second win of the season Saturday night as they defeated the visiting South Central Satellites. The 72-43 final score was brought about by complete dominance of the Falcons in the second half after a close first 16 minutes. The victory raised the Falcons record to 2-4 for the season. Neiswender had a career night in this, just his sixth high school game. He hit a total of nine out of 11 field goals in the game, including two of two from three-point range. He also added three of three from the foul line and he capped the 23 points night off with 10 fourth quarter points as the Falcons were running away with this victory in the second half. The visiting Satellites jumped to the lead early in the game and held a 19-15 lead after one period, with five players sharing their scoring. Medich tossed in seven of Glenn's 15 int his quarter and Neiswender started his night off with two baskets in this quarter. But in the second period, the Flacons took over. Neiswender and Hill each totaled five points, to lead the attack that not only overtook the Satellites, but took charge of the game for coach Gordon Mosson. It was 34-28 at halftime. The second half was all John Glenn. They outscored their opponents 38-15 and dominated play on both sides of the ball. It was 54-37 after three, on the way to the 72-43 final score. In addition to Neiswender's 23, Medich finished the night with 20 points and Wiegand hit double digits with 10. The Falcons as a team, shot a very good 28 out of 52 while their opponents could only muster 16 baskets in 53 attempts. The Falcons also hit a fine six of nine from three-point range to just two of 13 for the visitors. Minix led the Satellites with 16 points. In Holiday Tourney
