GOSHEN (Thurs., Feb. 14, 2008) – Joel King set the record for consecutive free throws made and all 11 Couriers managed at least four points as the Couriers beat Portage Christian 75-34 on Valentine’s Day.
With the team trailing 9-8 to the Pacers, Spencer Miller hit a field goal at the horn to put the Couriers up by one at the first stop. The usual starters entered the game in the second quarter and started a 45-10 Courier run over the next two periods.
Ryan Miller continued his hot streak that began in January with 10 points, 12 rebounds and a blocked shot to lead the Couriers (15-3). Caleb Miller and Dustin Yoder also added 10 points.
Adam Reisinger paced the visitors with 21 points.
King set the free-throw record with 32 seconds remaining in the third quarter. Dating back to February 23, 2007, King has drained 25 straight foul shots. Jeremy Yoder held the record previously with 23 in a row from January 17 to February 10, 1995.

Hey do you know if Clinton Christian is planning on joining the IHSAA anytime soon?
I don't foresee Clinton joining the IHSAA in the near future. Schools must have one boys and one girls sport in each of the fall, winter and spring sports seasons. The Couriers have girls volleyball in the fall, boys basketball in the winter and boys golf in the spring. Cross country could be a possibility for the boys in the fall as well as girls basketball in the winter. With only 35-40 students in high school, a girls sport in the spring might be a little taxing on the talent pool and on the fans at this time. The school wants to play more public schools which probably means a move towards the IHSAA in the future but the enrollment needs to climb quite a bit to handle the requirements set by the IHSAA. The new gym helps attract more IHSAA foes, but I do not know of a definite plan to join the association. Thanks for the great question.
