Head Coach Joel Wooton called it the most complete game of the season.

Doane Junior Varsity came in on a seven-game winning streak, including a win over SCC rival Central Community College (79-68). Southeast was on a three-game winning streak and playing its best basketball of the season.

Altez Davis, Rakeem Hicks and Snyder Cenecharles helped power the Storm to a 20-6 first half lead on their way to a 79-42 win on homecoming night at the Truman Center.

Cenecharles opened the scoring with a fade away free throw line jumper. Davis got a rebound basket, and Hicks came off the bench to take advantage of a mismatch inside and draw fouls. The sophomore transfer from Coffeyville Community College also stepped back to hit a three from the corner.

Southeast led 36-17 at the half, holding Doane to just 25 percent shooting in the first half.

SCC continued the defensive pressure, holding the Tigers scoreless for the first four and a half minutes in the second half.

The Storm did even better on offense, shooting 54.8 percent in the second half and 48.3 for the game.

Tyrell Allen punctuated the win with an exciting alley-oop dunk near the end of the game. However, Allen also received a technical foul for hanging on the rim too long. Doane only made 1-2 of the ensuing free throws, allowing SCC to hold an opponent to its lowest scoring output of the season at 42.

Wooton said that his team “dominated” on both ends of the floor. In addition to superb offense and defense, Southeast out boarded Doane 50-26.

Hicks led all scorers with 19 points and grabbed 10 rebounds for a double/double.

The win brings the Storm’s record to 10-15 on the season. They next travel to Central Community College on Wednesday, Feb. 11, for a conference match-up.
