Morgan Park capped its four-game stretch with Lance Irvin serving as the team's interim head coach with a 68-47 win over Harlan Thursday in Red-South play.
The win moved the team to 4-0 under Lance Irvin. He will return to his role as an assistant under his brother Nick Irvin, who has been serving a four game suspension for an altercation that followed the Simeon-Morgan Park game on Jan. 19. Nick Irvin will rejoin the team Friday, in time for a showdown against rival Bogan.
Harlan surprised No. 2 Morgan Park (20-2, 7-1 Red-South) in the first half with a strong effort that had the Mustangs trailing 26-24 with 1:45 remaining in the second quarter. But the final 1:45 turned into a nightmare for the Falcons as the Mustangs closed out the quarter with a spectacular 10-0 run brought on by some tenacious defense.
Harlan (8-13, 3-4) only got off one shot in the final 1:45, as Kyle Davis scored twice off two steals. Markee Williams recorded two steals, each of which ended in Josh Cunningham layups. Billy Garrett finished off the run as he picked a player clean and went straight down the lane for a flush as time expired in the quarter with Morgan Park leading 34-26.
The third quarter opened with a three-point play by Davis that triggered a 16-2 run and the rout was on, as the Mustangs built a 50-28 lead with 2:33 remaining in the third quarter. There was liberal substitution from that point on for Morgan Park.
Cunningham led the Mustangs with 21 points and 12 rebounds. Davis had 13 points and eight rebounds and Garrett, despite battling the flu, finished with 12 points. Williams only scored four points but had 10 assists and five steals and was singled out by his coach.
"Markee did what a good point guard is supposed to do," Lance Irvin said. "He made the game easy for everybody by running the offense to perfection. Bill and Josh hit some big shots and we got busy on the defensive end."
Harlan coach Irvin Bryant was disappointed his team couldn't sustain its early momentum.
"We didn't close out the final minutes of the second quarter and played with none of the intensity we played with in the first half," Bryant said.
Perry Willis led the Falcons with 12 points and Andre Hogan had 11.

A Charlottesville-based developer is working with Albemarle County planners to transform a former lumber yard in Crozet into a neighborhood of shops, businesses, and homes.
Developer Milestone Partners is under contract to purchase the Barnes Lumber property from the bank that bought it in foreclosure. The site's future depends on a rezoning process that's underway right now.
The Georgetown West Salon is the place to chat about Crozet's growth. The salon on The Square borders the former Barnes Lumber property. Tracy Knight, a customer at the salon, lives on the other edge of the nearly 20-acre site.
"It's prime real estate. I think if they planned it well they could make something beautiful, but it's all in the planning," Knight said.
Albemarle County planners are working with a new developer to redevelop the property.
"It's actually a very strategically important property," said Wayne Cilimberg, Albemarle County's director of planning.
Milestone Partners says the site would likely include retail, office, and residential, which requires a rezoning so the industrial land can become a part of the downtown Crozet district.
"The developer obviously understands that as well and shares, I think, that understanding of the importance of part of this development really being an extension of The Square," Cilimberg said.
Salon stylist Charlotte Sudol and her client Knight hope the redevelopment keeps its neighbors in mind. "If they're going to make it that much bigger and that much more, parking needs to be the main concern," Sudol said.
"They have to plan sidewalks and roads and parking because it's just all blown up," Knight said.
They paint a picture of a revitalized addition to downtown that maintains its history. "They need to make sure they don't take away from the charm of downtown Crozet," Sudol said.
The developer is also requesting a zoning change to allow residential units on the first floor of buildings. That's not allowed in downtown Crozet now. The Albemarle County Planning Commission will consider that in early November.

Berkshire is Said to Face Start of U.S. Systemic-Risk Scrutiny
Two people with knowledge of the matter say any decision could be months away.
INN Breaking News, January 23, 2014
(Bloomberg) -- Regulators are starting to scrutinize Warren Buffetts Berkshire Hathaway Inc. to determine whether it is important enough to the financial system to require Federal Reserve supervision, according to two people with knowledge of the matter.
The U.S. Financial Stability Oversight Council staffs study of Berkshire doesnt mean the panel is inclined to designate the Omaha, Neb.-based company, said the people, who requested anonymity because the work isnt public. Any decision could be months away, they said. The companys reinsurance operation is the worlds fourth-largest.
The council, led by Treasury Secretary Jacob J. Lew, is evaluating which non-bank financial companies could threaten financial stability if they were to fail. The Fed can then impose stricter capital, leverage and liquidity requirements and demand stress testing for crisis scenarios.
Berkshire is in the business of accepting risk through its reinsurance units, Cliff Gallant, an analyst with Nomura Holdings Inc., said yesterday in a phone interview. Youre taking volatility away from other people and accepting it to your own balance sheet.
Buffett didnt return a message left with an assistant. Treasury spokesman Matt Bevens declined to comment. FSOC rules state that because of the preliminary nature of the councils evaluation, it doesnt disclose the names of companies until they are formally designated systemically important.
Systemically Important
Since its first meeting in October 2010, the council has designated three systemically important non-bank financial firms: New York-based American International Group Inc.; Newark, New Jersey-based Prudential Financial Inc., and General Electric Co.s finance unit. New York-based MetLife Inc., the largest U.S. life insurer, is in the final stage of review.
The FSOC was created by the 2010 Dodd-Frank law to monitor potential risks to the financial system and prevent another crisis. Its voting members include Lew, Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke, and the chairmen of the Securities and Exchange Commission and Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.
The Financial Stability Board, the Basel, Switzerland-based body thats responsible for strengthening global financial rules on behalf of the Group of 20 nations, has said it will make a decision in July on which reinsurers it considers systemically important.
Berkshires reinsurance operation, which includes General Re and National Indemnity Co., had net premiums of $16.1 billion in 2012, according to Standard & Poors. Munich Re is the largest reinsurer, followed by Swiss Re Ltd. and Hannover Re. Reinsurers help insurance companies shoulder some of the biggest risks, such as claims from natural disasters.
Bank Holdings
Some U.S. regulators want Berkshire to be analyzed before the FSB is close to making its decision, according to the people with knowledge of the matter.
Berkshire is also the largest stockholder in Wells Fargo & Co., the biggest U.S. home lender; and American Express Co., the No. 1 credit-card issuer by purchases. Buffett in 2011 injected $5 billion into Bank of America Corp., the second-biggest U.S. lender, after its stock slumped.
Buffett has sought to distinguish his firm from banks that were bailed out in the financial crisis on concern that their collapse would deepen the recession.
When the financial system went into cardiac arrest in September 2008, Berkshire was a supplier of liquidity and capital to the system, not a supplicant, he wrote in a letter to shareholders in 2010.
To strengthen the financial system, Dodd-Frank places bank- holding companies with more than $50 billion in assets, such as Citigroup Inc. and Bank of America, under increased Fed supervision.
Five Criteria
In addition, non-bank financial companies that have $50 billion or more in assets and meet any one of five other criteria, including having $30 billion in credit-default swaps linked to their debt, can be evaluated.
Berkshire had $458.1 billion of assets as of Sept. 30, the company said in a filing with the SEC. It had $31.4 billion in credit-default swaps linked to its debt as of Jan. 17, according to data from the Depository Trust & Clearing Corp.
Berkshire also had $5.8 billion in derivative liabilities as of Sept. 30, more than the $3.5 billion trigger set by the FSOC.
In its quarterly filing to the SEC, Berkshire said that even though Dodd-Frank may adversely affect some of our business activities, it is not currently expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial results or financial condition.
