Rasmus Bach and the 15th-ranked Fort Lewis College men’s basketball team got off to a 1-1 start on the road last weekend against top-shelf opponents. FLC also gave Division I Colorado State a scare Wednesday before falling 84-75 in an exhibition for the Skyhawks. Now, Fort Lewis is set to host the Skyhawk Classic inside the newly renovated Whalen Gymnasium, which features new bleachers and a fresh paint job. Adams State, Embry-Riddle and Northern New Mexico are in Durango for the Classic, which will begin at 5:30 p.m. Friday when Adams State takes on Northern New Mexico. Then, it’s Fort Lewis taking on Embry-Riddle.
Saturday’s action will begin with Adams State vs. Embry-Riddle at 3:30 p.m., followed by an FLC women’s game at 5:30 p.m. against Norhtern New Mexico. The men will get back on the floor at 7:30 p.m. to close out the Skyhawk Classic against Northern New Mexico. Experienced Skyhawks players such as Will Morse, pictured, and All-American contender Joshua Blaylock will look to guide the new-look FLC team as they build toward the start of the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference season, which is only four games away.
