CONCORD JUST TOO MUCH FOR GLENN IN FINAL GAME A 6’ jumping jack, Jeff Massey, coupled with a hustling all-round team and a fatique factor all joined together to put an end to a great basketall season for the John Glenn Falcons Saturday night as the Concord Minutemen, runners-up in the state two of the last three yean, won a 65-50 decision over Gordon Mos son’s Falcons. The game, although not a run-away, wasn’t really contested much after halftime as Glenn just ran out of gas and Concord just kept rolling •long. Massey, supposedly headed for Bowling Green University, put in shot after shot, mostly from in dose and included at least five dunks in his night’s work to top all scorers with 25 points. The Falcons just didn’t have anyone who could match up to Massey as the Concord team has a lot of speed and quickness and great jumping ability *1-

though not very big. Massey time and time again got the big basket P and when he stuffs those two-hand-ed shots down through coming P down the baseline, it not only turns on the Concord team and crowd, it intimidates the opponent as well. Glenn bowed out after a fine season with a 20-5 record that induded a share of the Northern State Conference title, a Bi-County crown and their second Sectional title in three years. This is the first time since 1985 that a Plymouth Sectional winner had advanced even one game at Elkhart. It will just remain to be seen where and what lies ahead in future years as sectional re-alignment is scheduled to be announced in a few weeks as a renovation of the sectionals throughout the state will definately change a lot of things in our area. Whether or not Glenn will be affected remains to be seen, but no sectional will have over six teams in the future, this means re-aligning a lot of meets in this area. The Falcons struck first in this game, again played before a sold out house in the 7,373 seat Elkhart gymnasium. Rick O’Connor, the real leader of the Falcons, canned a three pointer after more than two minutes had elapsed. The Minutemen came back with dose-in bask i ets by Shane Bechtel and Massey. Dan Huizenga canned an 8 footer i but the Concord team came back 1 with a three-pointer by Donny Hackworth on a lay-in and a foul and then three straight baskets by 1 Massey. Huizenga and O’Connor each got two more points and Mike Swanson hit one of two from the

line to give the Minutemen a 14-9 first period lead. The Falcons pulled within one as Huizenga and Kevin Stedman hit from medium range but Concord then put together three baskets in the short time of 18 seconds thanks to two steals off the press and Massey’s dunk with 6:33 showing on the clock in the first half made it quickly 20-13. However, the Falcons battled even with the Minutemen the rest of the half and trailed 32-25 at the main intermission. The second half opened with Huizenga getting a pair of free throws and then freshman Toby Gardner hit a short baseline shot to cut the lead to 32-29. However, at this point, Concord went on an eight point run while Glenn was not scoring over a three minute period and opened a 40-29 lead before Kevin Winger broke the string with a free throw. Two more baskets by the Elkhart County crew followed and they then easily coasted to a 55-37 lead after three quarters. The Falcons certainly didn’t quit, but the spring seemed to be gone from the legs and they just couldn't match up to the Concord team who seemed to have a very determined goal in mind, to continue one more year of going on down state. The pace slowed down in the fourth quarter as Concord was content to run some time and not really push hard in the final stanza. This led to a fairly low scoring final period but did not turn into a foul shooting contest as so many games do. It was a credit to both teams and coaches as both emptied the bench and let all their players get a little game time in. The final was 65-50. For the winners it was Massey with 25 on a dozen baskets and one of one from the line. He had double figure help from Bechtel •nd good balance behind although the totals weren’t high. O’Connor ended a great career that found him moving into the starting lineup in his sophomore year as Glenn won their first sectional crown, as he had 16 points. Huizenga, a late bloomer but very steady player in recent weeks, reached double figures with 10. Last Game Fee 6 Seniors This was the final home game for six John Glenn seniors. Kevin Winger.
