RICK HARDESTY’S SECOND SHOT FORCES OVERTIME AND VICTORY

Sophomore Rick Hardesty took a long step towards coming of age on the basketball floor Friday night as the s’B" guard put on the hero's crown in an exciting 63-58 John Glenn win over South Bend Clay. Hardesty, a starter on the varsity after playing freshman ball last year, scored the last five points of regulation time in a span of seven seconds to send the game into overtime and the Falcons went on to outscore their hosts 5-0 in the extra three minute period to account for the victory. After Clay's Tom Wehlage hit two free throws with 13 ticks left on the clock. Clay had assumed what appeared to be a safe 58-53 lead. But into the picture came Hardesty who joined senior Mike Arnett as the hero of the game to force the overtime. Hardesty hit a medium range shot with :07 showing on which he was fouled bv Wehlage. Rick then hit the free throw to pull Glenn within two points, but the Colonials had possession of the bail and the lead, and Falcon coach Gordon Mosson elected to use his last time out to put the game’s final plays into prospective. He informed the team to either steal the inbounds pass or commit an immediate foul to stop the clock. This they did. with just one second expiring after the officials ordered the time reset to :06 feeling the clock was allowed to run after the whisBrian Nemeth then missed the first of his one plus one attempt and young Hardesty brought the ball right down the middle as instructed l<x)king for either Arnett or Mark Jacobson on the wing, but being unable to find either open, he took the only other option and fired the ball at the basket from the top of the circle and it went cleanly through as the buzzer was buzzing to force the three minute extra peruxl. Clay gained possession of the tip and elected to run some time off the clock rather than attacking on offense. This didn't work out well at all as a traveling call at 1:32 put the ball into the Falcons hands. At the :49 second mark, after working the ball around. Jacobson was free for a short shot that he canned to give the Falcons their first lead since early in the second half. Another timeout by Clay found them returning to the court only to have another traveling call once again take the ball out of their hands. Glenn once more killed some time before Spencer Wilcox was fouled with just nine ticks left on the clock. The big senior hit the first of the one and one and once again it was Hardesty who grabbed the loose ball after the second shot and he was fouled at once. He made both ends of the free throw opportunities to ice the game up as Glenn recorded win number two in the young season 63-58. The loss was ( lay's second in two tries for the year. The early game was one of streaks as the host Clay team, behind the fine early play of sophomore Richard Southerland, who scored 12 first quarter points, took a lead by four. 18-14 after one period. However. Glenn, behind the steady play of Arnett, battled back in the second period and outscored the Colonials 12-6 in this eight minute stanza and enjoyed a slim 26-24 lead as the teams took the mid game break. In the opening early minutes of ’he third period, the Falcons still held the lead for a short time moving to a 29-26 lead before the Colonials really took charge of the game. They ran off a 12-2 streak over a few minute period to grab a 18-31 lead before the last couple of minutes of the quarter found the teams leveling off again and Clay was enjoying a 41-35 third quarter margin. Here is where Arnett really took charge of the comeback attempt.

He hit consistently and pulled the Falcons back into a 47 all tie with 4:46 left on the clock as he was turning in another fine shooting show. The Colonials, however, weren't about to roll over and play dead, and answered this comeback streak with a seven point string of their own over a three minute period to once again put Glenn in serious trouble with both the clock and the Colonials now their opponents. But one quality displayed in this relatively inexperienced Falcon team in the early season, the fact they won’t give up. weighed heavily in their favor here. Arnett hit the game's next three baskets while Clay was getting only a pair of free throws from Sutherland to set up the exciting and unforgetable final few seconds. Wehlage's free throws at the :I3 second mark were the next points to be scored before the heroics of Hardesty and Company finished this come from behind victory. Several factors led to the win. Glenn s ability from the free throw line was one. hitting 11 of 14 while the Colonials were hitting a very mediocre Bof 15. And the advantage in turnovers and a slight edge in shixiting outdone Clay's rebounding edge in this game. Arnett led all scorers with 29 points on 13 baskets and three of three from the line. He had double figure help from Hardesty with 13. and Jeff Fanslcr with 10. Fanslcr was a big factor in the game with his work underneath and scoring as he apparently is fully recovered from a deep thigh bruise suffered in the final fixitball game of the season. Clay was led by the talented Sutherland who had 23 points on some fine fhxir shixiting and three of six from the line. Jeff Zielinski was the only other double figure scorer with 10 points for the Colonials. B-Team Loses First Game The John Glenn junior varsity team was defeated by a strong Clav team. The young Falcons were outrebounded and could not keep up with Clas s fast break. Greg Dreessen led Glenn with II points and one blinked shot. Mark Cain scored six points and had four rebounds. Brett Gouker stole the ball four times and Darrin Fisher had two assistss. Clay controlled all parts of the game, especially the boards with 2b to Glenn's nine rebounds. Glenn also had more turnovers than Clay. The B Team record stands at 11 while Clav increased their record to 2-0.
