East holds off Dunbar in overtime
ROCKFORD -- East overcame a six-point deficit in overtime and beat Chicago Dunbar 83-77 Friday night for its first win of the young season.

Before another minute passed, however, Ross fouled out of the game, one of six Mightymen to be sent to the sidelines with five fouls.
Dunbar finished the game with only five available players and two of those had four fouls.
Freshman starter Chris Burnell's four-point play cut Dunbar's lead to 70-68 and East eventually went ahead 73-72 on a pair of free throws by Alex Moore with 1:45 to play.

Auburn holds off Larkin rally for second Tip-Off Classic win
ROCKFORD -- Rockford Auburn used a barrage of three-pointers to build a lead against Elgin Larkin and then had just enough defense to overcome poor free-throw shooting as the Knights held on for a 72-65 win.
The Knights hit eight three-pointers in the first half to race out to a 46-35 lead on the third night of the 205 Tip-Off Classic. Auburn pushed the lead to 14 points in the third quarter before the Royals began chipping away.
Larkin, behind 6-6 junior forward Christian Negron, eventually cut the lead to 67-63 but could get no closer. Auburn helped the Royals get back into the game by making just six of 15 free throws in the final quarter.
Trayvon Tyler led Auburn at both ends of the floor. The 6-1 senior guard scored 26 points and was the primary defender on Negron. Negron, who is being recruited by several major Division 1 college basketball programs, ended up with 22 points, but he was never the dominant force.

Parker outlasts East, 64-59
ROCKFORD -- Just when it appeared the tournament's first close game might go into overtime, a technical foul helped Janesville Parker to a 64-59 victory at East Wednesday afternoon.
The E-Rabs used an 11-0 run at the start of the second half to wipe out a 31-21 halftime deficit, but never led by more than two points after that.
Alex Moore's basket with 2:11 to play gave East its last lead at 57-55, but Darin Empereuer's three-pointer gave Parker the lead for good (58-57) with 1:50 to play.
East still had a chance in the last 10 seconds, trailing 60-59 with the ball, but a no-call which resulted in a turnover led to a technical foul on the East bench. Parker cashed four free throws in the final 5.8 seconds to close out the win in the season opener for both teams.
Parker's Carlos Campos led all scorers with 20 points. Empereuer added 17 and Marq Brooks 11 for the Vikings, who next play Elgin Larkin at 3 p.m. Saturday at Auburn. Sophomore Scott Gowan led East with 16 points. Junior Allan Robinson added 12 and freshman Chris Burnell had 11.

Auburn press too much for Farragut, Knights win 68-61
