TRENTON, Mo. — Allen Community College’s Randy Crosby continued his torrid play to start the 2023-24 season.
Alas, his season-high 34 points — the second straight game he’s hit a high-water mark for the Red Devils — weren’t enough in a 107-87 loss to North Central Missouri College Saturday.
The defeat drops ACC to 7-7 with two more games in Hot Springs, Ark., Friday and Saturday at the National Park College Classic to wrap up the fall semester play.
North Central led 52-43 at halftime and kept up its blistering pace through the second period.
Allen stayed within shouting distance, hitting 14 3-pointers in the game, but couldn’t keep pace with North Central’s 56% shooting.
David Teele added 17 points and EJ Lewis 13 for Allen. Crosby had a team-high six rebounds, six assists and four steals as well for ACC.
Isaiah Reams and Tyler King shared high-score honors with 30 points apiece for North Central.
