Lady Falcons Win Fourth In A Row At O-D The John Glenn girls basketball team won their fourth straight victory Tuesday night in a game played al Oregon-Davi*. The 4742 victory found the Lady Falcon* using a pressure defense that caused a lot of turnovers and was the deciding factor In the game although the Glenn girls didn't take advantage of the O-D mistakes a* well as coach Barh Osowskl would huve liked. The Lady Falcons fell behind 10-H In the first period, but then the pressure defense turned It around, Forcing 39 turnovers In all. the Glenn team outscored the Lady Bobcats 18-12 In the second period to take a lead they never lost. It was 26-22 at halftime. The game remained fairly close the rest of the way, but O-D could never overtake the Glenn girl* as they moved on to keep their record perfect this year. Tammy Tuttle had 14 points, all on baskets, to lead Glenn and Patti Farrar had 10 to be the only other Glenn player In double figure*. Carla Shore* took game scoring honor* with 24 points on 11 basket* and two of four from the free throw line. Pum Aitken was Glenn'* leading rebounder with II while Trad Florian passed out six assists, B-Team Lose* Fourth Straight The Glenn B-Tcam lost their fourth straight game of the season by a 32 15 score to the O-D reserves, Bos Score John Glenn fg ft fla p Aitken 4 0 14 Tuttle 7 0 0 0 Pavcy 3 0 0 3 Farrar 5021 Floria it 3 12 1 Peacock 1002 Miller 0 0 0 I 101 AIS 23 I 5 12 Oregon - Da *l* Gouker 2 0 0 2 Hin/ 3 2 4 0 Shores II 2 4 0 Hancock 12 2 2 Mclntire 1 0 0 3 Fmclv 0 0 0 0 (‘armcan 0 0 10 TOTALS 18 6 10 7 Score By Quarter* John Glenn 8 2b 38 47 Oregon-Davis 10 22 30 42 F alcana Fall In Squeaker 55-57 At Clay Friday The John Glenn Falcon* traveled to Clay High School Friday night and had a very good, close fought game with a young Colonial team that found both team* playing rather conservative basketball. A couple of spurt* by the host Colonials In the second half after an extremely close first half, pulled them to a close 55-81 victory in their season opener, The loss wa» Glenn's first after an opening win the week before over Morgan Township. Clay. one of the stronger area teams last year but with no starter* back, put a good si/cd squad on the fkvor that didn't have very much varsity experience Glenn’s still underclass dominated team, despite three returning starter* and six lettermen overall, just couldn't cope with the smoothness thr Colonial* displayed In their opening game, their sice and •lightly quicker team. You couldn't write a script any closer than the first half. It was

nip and luck all the way with the lead changing hand* on almost every score. The Falcons did manage to pull ahead by one. 13-12. after the first quarter, and the second period was almost entirely an exchange of points for points, With neither team able to score a couple baskets In a row and mistakes at a minimum after the opening few minute*, the play was more deliberate trying for the good shots and reflecting the job the various defense* were doing, Joe Harness popped a basket just before halftime to again give the Falcon* the lead at a quarter mark. Thin time It waa 29-26. Clay changed defense* at halftime and thin caused the Falcons to falter a little before breaking the ice. Meanwhile the Colonials ran off the first six points before Brian Parker finally got Glenn on the board after almost half the third quarter was gone a* he hit a free throw. The two teams then went Into their trading again until the Falcons finally pul together a six point spurt of their own, with Zane Hathaway's basket putting them ahead 40-39 only to have Steve Smith hit for the Colonial* in the dying second* to make It 41-40 Clay after three. The Colonials then took charge of the game as they scored the first six point* of the final stanxa and after the two team* traded basket*, they moved on ahead to a 99-46 lead a* the clock was really against the Falcon*. The Colonial defense was denying Glenn many good shot* and the Falcon* were reluctcnt to shoot from out, leading to the rapid loss of time. A* the Clay team managed to pull to this nine point margin, the time also managed to slip to about one minute before a late fiurry by the Falcons found them getting the last five points of the game to set the final score al 55-81. Sophomore guard Hathaway was the game's leading scorer as the young Falcon has taken on a lot of scoring In addition to running coach Jim Waller's offense. He totaled five baskets anil four of four from the line. Good balance followed Hathaway's total as Mike Elkin hud 11. Jeff Tlnkey 10 and Harness nine. There just wasn't enough Falcons chipping in to off. set the eight Colonial scorers who spill up their 88 points well headed bv their two big guvs. John Meyer and Brian Guv with 12 and II while Smith added 10, Clay made 25 basket* to the Falcons' 19, but Glenn outscored them from the line 13-5 a* Clay's deliberate stvle didn't earn them a chance al the line until the second half. B-Team Edged Out Also The John Glenn B-Team also was a four polni loser as they dropped their first decision after an opening win. The final score wa* 42-38 with Clay again having good balance down (he lineup while Wade Boise and Mike Arnett were high for Glenn and the game with 14 and 13 respectively.
