Trojans broke the game open
in the third quarter by out
scoring Walter Johnson, 1876.
Butler scored eight points
and Braxton six to lead Mackin
in the deciding third quarter.
But the big difference was the

backboards. Art took control of
the rebounding in the second
half and Walter johnson was
doomed to its third defeat in
10 games.
Dave Yates scored 10 points
