Standing back of the backboard and about five feet from the basket, he spun ind underhanded the ball toward the goal as he was fouled. The shot was good—and so was the free throw.

Greenup (24 BASKETBALL? — It might have been a tag-team wrest- ling match or a head-butting contest when this photo was snapped in Greenup - Ashland game, which Tomcats won 89-50. No. 22, not quite iuto the battle for the ball, is Steve Crain. (Staff Photo by Domthan) Greenup Tops Russell In Overtime; Greenup Tigers Dropped Before Strong Ashland Quintet 89-50 Tuesday In Opening Round Of A. I. T. . . - . . — . mi m in ho The Greenup High School Tigers made their first venture into the Ashland Invitational Tournament Tuesday night and found the going too rough. Coach George Arrington’s Tigers were overrun by Ashland, undoubt- edly one of the state’s top teams. 89-50. The game was close only in the opening minutes. Greenup stayed within eight points in the first quar- ter when the Tomcats seemed a little anxious, but was smothered at the ooerang of the second period. The Tomcats, superior in height speed and shooting ability broke the ball game open in the second quarter, tallying 15 points while holding Greenup scoreless. The halftime score was 44-18 and there- after the Ashland reserves took over much of the duty for Coach Bob Wright’s quintet. The loss runs Greenup’s record to 10-4 for the season. The Tigers meet McKell here Tuesday and take on strong Meade Memorial at Russell Thursday as part of a twin bill. Greenup chalked up a . 4-51 over- time win over Russell last night in the first half of a double- header at Raceland to lake the spotlight in area cage action. Ken Sammons, a sophomore sub- stitute, connected for Greenup in the closing seconds to send the opening tilt at Raceland into an overtime as a desperation shot by Russell’s Jim McKenzie missed as the buzzer ended regulation play. I ive free throws, coupled with a field goal by Sammons, clinch- ed the win for Greenup in the overtime as Ronnie Bates and McKenzie tallied fielders for the Red Devils in the extra period. Both teams played possession type ball in the opening frame with Greenup getting a 6-3 edge. The Tigers also led 23-18 at the rest stop but Russell came back to knot the count at 32-32 as the final eight minutes began. John McCracken led Greenup with 15 as Richard Jackson added 12 and Steve Wright 10. City: Greenup. Ky. Coach: George Arrington. Conference: Eastern Kentucky. Last year’s record: 22-11. Prospects: Tigers were plenty tough last season, and they’ll probably be tougher this time. But .so is the schedule, so the record may not be quite as good. It wouldn’t be wise to bet that it won’t, however. Height and experience are plentiful. • Four seniors, including high- scoring Richard Jackson 16-3 3 . are back. Others are Ennis Griffith and John Mc- Cracken. both 6-1. and Steve Wright 6-0-. Junior Doug Wil- liams also hits the 6-1 mark in height. DEC. J, «I Vanceburg; t Raceland; .
