After the tip, the CLSS came out strong, took advantage of the Falcon's poor ball handling and jacked the score up to 2 after three minutes of F-1- F-1- 70-4- p 9-- play. Early on, CLSS dominated the glass, but overly aggressive play by both teams led to several fouls. The refs must have just had LASIK eye surgery, because they saw everything. There were no breaks for either team in the foul department But, and converted early points the CLSS was spot-ofrom the line. The Falcon's Wayne Whelchel, only had eight points in the game, but he kept the team spiritually alive early in the first half by attacking the basket and making two trips to the line for two easy n, :. ft free-throw- s. The FalBy the mark, CLSS led cons had pulled to within three points. The CLSS team showed superb ball handling. If there had been a crowd at the Hess, CLSS's Dar-re- ll Reining would have wowed them with a pass through the legs of an opponent for a sweet assist. The CLSS also capitalized on Falcon turnovers. They rotated the ball to everyone, and scoring in f was spread evenly throughout the the team. Near the end of the half, Whelchel again provided spark to the Falcon's sagging morale and e ended an scoring drought with back to back points. At the half, the score was 16-1- 3. if i.' ' -- ..

During halftime, Kerry Cole, the Falcon's coach, wasn't pleased with the team's performance, saying, "We haven't been playing our usual game. We usually do really well off of points." On the other hand, CLSS coach, Jon Owen, knew his team had the formula for success. "We're just playing smart basketball. We've got great passing, we're moving the ball around and looking for the open shot," said Owen at the run-and-g- fast-brea- k Photo by Airman 1st Class Micah Garbarlno s CLSS coach and player, Jon Owen, goes to the basket for one of his 10 for 21 points, Friday, against the Falcons at the Hess Fitness Center. field-goal- Intramural basketball standings half. by Beth Young Hilltop Times staff High fives, cheers and words of advice abounded from the last two lanes of the Hill Bowling Center earlier this month as Hill Field Elementary students participated in a new program that rewards them for acts of kindness. "When kids do good things they get Panther Pride certificates. They can be kind to someone or they can be respect- anytime someone sees they have done something nice," said Paul Bryner, Hill Field Elementary principal. "Each month we put these in a bucket and draw to see who will go bowling. So it is a combination of them being good students and luck of the draw." Through the new program, coordinated through Hill's Services Division with cooperation from the Hill Bowling Center and Youth Center, 15 students will spend an afternoon bowling in return for their good deeds. The program started with the 6th grade and each month a different grade will participate. "Services is always looking for ways to give back to the community and what better way than to reward outstanding students from Hill Field, considering 99 percent of the students are military children from the base," said Ronda Reynolds, Services Marketing specialist. In addition to two free games and shoe rental from the bowling center, the Youth Center is helping by providing the ride. The students will be shuttled back and forth by the Youth Center van. The goal of the program is not only to reward but also to motivate. "We're hoping the kids will strive to be the next student chosen to go on the field trip each month," Reynolds said. Bryner hopes that as word gets around about how much fun the 6th graders had, it will inspire the other students to earn their Panther Pride certificates. Even with quite a few gutter balls, the students agreed it would be hard to keep how much fun they had a secret. "I think it's really fun and it's a really good reward. I think it will motivate a lot of kids, because they will want to go bowling. All you have to do is be nice and good, and then you will get Panther Prides," said Jeremy Plater, one of the first participants in the program. "The first trip was great and it's great to be able to give some reinforcement that we normally can't do," Bryner added. "I appreciate Services and the Youth Center and everyone that is involved that has made this possible." ful ITT rgn j r During the second half, two shooters came alive. Tim Gordon, who only scored three points for the Falcons in the first half, knocked down 14 points in the second, and CLSS's coach Jon Owen blazed away with 15. At the start of the half, the Falcon's actually made a defensive run by stop, but after two minutes, they were fighting off a 7--0 the CLSS. Eight minutes into the half, the Falcons finally put some points CLSS. up, bringing the score to For the next five minutes the teams scored almost evenly, but it was all down hill from there for the Falcons. The only spark came late in the half when Gordon drained a three, and then made a trip to the line for a play. The Falcon's made shots that didn't come soon enough, and the three, three-poifinal score was CLSS. "We had poor defense and bad shot selection. We should have played them a bit tighter and made those clutch baskets," said 45-3- 1, four-poi- Team Force Won Lost Seed 11 8 6 6 6 6 75CEG 6 Sky Force 388 EMSEWS 3 2 388 OSS 2 75MDG 775 EOD 0 729ACS 388 EMS 367 TOSS 3 CGOC 649 CLSS Missile Men 649MUNS Hydro Holies 2 3 4 5 6 7 3 3 3 3 6 nt 70-4- 8, 5 6 7 8 1 1.8 8 Slow Roller 6 Sky Force 5 649 CLSS 4 Falcons 4 LGH 5 JA 3 1 75 SFS 0 75MSS As of Feb. 13 2004 9 10 9 3 4 TuesdayThursday league Team Won Lost Seed 8 8 7 Hangar Rats 388 CMS 1 1 1 2 2 3 Cole. 0 1 2 4 4 6 3 4 5 12 6 34 AMU 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 basketball Won Lost Seed Team 8 7 7 6 5 4 3 2 Over-3- 0 nt 5 7 7 8 NASCAR Warriors U.S. Air Force photo by Larry McTlghe INTERNATIONAL DAYTONA SPEEDWAY, da' WlT, z&frSZZi Air - i c . - - ;r military-sponsore- d cars line up ready for the on the speedway, kick off the 2004 Nextel Cup season which took place Sunday.
