CLEVELAND ADVOCATE, Friday, February 5, 1988, Section A - Page 9
Trojans down Homs second time
By JERREL FERGUSON
Advocate Sports Writer
Because of a power failure last
week which caused the rescheduling
of a game, the Tarkington
Longhorns were forced to play three
games this week.
In the first game, which was their
rescheduled contest, they hosted the
Shepherd Pirates. In a game which
^ saw the Homs begin slow and later
gain a 6-point lead, the Pirates
rallied late in the final period to
hand Tarkington a 60-54 loss.
The Pirates took the lead early in
the first period and out scored the
Homs 9-0 in the first two-and-a-half
minutes. After the slow beginning,
Tarkington coach Jim Dixon put
Ethan Wells, Chris Dunham and
Greg Varvel in the game off the
bench. That move seemed to spark
the Homs. Tarkington finally got on
the board at the 5:38 mark on two
free throws from the Homs’ leading
scorer Wayne Belver.
Despite the spark from the Homs’
bench, Shepherd Won the battle on
the boards and went on to out score
the Longhorns 15-12 in the opening
period.
Tarkington improved their
situation somewhat in the second
period. With good free-throw
shooting, the Longhorns overtook
the Pirates and even took the lead
for a short time. Despite losing the
lead again, the Horns’ second-
quarter play was good enough to out
score Shepherd 13-10 in the period
for a 25-25 tie at the halftime break.
At the beginning of the third
period, Belver scored on a layup and
gave Tarkington the lead. They
maintained that lead until halfway
through the fourth period. Going to
their zone-trap defense, the
Longhorns caused several Pirate
turnovers which they converted into
points.
At the 3:00 mark of the third, Joel
Heath hit a 12-foot jumper to give
Tarkington a 37-31 lead — their
biggest lead of the night. Shepherd
was able to come back to narrow the
score, however, and went into the
final period trailing the Horns 41-39.
In the fourth period, things began
to turn around for the Longhorns.
They were five of seven from the line
in the period, but that wasn’t
enough. The Pirates began to
penetrate the Longhorn defense and
drive the ball to the net. Shepherd
was able to score 10 points in the
quarter on layups or short jumpers
inside and out scored Tarkington 21-
13 for the 60-54 victory.

For their second game, the Horns
traveled to Montgomery to take on
the Bears.
After a slow beginning for both
teams, and trailing 19-17 at the half,
Tarkington came back in the second
half for a 58-48 victory over the
Bears.
The game got off to a slow
beginning for both clubs, with
neither team scoring many points in
the first two quarters. Despite the
slow beginning, Montgomery took
an early lead and out scored the
Longhorns 11-7 in the opening
period.
Although both teams continued the
low-scoring pace in the second
period, things did improve for
Tarkington. With 5 points from
Damon Bowers, 4 points from James
McLamb and 1 point from the
game’s leading scorer Wayne
Belver, the Homs out scored
Montgomery 10-8 in the period. It
wasn’t enough, however, to prevent
the Bears from taking a 19-17 lead
into the locker room at halftime.
Tarkington asserted themselves in
the third period. Using their zone
trap defense, they were able to hold
Montgomery to only 5 points in the
quarter and take a 33-24 lead into the
final period.
Things heated up in the fourth
quarter. Both teams scored over 20
points in the period. But with the
help of 17 fourth-period points from
Belver, the Longhorns managed to
squeeze by the Bears in the fourth
25-24. Although the fourth-quarter
scoring was close, the game score
was not, as Tarkington defeated the
Bears 58-48.
“Both teams started slow in the
game,” Tarkington Basketball
Coach Jim Dixon said. “Neither
team scored much in the first half.
We did some things defensively in
the second that caused them to
speed play up and make some
mistakes that we capitalized on.
“It was a nice game to play in and
to coach in, in that we didn’t have to
struggle like we’ve had to in so many
of our games — and then come out
on the short end. We did a lot of
things well defensively and our
defense forced a lot of turnovers —
and we capitalized on them.”

Lady Indians win two, make playoffs
By JERREL FERGUSON
Advocate Sports Writer
In their first game of the week, the
Cleveland Lady Indians travelled to
Livingston to take on the Lady
Lions.
Both teams played close through
the opening period. The Lady In-
dians out scored the Lady Lions by
only 1 point (11-10), with 7 points
from Latoshia Clay and 2 points
each from Tanisha Woods and Tina
^ Thomas.
* Th*e second period was the big one
for Cleveland. With 10 points from
Caroline Manthey, five each from
JA Latoshia and Kechia Clay and 2
^points from Latanda Dickerson,
Cleveland out scored Livingston 22-
13. With their 22 points, the Lady
Indians went into the locker room at
the half with a 10-point, 33-23 lead.
“It was close in the first quarter,”
Cleveland Coach Rennie Chaney
said. “It was 11-10 after the first
quarter. Then we had a big quarter
in the second with 22 points. I think
the defense was the big thing that
helped us the most.
“We usually run a 1-2-1-1 trap,
depending on the team that we’re
playing. We have to adjust our
defense according to what team
we’re playing, but that’s what we try
to run. Sometimes we’ll catch
ourselves playing a man-to-man, but
we try to stick to the 1-2-1-1.”
The third period was not as big as
the second for Cleveland, but they
still scored 16 points in the quarter.
With their strong shooting from the
outside and their advantage in the
peed department, the Lady Indians
but scored Livingston 16-12 to take a
49-35 lead into the final period.
Things slowed down for Cleveland
in the fourth period. In their lowest-
scoring quarter of the game, the
Lady Indians were out scored by
Livingston 15-7. Despite winning the
quarter, the Lady Lions were able to
do nothing but narrow the gap with
Cleveland. The Lady Indians held on
for the 56-50 victory.
“It seemed like anything that
could go wrong did go wrong in this
game,” Chaney said. “But we stil
managed to pull it out — mainly
because of the defense and the high-
scoring second quarter. We didn’t
play real well. We’ve had better
games. But any game you win is
pretty good I guess.”
and 2 points each from Monica
Wyatt and Latanda Dickerson, the
Lady Horns stayed ahead of the
Lady Cougars for a 15-11 lead at the
end of the opening period.
Both teams again stayed close in
the second period, with Crosby out
scoring Cleveland 11-9. Althou^i
they won the quarter, the Lady
Cougars still trailed the lady Indians
24-22 at the half.
The third period was a 1-point
quarter. Despite 10 points from
Latoshia Clay, 4 from Manthey, and
2 each from Kechia Clay and Woods,
Crosby out scored Cleveland 19-18.
With their 19 points, the Lady
Cougars narrowed the margin to 1
point and went into the final period
trailing Cleveland 42-41.
In the fourth period, the Lady
Indians managed to pull away from
Crosby and held that advantage
until late in the game. With less than
two minutes remaining in the game,
the Lady Cougars rallied to narrow
the score to 1 point again at 56-55.
Then with one second left, Crosby
had the ball out of bounds. The Lady
Indians were able to prevent Crosby
from inbounding the ball deep
enough for the score and held on for
the 56-55 victory and a playoff berth.
“It was a close game all the way
through,” Coach Chaney said. “We
pulled out to a 9-point lead in the
fourth quarter. We had a 9-point lead
up until about the last two minutes.
Then, instead of trying to take ad- (
vantage of the lead, the kids still
wanted to play.
“I was trying to settle them down.
They were listening to the people in
the stands. The stands were telling
them to do this and I was telling
them to do that. Then we messed
around and got into a 3-point
situation. But we held on for the win
and that got us into the playoffs.
Now if we can beat C.E. King in the
last game, we can clinch the zone
championship.”
The Lady Indians will close out the
regular season tonight when they
host the C.E. King Lady Panthers.
Although they have clinched
playoff spot, the King game is still
very important. With a victory
tonight, Cleveland will clinch the
zone championship.
Tipoff for the game is scheduled
for 7:30 p.m.
