Yellow Jackets Lose To Bluffton High

TIGERS SCORE 32-20 VICTORY TUESDAY NIGHT Yellow Jackets Falter After Close First Three Quarters For more than three quarters of a hectic game, the Decatur high school eYllow Jackets and tne Bluffton Tigers played on even terms in the traditional battle on the Parlor City court, but the Tigers stepped away fast in the last six minutes to win 32-20. It was their sad Inability to hit the net that cost the Jackets their 'irst tilt of the season with the old rivals.

The Parly part of the second quarter was little better, but accuracy from the free throw lane kept the locals close on Tiger heels, 9-10 at halftime. McConnell's two baskets were the only ones chalked up by the Purple and Gold. Gaunt snagged Decatur's only goal in the third stanza, but still the Jackets hung on. trailing but three points. 12-15 when the whistle sounded for the final quarter. Stapleton gave Decatur rooters heart when he hit out on the floor to pull the Jackets within three points 14-17 after Fryback’s bucket had given them a five-marker lead. With six minutes to go. John McConnell left the floor on four personals. while the towering Tiger center, Fryback. and Garrett went wild. Frybackl made three more and Garett made a like number. Until those last six minutes the outcome was always in doubt, even though the mainstays of the Jacket scoring power were far off form, .‘.iter those six minntes it ‘urned to a rout and the Jackets became the
