FORT SILL, Okla. -- The Game of the Week featured two near-.500 teams facing off in intramural basketball Feb. 21 at Rinehart Fitness Center here.

A Battery, 3rd Battalion, 13th Field Artillery, power forward Marcus Allen's take-it-to-the-hole game resulted in frequent fouls by 2nd Battalion, 4th FA defenders as he led his team to a 51-45 win. Allen hit nine of 10 free throws and 15 points overall. Devin Seamon chipped in 13 points, and Patrick Dotson and Rance Beck both hit 3-pointers for the victors.

Frequent turnovers and 10 of 21 free throws made, kept the 2-4th FA squad from the win. Despite some early foul trouble, Jordan Hill still netted 13 points for 2-4th FA, Andre Drow contributed 11 points.

100 BSB vs. B/3-6 ADA

If Jeffrey Acosta's younger brother had visited last week, chances are he would have contributed to the win, too.

Acosta's dozen points topped the support men. James Smith countered with a game-high 16 points for the air defenders.

Y'know how you can always get a good burger at the dining facility?

Same kinda thing is happening on the basketball court. Just seems like the Chefs got quite a team here as they broiled D Battery, 2-6th ADA 57-27. Quinton Shelton and Fernando Taylor combined for 15 points to complement Michael Zumunda's team-high 14 points.
