2005 Season Updates: Saturday, February 26, 2005 - The Feather River College Men's basketball team fell to #2 ranked Delta College 85-75 in Stockton Saturday night in front of 1,100 fans. FRC led by six at the half and led by nine midway through the second half. Delta took advantage of several FRC turnovers and held on to win by ten. Delta entered the game with a 27-1 record and will now play San Francisco City College this Saturday at Stockton. The College of the Siskiyous defeated #4 ranked Diablo Valley College 77-74 and will take on San Jose City this Saturday. Feather River opens gap on Butte in second half Their third straight victory clinched at least a co-championship in the Golden Valley Conference for the Golden Eagles (18-8, 8-1), ranked No. 20 in the state and No. 10 in Northern California. Earl Moore scored a game-high 31 points for Feather River and grabbed 14 rebounds as the Eagles outrebounded the Roadrunners 41-30, including 24-10 in the second half, which included seven on the offensive end and 12 points off of those offensive boards. "It was our loose balls and rebounding," Feather River coach Randy Rick said. "It was our ability to make a couple key stops and then convert on the offense." The Roadrunners (13-12, 3-6) had their two-game winning streak snapped after playing to a 40-40 tie at halftime. Joe Robinson led Butte with 24 points while Corey Loverson added 16, Dennis Berryman scored 13 and Gene Rivera had 12. Feather River's second-half run broke a 44-all tie and put the Eagles up by 11 with 14:36 left in the game. The Roadrunners cut the deficit to five a few times, including on Berryman's 3-pointer that made it 77-72 with 3:25 to play, but Butte scored just two points the rest of the way. "I think ever since they took that 10-point lead, we were just struggling to come back the whole time," Robinson said. "They were going to the hole. We couldn't execute our defense as well as we wanted to, and we just didn't make the stops tonight." Butte's Cheyne De La Garza had assists on three straight possessions late in the first half, with Loverson hitting a 3-pointer and a layup to give the Roadrunners a 40-35 lead. They shot 51.4 percent (18-for-35) from the field in the first half, but only 39.3 percent (11-for-28) after halftime. "They had opportunities and they did a good job breaking us down," Rick said. "They were well-prepared, got the ball and overloaded people in the back and up top, and they were slicing right down the middle of the court." Mario Burns added 15 points for Feather River, and Kiel Graham scored 14, as the Eagles began to penetrate Butte's zone defense in the second half and crash the offensive boards. "I think our inability to stop their penetration and get the miss really hurt us," Butte coach Russ Critchfield said, "because we didn't shoot the ball very well in the second half, and our defense didn't help us get beyond that." FRC SWEEPS REDWOODS AND SHASTA Friday, February 11 and Saturday, February 12, 2005 - The FRC Golden Eagles won two in a row against College of the Redwoods and Shasta College.
