COUNTY CHAMPIONS WIN SECTIONAL

Clovcrdale singed the fe*» there from the Cardinals last night when they took a 78-66 decision from Fillmore. This was the second time Cloverdale had faced Fillmore in the finals of the tourney. The first time, Clovcrdale downed the Cards 75-60 in the County

Tourney.

Cloverdale trailed the majority of the first half of the game and couldn’t seem to find a combination to get past the Fillmore defense. They were forced to open a barrage on the nets from 15 feet out and were hitting the nets with varied regularity. Fillmore found it just as tough to cut through the Clover defense and also were forced to shoot from the 15 foot mark. Craig Evans seemed to have made the back-bending jump shot his specialty. Cloverdale led 12-11 into the second quarter but fell behind against a Cardinal onslought. Repeated attacks by Rod Hervey, Roy Sandy and Dick Stallcup chipped and hacked away at the tight zone defense that Fillmore Mentor Ron McCammack sent the Cardinals into. Cloverdale entered the final sixteen minutes rf play 26-30

underdogs.

Around Cloverdale, they spell ‘•second half” with 19 letters: Hervey, Sandy, Stallcup. The three Clover stars cut loose a blitz on the Cardinals that they never recovered from. Roger Skelton was the first to feel the effects from the Clover rally. He fell with five personals at the 4:57 mark with Fillmore leading by one point. Fillmore came back and momentarily slowed the Clover surge until Bob Huber drew his fourth personal for Fillmore. Sandy tied the game at 45-all

and a long pan to Richard Woods from Craig Evans tied the game 51-all at the seven minute mark. With Roger Skelton benched from fouls, Fillmore found themselves in trouble when Evans and Glaze joined Huber with four personals each. The fouls slowed the action almost unnoticably but enough to give Cloverdale a 57-51 edge with 5:34 to play. There was nothing to stop the Clovers as they racked up the longest lead of the game 56-66 at the 3:05 marker. Bob Huber drew his fifth personal and left the game at a crucial point. Fillmore opened with a full court press that didn’t do anything except hand Evans and Glaze their last fouL With four of the starting five players out of the action, Fillmore could do nothing more than hope to slow the Cloverdale scoring. Craig Evans led the scoring with 23 points followed by Woods and Glaze with 13 each. Roy Sandy hit four field goals but connected on the charity stripe with twelve for twelve free throws and a 20-point talley. Four other Clovers entered the double figure column with John Price holding 17, Rob Jones 14 and Hervey and Stallcup with 12 each. The 1965 Sectional Tourney was the first sectional ever won by a Cloverdale team. The Clovers will enter Regional action in Covington Saturday.

verdict.
