Tiger Cub Team, 96-73

By FRANK PUCKETT, JR. Sports Editor . Broad Ripple’s fired up Rockets blasted out of sight from Greencastie’s visiting Tiger Cubs last night as the Indianapolis team grabbed a 4-0 lead and refused to back off. The loss made the local crew 16-4 for the season. The contest was Greencas tie’s last of the season until they meet Bainbridge in the local sec thmal next week while Broad Ripple is slated to meet Indianapolis Washington in their sectional. Greencastle bent to the fast

breaking tactics of the Rockets during the first four minutes of the contest, 17-10, but came back with the same opposition in the closing minutes of the quarter to trail by only four, 17-21. Troyer collected eight points in the quarter and Chadd nine— no one else on the Cub roster connected. Greencastle tossed in 8 for 26 tries from the field, while the Rockets connected on 8 for 22—but dumped in five charity stripe attempts. Coming back with the fired up fast break, the Rockets put the Cubs down by twenty points
