ENGAGED y T J ta The engagement of Teresa Ann to Mark Alan Smith is announced by their parents. Mr. and Mrs. Harold Tuttle, Walkerton; Edward Erickson, Plymouth; and Mr. and Mrs. Ben Smith, Plymouth. The bride-elect will graduate from John Glenn High School, Walkerton, in May and her fiance graduated from John Glenn High School in 1976. A September wedding is being planned. Shamrocks Hand Glenn A 72-63 Tourney Loss The North Liberty Shamrocks gained a bit of revenge and moved into the semi-final round of the 1978 Bi-County Tourney Wednesday night as they handed the John Glenn Falcons a 72-63 loss in the second game. The Shamrocks, still smarting from an eight point loss to the Falcons the previous Friday night in a game they controlled early but let get away from them, never trailed Glenn and only once, at 2-2 was the score tied. The victory was the third in nine games for North Liberty this year and the loss let the Falcons slip to 2-11 in addition to dropping them from the tourney in their attempts to defend their 1977 crown. Most fans were probably expecting to see a "shoot out" between the most recent scoring terror in the area, Bruce Griffey, who totaled no less than 75 points in back-to-back nights the previous week end, and Glenn’s 6'9" center, Scott Doll. However, this did not materialize. Doll did get his average plus, getting 21 points from the inside where he had at least a six inch advantage over his defenders, but Griffey suffered that big letdown that had to come sooner or later, got into foul trouble

and finally ended with only eight points in just slightly over half a game playing time before leaving via the five foul route. However, the balance of scoring and the return to consistent point getting by senior Bob Downs was the difference in the game. The two teams started out rather passively, at least it appeared that way after the very exciting finish to the double overtime Bremen and LaVille game which really had the crowd excited. Some cool shooting plus quite a few turnovers, took the zip out of the action as the crowd had been so keyed up in the first game. Dave Reed, now playing the best ball of his career, opened the scoring with a short side shot and Mike Dreessen knotted the count about a minute later with a short side shot after grabbing an offensive rebound. However, the Falcons, mainly due to turnovers, weren't to score a point of any kind for over four minutes and the Shamrocks, not exactly burning the nets themselves, managed to pick up baskets by Reed, John Gouker and then Reed again for an 8-2 lead before Doll got his first points on a lay-in with only 2:27 left in the initial stanza. Griffey did manage two baskets with Dreessen sandwiching one in between and Doll hit one of two from the 15 foot line to make it 12-7 after one unexciting quarter of play. Action did pick up some in the next period as the slow scoring pace just couldn’t last as the floor pace wasn’t slow by any means. Dreessen started the with one of two free throws and Doll was next, getting two charity pitches to fall. All this time another Glenn field goal drought was in the making and Dow ns entered the game to replace Todd Allsop, once again in foul trouble, and he put some threat into the Shamrock attack with his outside shooting. He hit first, then Reed, Griffey and Downs again as the Shamrocks had jumped to a 20-10 lead before Kris Tuttle bagged a long baseline shot with 4:56 left in the half for only the fourth basket of the game for Glenn. Reed got a lay-in as the Shamrocks beat Glenn’s press, but Doll canned a short lane shot. Downs tickled the twine from 18 foot and Griffey was on the front end of a fast break for a 26-14 lead. Doll hit again from under and on successive opportunities at the foul line, Reed and Criag Ochs hit two free throws for their respective teams only to have the second ones nullified on both occasions by teammates being in the lane too quickly. Reed then connected on a 17 footer but Ochs came back with a three-point play on a short shot and free throw and then he hit a driving shot from in close to cut the lead to seven. Gene Davis got his first basket of

the night on a second effort rebound lay-in with just :09 showing on the clock to set the halftime score at North Liberty 31, John Glenn 22. The third quarter was one of trading points, that is until a quick five point burst by the Shamrocks late in the quarter opened their lead to 14 points. Doll started the half with another short one but Davis was true from long range on the left baseline. Doll hit one of two from the line, but Greg Weiss popped a 12 footer. Ochs hit a technical free throw after the Shamrocks were penalized for having six players on the floor but Davis answered this with a corner shot. Dreessen got a short shot in for Glenn and after Downs flipped a 12 footer in, Tom Moore got his first points of the night on a medium range jumper with just 2:14 left in the third quarter. Allsop took a nice feed from Gouker the next time down the floor for a lay-in and then after a brief lull in scoring, Dow ns hit one of two free throws and Davis got both ends of a two shot violation to drop for the 44-30 lead. Doll hit from medium range on the baseline. but Reed tallied one of two from the line in the closing seconds to make it 45-32 after three. The fourth quarter had most of the action of the night even though a lot of it ended up at the free throw lines. Ochs started the final stanza with a short shot in the foul lane but Griffey, back in the line-up after setting out more than a quarter with three fouls, hit two free shots. Jeff Stratford intercepted a pass for Glenn and drove three-fourths the length of the court for a lay-in. However, a fast break the other way ended up with Davis tallying from under and he was fouled. He failed to make the third point and Moore was next to score, getting the second of two shots to drop from the line. Reed spun off a low post as the Shamrrocks again beat the Falcon press, to get an easy lay-in but Ed Beasley fired in an eight footer and Moore canned another from the lane area to make it 51-41 with 5:21 left in the game. A minute passed before either team could score again and the Falcons, if they were to have any chance of catching up, couldn't let time pass too freely. After Allsop hit from under, Doll came right back with another lay-in, this one after a nice feed from Moore. However, right down the floor went the Shamrocks and Reed matched the Falcons points with a lay-in of his own. Moore popped another 12 footer, but Davis got a big play for the Shamrocks when his second and third effort under-

neath paid off with a basket and a free throw to open a 13 point margin once again. By this time only 3:27 remained, a big task for any team to achieve to overtake a deficit like that in such short time. Ochs was first, a pair of free throws. However, Davis, on a Gouker assist, laid in another and after a steal of the ball, Downs was fouled and converted both ends of the shots for a 62-47 lead. This, for all practical purposes, ended the game despite a Falcon flurry a little later that netted nine points to the Shamrocks two, but the damage had been done. Doll hit a lay-in and after a fast foul sent Downs to the line again where he made one of two. Ochs hit first on a lay-in from the side and then added another on a fast break. Davis was fouled for two free shots which were good, but Beasley matched this and then upon being fouled again, hit one of two only to have Doll put the missed second shot back up and in cutting the lead to seven, 65-58. with 1:21 left in the game. From here it was all free throws, seven by the Shamrocks including six for six by Downs, to three by Glenn plus a last second lay-in by Steve Hardesty to set the final margin of 72-63. The winners had four players in double figures with Reed and
