Falcons Nip Triton 49-46 Friday Night The John Glenn Falcons returned to action after a four-week absence due to the holiday break and a weather-postponed game the week before, to top Triton, the team they had last played before the big break. In fact, both Glenn and Triton had four solid weeks of inactivity as far as game play goes and the Falcons redeemed the earlier loss in the Culver Holiday Tourney with a 49-4 b victory Friday night at the Glenn gym. Triton, a short-handed team with only eight boys dressed, and one of those with some B-Team time in making him eligible for only part of a game, certainly didn't want to get in a transition and running game with the much larger and deeper Falcons. They were able to control the tempo all the way, whether it was coach Jim Waller's decision to go along with this or just the effectiveness of the Triton discipline and hard-nosed man-to-man defense. isn't known, but the visiting Trojans did control the tempo from start to finish. The win was Glenn's fourth in just six outings this season as they have an extremely heavy schedule from here on out. Fot the losers it was their sixth loss in 10 starts this year, their last game also that victory of Glenn at the Culver tourney. The Falcons looked to have things pretty well under control early as the patient Trojans, even though getting the ball pretty well inside, were not hitting to start the game. Jeff Tinkey got the game's first basket on a tip-in and Joe Harness hit next for Glenn on a short shot from the lane. After

Jeff Stouder collected Triton s first basket after almost two minutes had passed. Harness hit again from in close and Triton’s 5'6" forward. Jay Montalbano, hit one from medium depth on the left baseline. However. Tinkey and Jim Dreessen hit back-to-back and it was 10-4 Glenn, a lead which they not only protected for the second half of the quarter, but increased one point to a 16-9 first quarter advantage. The Falcons upped this lead to 10 points twice in the early second period as the pace was still controlled by the visitors who were working hard to get the ball inside and also holding the Falcons pretty well at bay with their hard-nosed defense. Phil Groves hit first, a shot from the left corner on which he was fouled and he converted the third point for a 19-9 lead. Stouder hit again for Triton, but Harness came back with another inclose shot to keep the lead at 10. The Trojans weren't about to give up however, and Curt Anders first hit a three point play on a 14 foot jumper and foul and then got a lav-in from the side to get five unanswered points. After Groves tickled the twine from nine feet, Brett Welty hit first on two free throws and then Tim Smith canned a lay-in on which he was fouled to make this another successful threepointer. Mike Elkin upped the lead to four again with a pair of one-pointers, and after Smith hit a long lay-in. Harness ended the first half scoring with four straight free throws in the final 1:15 to make it 29-23 at halftime. The third quarter found the Falcons losing the lead and having a very cold period. However, they were able to overcome this later in the game and hold on for the win. Anders scored first on a turnaround lay-in and then Welty hit from under. Anders tied the score with a shot from the right corner

and after just over three minutes had passed. Tinkey got Glenn's first points of the second half with a rebound lay-in. Triton continued to dominate however, as Stouder hit one of two from the charity line and then Anders and Stouder hit back-to-back from in close for a 34-31 lead. This last basket came with 3:56 to play in the third quarter and was to be the final points scored by Triton in this period. Elkin hit first a bank shot from the lane 10 foot out and then a tip-in at the 1:41 mark to end the third period scoring with Glenn back in the lead 35-34. The final stanza found the first four baskets changing the lead with each score. Anders hit first from seven foot out in the lane. Tinkey then popped an 11 foot jumper but Welty came back with a lay-in. Elkin tallied a medium length baseline shot at the 4:30 mark to give Glenn a lead they never lost. A basket by Harness after Triton had missed both ends of a two shot foul, pulled the Falcons ahead by three, and after a glaring mistaken double dribble call that took the ball out of Jeff Deaton’s hands. Harness got another from 18 foot to make it 45-40 The Trojans pulled back within two twice in the final minute with Deaton’s five footer making it 46-44 with 48 seconds left, but Elkin came right back as Glenn beat the pressure to get a solo lay-in. A baseline jumper by Anders with :10 showing was followed by a Triton time out. but they had to foul to try for possession and Mike Arnett hit the first of a onc-and-one to ice it up and then killed the remaining time when the long rebound came back to him. Harness led the Falcons in scoring with 18 points on seven baskets and four from the line. Elkin, coming off the bench in this game, hit 11 for Glenn’s other double figure total. Triton was led by Anders with 15 while Welty and Stouder had 11 each for the losers.

In all 12 boys scored for coach Gordon Mosson as all 14 got placing time in and contributed in one way or another.
