Madison dominated the early play, taking a quick seven-point lead on scoring from Tammy Brown and Denise Thomason. A pair of baskets by Robin Frisby and two free throws from Tammy Brown gave the Lady Patriots a 10-6 lead after the first quarter of play. Tammy Brown dominated play underneath the boards on both ends of the floor, picking up six points in the second quarter and starting several fast break scoring plays. With 3:06 remaining in the half, the Lady Pats retained their 13-point advantage when Brown stole a Squaw pass at the top of the key, fed a pass to Denise Thomason, who in turn passed to Robin Frisby for an easy lay-up. With 2:06 left, Frisby completed the first half Madison scoring by connec ting on a pair of free throws. Madison held a 31-20 lead at halftime. to come within five points, 38-33.

Lions Nip Milligan, 61-60 BY BOB KOEN1G Despite a variety of medical maladies that plague half the squad, the young Lions of Mars Hill fought back from a 14-point deficit to edge visiting Milligan College Monday night at Chambers Gym nasium. In what is becoming typical fashion, the Lions overcame a disastrous start to catch the Buffaloes in the closing minutes. They did it with a cast of walking wounded while two starters looked on from the bench, banished because of fouls. The Buffaloes, who are struggling through a season that has seen them compile a record of 2-16 going in, jumped out to an early advantage. Before the Lions could get started, Milligan was sitting on a 11-0 lead. Mars Hill rallied back through the mid dle fo the opening half, only to take a 12-point, 39-27 deficit in to the lockerroom at half. Freshman Todd Blondin, looking more like a boxer than a basketball player, helped revive the slumping Lions in the early minutes of the se cond half. Blondin took eight stitches above his eye in Saturday's contest against Central Weslyan. Before departing with five fouls, Blondin scored seven points and hauled down four re bounds for Mars Hill, Sophomore forward Pierre Lamitte followed Blondin to the bench after collecting his fifth personal with 4:11 re maining and Mars Hill trailing by seven. The final five minutes of the Monday night contest could have been called "The Steve Dooley Show." The Lion co captain put on a defensive display that turned out the lights on the Buffaloes' hopes. With 3:56 left, the junior for ward sank a pair of free throws to pull Mars Hill within five, 60-55. An outside jumper from 15 feet and a twisting, driving layup over three defenders brought Mars Hill within one, 60-59 with three minutes left. With just 2:17 left, it was Dooley again, this time draw ing a fowl underneath the basket. The team's leading fowl shooter, Dooley canned both ends of a one-and-one to give the Lions their margin of victory. The Buffaloes had one final shot at victory, but Joe White's rebound of a missed Milligan shot with three seconds left ended the dramatic comeback. A pleased head coach Bob Roniai told reporters after ward, "We showed that we can come back tonight. Maybe we can't play healthy. We've had guys out with the flu, guys hurt with knee injuries and Blondin wasn't 100 percent. We haven't been healthy since Dec. 2." Ronai praised the play of his co-captains, Dooiey and sophomore guard Jerry Brooks. Ronai told reporters, "Dooiey and Brooks became our captains tonight. They came of age and showed some leadership on the court. Dooiey wanted the ball and brooks got it to him." The comeback win snapped a five-game losing streak for Mars Hill. In other action last week, the Lions dropped a 101-78 decision to Guilford Col lege Thursday and a 92-88 overtime decision to Central Weslyan at home Saturday night. In the Central Weslyan game, the Lions held a 16-point lead before falling in overtime. Even in the celebration following Monday's win, the loses were on Ronai's mind. He said, "I really feel we are going to be a good team. We're young and a young team is go ing to go through the slumps. Sometimes it just takes one play, like missing an easy layup, to rattle & young team. When two to four of your starters are hurting and can't practice, it makes things pret ty difficult." Dooley's 26 points led all scorers. The Lion co-captain was the only Lion to hit for double figures. Before depar ting, Todd Blondin scored seven. Pierre Lamitte, Pete Balidi and Steve McDonald each had six points. Joe White had five, Russell Foster three, and Tony Mitchell two points on a pair of free throws.
