Metzger canned a 10 footer and Ryan hit another short baseline shot and Glenn led 10-6 after one quarter. Huffstetter doubled the score on Argos with a seven footer as the second quarter began but Argos came back with five points in a row. as Metzger hit first, then Bert Thompson, both from further out and then Metzger got one of two free throws to drop. Huffstetter broke this string with a 20 footer from over the Argos defense, but Arick hit from the baseline and Sally Thompson hit one of two from the line to tie the score again. Ryan got the game’s next two baskets, coming over a minute apart. Bert Thompson hit from the lane but Barb Mann got a rebound back up and in. Bert Thompson's one of two from the line with 49 left in the half ended the scoring with Glenn holding a 20-17 lead at the main intermission. The second half was tight all the way until the last few minutes. The Argos team took the lead as play unfolded before Glenn could score. Sally Thompson hit the second of two free throw s and then Metzger got both ends of a two shot foul to drop. Bert Thompson canned a lane shot to give the lead to Argos and Glenn’s first points didn't come until the quarter was about half over when Gardner made a lay-in moving to the basket from the baseline.

Sally Thompson got a lay-in to fall taking a nice pass from sister Bert.
