Jackets Score Third Victory Against Tigers Decatur’s Yellow Jackets made it three in a row for the season over their ancient rivals, the Bluffton Tigers, at Bluffton Friday night, after trailing by two points at the end of the first quarter. The first period was a nip and tuck battle, ending with Bluffton on top by two points, 11-9. The Jackets began rolling in the second quarter, however, and held the Tigers to four points while Ballard paced the Decatur attack to give the Jackets 24-13 margin at the half time intermission. The Yellow Jackets continued to dominate play in the third quarter, increasing their lead to 15 points at 36-21. Decatur maintained thus 15-point margin through the final period, leading at 39-24 with three minutes of playing time remaining. The Tigers were able to cut the final margin by only four points against Decatur’s reserves in the closing minutes of play. Decatur’s attack was paced by Ballard, who tallied 13 points on six field goals and a free throw. McAlhaney counted 10 points and Lehman nine for the winners. For Bluffton, Karch was the top pointmaker with 11 markers on four field goals and three points from the charity etripe The Yellow Jackets outscored their opponents from the floor, 18 field goals to 11. Bluffton, with far More opportunities from the foul line, converted only nine of 22 attempts. The Jackets with only 12 tries from the 15-foot mark, converted exactly half of them. The Jackets will be on the road for a pair of games next week, traveling to Warsaw Wednesday . night for a Northeastern Indiana conference battle with the Tigers, and moving out to Pleasant Mills Friday to tangle with the Spartans. 1 FG FT TP Decatur
