BLUEJAYS ROMP OVER FALCONS 92-58 SATURDAY The North Judson Bluejays, one of the states better teams and certainly one of the premier small school teams, displayed their talents Saturday night in the Falcons nest and took home a very convincing 92-58 victory. With two outstanding senior players leading the way Ryan Bales and Ryan Trusty. The Bluejays, playing with the thought in the back of their mind that the Falcons had beaten them six of their last seven meetings, played with an intensity on both ends of the court that will get the job done. The final score was 92-58 and the Bluejays led handily the entire game after falling behind very briefly right at the start. Some fantastic shooting along with a very solid defense powered the Bluejays to their 18th win in 19 starts. They have lost only to Merrillville, currently ranked number 2in the state. They are ranked in the top 25, despite the size of their school. The loss dropped Glenn to 9-11 for the season and would require the Falcons to win the Plymouth Sectional if they are to have a winning record this season. The Falcons got off to a quick 4-0 lead. But then it was “Katie bar the door!”. The Bluejays took over so completely as they dominated on both ends of the floor. By the end of the first period it was 21-10, and a late 11-0 run in the second quarter, opened the gap to HESTERS CABIN BED & BREAKFAST ■ "^wBL < , ifnBKlA-T Im* no Peaceful Night Or Weekend In Our 1830 Restored Log House (Reservations Only) 71880 St. Rd. 23, Walkerton

46-25 by halftime. In this torrid first half, the Bluejays only hit 19 out of 23 shots, for an amazing 83%. The third quarter only got worse for the Falcons, who were playing i without their leading scorer, Brian I Lyle, who sustained a broken arm I Friday night and is now out for the remainder of the season. The Bluejays turned up the defensive intensity which they say triggers • their offense, and in the third ; stanza opened the margin to 40 i points, 66-26, before giving the regulars some rest on the bench. The Falcons did manage to run off the last nine points against the reserves, but still trailed 66-35 at the end of three. From here on out, it was just a matter of time and how much. The powerful Jays pumped in another 26 points in the final quarter, making the final 92-58. With their two outstanding senior stars leading the way, the Bluejays had great balance, with Trusty and Bales have 22 and 20, respectively, but Brown and Radtke 14 each and Howard 10, as the starters for North Judson. The Falcons were led by Nick Medich and Jake Neiswender with 15 and 11 respectively. For the night, North Judson hit 34 out of 49 shots for a great 69%. Glenn hit 22 out of 36, for 39%.

The win was Glenn’s ninth of the year against 10 losses. Argos is a scrappy, aggressive ballclub and using the three-point shot heavily in the first half, they moved ahead of the visiting Falcons by scores of 14-10 and 24-21 at the first two stops. The Dragons had only eight baskets in the first 16 minutes, but six of these were from three-point range. Stults totaled 14 of the Dragons points in the first 16 minutes on four treys and a pair of free throws. Glenn’s total, while not very high, was well distributed between the five starters. The second half was a different story. With the intensity turned up a notch, the Falcons controlled the game more with a good defensive effort. They managed to pull ahead 33-29 by the end of the quarter and then held off the Dragons in the final stanza for the win. The Falcons went to the charity line 17 times in the second half, converting 11 of the attempts to hang on for the victory. Good balance was important for Glenn as Nick Medich and Landon Wiegand each had 13 points, Brian Lyle 12, to lead the Falcon attack. Stults took game honors with 16 for the Dragons but had no other double figure help. For the game the Falcons hit 18 of 38 for a 47% mark while the Dragons connected on only 16 of 44 for 36%. Argos hit better from three-point range, hitting 8 of 20 treys while only 8 of 24 from in close. Glenn was only successful on two of 9 from outside the arc.
