Columbus Groves lineup is
dominated by underclassmen, as
they are starting two soph-

senior. Their major scoring
threat is usually junior Lynn
Darbyshire, with help from Jer-

Cory Rawson, considered to
be a major threat in the Han
cock county race, has made a
slow start this year. They have
been handicapped by the absence
of Lynn Young, who had been
counted on to be their top scor-
er. A leg injury has kept him on
the bench for most of the season.
