Yellow Jackets Lose To Kendallville Fiy

Cornels Score Victory From Charily Stripe Superiority from the free throw line paid off for the Kendallville Comets Friday night, the - Noble county lads edging out a 48-45 victory over the Decatur Yellow Jackets in a Northeastern Indiana conference tussle that was a rugged battle all the way. The Jackets hit 16 times from the field as compared to 15 field goals for the visitors, but the Comets made good on 18 of 24 opportunities from the charity stripe, while the Jackets cashed in on only 13 of 23 chances from the 15foot marker. Kendallville, loser of only two games over the entire season, moved into a five-point lead at 13-8 at the end of the first quarter, but the Yellow Jackets, sparked by Kenny Grant's four field goals, moved into a 24-23 advantage at the intermission. The Jackets scored five quick points, on a free throw by Grant and two-pointers by Harold Bohnke and Sam Bogner to move into a 2923 margin early in the third period, but the Comets slowly whittled this margin to a single point, 35-34, at the end of the .quarter. Kay Kirkwood’s field goal and a free throw converted when he was fouled on the shot moved Kendallville into a 38-37 lead. Grant's foul toss tied the score at 38-38 but Tom Skiles hit from underneath to put the Comets on top to stay. Grant's fifth fielder of the tilt pulled the Yellow Jackets within one point at 46-45 with a minute to play but Pat McGiffin hit from the field to sew up the victory for the Comets. Grant's 15 points for the Jackets topped both teams in scoring. Bogner tallied 13 markers for Decatur and Neil Thomas 10, while McGiffin's 14 were best for Kendallville. Forty-one personal fouls were called during the game. 21 on Decatur and 20 on Kendallville. The Comets lost two players and the Jackets one on fouls in the final period. The Yellow Jackets play a pair of traditional rivals next week, entertaining the Bluffton Tigers here Tuesday and traveling to Berne Friday to tangle with the Bears.
