Inman Tigers Denied
State Tourney Berth
INMAN—Coach Robert Loom
er’s lB55-’56 Inman high Tigers
came to the end of their glory
° trail Friday night.
Even in defeat it was a glori
ous ending because the class D
Tigers already had annexed four
trophies and created a congestion
in the school’s trophy case.
Victors of the Center class D
tourney during the week of Feb
ruary 20-24, the Tigers were as
signed to the Stanton regional
playoff where they emerged vic
torious in the first game—against
Hampton—and were edged out in
the finals—by Dodge.
Dodge represents northeast
Nebraska D schools in the state
tournament this week in Lin
coln.
Earlier in the season, Loomer’s
kids had captured the Sandhills
Gateway conference tourney, they
shared honors with Elgin for the
Sandhills conference chapionship,
they captured the Holt county ti
tle, and, at season’s end, wrapped
up the class D district title. In
the D tourftey they defeated Long
Pine, Verdigre and Page in that
order.
Loomers’ kids posted a season’s
record of 23 wins and three loss
es. The defeats were by narrow
margins: Elgin, 52-53, with two
Inman players sidelined by ill
ness; Ewing, 80-84, and Dodge,
55-63.
Inman 65; Hampton 63
The Tigers had their hands full
in the Hampton fray and barely
squeaked through with a 65-63
win. Hampton led 20-18 at the
end of the first period; 34-28 at
halftime, and 48-38 going into the
storybook fourth period.
Inman applied a full court
press on the Hampton crew in the
final stanza and, at the same
time, generated a surge.
Hampton was in front, 63-58,
with only 45 seconds remaining.
Whereupon Gene Couch put on a
dazzling individual performance.
He sank a free shot and missed
the second. Inman got the ball
when Hampton tried to stall.
Couch connected to bring the Ti
gers within two points.
With seconds remaining,
Hampton resorted to time-kit
ing. Charles Butterfield stole
the ball and Couch fired from
several feet behind the center
circle with one second left. He
connected. That tied up the
game, 63-all, at the end of the
regulation playing time.
In the overtime, Inman recov
ered a Hampton rebound and
played a slow deliberate game
waiting for an opportunity to
score. It came—with Couch on
the business end. Inman then
stalled for 30 seconds and that
ended the matter.
Couch hit 24 points for Inman;
Bob Reimers had 18, and Charley
Butterfield collected 11. For
Hampton, it was Sophomore Le
roy Dick’s 26 points that set the
pace. Ediger had 14 and Fenster
11.
Meanwhile, Dodge defeated
Meadow Grove, 58-37, in the
other half of the semifinals.
Dodge 63; Inman 55
This one—played Friday night
at Stanton — was close until the
third stanza when the state tour
ney-bound Dodgers indulged in
semi-stalling tactics. This drew
out the Inman defenders and set
the stage for short-range layups
which put Dodge comfortably in
front at the close.
Inman led 19-18 at the first
quarter and Dodge went ahead,
33-29, just before the half ended.
Dodge owned a 10-point margin—
55-45—going into the finEil stan
za.
Reimers accounted for 17 points
for Inman, Couch 16, and Butter
field 14. For Dodge, Jerry Wis-1
nieski tallied 24 points, Bush 14, j
and Peitzmeier 10. Wisnieski j
ground out 50 points in the two
games. Couch scored a total of
40.
