Philippi, WV --- While it wasn't the prettiest game the Alderson-Broaddus Men's Basketball team has played this season, it was still an effective win, as the Battlers move on to the Quarterfinals of the WVIAC Tournament with a 87-72 win over the Fighting Scots of Ohio Valley.  Jamar Board led the way with a team high 26 points, while Carl Buck added 25 as A-B improve to 23-5 Overall and advance to take on #11 Seed WV Wesleyan on Thursday.  

Terrell Eargle, the WVIAC Player of the Year, helped out with 12 points and 14 rebounds as he recorded his 15th double-double in his final game at the Rex Pyles Arena.   Garrett Putnam chipped in 13 points and 8 rebounds.

Sean Whiting had a game high 27 points for Ohio Valley as their season finished with a record of 6-22. 

Despite the poor showing this season, the Scots were not in the mood to make this game easy by an stretch.  Even though A-B held the lead for the final 29 minutes, Ohio Valley refuse to let this game get out of hand, and they had an answer to keep the game within in stricking distant. 

The Battlers would grab the lead for good at the 9:14 mark on a Putnam Jumper and then stretch it to a seven point margin after back to back buckets by Board.  The Scots answered right back with an 8-5 spurt to cut the deficit to four going into the locker room, 34-30.

After A-B opened the 2nd half with a 5-0 spurt, Ohio Valley answered with a 7-0 run to cut the lead to 39-37 with 16:33 remaining. 

Both teams would trade a pair of buckets before the Battlers reeled off an 14-2 run to widen the lead out to 14 at 58-44 with 11:21 left to go in the contest.

Again, Ohio Valley had a counter for the A-B run as they scored eight straight points to cut the lead to six, however after two Board free throws and layups by Buck and Putnam the lead reached double digits and would stay that way as Alderson-Broaddus cruised to the finish.

A-B shot 43% from the field and 35% from behind the arc for the game.  The WVIAC's top rebounding team held a 47-37 margin on the boards over the visiting Scots.

The foul plaque contest saw a combined 83 free throws attempted, 43 for A-B and 40 for OVU.  The Battlers connected on 32 of those 43 attempts (74.4%) while Ohio Valley made just 22 of 40 (55%).

With the win Alderson-Broaddus will now take on WV Wesleyan Thursday at the Charleston Civic Center.  A-B already owns a pair of 12 point victories over the Bobcats this season.  Tip off thursday will be at 1:00 PM.  Read more on this article...

Glenville, WV --  The A-B Men's Basketball team overcame the scrappy Glenville State Pioneers on the road, 70-57, to improve 20-5 on the season and 16-4 in the WVIAC.  Carl Buck shook off the shooting slump of the rest of his teammates scoring a game high 19 points on 6 of 10 shooting.  Terrell Eargle and Mark Summerfield each added 10 points.

The Pioneers for a second time this season did an excellent job of defending A-B on the perimeter, holding them to below 40% shooting from the field in both contests.  Poor shooting didn't only affect the Battlers, as GSC's top scorers Aaron Dobson and Nick Dent were held to a combined 13 points on just 4 of 19 shooting.  Coach Stephen Dye's squad was paced by Gabe Gibbs' 16 points.  Glenville St. falls to 6-18 Overall and 5-14 in the WVIAC.

The Alderson-Broaddus picked up its 15th consecutive victory Monday night as they knocked off local rival West Virginia Wesleyan by a score of 85-73.

Wesleyan gave all A-B could handle in the opening half as both teams would hold leads. A-B would shoot 40 percent from the floor but Wesleyan would connect on 13-17 free throws in the opening 20 minutes to give Wesleyan a slim halftime lead at 37-36. The normally potent three point shooting attack from the Battlers was not so potent as they connected on only 5-18 from deep.

However the second half fortunately for the Battlers would turn around for the better.  They would outscore the Bobcats 49-36 in the final stanza to secure the Battlers 15th straight victory and setting up a WVIAC conference showdown on Thursday at West Liberty.

The Battlers would use a balanced attack as all five starters reached double digit scoring paced by Jamar Board's 22. A-B's lone senior Terrell Eargle continues to make a case for All-American consideration as he had yet another impressive statline of 19 points, 15 rebounds, six assists, and three steals. Freshman Garret Putman finished with 12, Mark Summerfield netted 11, and Carl Buck tallied 10. Wesleyan would be led in scoring by both Ryan Hoehner and Neven Seravica as they each respectivally had 21 as Wesleyan dropped to 3-15 with the loss and 3-10 in conference.

Thursday's showdown at West Liberty means more than position atop conference standings. Both A-B and West Liberty are ranked in the Atlantic Region. The Hilltoppers are currently sitting in the 2 slot and A-B finds themselves at 6. The game will be at 7:30 and can be heard on 91.3WQAB and also at www.ab.edu/gameday.

Alderson-Broaddus survived a scare from the visiting Pioneers of Glenville State Thursday night as A-B pulled out a close 74-69 victory.
The first half would be a sluggish one for the Battlers as they shot only 13-37 from the field for a less than impressive 35 percent but it was Mark Summerfield the junior guard out of Moatsville,WV that would keep the Battlers in it as he 14 first half points and he connected on 4-6 from deep.  Glenville's defense kept A-B leading scorer Jamar Board silent as he went 2-7 from the field for five points in the opening stanza.
The half would go back and forth as both teams would exchange the lead none getting any higher than seven. It was only appropriate that the score would be tied up at intermission 34-34. Aaron Dobson led the way for the Pioneers as he had 12 points in the first twenty minutes of action.
The second half would be close just like the first but A-B overcame their sluggish night as they stayed in control and answered several runs by Glenville as they maintained a single digit lead. However Glenville was never out of this until the final seconds as A-B had to use clutch free throw shooting down the stretch to seal up this one by a final score of 74-69.
A-B had a balanced attack as four of five starters finished with double digits. Summerfield and Carl Buck led the way as they each tallied 19 points. Board would finish with 13 and Senior Terell Eargle had a double double with 12 points and 12 rebounds. Marcus Catney would have 19 for the Pioneers who dropped to 5-11 overall and 4-7 in conference. Freshman Jonathan Bevins would also get a double double on the evening as he finished with 15 points and 12 boards.
With the victory A-B improves to 14-2 overall and 10-1 in conference play. They will host the Falcons on Saturday evening in what is going to be a critical WVIAC battle. Fairmont comes in with a 9-2 conference record and with a victory A-B could leap frog West Liberty State and West Virginia State for first place in the standings. The game will be available on this website and also available on 91.3 WQAB. Read more on this article...
