THE PUTNAM COUNTY BANNER-GRAPHIC

Qome from 13 back for 59-57 win

Cougars rally to drop Eagles again

' It was a barn-burner, alright, the hard-fought game die North Putnam Cougars took from the host South Putnam Eagles Friday night, 59-57. But more aptly described it was a game of spurts. The last spurt belonged to the Cougars, and so they won the game. It was as simple as that. Down 53-50 with 4:58 left to play the Cougars ran off seven unanswered points to tie the game for the tenth time and change the lead for the fifth. Then, up by four points they split a pair of South Putnam buckets with as many free throws (Jim Brothers converting both ends of a one and one) to preserve their 13th victory of the season against only three defeats. It was a good thing for the Cougars that it was Brothers at the line at the crucial: 12 mark, for the only other Cougar to convert better than 40 per cent of his free throws for the night was sitting on the North Putnam bench. Mark Hess had retreated there after popping a 20 footer to tie the game at 53 with 2:49 remaining, for on the ' ensuing inbounds play he dove to the floor and cracked his elbow, coach Jim Sharp taking him out just to take no chances. The bucket had completed a game-high 17 point performance by Hess fashioned on seven field goals and three out of four free throws. But his 75 per cent shooting from the cliarity stripe and Brothers’ eventual 5 for 6 showing stuck out like healthy thumbs on the Cougar charts, which revealed a woeful 13 for 31 from the line. This inability to convert free throws was a prime reason for the end of an earlier Cougar spurt that brought them back into the game in the third quarter.

Yes, brought the Cougars, who had ripped the Eagles apart by 36 points at the holiday tourney, back into the game. The teams had played on fairly even terms in the first quarter, an opening spurt of turnovers (five by the Cougars) giving way to a spurt ob bucket exchanges as the quintets warmed to the task at hand before the near-capacity crowd in the latter stages of the initial stanza. The Eagle scores that helped to tie the game four times came as a result of teamwork the likes of which their fans had not seen all year, as they set each other up for layups with precision passing and picking. The teamwork carried South Putnam to a six point lead at the end of the period before Cougar Jerry Miller threw up one from half court on one side or the other of the buzzer (depending on which side of the floor one was sitting) that hit the board and rammed through the net to set the scoreboard at 16-12. That was the closest the Cougars were to get until the third quarter, as the second period belonged spurtingly to the Eagles. With Mark Cowger firing from outside, Keith Puckett twirling here and there and Wayne Erwin doing about everything the Eagles jumped to a 13 point lead midway through the quarter, tarried for a bit while the Cougars spurted back to within nine, and then ended the half on top, 39-28. Perhaps the most outstanding aspect of the South Putnam game that quarter was the way they went to the offensive boards, as Erwin and

Roachdale hoopster advances

Competing with shooters from 15 Lodges in West Central Indiana, eight year old Tammy McFarland zipped the net 13 times out of 25 attempts to win her division of the Elks National “Hoop Shoot” Contest. Tammy is a student at Roachdale Elementary School and the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Glenn McFarland. The six division winners

Puckett led them there with vigor the team had yet to show this season. For the Cougars, their most outstanding aspect was a negative one, as they finished the half with 2 for 11 free throw shooting. That free throw shooting came into play at the end of the third quarter after the Cougars had thrown their zone press and some hot hands at the Eagles to limit them to two points in the first five minutes of the period while scoring 13 themselves to tie the game. The execution of the 2-2-1 press reached perfection on the second to last bucket of that spurt, as deep man Jim Brothers picked off a long pass forced by pressure up front and hit Rex Call with a pass at midcourt. Call took it to the middle and and hit Hess coming in weakside for an open layup that had the Cougars raising their fists in the air and Eagle coach Tom Goldsberry signalling for a time out. With the press working so effectively the Cougars wanted to go to it whenever they could, but they had to score to have time to set it up. Trouble was they got into the bonus situation at the end of the third quarter and had to go to the free throw line when the Eagles fouled them. In the last minute of the period they missed two one and one situations, and then in the fourth quarter insisted on hitting just the front end of two shot attempts, not allowing time to set up the press with the ball in play after the second. As a result the Cougar spurt ended with the teams tied at 47 when the third stanza ended. The Eagles recovered well after having seen their lead evaporate and built another of

three points before the last Cougar spurt decided things. While the Cougars were busy missing all those free throws the Eagles were wishing they might have had the opportunity to shoot some, as they did noi step to the line once the entire second half. With the Eagles dropping two more field goals than the Cougars (25-23) the difference in the game can be seen to be at the foul line. Nevertheless Goldsberry said that “we had the shots to win, but didn’t put it in the hold”, the Eagle coach referring to more than a four and a half minute drought of scoring at the end of the game when open shots within 15 feefof the bucket were presented to the Eagles on several occasions. “I was pleased with the way they played tonight,” said Goldsberry of his forces. “They did some things better.” And what about the fact that the Cougars have now beaten tlie Eagles twice in a row with sectional time just around the corner? “I’m not worried about it; we’ve got just as good of a chance as they’ve got. They’ve got no advantage; things can go either way.” Meanwhile, after balancing pleasure with the effectiveness of the press with displeasure at the Cougars’ free throw shooting Coach Sharp put it on the line when asked if he had any misgivings abouh the possibility of playing South Putnam again after beating them twice: “They beat us three in a row last year and, frankly, we’re out to do that to them this year.” Well before that opportunity presents itself, however, the Cougars must take on rough WCC opponent Avon Saturday night, the Orioles entering the weekend with only one loss.

N.Carolina, N.C

By KEN RAPPOPORT AP Sports Writer Whoever made up the schedule for Furman’s basketball team didn’t do the Paladins any favors this weekend. They play two of the nation’s Top Twenty teams on successive nights. The Paladins, visiting Charlotte, N.C., were treated rudely by 12th-ranked North Carolina Friday night and play North Carolina State tonight on the heels of that 86-81 loss. “I’m looking forward to playing Furman,” said North Carolina State Coach Norm Sloan. “They are a big, strong team and stayed with North Carolina right down to the wire. “Non-conference games like this give us an opportunity to use players who don’t get a chance to play a lot.” The Paladins may not share Sloan’s viewpoint. They’d no doubt prefer not to play two tough games in succession. Friday night’s game took all they had to give, it seemed. “We played as well as we’re capable of playing, which is my way of saying that Furman is one of the best teams we’ve played this season,” said North

While the Cougars are at home Saturday the now 9-8 Eagles will travel to Edgewood to meet the always rugged Mustangs, yet to be beaten in the conference. The same free throw disadvantage that contributed to their varsity counterparts’ demise brought down the South Putnam reserves in the preliminary game, as they were outshot by the Cougars at the line, 24-10, to fall, 56-52. The Cougars had a three point lead at halftime, trailed by five at the end of the third quarter, and then took the lead again with two and a half minutes to play. From t ' it was back and forth until Jeff Stultz and Steve McGaughey hit a free throw apiece in the last 30 seconds and Ernie O’Hair completed a team-high 16 point performance with two charity tosses to wrap up the Cougar win, their third straight and 10th of the season against six iosses. The Eagles, led by Brad Booe’s 19 points, have dropped four straight, and now stand at 12-5. The Cougar victory avenged their defeat by the Eagles in the championship game of the holiday tourney.

Carolina Coach Dean Smith. “They have an excellent team and Clyde Mayes is great. North Carolina’s victory came in the first game of a doubleheader. North Carolina State whipped Georgia Tech 101-66 in the second game to complete a sweep of outsiders by Atlantic Coast Conference teams. In other games involving ranked teams, No. 2 UCLA stopped Oregon State 67-60; No. 8 Southern Cal nipped No. 9 Oregon 81-60 and No. 20 Penn drubbed Columbia 113-69. Mitch Kupchak, hospitalized briefly earlier in the week with an ailing back, scored 23 points and Walter Davis added 22 to lead North Carolina’s victory. North Carolina, resorting to its four-corner stall offense in the last six minutes, broke a sevengame winning streak by Southern Conference leader Furman. The Paladins,l3-5, led through most of the first half and were on top 37-36 at intermission with 50 per cent shooting. Fessor leonard, the 7-foot--1 Furman center, drew his fourth personal foul in the opening minute of the second half and then sat out for about 10 minutes. Immediately after he left, the Tar Heels shot into a 46-41 lead,

but Craig Lynch went on a 14point tear for Furman to shoot the Paladins ahead 55-48 with 13:30 left. North Carolina regained the lead for good on two Kupchak free throws with eight minutes to play. The four corners produced numerous Furman fouls and North Carolina, 13-5, scored its last 10 points from the free throw line. Furman’s scoring was led by Lynch and Mayes, each with 24 points, and Ronnie Smith with 15. David Thompson’s 31 points in 29 minutes led North Carolina State past Georgia Tech. Thompson, the nation’s leading scorer with a 31.8 average at game time, led the Wolfpack to a 54-35 first-half lead with 14 wonderful minutes of play. In that span, he scored 17 points, hitting seven of 12 shots, led all rebounders with seven and had two assists. When Thompson opened the second half with two layup baskets, the Rambling Wreck was exactly that. “Overall, I’m pleased,” said Sloan. “It’s difficult to keep your concentraton when you get a big lead in a hurry.” UCLA, trailing the entire first half, outscored Oregon State 8-6 after the break and stopped the Beavers to grab first place in
