Lady Falcons Fall In IHSAA Sectional Opener The John Glenn Falcons were eliminated in first round play of the LaVille IHSAA girls sectional basketball tournament Wednesday night by eventual champion South Bend Washington, 43-16. The much smaller and inexperienced Falcons used a slowdown offense to try to control the tall and talented Panthers. Coach Scott Hostetler’s quintet was without leading scorer Michele Knepp due to a stomach ailment and none of his players had any previous sectional tournament experience. The slower pace worked well throughout the first period as the Falcons kept their opponents off balance as the quarter ended with Washington holding a 2-0 edge. Tracey Legge got the lone local field goal in the first half on a rebound shot to cut the Panthers’ lead to 6-2. The winners then broke loose for an eight-point run to take a 14-2 lead at the intermission. Washington’s six-foot senior center, Charmonique Stallworth, was the offensive show of the third stanza. The Panther accounted for 10 of her team's 12 points in that quarter, many on coast to coast layups. One bright spot for the locals in the contest was that 75 percent of the Falcon scoring came from freshmen Legge, Renee Fisher and Anittah Patrick. Legge led the Falcons with 8 points, six coming in the final eight minutes. Stallworth paced the Panthers with 20 points and 13 rebounds. Her scoring effort was the lowest of the season and well below her 28.8 average. The winners hit on 20 of 46 shots for 43 percent efficiency. The scrappy Falcons made just four of 28 attempts for 14 percent. They took only two shots in the first quarter. The locals close with a 3-15 mark while Washington advanced with a 12-6 mean.
