ASHLEY'S TWO POINT VICTORY
GUSTS LONDON FROM TOURNEY
RAIDERS UNABLE
TO FIND BASKET
RN LYn Martin

LHS Red Raiders lost a heart
breaking 46-44 decision with the
Delaware County champs, Ashley,
in the Class 3 Tournament at
Westerville Saturday AFTERNOON.
Prior to game time the
Delaware Countians were given
little chance against the favored
London quintet, but as the game
progressed, it looked more and
more like AShley's day. The con-
test was close all the way, even
tied at q all in the second quart
er, but from then on, Ashley hit
and London didn't.
Throughout the whole season
the Raiders never had such
trouble finding the basket as they
did Saturday They were in there
pushing, fighting desperately all
the way but just couldn't get the
BAH to 60 through the basket. The
Ashley squad sunk one less field
goal than London, but Ashley
cashed in on II out of II charit-
les, while the Raiders hit only
8 out of 22
Yes, Saturday was sad day for
us Londoners; no more trips to
Westerville this year, no more
Raider basketball for senior Gag
ers Tom Bopeley, Don Cain and

their coach can boast It'd re-
cord and share the Mid-Six crown
with Marysvslle. The over all pic
ture is still me to be proud of.

But since most of the home
