' By Steve Sittlck Correspondent ROCHESTER After dropping a 70-68 double overtime heartbreaker to Tippecanoe Valley in the opening round of die Winning Edge Holiday Tournament at Rochester, the North Wood Panthers boys' basketball team used a huge third quarter to defeat Michigan City Marquette 77-59 to earn third place in the tournament. % The win improved due young Panthers to 3-4 in the 2011 portion of the season and provided some much-needed momentum heading into the heart of the always-tough Northern Lakes Conference (NLQ schedule in January.

sophomore Will Stueve appeared to tip it in before the buzzer but me officials ruled "no basket" and the game went to a second overtime. At that point, North Wood caught fire, pulling ahead 66-59 on a three by five relentless Idem and two free throws each by Wilkinson and Miller, and things looked Weak for Valley when Kindig and senior center Jeffery Tillman both fouled out Not to worry for Viking fans, however, as freshman Cnainey Zolman, who had not even played up to that point, calmly drained a three-pointer and Valley rallied to trail 68-67 with 50 seconds left.
