After a comparltively slow first half, which was the Shamrocks game plan in an effort to stop the running Faicons. the pace quickened and so did the scoring as the two teams began to move up and down the floor much faster, to the liking of the Falcons. Craig DeMyer opened the second half with a basket after 14 seconds had pissed and this was followed by a free throw by John Stasko and baskets bv Greg Amor and Jack Ross as the Falcons moved to a 31-21 lead before Chris Anderson hit after almost two and a half minute, had dap-d.

Stasko hit one of two from the foul line nnd Groves popped another by leading a fast break nnd the lead was safe with the little time remaining. Kevin Hostetler’s basket was followed by one with Ross again hitting to account for the final score.
