81-COUNTY TOURNEY BEGINS JANUARY 19

The IBth Bi-County Basketball Tournament will be held next week, starting Monday night at two sites with the B-Team and girls action and continuing every night next week with the boys varsity action starting Wednesday night at LaVillc High School. The John Glenn Falcons will meet New Prairie in the opening game of the annual clash to tip off what may just be the most balanced tourney to be held in several years. This year there are favorites, but even spreading of the better records and the fact that no one team is overly dominate, should lead to a great varsity meet. The complete line-up for the varsity teams is New Prairie and Glenn at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesay, January 19. with the Bremen Lions and Culver Cavaliers meeting in the second game, approximately 8:00 p.m. On Thursday night, the Argos Dragons and Culver Military Academy Eagles will meet in the 6:30 battle with Oregon-Davis and the host LaVille team bumping heads in the second contest that night. Action resumes on Friday night with the Wednesday winners the opponents in the first game, at 7:(X) p.m. on this night, with the Thursday night victors squaring off in the second game. This will take the varsity action down to two winners, the same place the B-Team and girls divisions will be by this time. Saturday night winds it all up. At 5:15 the B Team finals will be held at LaVille. with the Marshall County winner and the St. Joseph County division winners meeting for the B-Team title. The girls varsity teams will follow at approximately 6:30, the same format, the one advancing from each the Marshall and St. Joe county brackets fighting it out for the title. The 8:30 final game will wrap it up as the two Friday night varsity winners will square off for the 1983 title. B-Team & Giris Schedules The B-Team and girls preliminary rounds will be played at two sites. New Prairie hosting the St. Joseph County division, and Bremen the Marshall County division. The first round action is set to allow a fan of any school to see both their B Team and girls team in action for a gate price of SI.OO At New Prairie, Oregon Davis and New Prairie B-Teams will square off at 6:30 p.m. E.S.T. in one gym while at the same time the Glenn girls will be battling the LaVille girls in another gym. The second games the same night will feature the Glenn and LaVillc B Teams at the same site the first B-Team was played while the O-D girls will be battling New Prairie’s girls at the same time. The SI.OO ticket will get anyone into both sites with just a walk through the building to the other site. The same is true at Bremen where the B Team division will have Culver and Argos in the first game and CMA and Bremen in the second. The girls will be just reversed, the CMA and Bremen game first with Culver and Argos in the second contest. On Tuesday night, one gym will be used with 6:30 action featuring the B-Team winners of Monday night with the girls winners of Monday night meeting in the second game at each site. Again a SI.OO admission w ill be charged Looking at the varsity action, the teams could not have been seeded better according to records. And the fact that by the time the first round gets underway, each of the first round opponents will have previously played, adds another dimension to the tourney. In game one, Glenn has to be rated as perhaps a co-favorite in the tourney with Bremen. The Glenn team will have their hands full however, as they will meet the Cougars of New Prairie, a 51-50

I victim of the Falcons on December 10 in the Glenn gym. New Prairie i at this writing has a 3-7 overall record against some pretty good competition. Glenn is perfect at 7-0 but has not met the “meat” of their schedule to date as the first seven opponents to date have combined 22-44 record. This could develope into a real good game. The second game will pit the small, but speedy and very talented Bremen Lions against the improving Culver Cavaliers. Bremen, the defending champion in the tourney, a one-point winner over Glenn in last year’s finals, sports a current 9-1 record which includes some first class competition. The real strength of their record is in their schedule where their Northern Lakes Conference schedule has to be far and above the toughest in this tourney. They also were a big winner, scoring 103 points, in their first meeting with Culver which was very early in the season. Since then Culver has changed their style somewhat, and is playing a better brand of basketball despite having only a 2-6 current record. Thursday night the Argos Dragons. a 7-3 team at present, takes on Culver Military Academy, who is winless in the first half of their season. Argos easily dropped the Eagles last Saturday night in their first meeting and even though the Dragons do not have a high pow - cred offensive unit like some years past, defense and discipline are the two key ingredients in their seven wins this season. The final game will pit the host LaVille Lancers, a 2-4 team at this moment, against a fine OregonDavis team, now 9-1 on the year. Despite the difference in records. LaVille. w ho got a very slow start in both games played and practice time due to the football playoffs, appear to be coming on a little more as the season progresses. They also have played a couple pretty fair opponents, but are still basically a young, fairly inexperienced team at this moment. The Bobcats of Dan Warkentien, have a very fine 9-1 record, their lone loss coming at the hands of Glenn in a game where O-D could do nothing right in early December. They are a much better team than they showed that night and could be a real strong contender for the title in this meet. This game does have one drawback however, that being the two teams will play each other this weekend, making two battles with each other within a few days, not what the coaches would really like. The spreading of the better records, if form holds true, should make some great match-ups after the initial round. Glenn. 7-0, and Bremen. 9-1, probably the co-fav-orites in about all minds, could meet Friday, and Argos, 7-3, and O D. 9-1. could be the participants in the second Friday game. If a first round upset does put another team in Friday's play, it will only be through a good effort which would gain much respect for that club’s chances as well. All in all. it should be another good meet. The tickets for the entire tourney are $6.00. this includes all four sessions and games at LaVille. A single session ticket at the door is $2.50 per session. Seats are not reserved. but sections will be indicated each night for the four competing teams w ith the other schools expected to fill in above and around the competing school’s sections. The John Glenn ticket sales information is listed elsewhere in this issue. But once again, this promises to be one of the best values in high school basketball and should be a tremendous tourney Wednesday through Saturday at LaVille High School. Winter driving presents Surprises.
