Lewis consistently dives for high scores and wins

INDIANAPOLIS Nathan Lewis has become a consistent scorer and winner for the Greencastle High School boys swimming team. Over the last three meets alone, Lewis scored 167.40 on Jan. 23 at Danville, came back with a 172.00 score on Tuesday at Crawfordsville and turned in a 171.05 Thursday night at Avon. Lewis’ first was one of just three for Greencastle in a 108-78 loss at Avon. “They don’t have a lot of swimmers, but the ones they have are good,” Greencastle coach Paul Bretscher noted. Avon has metric pool instead of the English measure used by most high schools. It made times in the meet appear slow, according to coach Bretscher said. “It give them a big home-pool advantage,” the coach said. Brandt Modlin won the 100buttcrfly and the team of Mark

Keady takes responsibility for setback

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) Purdue’s latest loss, a 78-69 decision to lowa that snapped the Hawkeyes’ Big Ten road losing streak at 15 games, has coach Gene Keady calling for change. “We got to get better. We’ve got to get better players and we’ve got to do a better job recruiting, a better job coaching,” Keady said after Thursday night’s loss. THE LOSS DROPPED Purdue to 11-7, 3-5 in the Big Ten with a Sunday road date against thirdranked Ohio Slate. “Il’s my fault I’m the head coach, so the buck stops here,” said Keady. lowa (14-6, 3-5) did most of its scoring inside, dominating the boards 39-25. “They concentrate on blocking

And they do a good job of battling you. “WE KNEW THAT. That’s why the first thing I wrote on the board, ‘Rebounding is going to win the game.’ ” The Boilermakers were unable to work the ball inside and put up a school record 25 3-pointers. Freshman Line Darner, who scored a season high 20 points to lead Purdue, attempted a school-record 13 and made five.

I just don’t think we’re aggressive enough at the end of it. Our philosophy is go base-to-base and score, not go base to 10 seconds (midcourt) and put it up,” Keady said. “I thought our ball club played just about as well as it could at this point in the season,” said lowa coach Tom Davis, whose biggest complaint after the game was that the team was going to have to spend the night here because of mechanical problems with the plane that was to return them to lowa. “We just did an awful lot of
