Super Fly Inc. Captures Title
"Hoop" Intramura
by Dave Lojewski
Sports Editor
Super Fly Ine. took advantage
of mental mistakes made by die
Texas Taters and came up with a
44 to 41 victory for the Intramural
League Championship. Super Fly
had the lead with 5:58 minutes
remaining in the game and tried
to run out the clock with a stall.
The stall was effective for two
and a half minutes until Robb
Johnson was fouled. He made the
first but missed the second for a
40-37 lead. The Taters fought
right back and Rick Kline con
verted from the top of the key ana
the Taters were within one point
of a victory. Super Fly, however,
wasn’t about to roll over and play
dead. Again they put on the stall
but the ball was stolen by Elmer
Stevens who drove the length of
the court and put the Taters in the
lead 41-40. The tide was turned
and now Super Fly was behind.
They brought the ball down court
but were called for a three second
violation. At this point it seemed
that the Taters had it sewn up.
After two stolen passes by Roger
Nolan and two missed shots by
Super Fly, the Taters again had
possession of the ball with less
than a minute left. Instead of
freezing the ball the Taters made
a mental error. They tried to take
a shot. The shot was no good and
Super Fly was given another
chance.
Trying to get the ball in Big
Robb Johnson drew a foul with 20
seconds remaining and Robb
converted on both for a 42-41
Super Fly lead. Rick Kline tried a
jumper with five seconds left but
the shot rolled off the rim. Roger
Nolan was fouled onThe rebound

really sharp and we showed a
good extra effort.”
Julio’s pin started the match off
with excitement, as usual the only
thing now was to keep the
momentum going.
Keith had a little trouble get

throw, Robb Johnson reached
over everyone and tipped in the
shot at the buzzer and sealed
Super Fly’s victory.
Both teams had made it to the
championship with convincing
eight point victories in the semi
final games. The Taters defeated
W.D.S.A. 47 to 39 and Super Fly
Inc. beat the Homy Dozen Minus
Two, 60 to 52.
Right from the start of the
game things did not go well for
Super Fly Inc. Instead of having
the customary jump ball the
Texas Taters were at the foul line
shooting a technical foul charged
to Super Fly. It seemed as if the
undefeated Taters were on their
way to the title as they played
flawless ball for the first few
minutes. They jumped to a quick
6-0 lead and stymied Super Fly
with their 2-1-2 zone defense. The
double-teamed Super Fly’s
gigantic Robb Johnson who has
convincingly been the team’s
outstanding player throughout
the regular season, and seemed to
have the game under control.
Suddenly it seemed as if the
roof fell in on them. They started
playing erratically, throwing
away passes and missing easy lay
ups. While all this was going on,
Super Fly finally ignited. Instead
of being down by six, Super Fly,
led by Robb Johnson, was in
command and found themselves
up by as many points as they
were once behind. Johnson drove,
tipped and jumped his way to four
quick baskets combined with two
from Bob Britton to give their
team a 12-6 lead, which was the
largest lead of the night.
once he was warmed up he made
a beautiful split scissors pin.
Jeff came across in the first
two periods with a near pin but
slowed a little in the third period
but still came out on top.
Hearing a score of 14-3 sounds
like someone really got killed but
in the 142 weight class it wasn’t
so. Mark Flint (C) was a smart
mover and was quick for some
fast points. Larry’s three points
were all escapes.
Brad wrestled with his usual
efficiency and got a pin in 4
minutes, 20 seconds.
Mike was very aggressive but
had a bit of a problem getting off
the bottom and with an escape for
both the score at the end of this
match was a 1-1 tie.
Brian, having had some
problems with a bad arm, came
through also with the best of
fensive take down resulting in a
pin after which a Cub victory was
secure.
Al, Tom, and Ken had a bit of
misfortune but Case-Western’s
top three men are their best.
The coach said the boys are
beginning to perk up and look
sharp which they haven't since
Christmas. Possibly, the coach
admitted, the coming pep rally
helped, knowing it was coming
and the home game Tuesday
made them want to come home
looking good.

Finally the Taters relaxed and
started to come back. Although
the play was considered sloppy,
Super Fly’s lead was starting to
crumble. It took almost seven
minutes of poor playing until the
Taters re-ignited their offense.
Rick Kline hit from the left corner
to put the Taters within two, 15-
17.
Brian Heenan stole a pass and
hit from the key and knotched the
game at 17. A fast break by Kline
and a jumper from Watachien put
the Taters up by four, 21-17, with
only fifteen seconds before the
half. Bob Britton drove in a layup
for Super Fly and Elmer Stevens
hit a shot at the buzzer for a 23-19
half time lead in favor of the
Texas Taters.
The second half proved
decisive for Super Fly as Bob
Britton, and Robb Johnson
combined for 21 points. The game
was a seesaw battle all the way
up to the final buzzer as Super Fly
survived for its close victory.
The statistics showed how close
the game actually was. The lead
had been exchanged a total of ten
times and the game was
stalemated seven times. Robb
Johnson led all the scoring as he
hit for 25 points. Bob Britton
helped his teammate as he
chipped in 13. Rick Kline led the
losers with 19.

Behrend’s Cubs made their
longest trip last Saturday to
Frostburg State College but the
Cubs were rather outplayed
again. The score at the end of the
first half was Frostburg, 50,
Behrend, 32, and at the final
buzzer the score board showed
Frostburg, 90, Behrend, 73. In the
area of foul shots, Frostburg was
16 for 25, and Behrend made 11 of
their possible 21. Mike Hook and
Larry Szoszorek grabbed most of
the rebounds.

Something should be said about
Wednesday’s game with Mer
cyhurst. The Cubs played an
exceptionally good game and the
half time score was 32-30, Mer
cyhurst. In the second half the
Lakers could do nothing wrong
and, although our Cubs were still
playing a good game, the Lakers
kept making their shots count and

the final score was 78-53. To the
spectators, an added noted of
thanks. Laker fans could set an
example of the kind of team
support that every school should
have. Everyone cheers and
proves they are behind their
team. From the floor one could
not only hear, but see one person
in particular cheering—thank you
