The Marysville-Sun frac-
as was the third of the season
with the two previous encounters
both going to Sunbury. 1t was
the second time Plain City had
defeated Worthington, although
the regular season game was on
ly by five points, on Plain City's
floor.
For that matter, Marysville and
Plain City have played each 9TH
er twice this season, with the
Scotties winning both in a couple
of thrillers. Their first encounter
was on the Marysville floor, with
Plain City winning by one point
on a last-second basket by Jer-
ry Headlee. The second game, at
Plain City, was won by the Scot
ties by seven points.
Plain City Favored Again
Whether Marysville will be
able to turn back the highly
favored Plain City outfit Friday
night is doubtful to most obSer-
vers. They feel that the Scotties
have too much height and shoot
ing ability for the Monarchs to
match
But close followers of the Ma
rySville team this year feel that
the MonarchS not only have a
good chance of winning, but are
very apt to do so. The team it
self is a determined bunch of
young men who will be out to
give it everything they have.
Plain City, however, is just as
determined. The Scotties have
gone . to Westerville with good
teams before, but have yet to
win their first title. They feel
that this is their year and have
vowed they won't be denied.
AT any rate, it ought to make
for right interesting little bas-
ketball game.
Lead Changes Seven Times
The Marysville SunbUry frac-
as was a tight affair all the way,
The score was tied three times
and the lead changed hands
seven times during the 80 min
utes of play. With four minutes
left to go, Sunbury was leading

Wildcats were still ahead, 1928

Then Jack Mcclure dropped
in a neat rebound shot to make
! it 26-25. Sunbury took the ball
out of bounds and tried tC
freeze" it for the remainder OF
the game. In their excitement
! however, a Sunbury lad tried tc
pass the ball underneath his
own basket. Dean Scheiderer in
tercepted the pass and laid the
ball in for the winning goal with
less than 10 seconds remaining.
Even though winning, the Mon
archs played one of its poorer
games of the season. Their bas
ket shooting form, in particular
was way off The chart showed
Marysville taking 81 shots a
