David Tate came in with 15 points and Jeff Geertsen 10. The game was played before a packed house and that, reported head coach Ron Huber, made the win even more satisfying. The two teams dueled through a razor close first quarter, which ended with the Titans holding a 4 edge. Skyline turned tables on the Titans in the second period, outscoring Olympus to lead at tne break. But Olympus defense dominated in the third quarter, holding the Eagles to just seven points, while its offense clicked to the tune of 13 to move in front Oly wrapped things up with a Durst in the final period. "It was our defense, especially in the third quarter that decided the game," praised coach Huber, "that and our shooting from the field and the foul line." Olympus shot 51 percent from the floor, 22x43, to Skylines 42 percent. At the free throw line, the Titans were 24x30, 80 percent, while the Eagles finished at 14x26, 54 percent.

It is not known at present how bad the injury is but it is hoped that he can play the final two games. Murray did have a seven-poilead in he quarter, but could not hold off the Panthers, especially after the injury to Chapman. Although the Spartans other two . big men, Todd Tuttle and Peter Young, both played well, the 51 points scored by Glasker and David Shaw was more than Murray could overcome.

Tuesdays game saw Judge and South take turns having the lead but Judge pulled away to a lead at the half. Jimmy Soto had nineteen of the 31 points for Judge while Jason Tonge had 16 of the 26 points for South. Soto came out in the third quarter to guard Tonge and held him to five points during the half, while Chris Gardner, was all over the court with a pressure defense. The game went from a close one to a runaway as Judge outscored the Cubs in the second half. Judge also got extra effort from Brian Clark, who came in and played a fine game for Chris Jones who was in foul trouble most of the game. Clark scored only six points, but passed out six assists and played tenacious 31-2- 6 defense. 72, Judge 67 Aaron For three years Jordans big. 7 Crookston, center, has been known for his scoring, but on Friday, playing game perhaps the best of his career, he not only scored well but defendedi passed and rebounded and his teammates played what Coach Hal Hale said "was the best overall team game of the year," as Jordan knocked off visiting Judge. Jordan, which had suffered a seven minute scoring drought the week before against Murray, came up with another drought this game, going from 4:06 of the second quarter through 2:35 of the third without a point. During this 6:41 dry spell, Judge surged deficit to a from a lead, outscoring Jordan 16-Crookston cut the margin to and then after Chris Jones the scored to make it Diggers surged to 11 straight.

Tueller but missed a free throw, Crookston got the rebound and a few seconds later hit two big free throws for the final margin. Hale said his team achieved the goals it had set for the game and that it was a big win. He felt that the soft pressure game his team played might have taken Judge out of its offense somewhat. Judge Coach Jim Yerkovich felt that the eight minute stretch in the third quarter after the Bulldogs had taken the lead, was the turning point. He is in hopes that Chuck Miller, who had been playing well for Judge prior to an injury, will be able to play Friday against Murray. Crookston led Jordan with 21 with Jason Kokkola points, having 15 and Rusty Eyre and 8, 60-5- 0 p 61-5- Gardner scored all his 11 points in the second half and added six winners a edge with a little over two minutes left. 7.

Judge will play a big game on Friday against Murray and will then finish their season the following Friday against West, both games at assists, as the Judge team, which had only six team assists in the first half, had 16 in the second. Micah Peters hit on 11x16 field goal attempts on his way to 23 points and a 20 rebound game, while Soto, who had four long "threefers", led Judge with 27. 1, Taylorsville.

During the second, the Spartans had a lead when Granite elected to go for one shot with little more than a minute to go. An official whistled the Farmers for a violation and, where Granite had hoped to go into the locker room down four, it went in down, nine, and never seemed able to recover. Granite picked up a point in the third quarter, but the height superiority was much in evidence during the last period. Murray missed on the front end of five charity tosses, but rebounded on each of the misses, with Tuttle capturing three. He, in fact, had six offensive rebounds for the game. Young played a big part in the win, as he replaced Chapman in the middle when Chapman, who played only 20 minutes, was in foul trouble, and made three straight baskets in the first half.
