3/3/2010 — The Kahoks moved on to the IHSA 4A Alton Regional Championship with a thrilling 49 to 43 overtime victory over fellow Southwestern Conference foe the Redbirds of Alton on Wednesday night. Alton jumped on the Kahoks to start the game 6 to 2, but then a 10 to 0 run to finish the quarter gave the Kahoks a lead they would hold going into halftime. Hot shooting from the 3-point line was key in the first half with Austin Ash busting loose for two of those baskets. The Kahoks took a 23 to 12 lead into the locker room at halftime as they had the previous two years facing Alton in the Regional Semi-Final game.
In the third quarter, the Redbirds turned up the defensive pressure and forced seven turnovers in the quarter. Things started to look real familiar to Kahok defeats of the past two years to the Redbirds. The Redbirds began the quarter on a 10 to 0 run to get right back in the game. The Kahoks struggled to score in the third quarter and had trouble getting second leading scorer, Robbie Fernandez, the ball all night.
In the final frame, things remained close with Alton even taking a lead. Deonta Smith scored a big 3-point play with just over a minute left in regulation to tie the game. Alton would hold the ball for the last shot and LaVaughn McDouglar's open 3-pointer was an air ball sending the game into overtime. In overtime a huge 3-point bucket from point guard Tre Lewis gave the Kahoks the lead for good and the Purple and White made eight of eight free throws in the final 90 seconds to seal the win. Free throw shooting was key to the win as the Kahoks hit 13 of 15 on the night.
Scoring for the Kahoks: Daryn Foster 14 , Robbie Fernandez 4, Austin Ash 11, Tre Lewis 5, Jaris Wellmaker 3, Deonta Smith 12 points.
Kahoks will be back in action on Friday night at Alton in the Regional Championship game vs. the Edwardsville Tigers. Tip-off set for 7:30 pm. The win moved the Kahok record to 20 and 9 on the year.

The Kahoks busted out to a quick 8 to 0 lead to take command of the game against an all senior lineup for Belleville West. The Maroons righted the ship with an outstanding second quarter by outscoring the Kahoks 18 to 5 to take a 24 to 18 lead in at half.
In the third quarter, that was back and forth at first, the Kahoks turned things around behind Daryn Foster’s nine third quarter points to give the Kahoks a 36 to 31 lead heading into the final frame. Seven Maroon turnovers was their downfall in the quarter.
In the fourth quarter, the Kahoks kept their lead despite some poor free throw shooting once again down the stretch to get the big road win. Five 3-point baskets by the Maroons in the quarter kept them within striking distance.
Scoring for the Kahoks: Robbie Fernandez 20, Daryn Foster 17, Deonta Smith 11, Jaris Wellmaker 5, Austin Ash 4 and Tre Lewis 4.

2/23/2010 — The Kahoks finished their home portion of the 2009-2010 season with a
48 to 44 victory over the Lancers of Belleville East. In a strange first
quarter, which saw the Lancers hold the ball for over 4 minutes of the
quarter, the Kahoks actually trailed 7 to 5 at the end of the period.
The Lancers held the lead at the time and the Kahoks stayed back and did
not come out and guard them tight even though they trailed 6 to 3 at the
time. Belleville East held the ball and when they finally started to
attack on offense they actually had a turnover. In the 2nd quarter
Austin Ash continued his fine outside shooting by knocking down three
3-pointt buckets in the quarter and the Kahoks took a slim 18 to 17 lead into
the locker room at halftime.
In the 3rd quarter the Kahoks were actually outscored 14 to 13 as both
teams headed into the final period tied at 31. Robbie Fernandez had five
points in the quarter on his way to 13 points on the night. Both teams
had their best offensive quarters in the fourth on the night with the
Kahoks though coming out on top. Subpar free throw shooting once again
by the Kahoks kept things close as they missed the front end of two
bonus free throws. Tre Lewis finally connected on two free throws and a
Robbie Fernandez layup finally iced the game. With the win the Kahoks
are now 18 and 9 on the year and 7 and 6 in the Southwestern
Conference.
Scoring for the Kahoks: Austin Ash 16, Rob Fernandez 13, Tre Lewis 8,
Daryn Foster 6, Deonta Smith 5.
The Kahok JV team also won tonight 54-43 behind Connor Judge’s 12
points and Jason Kusnerick’s 11 points.
The Kahoks will be back in action for their final regular season game
Friday night as they go on the road to take on the streaking Maroons of
Belleville West.
