Jackets Drop NEIC Contest Friday Night Decatur high school Yellow Jacket Betters tired In the final quarter at Kendallville Friday night and bowed to the highly- touted Cotnets by a score of After a slow ’ first quarter, the Jackets caught fire and amazed the home partisan crowd with the greatest eight minutes have played this year. Kendallville gqt away to a big lead in the early minutes and the Jackets were doing everything wrong. With the score .13-2 for p Jhe Comets. Kohne and Vetter each dropped in fielders and the quarter ended with the. count at 17-6. At the opening of the second quarter Koons hit from the field, ' Morrison snagged two fielders, Vetter hit a free throw. Moses tossed in a two-pointer and Koons hit a fielder. Kohne then got two quickies and Morrison sent the Jackets into a 24-23 lead with a field goal. t All this ’ time Kendallyille was making two free throws and for a while it appeared as if the Comets also were spectators. The Decatur heat continued to the end of the ,half and the Jackets were leading 23-28 at* the rest period. It was probably the best quarter Jr the Decatur team has marked down tin the record books this year. The passing was fine and the defense was just as good as the offense. At the start of the third quarter, the tw’o teams traded fielders twice and then the Comets started to close the gap. Vetter scored twice but was slowed down with his fourth personal and finally fouled out. \ \ The third quarter ended 43-42 with the Comets back in the lead. The Jackets were scrapping hard to keep in front but the pace of the second and third quarters began to show. The count remained,, close untij the last four minutes and White and Thrapp outlasted the Jacket sharpshooters. White counted for five Comet fielders in the final five minutes and that was the big difference in the Ndrthestern Indiana conference contest. t Kendallville counted 16 times from the charity, stripe and Decatur made orriy eight free tosses. It was a great game to watch and the Jackets showed that they can get in and tusfele with the best of them. * - Decatur FG FT TP Kohne -- 3 *"'3 9 Vetter __x.—-—-- 3 17 Pollock 0 0 0 Koons 4 2 10 Morrison —5 O f 10 Schieferstein — 0 0 0 Moses ’ - ■- 7 2 16 « l— Totals -j— 19 8 ! 52 Kendallville FG FT TP Thrapp 6 6 18 Haase —— r - O*- ~0 0 Swafford — 4 0 8 Wiese 0 0 - .0 White —7, 5 19 Marti 0 3 3 Fischer 2 0 0 0 Hutchins 4 19 Kurtz !---— 2 15 Totals 23 16 62 Officials: Bateman, McKensie.
