Action A-Plenty As Jimtown Edges Falcons When one talks about "peaks and valleys'’ in a sporting event, they just "ain't seen nothin' yet" unless they seen the Glenn and Jimtown basketball game Friday night. Maybe (he inconsistency of high school players, the ups and downs they go through, is what makes high school ball so interesting despite the quality of the play. Friday night's game was certainly interesting and exciting and it also certainly wasn't all that well played. However, going through these "peaks and valleys" by both teams kept the fan interest of the small crowd at fever pitch for most of the game. The final result was Jimtown 75, Glenn 72 in a Northern State Conference game that found the Jimmies winning their first conference game in four starts while Glenn’s record in conference play slipped to a 1-4 conference mark and 3-9 overall. The game opened with Glenn putting on the worst show possible for a while. You could take bad hall and magnifv it two times over, throw in some poor shooting and not always the best shot selection and you have the Falcons’ first four and a half minutes. The result. Jimtown 16, Glenn 0. before Terry Anspaugh batted in a tip attemp* that finally dropped through with 3:12 showing on the clock. Then take about the same situation for Jimtown as play turned around 100 per cent and the first thing you know Glenn was back in the game, in fact knotting the score just before halftime. After Anspaugh's opening tip. Brian Parker hit a lay in. Anspaugh a solo lay-in after a Jimmie error and after center Arden Hershberger hit, Anspaugh hit his third basket of the game as he was playing inside against the hmtown zone and it seemed to his liking in this ballgame. A three P>int play by Eric Ott made it 21 8 hmtown after the first period. Keith Kinder opened the second quarter with a lay in for the Jimmies as they had been able early in the game to go through the Glenn defense almost at will, but this was the result of not play ing defense on the opening tip and Kinder’s lay-in was a solo job. Anspaugh hit again, this time from the left orner. but the Jimtown scoring machine. Iroy Neely, hit one of two bom the line. Brad Kaser pegged m a short baseline jumper only to have Kevin Miller swish a lb footer to make it 2b 12 with 6:56 left in the half. I his time was significant as the Jimmies were to go as cold as Glenn had been early in the game •nd the falcons came storming ack and only their own inability to 'invert free throws kept them from •king the lead in this stretch Mike Elkin hit one of two from he 15 foot line and then he ended tp with a ball all by himself and •n easy lay-in. In a space of 25 H-conds starting at the 5:08 mark, he Falcons had a chance to make >ght points from the free throw oie. converting only three with <>io efforts by Craig Ochs twice •'id Kaser with the front of a me and-one missed also in this •me as fouls were being whistled '•‘M and furious against a now very nistrated Jimtow n team that prob•hly felt like they couldn’t move at dl without a damaging whistle, •dd to this the fact that Kevin (continued on page 2)
