Conklin lifts No. 1 North over Churchill.Byline: Adam Jude The Register-Guard P r e p b a s k e t b a l l Brian Conklin did it all by himself in the first half. He shared the ball - and the spotlight - in the second half for top-ranked North Eugene. Conklin scored 12 of his game-high 18 points in the first half, then found open teammates late to lift the Highlanders to a 52-42 victory over No. 5 Churchill in their Midwestern League boys basketball opener before a rowdy gathering at Churchill on Thursday night. "This is definitely big. It's good to get this one out of the way," said Conklin, a 6-foot-8 junior wing. North Eugene (10-0, 1-0 league) won at Churchill for the first time in 11 years without senior wing Andrew Hookland, who has a small fracture in his left wrist. He will likely miss at least two weeks, coach Bill Wagner said. Sophomore Joe Kammerer, a 6-9 post, filled in and had eight points and five rebounds for the Highlanders. "He played a tremendous game," Wagner said. North point guard Markus Baker added 11 points and six assists, and A.J. Vanderhoff had 10 points, including three three-pointers in the third quarter. Blake Harrison had 15 points to lead Churchill (7-3, 0-1). As usual, Conklin led the way, using a variety of moves inside to help North to a 20-16 halftime advantage. "I've been coming out weak the last couple games," Conklin said. "Hookland told me I need to step up and get going, so I did just that and got it started." He helped everyone else get going in the second half. Vanderhoff opened the period with a three-pointer, and after Churchill cut the deficit to 23-22, he sank another three. Vanderhoff then capped a 13-2 run with his third three of the quarter, giving the Highlanders a 35-24 lead. Conklin broke through a double team and assisted Drew Laird laird n.

"When I get going like that in the first half, it opens it up for the guys outside," Conklin said. "They're doing a great job knocking those shots down. Everyone was stepping up." Conklin also had the defensive assignment on Churchill senior Andrew Schumacher, a first-team all-league forward last season. Schumacher finished with seven points. "Obviously Schumacher is a heck heck interj. Used as a mild oath. n. Slang Used as an intensive: had a heck of a lot of money; was crowded as heck. [Alteration of hell. of a player," Wagner said. "That's a fun matchup. "That's what people like to watch - two great players going after each other." Churchill hit three threes in the final 1:26 to get within seven, but Baker was 6-for-8 from the free-throw line free-throw line n.

"Obviously we know being picked No. 1, people are going to try knock us off," Wagner said. "But we don't worry about about the stigma stigma: see pistil. Stigma mark of Cain God’s mark on Cain, a sign of his shame for fratricide. [O. T.: Genesis 4:15] scarlet letter of being No. 1. We worry about what we can control, and not stuff other people decide.
