Falcons Edge Tii’on Friday In 14-13 Thriller The John Glenn Falcons tound that hard work reaps great rewards as they tasted the sweetest reward of all Fridas night, a big upset win. Although this wasn’t a conference game, Triton's Trojans had established themselves as a real good small school team with 11 consecutive wins including three straight this season. The Falcon team, especially the defense, dedicated itself to hard work last week after the very disappointing loss to LaVille, and that dedication paid off in a fine showing Friday. The final score was 14-13 in a hard played game that found the heavens opening up and drenching all in the second quarter. JG Statistics T 14 Firs.

However, field position was in Glenn’s favor and after an exchange of punts, Triton put the ball in play from their own 18. After a completed pass for 16, a fumble was recovered by Dick Bogard, giving the Falcons first and 10 on the Triton 34. A one yard run by Bill Dominiack was followed by two successive Greg Gillies to Tom Hall passes, the first for 22 and the second •for 11 yards and the score. A wide kick left it 6-0, but th* 1 Falcons had drawn first blood as 3:15 remained in the opening period. The following kick was an onside kick and after brushing a Trojan player and moving the necessary yards both, Jerry Moore recovered for Glenn. The Faolcns moved deep into Triton territory before losing the ball on downs, but still had tremendous field position. After two exchanges of the ball, one on a Tom Hail interception, Glenn had the ball when the rains came. This hard deluge put a different game on the field for the rest of the half and the Falcons held the 6-0 lead at the intermission. The third period found some hard hitting football with each team losing the ball on a fumble plus an interception by Glenn’s Paul Groves before either team could start a drive. Tnto n got momenteum going late in the p<-r. iod which moved for three first downs and to the Glenn 14 before the Falcon defense stopped them short of a crucial first down. It took only one play however, as a fumble by workhorse Mike Flaugher, was covered on the Falcon 23. Eric Gard ripped off 17 on the first play, but a first and goal from the six found four hard plays before Gard got it in from the one. Jim Augustine kicked the point and with just 5:39 left in the game, Triton had taken the lead 7-6.

A pa-s from Jay Scott to Micky Knepp provid'd the two point conversion and things looked in good shape until the kickoff Mike Lucas picked up the kick at his own 9 yard line and on an exciting play, rambled 91 yards for a Knox score. The quick explosion of this type put Knox right back in the game scoring wise even thongh they missed a try for two points on a run. It also provided some mental inspiration as the visitors from Starke County, seeking their second win of the year, took the lead in the second quarter as Wilbur Collins carried the ball in from the 3 for a go-ahead touchdown. Again a two point conversion try was stopped, but Knox enjoyed a 12-8 margin. The Shamrocks then came on strong as they started to put it all togeher, both on offense and defense. Dave Sheaks, one of the successful running backs for the Shamrocks, put 6 more points on the board to grab the lead in still the second period. He bulled over from a yard away and then ran another two point conversion in for a lead that was never again lost. This had the Sham, rocks on top at halftime, making the homecoming festivities more enjoyable. Both teams scored in the third period. North Liberty was first as Jay Scott ran a keeper in from one yard. Reeder ran the two point conversion and a 24-12 margin was enjoyed. However, Knox had one more scoring drive as Collins again broke into the pay dirt territory from 5 yards out. This time 1 Knox was sue. cessful on a two point try on a pass from Doug Small to Bruce Hagen. This kept the game in easy reach for the Redskins until two fourth quarter scores by the Shamrocks iced it up. Shcak« and Don Stull were the ball carrying scorers in the final period as Sheaks hustled over for a score from the 5 and Stull hit the end zone from the three Th" defense was playing a big part, e-pecially late in the game both containing Knox and forcing turnovers.
