WINNER 1.0.0. F. LODGE #437 50/50 DRAWING BOB’S COUNTRY STORE Congratulations FALCONS ROMP PAST BREMEN 60-42 FRIDAY The John Glenn Falcons opened their quest for their eighth BiCounty Tourney title late last week as weather played an important part of this year's 29th annual meeting. The Falcons and Bremen were matched in a first round game, originally set for Wednesday, but delayed until Friday due to the extreme cold weather and all the cancellations of schools, etc. last week. When it did get started, however, it wasn't quite what had been anticipated. The Falcons and the Lions were the only two teams entering the tourney with winning marks and were the two teams that have really dominated the play the last 10 or 12 years. Add to this some sectional championships, a lot of Northern State Conference crowns, and you had two teams that have really gone at one another in recent years in big games. Friday turned out to be different. A senior dominated team, the Falcons just took the game away from the start. Some good defense, a strong factor all year for Glenn, spurred an early spurt that found the Falcons jumping to a big lead. Steve Snell, often lost in the shadow of the scoring talents of Jason Groves, Toby Gardner and Jayson Kincaid, provided a lot of the spark that was needed to jump start the Falcons. He had three steals early in the game that turned into baskets as the Falcons jumped out in front. Leading 18-11 late in the first quarter, the charges of coach Gordon Mosson then ran off 11 straight points to give the Falcons a very comfortable lead. The Lions did make one small run, cutting the lead to 10 late in the half, but another Falcon outburst, highlighted by a couple of three point baskets, pushed the Falcons to a convincing 41-23 halftime lead. For all practical purposes, it was all Glenn in the second half. Bremen was able to score with the Falcons in the third period, but they were outscored 16-7 in the final eight minutes as the Glenn team coasted to the 69-42 victory. For the game. Groves had 21 points, including five three-point baskets. Kincaid and Gardner also reached double figures with 16 and 15 respectively as they were the backbone of the Falcons offense. Not only did the Falcons offense do well, but they held Bremen’s high scoring Corey Reed to a total of 12 points in this game, well below his 20 plus per game average. Corky Hendricks led the Lions in scoring with 13.

The great balance, experience and depth of the Falcons was more than the Bobcats could handle even though they played hard against the Falcons. The final score of 79-46 put Glenn into the finals of the meet to be held on Monday due to early first round postponements and Culver Military was a winner over host LaVille in the first Saturday semi-final game to set the teams for the Monday night climax. After a couple of minutes of sparring back and forth and the score tied 4-4, the Falcons jumped all over the Bobcats to take a 17-6 first period lead. Jayson Kincaid, Jason Groves and Toby Gardner paced the early scoring with 6, 5 and 4 respectively in taking this lead. The second quarter was more of the same.

they steadily moved to a 31-15 halftime lead. By halftime, seven different boys had shared Glenn's 31 points. The second half was just more of the same. Regardless of what one may think with their heart, the Falcons were just way too much for the Bobcats as the senior dornin ated crew of Gordon Mosson just continued to play good sound basketball. It was 52-31 after three on the way to the 79-46 final margin of victory. The usual big three again led Glenn, Gardner leading the way with 20, Groves having 17 and Kincaid 13. However, a lot of the story lies in the fact that no less than 10 players shared the Falcons points in this game. The Bobcats were led by freshman reserve Chad Dickson, who came off the bench to score a team high 17 points. Dave Vermillion also reached double figures with 12.
