-stick Fox madffhjs 1987 high school basketball home court debut Tuesday evening respectable, scoring 14 points in the Anderson-Plymouth-Marion AAU All-Stars 147-116 victory over the Salem Bank-Wakarusa Pharmacy All-Stars. But the game was not as impor tant to Fox as getting the opportunity to see live competition. Reflecting back, Fox was ruled ineligible by the IHSAA because he used up his high school eligibility following his junior season. The AAU All-Star game marked the first time since 1986 that Fox played a game —in publicin the Warsaw gymnasium. The North Carolina-bound Fox netted 14 points, 16 rebounds, and seven block shots in the game. The game also featured Wawasee’s Tim Mangas. Mangas, coming off the bench for Salem Bank-Wakarusa Pharmacy, the Warrior great scored eight points, and dished out two » assists 1 Os Mangas’ eight points, six came_ from two consecutive three-point field goals. He finished the game shooting 3-5 from the field. Incidentally, Mangas’ limited action (three quarters) was related to his participation in the Warriors’ track meet at Warsaw

M jf It will be interesting to see how the Milwaukee Brewers bounce back after losing their first game of the season. Chicago ended the Brewers’ 13-game winning streak last night. Milwaukee, picked by many to finish last in the AL East,-surpris-ed everyone by winning its first 13 games of the season, tying a major league record. Whether the Brewers can resume winning after the emotional loss remains to be seen.
