With a 24-1 record and the onetwo punch of Mickey Reeves and Pict'jie Spark* the best recommendation, coach Keith Rhoades' club must be considered the standout favorite in Saturday's southern semi-state tourney at Evansville. Although Bloomington won its, two Martinsville regional games by less than 10 points apiece, it has romped over five tourney foe* I by a winning margin of better than 21 markers. The Panthers, who clash with, defending semi - slate champion i New Albany in the second afternoon game, compiled a 20-game < winning streak since Jasper nipped them last December. 61-58 | The Wildcats were upset in last] weekend's regional*. New Albany, which depends on balance rather than indviidual brilliance, needed a five - game tourney winning streak to pull above 500 First - year coach Floyd Henry's club finished the j regular season with an 8-10 mark, and was trounced at Bloomington i Feb. 12. 91-65 Bloomington, in the final four three times, hasn’t made it since 1922 when it lost to eventual champion Franklin. 33-17. New Albany bowed to Kokomo in last year's finals' afternoon session in overtime. 58-56. Tell City, eliminated by New Albany in the southern semi-state round last year, and "Sweet 16" newcomer Carlisle clash in the opener. Both were surprise Regional winners. Tell City beat New Albany during the season. 68-54. but the other contenders haven't met. The Marskmen. 17-8. don't have a player taller than 6-2, but they cut down favored Evansville Lincoln last Saturday to retain their regional ecown- - n * Carlisle. 27-2, completed the form reversal in the Huntingburg regional by besting Washington, 35-33.
