Syracuse, Milford win opening tourney games

Those of you who weren’t at the Syracuse gym on Tuesday, Jan. 30, missed the chance of a lifetime. In one night the spirit, excitement and drama of the old county basketball tourney was reborn. And it had an additional flavor that was missing in the old days — the girls were there and they came to play. It is rare that the fans from both Milford and Syracuse can leave the gym at the end of a basketball evening and both schools feel that they have won. But it happened last Tuesday. It was the opening round of the Camelot basketball tourney and boys and girls teams from Syracuse and Milford were playing each other. The girls led off and dispelled all doubt that they are ready to take their rightful place with the boys in the basketball spotlight. At the end of regulation time the score was still tied and it took an overtime to determine the winner. The girls game started slowly as they adjusted to playing before a crowd of over 250 fans for the first time. Milford led 8-6 at halftime, but then the fun began. Milford charged out to a 15-8 lead with less than three minutes left in the third quarter. At this point the Yellow Jackets bounced back to tie up the game and then

take the lead in the fourth quarter. The last quarter was a see saw battle as the lead changed hands several times. Grace Stichter poured in four points and hit two free throws to tie the game at 25 all as time ran out. In the overtime Stichter poured in three more free throws to win the game for the Trojans 29-27. Tammy Granger led the Yellow Jackets with 10 points and Stichter’s 13 points topped Milford. Syracuse Boys Win The boys game started slowly but Milford jumped to a 9-4 lead at the end of the first quarter as Ross Dahlstrom scored five of their points. The second quarter produced a scoring duel between Syracuse’s Jeff Thorn and Milford’s Rick Pena as each scored eight points on four field goals. Little noticed was Kevin Smith at this time as he had only four points gathered ; on four of six free throws. The third quarter was destined to decide the game as Smith broke lose for eight points and Thorn added four more as the Yellow Jackets shot into a 32-25 lead. The fourth quarter was more of the same as the Yellow Jacket pair added eight points between them and led their team to a 44-28 win.

Warriors downed by Rochester 73-69

B> DOUG WALKER The Wawasee Warriors were awful, then awesome in their loss to the Rochester Zebras Friday night. . The Zebras ran their record to 12-3 Friday evening as they defeated the Wawasee Warriors, 73-69, in one of the most bizarre contests of the current basketball season. The Warriors, who now hfcld a 9-7 mark, looked terrible in the first half of the game before coming back in the second half to perform as well as they have all season. The first quarter was a disaster for Wawasee. as senior forward Mark Sumpter picked up five quick fouls to head to an early shower and Rochester jumped out to a commanding 24-8 lead. The Zebras upped their lead to as many as 21 points in the second quarter and by half-time they owned a somewhat humiliating 40-20 advantage. Wawasee’s lackluster offensive performance in the first half was a low point for the Warriors this season, as Mark Simpson and Mark Lantz, two of the area’s scoring leaders, were held to four and two points respectively. The Warriors started on the long road back in the third

.quarter, as Lantz and Simpson combined for 22 of the team's 23 points and Wawasee reeled off 10 straight points to cut the Zebra lead to 10. Rochester fought back, however, and scored five unanswered points to carry a 5843 lead into the final period. The Zebras kept their lead in double figures until midway through the fourth quarter, when Jay Kaiser connected on a pair of field goals to cut the difference to 64-57. Buckets by Lantz and Simpson pulled the Warriors to within three at 66-63 with two minutes left. Rochester scored four straight points to take a 70-63 lead. Lantz and Matt Strombeck then combined for two points apiece to again cut the lead to three at 7067, but time was running out. The Zebras went into a stall, forcing the Warriors to foul and four straight free throws gave Rochester the 73-69 victory. Lantz led the Warriors with 24 points, followed by Simpson with a total of 20. Kaiser ended up with nine points, while Bart Bowser had six, Strombeck and Mike Kissinger had tour each and Mark Wagoner had two. In junior varsity action. Rochester defeated Wawasee, 7369. Dave Meade led the Warriors with 10 points.
