" Last Minute Shoppers " Reserves Taste First Defeat as CV Wins 40-35 The Plattsmouth Reserves just couldn't do anything right Thursday night and went down to their first defeat in four games at the hands of College View Reserves. The Lincolnites copped the game 40-35. It was a combination of 25 personal fouls and dull pla3'ing afield that spelled Plattsmouth's doom. The margin of victory came from the free throw line where College View connected on 16 of the 44 shots afforded them, although Plattsmouth outscored them from the field, 13-12. Coach Eugene Shields used 13 players in seeking out a workable combination, and none seemed effective. The Devils trailed 4-7 after one period and was behind 11-23 at the inter mission. A steady upward climb failed to hold out for the Devils, who whittled the margin to 25-34 at the three quarter mark but lacked the punch to win in the final stanza. Larry Pierce, a surprise per former in the contest, seeing action in his first game, led the Blue Devils with 9 points, along with Jim Graves who also came through with 9 counters. They were "the only two impressive scorers, however. Plattsmouth hit only 9 of 30 free throws and even missed the services of Eugene Dasher, sophomore forward, who was in jured when knocked to the floor while attempting to score. Dasher's injured arm has been placed m a splint. Walker led College View Re serves with 14 points. . Plattsmouth FG lead and was never threatened thereafter. But early going was rough as Plattsmouth moved farther in j front of the conference stand- 1 ings. After taking an early 1-0 j lead, the Devils had to overcome early College View leads before moving into a comfortable mar gin. College View led 2-1, 5-2 and 8-7 before Stewart's crew zoom ed into the lead to stay. Jim Jacques and John Ah rens, who shared scoring hon ors for Plattsmouth with 14 points, gunned the first period attack as Plattsmouth assumed a 14-10 margin. Neither team was effective in the second per iod as the halftime ended 22-15 Plattsmouth. Tom Ccnis assumed the scor ing role in the third period as Plattsmouth warmed up to the situation. Conis hit four quick field goals, and along with two by Jon Schuetz, pushed the Devils out of range. Reserves took over the reins for the PJatters throughout most of the final period, after Plattsmouth had held an 18 point lead. The Viewmen whitt led the margin down in the late minutes of the game. Jacques and Ahrens each con tributed six points in the first period en route to the 14 points totals. Jacques was especially effective under the basket, scoring on several tip-ins and sweeping both boards consistently. Performing his regular steady game, Conis finished with 12 Viewmen Only ten fouls were called against the Platters, smallest number this season. However, Plattsmouth could hit on only 11 of the 24 gift tosses it re ceived from the 16 College View mistakes. In taking the win, Platts mouth moved two games in front of the Ak-Sar-Ben con ference race. Valley and West side were also loop victims of the defending champions. College View s Westbrook cop ped individual scoring honors in the Thursday night clash with 5. to nip Anrens and Jacques, but he lacked the all-around team support afforded by the Blue Devils.
