Clovers now play Pioneers; Eagles are out
By STEVE FIELDS Banner-Graphic Sports Editor MONROVIA One Putnam County team advanced and another made an exit from the 14th annual : IHSAA Girls Basketball Touma- : ment on Wednesday night in open- : ing round of the Monrovia sec- ! tional. Ann Hutcheson scored 30 points and grabbed 10 rebounds to propel Cloverdale to a 67-57 victory over ! Eminence in game two, while a ; physical Mooresville defense put ' South Putnam out of the tournament 56-36. GREENCASTLE, 12-6, plays Monrovia today at 6:30 p.m. (WJNZ Radio, 94.5 FM) and Cloverdale, now 9-9, play Mooresville, 11-8, the 8 p.m. second game. The opening night games were completely opposite. Mooresville and South Putnam played a halfcourt game, patient contest, while Cloverdale and Eminence raced up and down the floor and let the ball fly. There were 29 fouls called in the first game, while, in the second game there were 34 called and five players fouled out. There were 98 shots takes between Mooresville and South Putnam, while Cloverdale and Eminence put up 130. Cloverdale’s final 10-point margin is deceivingly wide. The score of this foul-filled contest was 56-56 with just over two minutes remaining and neither team ever led by more than six points. THE CLOVERS outscored the Eels 10-1 in the final 1:59 of the game. Denise Atkins, who scored nine points and grabbed 10 rebounds, hit the front end of a one-and-one free throw to put Cloverdale ahead for good with 1:59 left. Two Hutcheson free throws extended the Clovers’ lead to three points. Monica Koosman capped a 10-point performance with a deuce and Hutcheson closed out tne game with a pair of field goals. “We played hard,” Cloverdale coach Greg Hammond said. “Sometimes we didn’t play very smart, but we did things right when we had too.” Eminence attacked Cloverdale with Shawn Feehearty’s ball handling and perimeter game, com-
North at South on Friday night
By STEVE FIELDS Banner-Graphic Sports Editor The drawing for the 79th annual IHSAA state tournament is just 17 days away. Most county teams have only five or six games remaining in their regular season. Add that factor into North Putnam’s trip to South Putnam on Friday night. In fact, North and South play each have three games left against teams in the Green-castle-IHSAA sectional. South plays North, then on Tuesday is home against Cloverdale and Feb. 17 travels to Owen Valley. North plays South, then is home against Greencastle on Feb. 10 and at Owen Valley Feb. 11. BUT FRIDAY NIGHT, North and South will be concerned about one another, not Greencastle or Cloverdale, two county teams also playing home games. Greencastle, 5- will entertain Northview and all-state candidate Kenny Rowan. Cloverdale, 1-13, tries to snap a nine-game losing, streak at home against Owen Valley. Because of the IHSAA Girls Basketball sectional finals there are few high high basketball games on scheule, one in Putnam County Monrovia at North Putnam. If Monrovia’s girls win on Thursday night against Greencastle, the Monrovia at North Putnam boys varsity and junior varsity games will be postponed to Tuesday. NORTH AT SOUTH North has the size, South has the quickness. Each coach has an asset to work with that worries the other. North coach Jim Brothers will start 6-6 Jeff Smith at center with 6- Brock Barnhart and 6-0 AJ. Barker at forwards and 6-0 Chad Wehrman and 5-8 Paul Clodfelter at guards. SOUTH COACH Kieth Pucket has played with his lineup of late, but look for 6-2 Mitch Trusty and 6-1 Michael Trusty to be at forwards with 5-11 Tege Lewis at guards and 5-10 Steve Blaydes and 6 C Jason Haltom at guards. Look for South to put more pressure on North’s guards, a tactic

But which Cougars will show up Friday night, the ones who beat Rockville, Covington and Crawfordsville, or the ones who were blown out at Edgewood and dumped by Danville last week? “I THINK IT was just a mental lapse on our part,” Brothers said of the Cougars’ play last week. “If you have talent like Louisville and Georgetown you just put them out there and tell them to play hard. We have to be smart, we have make good decision and that’s what we’re looking for Friday night at South Putnam.” South has the more balanced attack with four double-figure scorers. Mitch Trusty leads the way at 17.4 points a game, followed by Blaydes at 10.7 from the perimeter and Michael Trusty at 10.7 points inside and Haltom at 10 points a game frm the backcourt. Lewis averages 7.1 points a game in the pivot. WEHRMAN continues to lead the Cougars, Putnam County and

made any headway,” Hammond said. After leading 27-24 at halftime, Cloverdale threatened to pull away early in the third quarter. Atkins stole the ball and scored to give the Clovers a 38-32 lead. However Eminence scored the next seven points. Fleehearty scored twice, Benge once and Murrell added a free throw, as the Eels took a 39-38 edge. The final quarter opened with the score tied 43-43 and it remained a one-and-two-point contest until the final two minutes when Hutcheson took control for Cloverdale. Hutcheson had 14 points and four rebounds during the fourth quarter. SOUTH PUTNAM shot 29 percent (13-45) from the floor. That’s the best way to describe the Eagles’ final game of a 5-13 season. Mooresville packed a zone defense around Stacy Broadstreet and dared the other Eagles to shoot. “When they take Stacy away from us, that is what’s going to happen,” coach Allan Rains said after ending his first year as South’s coach.
the West Central Conference at 19 points a game. However, after three straight 25-point games, the sophomore scored just three points against Danville. Clodfelter came through with a 20-point game when these two teams played in the Putnam County Classic. Adding heat to an already warm rivalry, during the junior varsity game brothers John and Bill Chestnut will be coaching against one another for the first time. John coaches South and Bill coaches North. Both are Cloverdale High School graduates to played for former coach A 1 Tucker. AT GREENCASTLE Like Greencastle’s Tiger Cubs, Northview’s Knights are just starting to pull it all together. After a 37 start, the Knights have won four straight. The problem? ‘They were having a confidence problem in their perimeter shooters through the early part of the season,” Greencastle coach Doug Miller said. Opponents were, and still are to an extent, sagging inside to stop Kenny Rowan, Northview’s 6-5, all-state candidate. Rowan, somehow has managed to average 26 points a game. BUT NOW GUARDS Mark Parkey, Ernie Maesch, Brad Emmert and David Targett are hitting the bucket. “If they can hit those open 15-footers that people have been giving them, then they’re going to become a very difficult team to play,” Miller said. This should be a defensive battle. Coach Jim Buell, formerly Brazil High School’s coach, started his

The Pioneers executed their defense just like coach Joe Johnson planned. “We keyed on two people (Broadstreet and Rene McKinney). I felt like our defense did a good job,” the 11-time sectional championship coach said. SOUTH DID GET its offense going in the third quarter, but it was Rene McKinney doing the scoring. The Eagles lofted the ball to the six-foot Broadstreet in the blocks and she dumped it off to McKinney for 10- and 15-foot baseline jumpers. “If some of those early shots would have fallen, it might have set a better tone, a lower score, at halftime,” coach Rains said of hearing the 1 of 12 first-quarter shooting statistics. McKinney hit 7 of 15 shots from the floor for 17 points in her final appearance for South Putnam. Broadstreet scored 11 points and grabbed 11 rebounds. MOORESVILLE WAS paced by senior guard Nicky Loux with 13 points and 5-10 center Maureen Weber, a sophomore, scored 12.
coaching career as an assistant to A 1 Tucker at Cloverdale and the defensive trademark has stayed with him. Greencastle’s offense has picked up with Pete Huber hitting 56 percent (30-54) from the floor the last three games. AT CLOVERDALE Life in the West Central Conference can be pretty tough without a big man or two, just as Cloverdale coach Don Burton. Owen Valley, 6-7 overall and 4-1 in conference play, has 6-6 center Matt Winders. “I saw them play last weekend and the Winders kids is as good as any big man I’ve seen,” coach Burton said. Winders is averaging 11.5 points and 7.2 rebounds a game, but he’s just part of the problem Cloverdale faces. Brad Corder leads the Patriots with a 15.1 scoring average and Tim Wallace is just under the 10-point marie. “WE’VE GOT TO go out and guard their shooters,” Burton assured. “Wallace is going to shoot from three-point range, a couple other guys will shoot it from outside, so you can’t back off and leave them wide open.” Until Tuesday night’s loss to Greencastle, Cloverdale was able to control the tempo of its recent games. Shooting remains the problem, the Clovers hitting just 34 percent from the floor against the Tiger Cubs 39 percent against Northview. The Clovers, although idle on Saturday, won’t have much rest, as they play at South Putnam on Tuesday.

North ousted from tourney
By LISA MEYER Banner-Graphic Staff Writer A monkey clung to the back of North Putnam Wednesday night when the Lady Cougars failed to win a sectional game for the 14th straight year, but wrapped up their first-ever winning season with a 109 record. The Cougars suffered a 69-54 loss to the hosts of the Western Boone-IHSAA girls basketball sectional. IT WAS THE first time the Cougars had been to a sectional with a better record that their opponent Western Boone had a 6-12 regular season. But the Cougars played without starter Jennifer Greenburg, who suffered head and leg injuries in an automobile accident Friday. Greenburg sat in the stands behind the team for support, but coach Doug Rose said that without the senior forward, his team had a rough time getting started. “She’s our enthusiasm. She’s our leader on the court She’s our spark,” Rose said of the injured Greenburg. “We were hoping that she being here tonight would help, but it didn’t.” THE STARS TOOK advantage of the Cougars’ misfortune, coming out strong and setting the pace of the contesL Halfway into the first quarter, the Stars had rattled North into three fouls. The Stars held the Cougars scoreless for the remainder of the period to take a 17-6 lead. That was a hole that North Putnam continued to dig. “I was hoping (Greenburg’s presence) would give us a lift,” Rose said, “but when you have something that tragic, when you lose a starter, you come out flat. And we came out as flat as we’d been all year.” COACH ROSE emptied his bench early looking for the spark to ignite his Cougars.

No. 3 North Carolina one of upset victims
By The Associated Press Third-ranked North Carolina and No. 13 North Carolina State remain tied for the Atlantic Coast Conference lead but their slips are showing. THE TAR HEELS lost 85-82 at Clemson, a team they have beaten 85 times in 97 meetings. “I couldn’t believe they were number three in the nation,” said Clemson’s Kirkland Howling, who scored five points in the final minute. “But it’s time we get some respect, and after this they’ll have to respect us.” N.C. State also ran into an ungracious host, losing at Virginia 9171 after falling behind 25-4. Coach Jim Valvano found some humor in the shellacking, noting that the Wolfpack “didn’t wear anybody out tonight except me. It was 19-2 and I wasn’t sure we were ever going to score again. But then we made a run. We scored three points, I think.”
