranked coming into this tournament, Highland Park. Vernon Carr. We have three members of this all tournament team. Vernon Carr, interesting, Wearing one street shoe, one sneaker. I guess he has another pair just like that at home. Lewis Cook, the big 6 foot 8 inch setter from West Ark, Arkansas, the number 8 finisher in this tournament. Lewis Cook, named to the all tournament team. I believe West Ark is on their way back to Fort Smith, Arkansas right now. Bernard Day, young man from Moberly. Bernard Day, an outstanding ball player, listed preseason as one of the top 30 junior college players in the nation by Blue Ribbon yearbook. And Bernard Day from Moberly had an outstanding tournament. Named to the all tournament team. Allen Eagles who singled left handedly kept Kankakee close when the going got tough. Haggard Eaton hit the key pressure shot for Kankakee. Allen Eaton named to the all tournament team. Danny Johnson, who I believe finished as one of the leading rebounders, did finish as the leading rebounder in the tournament. Danny Johnson from Kaskaskia, Illinois, outstanding big man for Kaskaskia. Danny Johnson, hitting way back in the crowd. Had to find his way out of the crowd, but he did that a lot on the floor to get rebounds and enough to lead this tournament with 38 rebounds. Avery and Parrish from Dixie College, number eight on this all tournament team. An Abraham Parrish who kept the pressure shot at the end. Did not shoot particularly well in this tournament but got rebounds and defensive field. Brent Stevenson from Dixie College, named to the all tournament team. Brent Stevenson. William Stewart, number two scorer in the tournament, 87 points. Carr was the number three scorer. William Stewart from Allegheny. They had to get a ballplayer from Allegheny.

The co captains from Dixie, Abraham Parrish and Bradley Stevenson. Allen Eaton from Kankakee. From third place, Moberly Bernarde. Ray Swager from Erie also named to the all tournament team. Swagger outstanding tournament although Erie was eliminated by Allegheny yesterday. Swagger named to the all tournament team 11 man squad.

He's been wearing it through this warm tournament, doing a little quick brush up on his hair, has a big smile on his face and the ballplayers all tournament team. Abraham Parish standing next to him with a big smile on his face. And there you have the all Tournament team. As Todd Hummerson says, would you settle for a team like that? And indeed they will. They'll have the Sesher Trophy, the Bud Obe Small Player Award. Hod Humilson talking about this will probably be the only time the 1985 NJCAA All Tournament Team and Dixie with Abraham Parrish and Brent Stevenson named in the All Tournament team. Let's see if we can pick up the individual awards. Now the coach of the tournament and there are plenty of good candidates for this Coach of the tournament. Allegheny's coach. Moberly's coach, Jerry Stone did not really have the talent he had previously but still finished fourth. Neil Roberts of Dixie, Denny Lanus of Kankakee.
