No. 18 DePauw to host Rose

By STEVE FIELDS Banner-Graphic Sports Editor Moose Hecko has scored 36 points, hit 16-of-26 shots from the floor and grabbed 19 rebounds in the last two games. An average two days at the office for the DePauw senior. They apparently were above average games for the Indiana Collegiate Athletic Conference. HECKO HAS BEEN named ICAC Player of the Week. “Oh, yeah. Thanks,” Hecko said when congratulated. No, Hecko wasn’t being flippant. It’s the fourth time he was been named player of the week for the three-year-old league. Hecko, averaging 17 points and 10 rebounds a game this season, holds the ICAC single-game rebound record with 16 boards against Anderson and the single-season record of 10.2 boards per game, both as a sophomore.

Northview pins Cubs

BRAZIL The Greencastle High School wrestling team is having one of those seasons where individual success is not translating into team victories. Shane Thomas is 17-0, Steve Graham is 15-1 and Brian Black is 13-2. All, plus Delton Moore, won Monday night at Northview. However, Northview still won the meet 54-21. Thomas scored a 4-3 decision to remain unbeaten at 160 pounds. Graham pinned Northview’s Pattenaude in just 29 seconds in the heavyweight match. Black pinned Vellejo in 2:17 and Moore needed just 33 seconds to pin Pittman in the 130-pound match. Greencastle will wrestle its

MOOSE HECKO ICAC Player of the Week game last year is the second highest single-season scoring average in the conference record book. BUT AS HECKO and the 18thranked Tigers prepare for tonight’s (Wednesday’s 7:30 p.m.) home game with Rose-Hulman’s Engineers, the only important numbers are those on the scoreboard, those in the conference standings and those those in the NCAA Midwest Region poll that determine the NCAA Division 111 Tournament field and “W” column is most in. portant. “Before every game, like at Hanover, coach wrote on the board, ‘find a way to win,’” Hecko said. “We played really bad at Hanover. They outplayed us, but we won.” A WIN TODAY would give the Tigers a 2-0 record in the con

ference. “Right now we’re thirty undefeated team in the conf 6006 and it’s early so, we conf l our own destiny,” Hecko said. A win would also give pPauw a lot of satisfaction. Whil Wabash remains DePauw’s No. rival in the eyes of the alumni faculty members, Rose-Hu san has developed its a big va l for basketball team. DePauw leads theories 34-25, but the two split ast year and recent contests havP 66o heated. “LAST YEARfHEY beat us (at Rose-Hulman 3-57). We had a chance to win oi> last-second shot and their fans rs on the floor like they had won he tournament or something,” H* k o recalled. “Wabash a 4 DePauw is still a big rivalry, at I think DePauwRose is becc*ing as big.” Rose-Hu nan , 9-6 overall and 13 in the ICC, will be a little shorthanded.

Cougars win with team attack

By STEVE FIELDS Banner-Graphic Sports Editor ROACHDALE When you’ve got the state’s leading scorer and he’s shooting 72 percent from the floor, you want him to touch the ball. That makes it tough to convince opponents that your other players can score. Jim Brothers has been telling anyone who would listen that Daniel Johnson, averaging 32.9 points per game, is not North Putnam’s only offensive weapon. THE COUGARS PROVED it Tuesday night in a 82-69 victory over the Cloverdale Clovers. North led by as many as 22 points and never allowed Cloverdale closer than 13 points in the fourth quarter while improving its record to 7-4 overall and 2-1 in the West Central Conference. While a cluster of Clovers limited Johnson to just 25 points eight under his average and his first sub-30 something game since Christmas guard Roger Busch and Eric Pipes combined for 34 points on 13-of-24 shooting from the floor and 6-of-12 from threepoint range. It was exactly what Cloverdale coach Jeff Cherry didn’t want to happen. “We told the kids from the very start, (Johnson) was going to get his 25-to-30 (points) at least, but that wasn’t going to win the game. We couldn’t let somebody else go crazy on us and that’s exactly what we did,” Cherry said. BUSCH SNAPPED OUT of a shooting slump with a 21 points on 8-of-13 shooting from the floor and 3-of-6 from three-point range. And Pipes hit 5-of-ll from the floor and 3-of-6 from treyland.

Smiling like the Cougar who swallowed the canary, Brothers said, “I’ve been saying all along these other guys can do it. We’re just getting real good ball movement and we’ve got guys stepping hit and hitting the shot.” North actually won this game twice. The Cougars blew out to a 17-7 lead in the opening quarter, as Pipes hit a pair of treys and Busch one. JOHNSON PICKED UP two fouls in the first quarter and sat out the final two minutes of the period and opening minutes of the second. However, the Cougars continued to extend their lead 32-11 when Kevin Mendenhall hit two free throws with 5:33 left in the first half. “The game was decided in the first quarter,” Cherry said. “We get

down 17-7, then it got worse as the second qwuarter started. Then we decided to play.” Cloverdale held North scoreless for 3:33. “With a 21-point lead, the next six possessions we did not get a shot and they score on four of the six (turnovers) and it’s back to a dogfight,” Brothers said. BILLY BYRD, WHO led the Clovers with a season-high 21 points, and Brian McCammon, who scored 10 points, hit threes. Ryan Ford, who scored 14 points and had 12 rebounds, added a pair of free throws. A steal and layup by Byrd cut North’s lead to just 32-26 with 2:40 left in the half. But North outscored Cloverdale 7-2 in the final two minutes of the period to take a 39-28 lead into halftime.

is there. We’re just preparing like they’re both (Beach and coach Perkins) going to be there,” Hecko said. “They could get some freshman in there, somebody really fired up to play and come in there and drill us. We have to be fired up to play.” After Wednesday’s contest, DePauw will travel to Franklin on Saturday for a 3 p.m.

North outscored Cloverdale 14-3 in the opening 1:30 of the third quarter. Justin Barker capped the run when Jeremy Butler passed the ball back outside for an open three that gave North 53-31 lead. “AT THE BEGINNING of every quarter we dig ourselves a little deeper hole to climb out,” Cherry said. This one was too deep and the Cougars burried them in it. Once Cloverdale cut the lead to nine, 5546, on a bucket by Ford with 1:42 left in the third quarter, North went on an 8-2 run. The Cougars took a 63-48 lead into the final period and led most of the ragged eight minutes by 17 points. Cloverdale plays host to TriWest Friday night.
