Russellville Edges Roachdale In County Kickoff, 58 To 57

A twenty second desperation shot fired by uncanny marksman Ron Richardson gave the Russellville Be . the mighty one point victory margin over the Roachdale Hawks in last night's Putnam County kickoff tilt. In a slow starting first period of action both teams cautiously fought t'.eir way up the scoring column. Russellville grabbed a small edge in the early first minutes taking advantage of Roachdale's unexpected fullcourt press. As the buzzer sounded to close the first period Russellville held the advantage by four. 18- 14. After a quick six point outburst by the Bees a trailing Hawk squad called time-out. Following revision of strategy, Wagner and Hill pumped the buckets for seven badly needed points while the Bees connected j on a couple of free throws and a fast break, cutting the Russellville margin to three. Two minutes of play passing and the score standing at 3027 Hawk Clones dropped in a j free throw and a ten-footer with 1:47 remaining in the half. Holding his own. Russellville pivot man Hurst dropped in a free throw only to be equalled by a 15 foot jumper by Hawk forward Chris Snodgrass putting the score on and even keel for the first time in the tilt,

31-31.

Always present scoring threat Ron Richardson then drove the length of the court and popped in another one as the buzzer sounded ending the first half with Rusodlville leading 33-31.
