D 11m_ 60-59 with three seconds left an I the ball out of b un is urrlcr the Blue Jay basket, the Falcons gave up possession when Ciatg DeMyer moved out (A bounds before throwing the ball in bounds. The whistle blew and North Judson was given posses’sjon. An out nf bounds play was set up and the pass came in to Larrv Neilsen who shot the ball with one second to go from about six foot out and hit the basket to turn a sure victory into defeat 61-60. The sad part of the whole affair was that thin was the third such violation of the night. The rules state that a player must remain where the official gives him the ball. One step is

all iwcd, but n t moving freely as was done here.

Neilsen and Ynung hit in « tecession. but Pletcher an i Myer flipped in two outside shot to make it 14-13 as the first period ended. The Falcons had hit six long baskets in the first quarter, but were failing to penetrate the zone defense by mnvmg the ball under or moving it fast enough t • beat the Blue Jay zone. Ma k< hit first in the second quarter and Young added two free shots. Gary Trost hit a driving lay-in on a fast break and later put in a free throw also. Kevin Hunni hit a free sh< to cut the lead to IS-17 before Smrt and Neilsen pot back-to-bark baskets again. Pletcher and R* ger Stull each hit one of two free throw attempt* an 1 Stull collected his first basket o' the night DeMyer th< n hit a shot from the top of the circle and the Falcons enj yed their first lead 23-22. D >n Lemke tied the score with a lay-in with 12 seconds le‘t in the haK. This held up and the Blue Jays held the 25-23 lead at the main intermission. The .lavs moved to a six lead early in the second half. Brian Wickert hit a shot shat appeared to be a high pass into the 6’3" Neilsen, but it still counted two points for the Blue Jays. Smrt followed with a layin after the presam* Judson defense had stolen the ball. DeMyer flipped in a short one-hand-er, but Neilsen hit again from in close. Hanni scored on a lay-in DeMyer tossed in another from about 13 feet out. Young tallied a free shot, but Stull hit two baskets aandwichc j around one by Neilsen to keep the Falcons within one point. A pair of Cree shots by Wickert and Nielsen and a basket by Young made it 38-33 as the Falcons were having a little trouble going at this time and from here they battled about even the rest of the quarter and the Blue Jays held a 4 4-40 lead as McGees basket from the baseline right al the gun put two points on the board for Glenn that c< uM never be returned b* North Judi m.
