THE INDEPENDENT-NEWS — JANUARY 27. 1903

Falcons Win (continued from page 1) take a SO-46 lead before Dennis Cooper broke the seven-and-a-half minute dry spell with a 13 foot jumper. In this time, with defense the key. Glenn regrouped on offense as well and with Scott Pontius getting seven of the 15 points which five Falcons shared, the Falcons were not only back in the game, but in command until the almost unbelieveable finish follow ed The Bobcats had pretty well controlled the game to this point with a fine game plan that featured a box and one zone defense to try and neutralize the floor shooting of Mike Arnett, plus some g<xxi offensive plas spearheaded by the great plav of Cooper. It had worked to this point. The Bobcats scored first on a lay-in by James Egger on which he was guilty of a charge, but Pontius quickly tied the score on Egger’s second foul, but Scott missed the chance for a three-pointer on the rebound shot he made. OregonDavis then ran 10 straight points, eight by Cooper. to take a 12-2 lead, and they moved from here to an 18-12 first period lead with only a five point surge by Pontius late in the quarter getting Glenn this close. After cutting the lead to two on back-to-back baskets by Arnett and Jacobson to start the second period. the Cats came back with two single free throws by Egger sandwiched around a pair by Scott Budka and then a rebound basket b\ David Quick to move ahead by eight again 24-16. From here the teams basically traded points until Quick got a nice Budka pass for a lay-in with 59 ticks left on the clock and then was fouled and hit both ends for a 34-24 halftime lead. This called for some decisions to be made by both coaches at halftime as Mosson definitely had some problems to overcome and Warkentien was forced to also regroup slightly as Egger had collected four first half personals. He opted to go w ith a smaller lineup in the second half, three guards, w hich proved to be great for a while but did really hamper the Cats on the boards. After O-D held their own in the first half, the Falcons were able to easily dominate the rebounding in the second half, a key to their comeback win. Carmichael was the only Bobcat to score in the third quarter and he was perfect with six for six, including the first two baskets of the last half to make the lead 14 points. 38-24. before the Falcons answered with five of their own. Jeff Fansler replaced Jacobson as a defensive move as Mark just isn't used to guarding out front with a quicker guard like Carmichael. With Arnett. while held quiet on offense, doing a great job on Cooper after his first quarter blitz, and Rick Hardesty on Jeff Peansh. the addition of Fansler neutralized the three guard offense and set up the Falcons comeback and OregonDavis simply went cold with what shots they could get in this stretch. After Cooper’s basket broke the dry spell. Quick hit one of two from the line, but Pontius and Arnett each hit the first of two free throws for a 52-49 lead as time was a real factor. On the foul that sent Pontius to the line for a one-and-one, it was Egger's fifth, and the only blemish to the game happened here w hen a technical was called on Egger for not leaving the floor promptly, a new rule as explained by referee. Nothing was said. Egger just stood on the edge of the floor waiting for his replacement to be sent in while coach Warkentien was giving him final instructions. It is strongly felt here this never should have been called, maybe a warning issued, but certainly this put a damper on a fine basketball game that made an official more the center of attention than the boys who were working so hard As it resulted, the Falcons only

turned two of the four free throws and Arnett was awarded two on the technical, but it had to change the strategy and play of the game after this ridiculous call. Carmichael followed some 55 seconds later with a 14 footer, but the Falcons were able to kill a lot of time and when Hardesty was fouled by Quick w ith just :12 show - ing, it appeared it would be all over when the sophomore guard found, nothing but net with both attemps to make it 54-51. Cooper was basically allowed to score uncontested as time was running low and his lay-in with :05 left was followed with an immediate O-D time out. Glenn put the ball in play and immediately another intentional foul was called sending Pontius to the line with just four ticks left on the clock. He calmly hit the first and with no Falcons on the lane, but gathered in the O-D front court, the second shot was missed and Budka grabbed the rebound. fed it to Cooper who moved almost to mid-court and let one fly as the time was running out. It found nothing but net and all of a sudden the apparent Falcon victory lead vanished as the scoreboard showed all five’s. 55-55 with time expired. The shot had come in the big center circle, just behind the mid-court line. O-D controlled the tip and held the ball for some 34 seconds before Pearish was fouled. He hit the first, missed the second and more than a minute passed before the Bobcats got the ball again on a rebound of a missed lay-in that could have put Glenn up by one. Quick went to the other end of the floor and hit 1 of 2. increasing the lead to 57-55 with 1:09 left. The Falcons were then having trouble getting the bail in for a good percentage shot and it was getting close to the end w hen Hardesty was fouled by Cooper some 25 foot from the basket as he started a move. He made them both with :16 showing. knotting the score, and O-D set up for the final shot. However, the Falcon defense didn't allow any penetration and Cooper let a 23 footer fly as time was running out that hit the back of the rim and bounced high and away, sending the game into one more overtime. The Cats again got the tip and Cooper was fouled immediately by Hardesty. Just two seconds had passed when he hit only the first, but nothing really developed until Hardesty got a pass inside to Jacobson in the lane just under the two minute mark for a little turn around jumper for what was to be the game winning basket. The Bobcats then played for the one good shot if it came, which it didn’t as the defense kept them well away from the basket. Taking a time out with 29 seconds left to play, they set up their plan, but once again the Falcon defense forced them to stay way outside and with time really running out, an attempted pass to Cooper for another chance at a miracle, was grabbed by Hardesty, who quickly dribbled away from the Bobcats and time ran out in this most thrilling of final games perhaps in the history of the Bi-County. Pontius led all scorers with 23 points and he also was the game’s leading rebounder. He did only convert 7 of 14. but exhaustion had to have an effect on free throw shooting in this game as both teams missed many opportunities, not characteristic of their normal shooting. No other Falcon hit double figures but everyone of the seven who played contributed in one way or another. Cooper finished a fine tourney with 19 points, 62 in the three rough games in three staright nights for the Cats. He had double figure help from Carmichael with 14 and Quick with 10.
