Glenn Girls Top LaVille In First Tourney Contest I'he John Glenn girls basketball team opened defense of their LaVille Sectional title with a win over the host LaVille team 42-25. The game was not a well-played game as the Glenn girls were vers sluggish and only a very reluctant to sh<x>t LaVille team, even when they were down, and a big fourth quarter for the Lady Falcons made the difference in the victory. The win was the 14 against four losses for Glenn this season. The first quarter was a combination of lack-luster play and LaVille’s continued reluctance to shoot, whether or not they thought they could get better shots or they just didn't want to shoot. As it resulted it was a ho-hum period. Teresa Kemp opened the scoring with a right baseline shot of nine ftxit and then it was more than two minutes before anything happened and that was one of two free throws by Becky Gardner for LaVille. At the 2:35 mark a short shot by Carol Hosinski gave the LaVille gals a 3-2 lead, quickly erased by Tammy Tuttle's 13 footer. However. a good pass from Laurie

Gross to ( arol Hosinski was gixxl for a lay-in and the first quarter ended 5-4 LaVille. Points picked up slightly in the second stanza even though more than half the scoring was from the foul line. Gardner hit a lay-in from the lane area but Barb Mann canned an eight footer after more than two minutes had passed. Kemp hit from 15 to give Glenn the lead but Gardner got one of two free throws before Marv Huffstetter hit a pair of one-pointers in her first game in some three weeks. A single free shot by Kemp upped the lead to 11-8 but Gross swiped an errant Glenn pass for a solo lay-in and then hit two free throw s for the lead again in LaVille’s favor. In the final 1.53 luttle and Merrill Isenberg traded two free throws each keeping the Lancer gals in front 14-13 after a sluggish first half. I he Glenn girls tixik over in the early second half but not with their usualy flurry that dominates play. Scoring was still very slow. Sandy Lippert hit first for LaVille on a short baseline shot after 47 seconds had passed. An eternity then passed before Kemp finally hit for Glenn at the 4:45 mark and Huffstetter gave Glenn the lead with two baskets over a half minute period. Gardner cut the lead to 19-18 with a lay-in but Mann scored
a rebound basket and Debbie Miller a short side shot for a 23-18 lead with 2:04 left. A three point play by Liz Kowatch cut the lead to two. but Traci Florian hit from II hxit and Gross took a nice Isenberg feed for a lay-in at the 1:29 mark which ended the third quarter 25-23 in Glenn’s favor. Realistically the game was over early in the fourth quarter even though the score didn’t indicate it. But the continued non-shooting attack of LaVille’s didn't find them putting a ball up for several minutes despite the fact that Marv Huffstetter was to put on a brief scoring show of her own spread over half the quarter. She hit first from 14 fixit with half minute gone, then some 75 seconds later got a 9 footer to drop. Time had run dow n to 4:41 when she hit her third basket of the quarter, a 12 footer and the quarter was two seconds past half gone when her fourth swished through from 10 fixit on the right baseline. this was followed by an eight footer by Pam Aitken, a pair of free throws by Florian, then a Florian rebound basket and one of two more by Florian from the line before LaVille finally scored with 56 seconds left in the game. A lay-in by Jo Segraves at the buzzer onh determined the final margin. 42-25. Desipte the win. the Glenn girls just didn't display the usualb fire and smoothness they should have and need for another title. They advanced to Thursday nights semifinal round against Bremen, winners over North Liberty in the opening game of the tourney. Huffstetter topped all the scorers with 14 points as the combined 67 points don't spread too far between 14 girls who scored in this slow paced game.
