Triton Too Much For Falcons Saturday Night Triton’s Trojans visited John Glenn Saturday night and handed the Falcons their fourth defeat of the season. Triton's decision to drop out of the annual County Tourney could be the test break Glenn receives this year aa this is the best team the Falcon- have met this season and one that can cause anyone trouble as they are a sound, well disciplined ball club. The final of 86 to 76 displayed their talents ag Glenn d.d not play all that bad with the exception of not so good board work, the one place the Trojans did dom.iiauc the game. A strong la; t half of the first period boost< d the visitors from BourLon ahead to stay. Bill Fiaugher opened the scoring as he took a f.ne pa a from R.ch Reese for a lay in after more than a minute had passed. A pair of baskets by Brad Sellers and Dan Sharpe made it 4 to 2 l.ut Bruce Dayhuff came back with two baskets of his own. the second coming on another nce feed from Reese. Seller’s hit from 9 foot, but Dayhuff sw'shed another on a short baeline shot. Sharpe tied the icore at eight all from 18 feet but Reese popped one from 16 foot to k*cp the Falcons ahead by two with the quarter half gone. Sellers and Sharpe combined for two more Tricon baskets to push them ahead but Dayhuff hit a driving, twisting thot to knot it at 12. However, Tr.ton look tlie lead for good as Rich Rhodes hit & rebound lay in and Rudy Glingle flipped in a short side shot. After Reese hit a singie free throw attempt, Rhodes scored from the baseline to make it 13 to 13. John Hamess drilled a 14 footer on which he was fouled and he converted the last point of the quarter for Glenn tut Triton wasn't done as Max Trowbridge h.t his first ba ket of the game on a tip and Sellers added two charity shots for a 22 to 16 first period lead.

good action as a nearly full house was watching some good basketball only to see Tr.ton’s tremendous board game make the difference in the play. The two teams each had 20 point quarters in this period but the Falcons never got closer than four points and that just briefly twice late in the period. Triton al o showed their fine balanct in the second stanza with fix boys splitting their 20 points. Glenn had nine points from Harness and fix more from Gillies in this 8 m nutes to pace their attack. The second half was more of the same. The Trojans are a hard team to play catch up with as their disciplined play and very fine board game doe n’t give an opponent too many chances to get that gecond and third shot oi to take advantage of mistakes that most high school teams make. Only a few times did the Trojans take "I ad” shots and even those u ually came only if rebounders were near the bo<ud. Sharpe opened Lhe half with a rebound lay jn and Koontz and Sellers both rcored on rebound efforts before Dayhuff h ; t an 18 footer and then two free shots. Koontz scored again on board play and Dayhuff once more ripp’d the cords from the ba eline. However, Rhodes scored an easy lay in on an out of bounds play that caught Glenn’s defense off guard and Sharpe r wished another one from the top o f the circle and Tr ton was maintaining a 10 point lead. Things were pretty even for the la-t four m.rsutes of the third period wih Triton at one time building up a 13 point margin only to have Curt Pletcher, Dayhuff and Harness hit in quick order to cut the lead to seven.

A lay in by Koontz at the buzzer made it 63 to 54 w.th jm>l one quarter left. The Falcons juat couldn’t get the margin much clo er m the final stanza. Triton’s balanced attack and hard work on the two boards simply h Id the Falcons in check. The lead was never less than eight points in this final period of good action. Triton’s balance was displayed by the statistics. All five starteis scored in double figures and add to this the fact that each quarter found the Trojan^ getting at least 20 points in each quarter displaying* consistency. A 23 point effort ky Rhodes was high for the winners with 18 by Sharpe, 17 by S JUers, 12 by Koontz and 10 for Trowbridge completing the starting f.ve figures. Dayhuff took game honors w.th 25 and had 21 po nt support from Harness. Ree*e also hit double figures with 11. Triton's B team came on big after early Glenn It ads to win a 59 to 40 decision.

The loss was the e ghth in nine starts for an inexperienced Shamrock squad in this 1971-72 season. Although not over powering, a safe lead was piled up* by the hustling Di ig >ns in the first quarter of 18 to 11 as the hmtl.ng Mar hall County five was controlling piny and dominating the foul action with plenty of free thiows. The Shamrocks did whittle the bad ever so rightly in the second period, and trailed 28 to 23 at the main intermissdon. Argos opened up th ir winning margin in the third p riod as a 21 point stanza made it 49 to 36 at the end of three. This lead safe as it wa^ but not overpowering, was maintained through out the balance of the game for the 72-59 win.
