First game jitters npe ‘on dinga 8, point lead, ‘but Washtenaw came back with three minutes left in the half to close the gap to 39-35. The second half saw both teams scoring basket for basket when, with 10 minutes left, Muskegon switched to a 2-3 zone and scored some easy buckets on fast breaks. At this point it was apparent that Muskegon was. controlling the game even though Washtenaw was trying des- perately to come back. But it was not to be, as Muskegon came out on top with a 90-72 victory. The second game of the day saw Kalamazoo beating Cuyahoga 94- 86. The final score was indicative of how the game went as Kalamazoo was always in control of the game. The first half belonged to Kala- mazoo whose 2-1-2 zone defence forced Cuyahoga to shoot outside 75% of the time. “Cuyahoga’s tough man to man defense and scrappiness onthe boards prevented Kalamazoo from building on their 43-31 half-time lead. | THE PEDDLER | c | 5 — = se | é — ee ae ae ee r ae ae ee The second half saw Cuyahoga switch to a 2-3 zone and force Kala- mazoo into fouling problems as Cuyahoga closed to within six points of the Cougars. But they got ‘no closer than that and wound up on the short end of 94-86. In what was perhaps the best game of the day, the Oakland Raiders pulled a close one out over Southern State by a score of 93-87. The first half was nip and tuck as Oakland took a slim 49-46 lead into the locker room. The second half was a replica of the first with both teams staying within eight points of each other until Oakland’s tough man to man defense forced Southern into costly turnovers and defeat. The final game Friday. pitted the_ Alpena Lumberjacks against the- Lakeland Lakers. Plagued by first- game jitters, both teams started poorly, but the Lumberjacks broke fast and rebounded with authority to take a 58-43 lead in the first half. Fouls were a major problem for Alpena who committed a total of 33 while Lakeland ended with 14. The second half was a different story as Lakeland’s 2-1-2 zone de- fense kept Alpena at bay while the Lakers crept to within eight points. The Lakers never got any closer as Alpena‘s defense stiffened and the os coasted to Ugione Alonzo Weatherly—high scorer. The next day saw two cancella- go panes played.
