Argos Outclasses Shamrocks For 10th Straight The undefeated Argos Dragons proved to be too much for the North Liberty Shamrocks tn their first game after the holiday tourney and vacation. The Dragons picked up their tenth win of the season without a loss by an 84-62 score as they handed the Shamrocks their seventh loss tn eight starts this season. The Dragons had too much balance and too much Bill O'Dell as the senior center sparked the winners with both his scoring and rebounding. The Dragons battled to the front in the opening period and grabbed a lead on a big and fast-paced scoring first quarter 29-20. They extended this lead slightly in the second period while keeping action moving and scoring fast. By the main intermission the host Dragons had increased their lead to 47-33 as the 80 point combined first half displayed how the game was being played. It was really decided at this time as the smooth Dragons, though not always maintaining the rapid pace of the first half, just didn't have any bad streaks and despite the efforts of the Shamrocks, they were about to catch the front-running Argos team. By the end of the third quarter the Shamrocks had managed to shave just one point off the lead and trailed 62-49. However. the Dragons still didn’t let up and poured in another 22 points in the final stanza to wrap up the 84-62 victory.
