Ten Cents Per Copy

Madison Rally Overcomes Big Shamrock Lead After f illing behind 6-0. the Shamrock of North Liberty took ale id on M idison in the opening roun I of the Sectional Tourmy and held on until a terrific rally by tie Panther- not only caught the Shamrocks but won going away. With just over six minutes to go in the game North Liberty held what appeared to be a safe 66-53 lead and Madison had several players in foul trouble with four personals. However, someone forgot to tell Madison they were supposed to play dead and they put on a pre -sure defense and hard driving offense to total 28 points in the remainder of the game while holding the Shamrocks to eight points to win 81-74. This advanced them to the Saturday play of the tourney. It appeared in the early minute* like it was going to be a run-a-way for Madison as they opened the scoring after only seven seconds on a -hot by Verhaeghe. They added a pair of free throws by Y<xler and two more by Verhacge to take a 6-0 lead while the Shamrocks hadn’t -tarted any kind of an offensive threat Hostetler broke the ice with a short jumper from underneath and then followed the next time down the floor with a free throw. Jackson hit a free throw and a pair of one-pointers by Porter tied the score. With 4:52 remaining in the opening period. Peterson broke the tie to shove the Shamrocks ahead for the first tune He added another basket shortly after for a 10-6 lead before Beehlet hit for the Panthers from the top of the circle to break the streak Ho tetler hit a lay in and Bcehler tossed another in from outside Jackson hit a jumper from the left ide of the circle and Whitehead came back with a lay in for Madison. The lead was increased to five. 17-12. by the two minute mark as Pete-son hit a foul shot and Hostetler a rebound shot for the Shamrock*. Beehler again hit from 19 foot but Peterson came back with a lay in After Pogue tipped one in Peterson hit a lay m an Salver hit one of two free throws with Hostetler tipping in the missed second one for a 24-16 lead at the end of the penod Madison trimmed the lead in the second quarter as they went to work right off the start with three free throws one bv Beehler and two by Yoder Porter hit from the corner but Whitehead scored on a lay in Peterson hit a free throw in bm attempts, an<i Hostetler followed liter with a lay-in 7 straight point* by the Panther* cut thi lead as Yoder converted a three point play, followed with another basket and then Pogue hit a short jumper making the score 29-2" Jackson drove ill the way for a lav in bringing the bill l-wn md added i f'w throw i- he wot Hed He hit the next two pc"- n another cripple as hi* driving w i- carrying him i ’ the w iy alnio t ncont. ^ed Pogue hit a paii ' ’ v " haeghe a lay in. but Nick to ba k lav in* bv Porter and Jackson and pa.- of f«' Peterson pu hed th* Shamrocks out m front by a 40-32 score The teams traded baskets as Yoder hit first, then Porter Yoder, on a rebound and Jackson again (Continued to page 16 >
