Greer's return sparks ND to win over NMCC

Junior Austin Greer made his season debut after returning from a back injury and scored 20 points to lead the Notre Dame boys basketball team past visiting New Madrid County Central 62-57 Tuesday night.

"He looked pretty good. He gave us some scoring inside," said Notre Dame coach Paul Hale, whose squad has been without the 6-foot-1 Greer and 6-8 Division I recruit Ryan Willen since the start of the season.

Notre Dame (2-2) snapped a two-game streak with the help of a 28-13 scoring edge from the free-throw line.

Notre Dame took 40 free throws in a game that included 51 fouls and no 3-point shots converted.
