CHADRON, Neb. – Despite Chadron State men's basketball getting a game-high 21 points from Isaiah Randolph, a 10-0 run in the final five minutes helped put some distance between the Eagles and No. 19-ranked Black Hills State, who defeated CSC 77-59 on Tuesday evening in the Chicoine Center.

Randolph made four threes and seven total field goals for the Eagles (4-15, 2-9 RMAC), but the Yellow Jackets (16-3, 9-2 RMAC) had four players in double figures.

Behind Randolph, Mack Keighran scored 15 points on 5 of 9 shooting while Jadon Cool chipped in nine. Blessing Adesipe had a game-high nine rebounds plus a block and a steal while Collin Nick had two blocks.

Both teams started slow offensively and heated up in the second half, but Black Hills State was a little bit better in both periods. The visiting Yellow Jackets shot 39 percent from the field in the first half and 52 percent from the floor in the second half to tally 45 percent for the game. Chadron State shot just 29 percent in the first half and improved to 48 percent in the second half, shooting 38 percent from the field overall.

The Eagles were marginally better from three-point range (making 8 of 24 compared to BHSU's 8 of 25) and excelled at the free throw line (making 13 of 15 attempts for 87 percent while BHSU made 15 of 21). Cool, Adesipe, Keighran and Ethan Russell made one three-pointer apiece for CSC in addition to Randolph's four.

Black Hills State outrebounded CSC 38-28, a total that included 10 offensive rebounds for the Yellow Jackets compared to just two for the Eagles. Black Hills State outscored the home team 19-2 in second chance points and also had more points in the paint (36-18) and bench points (32 to 20).

Chadron State led 3-0 after a three-pointer from Randolph on its first possession, but Black Hills State answered by scoring the next seven points and never trailed again. As first-half baskets proved hard to come by across the board, the Yellow Jackets never led by more than six at any point during the first half, but led by double digits for the majority of the final 11 minutes.

Jackson Seale, a 6-foot-10 transfer from Division I Eastern Washington, scored a career-high 16 points along with a team-high seven rebounds and three blocks to lead the Yellow Jackets.

Chadron State will play its fourth game in eight days on Thursday when the Eagles face South Dakota Mines (9-9, 6-4 RMAC) at 7:30 p.m. in Rapid City.

​Chadron State—Isaiah Randolph 21, Mack Keighran 15, Jadon Cool 9, Blessing Adesipe 5, Ethan Russell 3, Zach Smith 2, Luka Djurovic 2, Collin Nick 2. Totals: 19-50 FG (8-24 3PT) 13-15 FT. 59 points, 28 rebounds, 10 assists, 12 turnovers.

Chadron Sharks Make a Splash in South Dakota

CHADRON, Neb. – Chadron State tallied four technical falls, Caleb Chaves earned a ranked win and CSC came within one win of a clean sweep in a dominant 39-3 dual victory over CSU Pueblo on Friday night in the Chicoine Center. 

The Eagles improved to 5-1 overall and 3-0 in the RMAC ahead of a clash with fellow RMAC unbeaten Adams State next Saturday, January 31. CSU Pueblo fell to 4-4 and 0-2 in the RMAC.

Chadron State received bonus points from six wrestlers in Friday's win. Quade Smith earned a pin to start the match at 125 pounds, Aidan Callahan (149 pounds), Brandon Paredes (157), Keegan Gehlhausen (184) and Mason Villwok (197 pounds) all scored five points each with tech-fall wins while Tayten Gillette earned a four-point major decision.

Also victorious during Friday's dual were Hunter Jacobsen (133 pounds), Caleb Chaves (141) and Eli Reese (285). 

The night's highest-profile showdown featured Pueblo's Eddie Bowman (ranked No. 13 by NWCA, No. 14 by Open Mat) against Caleb Chaves (ranked No. 14/17), who was in the top 10 before his loss in last week's dual to New Mexico Highlands while Chaves struggled to get through the match due to injury.

It was a bounce back performance and then some for Chaves. After the two felt each other out for much of the match, Chaves went airborne to wrangle down Bowman for the bout's only takedown with just under 20 seconds left to seal a 4-2 win. 

At the stage, CSC led comfortably 12-0 after a pin from No. 4-ranked Quade Smith and an 8-6 decision win from Hunter Jacobsen. With the ThunderWolves unable to get a win from their only ranked wrestler, Chadron State seized momentum and made scoring points contagious for the rest of the match.

Aidan Callahan earned five points with a 17-2 tech fall win before Brandon Paredes needed just 1:49 to rack up a 15-0 tech win over CSUP's Hunter Richardson. At 165 pounds, Tayten Gillette pushed for a final takedown with 10 seconds left which, combined with the riding time point, put Gillette over the top for a major decision win at 11-3, bringing CSC's dual lead to 26-0.

Pueblo got its only win at 174 pounds, a hard-fought 5-3 decision, before the Eagles resumed the blowouts. Keegan Gehlhausen wrestled at home for the first time all season and showed no signs of rust with a 20-2 tech win before Mason Villwok earned a tech for the second straight RMAC dual, winning 17-1 at 197, and Reese's decision win ended the dual. 

Chadron State's January 31 dual against Adams State is its final home dual of the season. The Eagles are halfway through the six-match RMAC season.

🏀 High School Basketball Scoreboard - 1/23

SALT LAKE CITY – Despite a career night from guard Audrey Quintana, the Chadron State College women's basketball team lost their third consecutive game, falling 82-53 to Westminster in Salt Lake City on Thursday evening. 

The Eagles fell to 1-13, 1-8 RMAC with the loss. Westminster is 4-11 overall and earns its first RMAC win to also improve to 1-8 in conference. 

Quintana scored a season-high 22 points while shooting 6 of 12 from the field, 2 of 5 from three-point range and 8 of 9 from the free-throw line while also leading CSC on the night with three assists and two steals. The scoring performance topped Quintana's previous season high of 16 points against Nebraska-Kearney on December 16. 

Unfortunately, Quintana didn't receive much help. No other Eagle scored more than six points (Kenna Wagner and Bianca Bindzus). Bindzus made 2 of 3 three-point attempts, scoring her first points since December 11, and added a block and a steal in just 12 minutes played.

The Griffins also dominated the rebounding battle (45-28) and had 20 assists compared to CSC's eight. The Eagles also had 24 turnovers, eight more than the home team's 16. 

Chadron State had five different players tie for a team-high three rebounds – Wagner, Bindzus, Amya Winfrey, Teryn Stokes and Alexis Trousdale. 

The Griffins started fast, opening a 10-2 lead four minutes into the game and closed on a 13-2 run over the final four-and-a-half minutes of the opening period. Westminster led 25-8 after one quarter, were up 18 points at halftime and led by 27 after three periods.

Chadron State's best quarter was the second quarter, as the Eagles made 6 of 10 field goal attempts while the Griffins shot just 36.8 percent in the period. Quintana had 9 of CSC's 19 points in the quarter.

Quintana's career night not enough to overcome Griffins fast start Thursday

SALT LAKE CITY – Chadron State built a double-digit lead in the first half and made it stick, leading wire-to-wire and earning a hard-fought 73-67 RMAC victory over Westminster on Thursday evening in Utah.

Isaiah Randolph led a group of five CSC players in double figures with 18 points on 6 of 10 shooting while Blessing Adesipe added 15 points, Zach Smith 13, Jadon Cool 11 and Mack Keighran 10. 

The Eagles also lit up from long range, setting a new season high with 15 made three-pointers and tying a season-best by shooting 42.9 percent (15-35) from the field as a team. CSC previously hit the same percentage by making 9 of 21 attempts against Nebraska-Kearney on December 16. 

Chadron State also stuck with a short rotation – only nine players saw the court and only six played more than 10 minutes. Zach Smith played a season-high 35 minutes while Randolph (33), Adesipe (31) and Cool (31) also topped 30 minutes played. 

Keighran (26 minutes off the bench) and Luka Djuvoric (22 minutes) also played substantial roles. Djurovic and Adesipe tied for the team lead with seven rebounds apiece while Keighran tallied a team-high four assists.

The Eagles shot 45.3 percent from the field in addition to their season-best three-point shooting night and were 66.7 percent (10-15) from the line. The host Griffins shot only 38.3 percent from the field and 27.6 percent from three.

Westminster was unable to shoot well enough to take advantage of a 39-31 rebounding edge. The Griffins had 15 offensive rebounds, but only managed nine second chance points off those opportunities, as the Eagles tenaciously guarded the second shots as effectively as the first.

The Eagles soared out to an 8-0 lead after back-to-back threes from Randolph and a steal with a layup at the other end from Keighran. The visitors led by double digits for the first time when a Zach Smith three made it 22-11 and ran their advantage up to as much as 18 with just over two minutes to play in the first half.

Adesipe, who had four three-pointers on the night, hit a pair midway through the second half as the Eagles still led by 16 points with just under 10 minutes left in the game, but the home team made an effort to come back. 

The Griffins went on a 6-0 run to trim CSC's lead to 11 points, then later used a 10-3 run to pull within four points at 71-67 with 59 seconds left, the smallest margin since it was 3-0, CSC. Westminster missed its final two field goal attempts, both three-pointers, and CSC grabbed both rebounds and had Randolph add two points from the stripe to ice it with one second remaining.

Chadron State is now 4-13 overall and 2-7 in the RMAC. Westminster drops to 7-10 overall and also 2-7 in the RMAC. The Eagles will face Colorado Mesa (10-7, 6-3 RMAC) this Saturday at 3 p.m.

​Chadron State—Isaiah Randolph 18, Blessing Adesipe 15, Zach Smith 13, Jadon Cool 11, Mack Keighran 10, Luka Djurovic 3, Jackson Schauer 3. Totals: 24-53 FG (15-35 3PT) 10-15 FT. 73 points, 31 rebounds, 12 assists, 12 turnovers.

CHADRON, Neb. – The Chadron State College men's basketball team saw a 23-point first-half lead turn into a back-and-forth battle down the stretch, but Adams State came out ahead 92-90 in a fast-paced, physical Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference contest in the Chicoine Center in Chadron.

The Eagles (3-12, 1-6 RMAC) led 37-14 midway in the first half and were still ahead by a dozen — 56-44 — at halftime, but Adams State (10-5, 4-3 RMAC) took the lead with six-and-a-half minutes to play and the lead changed hands four times down the stretch. Chadron State scored a season-high 90 points and never trailed by more than four in the heartbreaking setback. 

Junior point guard Mack Keighran led the Eagles with 30 points and became the first Chadron State player to tally 30 or more in a game this season. He was 7-of-11 from the field, including 5-of-8 from three-point range, and made 11 of 13 free throws.

Twice in the late going, the native of Australia made big plays that helped the Eagles fight to the wire. With 6:15 to play, Keighran rebounded his own miss for a putback layup that tied the score at 77-77. Then, with 1:37 left, he hit a deep 3-pointer that put the Eagles back on top at 90-89. 

Both teams missed their next field goal shot, but Adams State's Dillan Baker drove for a layup with 34 seconds remaining to give the visitors the lead again. After the Eagles missed a layup with 17 seconds still showing and the Grizzlies got the rebound, the visitors' leading scorer, Emilek Jallow, made one of two free throws.  

Sandwiched around a travel call against Adams State, the Eagles got off two hurried field goal shots in the final six seconds that could have won or tied the game, but neither connected.

Other double-figure scorers for Chadron State were senior Isaiah Randolph with 17, redshirt freshman Jackson Schauer with 12 and senior Zach Smith with 11. Schauer's total included a trio a three-pointers, which happened in quick succession early in the game.

Jadon Cool, CSC's leading scorer for the season who had scored at least 18 points in four of the last five games, ran into early foul trouble and sat out more than half the contest while finishing with just seven points. 

The Eagles were 16-of-33 (48.5 percent) from the field in the first half, including 8-of-15 on threes, but were 10-of-34 (29.4 percent) and just 2- of-14 from behind the arc in the second half. CSC's free throw shooting was terrific throughout the game—16-18 in the first half and 12-13 in the last 30 minutes.

Adams State struggled at the free throw line, making just 18 of 31 for 58.1 percent for the game, but the Grizzlies were 31-62 from the field and 12 of 30 from long range—making seven of their treys in the first half and five in the second. Adams State made 56 percent of its field goal attempts as a team in the second half.

Five Grizzlies scored in double digits in the game, led by Jallow, a 6-foot-6 sophomore who finished with 26 points, most of them in the paint where Adams State outscored the Eagles 38 to 20 points.  

CSC freshman Luka Djurovic had 11 rebounds for the Eagles while Blessing Adesipe added nine. 

The Eagles will be at home again Saturday afternoon against New Mexico Highlands (5-13, 3-4 RMAC), which fell to Black Hills State in Spearfish on Thursday night 79-74.  

Adams State—Emilek Jallow 26, Wyatt Helming 17, Dillan Baker 13, Jayce King 12, Jarmell Johnson 11, Jerrick Guidry 8, Ivan Dorn Jr. 3, Jaylen Alexander 2. Totals: 31-62 FG, (12-30 3PT), 18-31 FT, 92 points, 40 rebounds, 19 assists, 14 turnovers.

Chadron State—Mack Keighran 30, Isaiah Randolph 17, Jackson Schauer 13, Zach Smith 11, Jadon Cool 7, Blessin Adesipe 7, Luka Djurovic 5. Totals: 26-67 FG, (10-29 3PT), 28-31 FT, 90 points, 35 rebounds, 10 assists, 11 turnovers.

Mack Attack: CSC guard explodes for 30 but Grizzlies claw back to win in final minute

CHADRON, Neb. – Chadron State led by double digits at halftime, but a talented Adams State team reeled the Eagles back in and took over in the second half to defeat CSC by a 74-64 final score on Thursday evening at the Chicoine Center. 

The Eagles (1-11, 1-6 RMAC) scored 21 points in the first quarter and took their largest lead of the night when Ella Moser hit a three with five seconds remaining in the first half to make it 38-27 Eagles at halftime, but Adams State (12-5, 6-1 RMAC) outscored the hosts 29-11 in the third quarter and took off from there.

McKenzi Petersen starred for the Eagles, shooting 9-for-14 from the field to score a CSC career-high 20 points along with six rebounds. Moser finished with 13 points, including a trio of three-pointers, and added three steals on the defensive end. 

Freshman point guard Kenna Wagner set a career high with five assists and contributed eight points and four rebounds. Evelyn Old Coyote led the team with eight rebounds, doubling her previous season high of four.

The Eagles shot 42.6 percent from the field, 25 percent from three (6-24) and 60 percent from the line (6-10). Chadron State went 9-for-17 from the field (52.9 percent) and 3-for-7 from deep (42.9 percent) in the first quarter.

The Grizzlies improved their field goal percentage in every quarter, shooting just 31.2 percent in the first but upping that to 38.4 percent in the second, 39.1 percent in the third and 41.7 percent in the fourth quarter. Adams State also more than tripled CSC's free-throw attempts, making 21 of 31 foul shots. 

Adams State's Kiiyani Anitielu, who last season set the RMAC single-game scoring record with 52 points against Westminster, led the charge for the Grizzlies with a season-high 30 points, her highest scoring total since that record-breaking game. Sophomore Taejhuan Hill had a 13-point, 12-rebound double-double for ASU.

Chadron State started hot. The Eagles went to Petersen for layups in the paint twice plus a three from Audrey Quintana to take a 7-3 lead just three minutes into the game. Leading 16-15, the Eagles went on a 5-0 run in the final 90 seconds of the first quarter, with an Amya Winfrey layup and Ella Moser three stretching CSC's advantage to 21-15.

Petersen scored seven of CSC's 17 points in quarter number two while Dreanna Jackson added all five of her points for the game. The Eagles held a six-point lead – 32-26 – with 45 seconds remaining in the first half when Petersen converted a layup with a foul and hit the ensuing free throw. After Adams State went 1-for-2 from the line at the other end, Moser drained her third three-pointer of the half off an assist from Alex Ridenour to give CSC a double-digit lead at the break, 38-27.

Unfortunately, that would be the high mark on the night for the Eagles, as the Grizzlies came out with renewed defensive energy and forced Chadron State into 14 turnovers in the third period alone. Adams State converted those 14 third-quarter turnovers into 16 points, outscoring CSC 29-11 overall in the quarter and turning the 11-point deficit into a seven-point lead.

For the game, Chadron State had 24 turnovers while the Grizzlies had just 11. That helped Adams State overcome CSC's rebounding advantage, as the Eagles plucked 48 rebounds compared to ASU's 37.

Chadron State will have another chance to win on its home floor when the Eagles welcome New Mexico Highlands (6-8, 2-5 RMAC) on Saturday at 1 p.m.

Chadron State—McKenzi Petersen 20, Ella Moser 13, Kenna Wagner 8, Audrey Quintana 7, Dreanna Jackson 5, Keziah Toran 4, Amya Winfrey 4, Evelyn Old Coyote 3. Totals: 26-61 FG (6-24 3PT) 6-10 FT. 64 points, 48 rebounds, 13 assists, 24 turnovers.

DENVER – The Chadron State College women's basketball team hit 49 percent of its field goal shots, made 15 of 17 free throws and came up with 11 steals and five blocked shots Saturday afternoon while winning its first game of the season, a 68-53 victory over the Regis Rangers in Denver. 

​The 68 points is the Eagles' season high, 11 more than their previous best. Three players scored in double figures for the first time in the team's 11 games.

​Senior post McKenzi Petersen set the pace with 14 points while juniors Audrey Quintana and Dreanna Jackson each scored 12. Five more Eagles added between three and eight points.

​There were five ties and five lead changes, all in the first half. The Eagles scored the final two field goals, one of them a three-pointer, in the second quarter to take a 28-24 halftime lead.

​The third period was the difference-maker. Chadron State made nine of 14 field goal shots, two of them treys, and meshed all five of their free throw shots to outscore the Rangers 25-15 in the frame. That gave the visitors a 53-39 advantage going into the final quarter. 

​Although the Eagles turned the ball over six times in the fourth, they continued to shoot extra well, making three of four attempts from the field and nine of 10 free throws. Only twice in the last stanza did the Eagles' lead dip below double digits, and both times they were still on top by nine points.
