DePauw is still in search of first win

BLOOMINGTON, 111.- The difference m Illinois Wesleyan's 73-57 win over DePauw Wednesday night in Bloomington, 111., boiled down to three pivotal plays and a chilling fact. The first pivotal play occurred near the end of the first half, with the Tigers clinging to a 31-30 lead and in possession of the ball, running down time on the clock for the half’s final shot. Point-guard Ted Rutan, running the offense had the ball stolen, with an apparent foul going unnoticed which would’ve given DPU two free shots IWU missed a field goal attempt on its end of the court, and Rutan missed a lay-in which would also have given the Tigers a three-point halftime lead. •THOSE PLAYS WERE pivotal.” rookie coach Mike Steele said, "in that if we go in up three, then they open the second halt with a ieore and they're still down one. and we’re more patient on offense. The third key play was with about 13:30 left in the game and the Titans leading 40-39. On a fastbreak opportunity, Tiger Dave Hathaway got the ball too far under the basket and was called for traveling trying to get a shot off. Wesleyan proceeded to reel off six straight points, and when Greg Notestine hit two straight buckets to bring the Tigers back to within 46-43,

Clay City at Cloverdale only home game in county on weekend

By STEVE FIELDS Banner-Graphic Sports Editor With the first game jitters and Putnam County Classic already part of the 1981-82 high school basketball season history, three county schools will venture into the deeper, treacherous waters of their schedules this weekend. PUTNAM COUNTY Classic champion Cloverdale (4-0) plays the only home contest, hosting Clay City (2-2) Friday night before traveling to Avon (1-2) Saturday. South Putnam (1-2) goes on the road twice, opening WCC play at Monrovia (1-1) before going to Danville (1-1). Greencastle opens conference play Friday night at Tri-West (2-0) and then goes to Terre Haute North (2-0). North Putnam's coaches have a week to scout everyone as the Cougars do not play. CLAY CITY IS ALREADY better off than it was last year. After an 0-24 season the Eels opened with back-to-back homecourt victories over Rosedale (-<3-41) and Worthington (63-56), but lost the last two games at Owen Valley and to visiting Dugger-Union (77-69). Cloverdale might see coach Ron Timberman use his tallest

Price and Edwards honorable mention

Royals lead Class A All-State team

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Hamilton Southeastern quarterback Ron Moyer, who passed for more than 3,200 yards and an amazing 41 touchdowns this past season, and teammates Doug Stis and Kevin DeTrude, head The Associated Press Class A All-State football team for 1981. The trio led Southeastern to an unbeaten season and its first playoff championship and were among five Royals’ players named to the AP All-State first team. Moyer, a 6-foot-3, 205-pound senior, passed for 3,248 yards breaking the Hamilton County single-season record by former Purdue All-American Mark Herrmann at Carmel and his 41 TD passes was one short of the national high school record

Mustangs just too quick for Cougars

ELLETTSVILLE- Ruthie Pickel snapped out of a shooting slump with a 23-point performance Tuesday night, but Edgewood got down the court too quick for the Cougars, as the Mustangs defeated the Cougars 60-37 in a West Central Conference high school girls basketball game.

Tri-West defeats Cloverdale girls

CLOVERDALE- “We played one half of good basketball," coach Greg Hammond said after the Cloverdale High School girls basketball team dropped a 55-11 West Central Conference game toTri-West. Cloverdale led 15-14 at the fir

the Titans reeled off another six-point string for a nine-point lead. DPU still had one comeback left. Down 56-46, Steele sent in supersub Tom Kmak, who hit two straight jumpers within a minute to make it 56-50 with 5:44 to play. BUT GREG YESS, the quiet star of the host squad, camped under the IWU basket when the Tigers came out pressing, and ended up with a quick threepoint play and a lay-in to give the hosts a 61-50 lead with 5:10 left and effectively lock up the game. “We had no team fouls at that time,” Steele noted, "so we weren’t in that bad of shape. I told the guys to take chances on the press, but I guess I didn't make myself clear - I meant the guys up front. What happened was Hathaway dove at midcourt, which left them with a two-on-one. They got three easy baskets on our press like that.” The chilling fact was the torrid shooting of the Titans in the second half. The hosts canned 19 of 28 shots for 69.8 percent - most of them from outside 15 feet. "OUR DEFENSE HAD good stretches," Steele said, “but it’s really disappointing when you work hard for 12-15 seconds and someone shoots from where you want them to and they make

set 11 years ago by Pat Haden, who is now with the NFL Los Angeles Rams. Stis. a 6-1, 180-pound senior, broke the county record held by Herrmann’s former teammate at Carmel and Purdue, Bart Burrell, with more than 1,500 yards in receptions. DeTrude. a 5-10, 140-pound running back who is just a junior, rushed for more than 1,500 yards to balance the Southeastern offense. The Royals’ Kurt Keefer, a massive 6-3, 250-pound senior, was named first-team All-State at offensive guard and defensive tackle, and teammate L.H. Bond, a 6-1, 200-pound senior, was selected to the first team at linebacker and second team at center. Hamilton Southeastern

“WE GOT BEAT because of our transition game,” coach Lloyd Blubaum said. “We didn’t get back on defense. Eight of their first half baskets came on fastbreaks.” Despite trailing 12-2 at the first stop and 28-16 at halftime, the Cougars did cut the margin to eight behind PickePs shooting

st stop, but trailed 28-27 at halftime. Cloverdale scored only four third period points and that decided the issue. IT WOULD HAVE been a low scoring third quarter for both teams, but during the last three minutes Tri-West scored 10

it.” The main culprits here were Jeff Clements and Mike, Billington, each of whom finished with 16 points behind the 21 of Yess. Yess led the Titan rebounders with 13. “He’s a quiet player who just gets the job done,” Steele said. “He doesn’t force things occasionally like Metzelaars does -- everytime we put a guy on him to double-team, he would hit the open man. Leading the Tigers were Notestine with 13 points, Hathaway with 12 and Juan Aponte with 11, but only two in the second half. "In the second half,” noted Steele. IWU’S SECOND-HALF hot hand brought their game totals to 33 of 58 from the floor for 57 percent. DePauw ended at 23 of 55 field goal attempts for 42 percent. IWU was seven for eight from the line for 87 percent, while DPU canned 11 of 14 charity tosses for 78 percent. Now 0-2 on the season, DePauw will return home to face Millikin on Saturday night in Bowman Gym. DePAUW (57) Aponte 434 3 11. Dixon 0 1-2 21.

lineup which would feature three players at 6-3. However,the veteran coach who returned to the bench this year has been going with a smaller lineup. "They are certainly the type of team we have to respect," coach A 1 Tucker said. “Avon is as good as anybody we've played so far,” Tucker said of Saturday night’s road trip. “If we get through Friday I expect Saturday to be a real challenge for us.” AVON IS A VERY young team, but has plenty of size. Charlie Rodgers, a 6-4 senior swingman, and Jed Wickham, a 6-3, junior forward, are the two veterans and led the Orioles’ attack in the first three games against Decatur Central. Ben Davis and Plainfield. Avon defeated Plainfield 65-55 as Wickham scored 20 and Rodgers 14. After four games Jim Price leads the balanced Cloverdale attack with a 17.5 scoring average and fellow frontliner Chad Tucker is scoring 15.7 points per game. Guard Jerry Neese is averaging 12.5 points, while Mark McCammon and Billy Chestnut round out the starting five, each carrying a 10.4 average.

more bulk inside,” coach Bill Merkel said of the Bulldogs. Monrovia opened the season with a victory over Eminence and lost its second game to Mooresville. Rick Miller has led the Bulldogs in the first two games, averaging 20.5 points, while Kevin Loudermilk is scoring 18 points per outing. Merkel says Saturday night’s game at Danville will be hard fought by both teams. “They had a very similar year to what we had last year,” Merkel said. “I don't think they’re going to blow us out and we re not going to blow them out. ” THE COMMON OPPONENT of South Putnam and Danville is Greencastle. The W’arriors defeated the Tiger Cubs 55-54 in the season opener, while the Eagles lost a 61-60 cliff hanger. Danville’s loss came at Clinton Prairie. The Warriors play Brownsburg Friday so neither team will have a rest advantage. Chris Stitzle has become a surprising offensive force through the first three games for the Eagles. Stitzle’s 14.6 average paces the Eagles, backed by Sean Pack’s 10.7 average. GREENCASTLE COULD BE in trouble this weekend. TriWest is living up to its pre-season prediction of being one of the better teams in the conference. “I feel like Tri-West is the second best team in the conference right now." coach Doug

Cubs lose 2nd WCC contest

By STEVE FIELDS Banner-Graphic Sports Editor Everyone has heard of “baptism under fire”, right? The young players on the Greencastle High School girls basketball team are getting just that this season. The Tiger Cubs lost a 42-41 overtime West Central Conference game Wednesday night at McAnally Center and had to play the overtime without either of their senior leaders. “OUR YOUTH IS still showing, though our experience is developing very quickly and it’s going to in games like that,” coach Kathy Kissinger said of the second Cub loss in four games. Cascade’s Connie Woods capped an 11 point performance with a field goal to put the Cadets into a 41-40 advantage after a spread offense too precious seconds away from Greencastle. Jammye Higgins sealed the victory for the Cadets, hitting the front end of a bonus situation for her first career varsity points. The score was tied 39-39 at the end of the regulation 32 minutes. Greencastle led 35-31 in the fourth quarter with 3:35 left on the clock, but two of the game total 37 Cub turnovers allowed Cascade to tie the contest at 35-35. BOTH TEAMS HAD opportunities to w'in the game in regulation time at the free throw line, but as shown by the Cubs’ 10 for 22 free throw

Miller said, playing a little homage to defending champion Cloverdale. The Bruins opened the season with a win over Zionsville, then opened eyes around the conference with a 64-45 rout of Edgewood. Four of the five Tri-West starters are playing their third season of varsity ball -- Scott Cole, Barry Newton, Greg Hitch and Dean Hagan Tim Wilson rounds ou the starting five at guard. TERRE HAUTE NORTH has registered victories over Rosedale (68-46) and Evansville Reitz (75-69 in overtime). While the Cubs are playing the Bruins the Patriots will host Brazil, a hie rivalry for both schools. Coach Miller says Tri-West is the primary target. “We open our conference season and if we knock off Tri-West Friday we would be in very good conference shape right off the bat,” Miller said. “We’re going to point to that game and see if we can get our conference season going. ” Miller announced that Bill Shuee would be back in uniform this weekend after sitting out the County Classic with a knee injury. The junior will see only limited action.
