Blinn Falls to Cardinals Henderson County's Cardinals buzzed through Blinn College Tuesday night while taking a 79-64 win from the Buccaneers. We did the best we were capable of doing against them, Buc coach Ernie Stewart said after the game. I have no complaints. They just have a fine ball club. Henderson took a 35-29 lead at the half after what Stewart called exceptional play by his Bucs. We kept up with them most ofthe first half, until the last two or three minutes. l'd say we played as well the first half as any team I've had in 13 years. They just had us outmanned all the way. Anthony Brown and john Williams led the Bucs in scoring with 19 points each. Oliver Lewis added 12. Alex Middleton led the Cardinals with 20 points. According to the Henderson coach, the Cardinals hit 82 per cent of their shots from the field during the second half while Blinn only hit 42 percent for the night. The Bucs did connect on 10 of 13 free throws. The taller Cardinals completely con- trolled the boards, allowing the Bucs only 28 rebounds. But then again, Stewart said, they didn't miss very many either. in . Z l l l Anthony Bfgwn john Williams jackie Edwards Silsbee Sealy Killeen 234
