46 GARRETT VS. OPPONENT At I a at Central Noble East Noble ee Moment | Carroll Westview North Side ee Knew What It Bluffton Columbia City Lakeland Snir Was to Lose.”’ Concordia Angola Bellmont “Il sat on the bench and Rastoide watched the action unfold be- Churubusco Northrop fore my eyes, unable to Hamilton change the outcome. A six point lead had changed to a one point deficit. Then the unbelievable happened. Mark Martin sank a 15 foot jump- shot to give us a one point lead with three seconds left on the clock. On the floor, play- ers were jumping in each other’s arms. The home team called for time. Time-in and a long cross-court pass fell into the arms of one of their play- ers. Our back man committed himself to the ball, leaving no defense behind him. One more pass, a lay-up, and it was all over. The buzzer sounded and left an empty, angry feeling in the pit of my stomach. At that instant in my life, | realized what it felt like to have some- thing taken from me. It was during that moment that | knew what it was to lose.”’ — Coach Kochert in the Hamil- ton B-team game — Pic 1) Coach Dick Kochert emphasizes the need to control the boards as Tim Smith looks on.
