Coffeyville Community College’s basketball team has run roughshod over pretty much everyone in its path this season.
The Red Ravens, ranked second in NJCAA Division I basketbal poll, showed Allen Community College’s Red Devils why they’re worthy of such a lofty ranking Saturday.
Coffeyville exploded in the second half, out-pointing Allen 55-26, to roll to a 91-59 victory.
The loss drops ACC to 3-8 on the season.
Allen stayed even with Coffeyville through the first half, trailing just 36-33 at the break.
But by game’s end, Coffeyville had things well in hand, with seven players registering between nine and 15 points.
Allen’s Cedrick Rollerson led the Red Devils with 17 points and four rebounds. Ed Wright II came off the bench to score 14, while Freddie Word and Amadou Traore followed with nine and eight points, respectively. Word also had four assists.
Love Bettis scored 15 off the bench to pace Coffeyville, which shot a scorching 64 percent from the field.
THE RED Devil women were plagued by slow starts to both halves in a 61-38 defeat.
Coffeyville led 19-9 after one quarter. Allen stayed within shouting distance until halftime, trailing 31-20, but Coffeyville slammed the door with a 19-7 third quarter run.
Hallie Reed and Iola’s won Madisyn Holloway shared scoring honors with nine points apiece. Chloe Burns had six rebounds. KJ Moore dished out three assists.
The Allen squads will be at Cowley Wednesday, before returning home Saturday to host Butler.
