Berne Bears Win County Tourney Title

Beat Geneva Cardinals In Tourney Final Game Saturday Night, 36-32

By Pete ReyaeMa The Berne Bear* won their first county tourney crown since 1867 Saturday night, defeating the Geneva Cardinal*. 36-32. in the tourney final at the Adam* Central gym. Berne advanced to the championship tilt by eliminating the Decatur Commodore*. *3-50. in the first .emi-final Saturday afternoon, and Geneva qualified for the title battle by edging the defending champion Hartford Gorillas, 38-37. in the second game. The final contest was close all the wav.' with the longest lead a seven-point advantage, held briefly by Berne in the second quarter. 'Die Cardinals were in front most of the way in the first quarter, and held a 10-7 edge as the period ended, largely through three field goals by Doyle Long, the team s leading scorer, despite the handicap of a badly injured knee. Each of the Berne regulars hit once from the field in the second quarter, while Geneva was limited; to five points, and Berne held a scant 17-15 margin at half-time. The eventual champions upped their lead to 23-16 midway through the third period, but Larry Baumer hit twice and Larry Laux once to reduce the Berne margin to a bare point, 23-22. going into the final, eight minutes of play. Larry Moser and Roger Graber exchanged field goals and then; Larry Baumer made good on a; three-point play and Geneva had; a 29-27 margin. Jim Hill hit for a 27-27 tie and then Long and Dick Smith traded two-pointers and it was 29-29 with 4:10 to play. Jim Baumer put Geneva on top at 3120 with 1:45 left, but Steve Von Gunten evened the score 15 seconds later. The Bears went on top to stay on a free throw by Hill at 1 07, followed closely by a fielder bv Rod Schwartz Jim Baumer cut the lead to 34-32 with a foul toss with 52 seconds to play, but Schwartz’ fifth field goal iced the verdict and the championship for Berne. Schwartz and Long eadh tallied 10 points to lead their teams, as each coach used only six players. The Bears hit only two of eight free throws, the Cardinals six of 12 chances from the foul stripe. Eliminate Commodores The Decatur Commodores, after bolstering their fans’ hopes with a scoring spurt early in the second quarter, fell steadily behind in the face of a Berne counter-rally and were eliminated in the first Saturday afternoon clash. Berne led by a narrow margin throughout most of the first quarter, but a pair of free throws by Steve Omlor gave the Commodores an 11-10 margin with 30 seconds to go, but Dick Smith’s bucket gave Berne a 12-11 lead at the end of the period. Three quick fielders by sophomore Tom Kohne boosted the Commodores into a 19-12 lead after two minutes of the second quarter, but the Bears scored 11 consecutive points and held a 23-19 lead with 3:40 to go. Berne built its margin to 34-27 at the half, as Rod Schwartz batted one in from a jump ball at the free throw line just before the buzzer sounded. The Bears upped their advantage to 15 points midway through the third period, and the Commodores were unable to manufacture a serious threat the rest of the way. Schwartz topped all the scorers with 22 points .while Graber added 13 and Smith 11. Don Baker paced the Commodores with 16 markers, but none of his mates could reach double figures. Oust Champtons The second semi-final was a close one all the way. Geneva led all through the first quarter until

Keith Zuercber upped the advantage to three points, but Larry Bauj mer’s field goal and a pair of free throws by Larry Laux put Geneva in front at 36-35 with 2:42 to play. I Tom Moser's sixth field goal put 1 Hartford back on top at 2:15 to ' play. Then, with only 45 seconds to play, Sheldon Dynes hit and the Cardinals led, 38-37. The Gorillas lost the ball out of bounds on a bad pass with 33 seconds to go. but tied up the Cardinals in a jump ball with 24 to play. The Cardinals gained possession at the tip and controlled the ball until, with four seconds to go, Larry Baumer was fouled. The big Geneva center missed the free throw, and in the ensuing scramble Larry Laux committed his fifth personah But with two seconds to go, Zuereher’s free throw bounced off the rim and the Gorillas were dethroned. Tom Moser was the game’s leading scorer with 21 points, but had little help from his mates, who missed Phil Hoover, one of the county’s top scorers, still missing from the lineup because of an injury. Geneva had well balanced scoring, led by Dynes with 12 points and Larry Baumer with 10. Each team had 12 field goals, but Geneva converted 14 of 18 free throws, Hartford only 13 of 22.
