The Greene County Guardian, January 24, 1957

PAGE 2. JANUARY 2 4 ,1 9 5 7 GUARDIAN TWO MARKS TOPPLED Rams Rip Irish by 98-66 Margin Jfm Gatten Jamertown's favorite guessing game this week consists of picking the team to " c om e clo sest" to knocking off the Rams. No one is convinced seriously that any other team In the county actually will turn the trick. But there's a lot of feeling that this Friday's foe, Bellbrook, should come about the near es t . The Golden Eagles have been looking better with each game. Then there's Bowersville Jefferson. The amazing Tigers last week bounced the Bulldogs of Bryan and surprised every­ one in the county—save perhaps a hard core of Jefferson rooters who knew all the time that it could be done. So there's an ebb of opinion about the area that the final game of the league--between Jefferson and Greene view - - could be the most Interesting. Jefferson didn't cause the Rams too much trouble in the initial game between the two this season. But, as the year progresses, Jeffersonhas picked up a fine balance of basket­ ball know-how. On a hot night, the Rams could be in ser­ ious trouble. Talking about Jefferson takes us back just a short span of seasons to the towering Tiger aggregation which made a good showing all the way to Troy. Down in Bowersville this week, this reporter was t a l k ing to Mrs. VI. VI. Warnock. She also recallfed that team, which was sparked by her grandson. Thane Bock. She hauled out a thick swatch of clippings from another newspaper which then carried the Slim-Jim-nasties. Thane now is playing junior varsity ball, b e c a use this is his first ^ear, at Ohio Wesleyan University, Delaware. He spent his first c o l l e g e year at Miami University before transferring to Wesleyan. Mrs. Warnock was telling us his t e a m p1a yed recently against Muskingum College, which is getting a strong assist from another former area basketballer, John MacMillan of Cedarville. The two did not tangle since M a c M i l l a n was with the varsity crew of Muskingum and Bock won't make the Wes­ leyan varsity squad until next year. But many of us here­ abouts can remember when the two did tange at the high school level. Both boys played good basketball. What with the season's drawing near a close, everyone by now is gunning for Greeneview. That should make the task harder for the three remaining Greene County League en­ counters. That's Bell brook this Friday, C e d a r v i l l e next week at Jamestown, and then, the finale with Bowersville Jefferson. There's a lot of basketball coming our way yet. ^ Three^E niist Records toppled in several directions Friday night dur­ ing G r e e n e v i e w ' s fourth straight triumph in Greene C o u n t y League basketball competition. Xenia St. Bri- gid was the v i c t i m by the awesome count of 98-66 at Jamestown. That 98 points was a new floor r e c o r d in the county loop. And Jerry Hill 's smash­ ing total of 36 points stands as the biggest number scored by an individual in the coun­ ty's m o d e r n history. That b r o k e an old m a r k of 35 points by St. Brigid's Corky Henry in 1953. Only short t e m p e r flares and die scoring totals added i n t e r e s t to the game after the first few seconds. It ap­ peared o b v i o u s from the jump that the Irish were no match for the Rams. Once, during the final per­ iod, X e n i a St. Brigid at- Cedarville Stays or A Time, but Falters Hapless Cedarville happen­ ed into the way of a soaring crowd of Golden Eagles from B e l l b r o o k Friday night at Cedarville. The 71-48 loss left the Indians at the bottom of the Greene County League. Fred Fleenor of Bellbrook tied the old county mark of 35 points in a single game. But that mark was broken the same night by Greeneview's Jerry Hill as the Rams trounc­ ed X e n i a St. Brigid. That ran Fleenor's point produc­ t i o n t o t a l to 95 points in league competition. Cedarville made a strong comeback in the third period after trailing by 10 points at i n t e rmi s s i on . The Indians pulled within a single marker near the close of the third frame, 41-40, but the Eagles 11- sank six fast ones and con­ tinued their domination. Bellbrook took a 30-25 v ic­ tory in the reserve game with a y o u n g e r Fleenor, Carson by name, scoring 10 points.

Coach Fred Long be­ came i r a t e at the tactics and ordered his team to the sidelines. After the Irish scored, the Rams returned to play and kept b u l g i n g the bucket. Second-stringers saw only a couple short stints of action. The second team was in for the l a t t e r part of the first period and for a time during the third frame. But, for the most part, the first five gunned for the re­ cord. And got it.
