Friday night roundup

Greenfield-Central posts its fourth win in six games with a 52-44 road win at Mt. Vernon.

Cougars take the lead when 6'6 post Tyler Stone scores six points late in the first and midway through the second, and then Josh Mayes took over. The Cougar senior hit four 3s and two big baskets to start the third. He finished the night with 18 points, including 10 in the third quarter when the Cougars took a 6-point halftime lead and pushed it as high as 16. MV cut it to four late, led by Anthony Burnett and C.J. Coleman, but the Cougars -- led by Jordan Conley's 9-of-10 performance from the stripe -- iced the game at the line. G-C played most of the night without starter Derek Conley, who suffered an ankle injury early in the game and did not return.

G-C now 4-6 (3-0 Hoosier Heritage Conference), MV now 2-6 (1-2).

In other games tonight, Eastern Hancock improved to 8-3 with a nice 51-32 victory over Muncie Burris. New Palestine's win streak was snapped on the road at Delta tonight, as the Dragons fell in OT by a 73-69 score. It was the Dragons' third consecutive overtime game.

Next week, we have two games on HancockCountySports.com -- on Friday, we'll be at Pendleton Heights for the New Palestine-PH game. Saturday night, we have girls basketball, as G-C visits NP. Airtime for both games is 7:10 p.m.
