Macomb falls short of upset bit vs. Monmouth-Roseville
Macomb High School's Maclean Johnson got a good look. Then Reid Fulkerson had a shot. The Macomb High School boys basketball team had not one, but two chances to tie its game with Monmouth-Roseville in the closing seconds, but both shots fell short and the Monmouth-Roseville Titans held on for a 53-50 win to stay undefeated at 15-0.
The frantic 12 seconds of Macomb's final possession topped off a tightly-fought game between West Central Conference rivals with the host Titans (15-0, 4-0) escaping with a three-point win without their star point guard Martel Hunter, who missed the game due to illness.
"Macomb played a heck of a game tonight," Monmouth-Roseville coach Chuck Grant said. "They came in a did everything they could to win a game. They had a chance to tie the game, and came up just short. When your 10-5 you don't get those rolls on some of the shots we made. We've been there. When your 15-0, things like that seem to roll in your direction."

On first down, Tom Brady completed a short pass to a diving Gronkowski at midfield, and the Patriots tight end popped up and darted downfield. Safeties Reed Doughty and DeJon Gomes tried and failed to wrestle the 265-pound standout to the ground.
Impact: McCoy scored two short-yardage touchdowns in the game, but was limited to 38 yards on 27 carries (a 1.4 average). McCoy also caught three passes for 33 yards, but most of it came on the only significant big play he made.
