EDWARDSVILLE – Centralia Christ Our Rock Lutheran had a hot hand from the outside on Monday night in Southwestern’s boys basketball opener.

COR connected on nine three-pointers in a 70-55 win over Southwestern in the opening round of the 38th Metro-East Lutheran Turkey Tip-Off Classic Monday night at Hooks Gymnasium.

The Piasa Birds had got 17 points from Carter Moore and 12  from E.J. Kahl, but couldn’t overcome the Silver Stallions’ hot shooting. 

“You gotta play your first game, and that’s what we just did,” said Southwestern coach Jason Darr. “We’ve got a lot of inexperienced players; we’ve probably got one starter that was back, and E.J. handled the ball pretty well. To be honest, I think you’ve really got to hand it to them; they really shot the ball well.” 

The Stallions will play Odin, a winner over Lebanon, in the quarterfinals Tuesday evening at 8:30 p.m., while the Birds will play the Greyhounds Wednesday evening in the consolation quarterfinals in the auxiliary gym at 5 p.m.
