The State Fair Community College (SFCC) Roadrunners fell to the sixth-ranked Mineral Area College Cardinals, 69-54, in their Region 16 and Missouri Community College Athletic Conference opener on Saturday, Feb. 20.
Mineral Area led 27-9 in the first half. SFCC reduced the deficit to a 34-26 score at halftime. The Cardinals went on another big second half run to extend the lead and claim the victory. We had seven assists and 20 turnovers, you cannot win that way, said Roadrunners Head Basketball Coach Matt Brown. We were 13 of 22 from the free-throw line, only 59 percent as a team and a lot of those were front ends of one and ones. You must be able to make your free throws and take care of the ball against a nationally-ranked team.

Lady Roadrunners Ready For Spring Start Of Spring Season
The State Fair Community College Lady Roadrunners overcame a lot of adversity in 2020.
Not only did the season get moved to spring, thanks to COVID-19 pandemic, but there was a change in personnel on the coaching side.
Assistant Coach LaTice Jones joined the women s basketball coaching staff last fall. Jones is no stranger to the program, as she was named First-Team All-Region 16 as a sophomore in 2009 to finish a standout career as a student-athlete at SFCC. We don t have a lot of experience on the team this year, said Lady Roadrunners Head Coach Kevin Bucher. We are having to learn everything from scratch and it just takes time. It cannot be rushed. You have to have players who are motivated and fast learners.
