A short shot by Zacherv was followed by two more one pointers bv luttle and after Dave Powers hit from 12 tcx»t on the side. Mcxirc hit two in a row from about the same spot, lb foot away, for Glenn's first lead in the game. Scott Remholt put a rebound back up and in, but Vancza got two more from the now verv friendly foul stripe. Zacherv matched this and then pushed the visitors back in front with an 8 footer in the lane. After Vancza tied it again with a lay in. Reinholt and Rogers scored back-to-back to make it 39-35 at halftime. The third quarter was truly the turning point of the game. Despite the fact the Falcons only made two free throws this quarter, the fouls United against Knox were crucial. They lost one starter. Walters, before the quarter had gone halfway and were to suffer more foul problems as the game progressed. And this all came against a team that is not likely to draw a lot of fouls as they don't penetrate well on offense or usually even try it. As many fouls were called on the questionable plays as were on what was normal plays and the pattern was all in Glenn's favor. Zacherv hit first on a rebound shot from the right baseline, but the Moore popped one from lb foot. Muncie found the basket from the left baseline deep, luttle tied it with a steal of an inbounds pass and a lay-in and Moore pushed Glenn ahead with a 17 footer. After Knox did managed one basket on a lay-in by Walters, I utile hit a medium range baseline jumper, Muncie a rebound lay-in on which he was fouled and

turned into three points. Moore from the corner, luttle on a fast break lav in and Moore hit one of two from lilt line to complete a stringot lb points while a fiustrat cd Knox team was getting only one basket and enough whistles to make them wonder what they could do However, don t feel sorrv for the Redskins at this point, they were to display a lot of class and baskets bv Reinholt anti Bradley, two sophomores, in the final 44 cut the lead to 53 4 7 heading into the final stanza I his lead was whittled to four on a lav m by Rogers, but enter on the offensive scene, Ochs, whose only basket ot the night was the strange goal tending early in the first quarter. With things getting a little sticks, Ochs managed to free himself and really for the first time in the game get into the offensive flow He hit three lane shots in a row from five to 11 feel while Knox was picking up a single free throw by Zacherv and the lead was the before mentioned 59-50 with b: 14 left. Then came the collapse. Jim C ondon hit one of two from the line and Bradley hit a driving shot in the lane. Ochs made two free shots with 5:07 showing on the clock but tor the next four minutes only Zacherv was to score as he put on a real clutch performance despite some double and triple teaming. It was a short shot right away, then after more than a minute passed, he hit a reverse lay-in using the basket to ward off three defenders underneath. Another minute passed and he flipped a little baseline shot in and with one more minute passing first, a steal and a solo lay-in at the 1:33 mark tied it at bl. After the Falcons gave the ball up on a missed shot, Rogers was fouled but missed the first of the one and one. A foul was called on the rebound basket that Zachery was able to get but despite putting Knox in front with this key play, he missed the potential third point. Another foul was called on the rebound, this one sending Muncie to the line. He hit one of two and Knox gained possession. Iwenty precious seconds passed before Zacherv broke out of a pack of pressure defense and scored another lay-in, once again to be fouled. However, he again missed the third point which would have put the Redskins four points up. It was only obvious the way the

play had been going it had to be Ochs and he was fouled with :41 showing and hit both ends of the situation cutting the lead to one. A wild scramble with a lot of contact came at the 28 second mark and a jump ball resulted which the Falcons gained possession. After a time out they moved Moore around the right side deep and away from the ball a foul was called that once again sent Ochs to the line with :11 seconds left. After a Knox timeout, the Glenn junior calmly hit the two points that wrapped up the victory after a loose ball and scramble near midcourt took all the chance Knox had of scoring away as the Falcons picked up the loose ball just before the final buzzer. Zachery led all scorers with 27 points as he was clearly the best all round player on the court. He had 11 baskets and five from the line and only missing a few free throws took away from his performance as he also assisted in fighting the Falcon press, rebounded well and simply had to go it about alone after two Knox starters fouled out. Rogers ended with 14 and Bradley 10. all on baskets for the losers. A 21 point total by Tom Moore, again mostly from the outside, paced the Falcon scoring with Tuttle chipping in lb and Ochs 14. Ochs had 12 of Glenn's 13 last quarter points as he again proved to be the real pressure man for Glenn.
