He did a fantastic display of shooting in the third period. ‘“‘Lake-Lehman pl- ayed exceptionally well.

There were no pins for either team. We had five sophomores in our lineup and, overall, I'm pleased with the progress they are making. : ‘Saturday night, Jerry Ed Yakabovicz saved us points by not being pin- ned.
