A staunch defense and some
clutch play by freshman Jeff
Madden puUed St. Andrews
out of the fire, as they edged
Coker 61-59. The Knights
raised their record to 2-1 with
their second victory over the
Cobras this season.
“We appeared a bit nervous
in front of the home crowd,”
coach Doug RUey said. “But,
they played a good game,
otherwise they wouldn’t have
won. Last year, Coker won the
same tpe of ballgame; this
year, we won with mostly fr-
shmen on the floor.
“They’re young and made a
lot of mistakes, but I saw qite
a bit of improvement out there
also, ■niey rebounded very
well. And our defense was out
standing, it saved the game
for us.”
After rolling out to a 12-6
lead in the first five mnutes of
play, the Knights hit a dry
spell. Te Cobras took ad
vantage of the situation,
closing tne margin and then
building a lead of tiieir own.
That set the scene for the rest
of the game. By the half St.
Andrews had battled its way
to a 31-29 lead.
Tliat lead withered as the
second period began and
Coker outscored their hosts
eight to two in three minutes.
Ttie Cobras stretched their
lead to six before the Knighs
began to fight back. Fresh
man Jeff Madden at the post
then took the reigns and
scored nine straight points
giving SA a one point lead.
Coker came back once again,
however, and extended a
seven point lead.
With just under eight
minutes remaining. Butch
Keller cut across the lane and
sank a seven foot shot to cut
the deficit to one. Micah Lee
then scored on a layup after a
steal and St. Andrews lead 58-
57. Coker recovered the lead
temporarily on a basket.
— • •
Keller waws then fouled, but
missed on a one and one. With
less than a minute left St.
Anrews hopes were quickly
faltering untU Madden’s arms
came high over the rim for his
tenth rebound. He turned and
sot returning the single point
edgetotheKhi^ts.
Coker had another chance
but was carged with two in
fractions in less than ten
seconds sending Dave Sillam-
paa to the foul line. He sank
one for the final 61-59. On their
last trip down the court, the
Cobras threw up a desperation
shot and Sillampaa grabbed
the rebound to end the con-
testt.
Co-captain Butch Keller was
the high scorer with 16, along
with the Cobras’ Ernie Nim-
mons. Center Jeff Madden ad
ded 13 more points and lead
the team with 10 rebounds.

■nie Knights traveled to
Maryville, TN, and fell to a

squad 74-63. The defense did,

St. Andrews fell behind

half ended, 41-32. Ttiey fought
back once again as the second
period began. But their play
was spotty and Maryville ap
peared to have the upperhand.
With just six minutes left in
the contest, the host team
went into a staU using thefour
COTTiers, as they held a six
point lead. St. Andrews failed
to break the stalling tactics
and only fell three more points
behind as time ran out. Fresh
men Dave York, Wayne
Malone and Dick Gilbert lead
the Knights effort. York was
the high scorer for SA with 17,
hitting eight field goals.
Malone and Gilbert had ten

The course that never ends
\rtiere we played well on one
end of the floor and sloppy on
the other,” commented coach
Doug Riley. “We didn’t have
the intensity of play tiiat we
really need^ to win. Our tran
sitions from offense to defense
were slow and that hurt us
badly. It is just going to take
soje time to get 40 minutes of
good play from such a young
team and that is what it takes
to win.”
“This was probaU one of the
best fundamental teams that
we have met or will meet this
year. They played a very fast
game. We played their top
man very well with Gilbert,
Micah Lee and Mike Breeden
sticking with him most of the
game. But then we let two
other players get free all night
long. We just need to play fun
damentals.”
