Kaskaskia, on the other hand, was breaking through on their court for baskets.Mt. Carmel High School HostsRegional Tournament Next Weekby Dave tlurlbutMt. Carmel High School will be the scene of this year's regional tournament, Monday, February 27 to Friday, March 3. The champion of this tour-nament will advance into the sectional tournament at Eldorado.Teams in this tournament will be Mt. Carmel, Mt. Vernon, Grayville, Fairfield, Ed-Both teams put up tight de-fenses which kept the scoring down to a minimum.Giving WVC center Wayne Ackerman, 6'4” freshmanfrom Carml, a lot of trouble was Kaskaskla's starter Bill Hel-mann, an inch and a half taller. After the first half, Kaskaskia coach Chuck Mundell subbed Harlan Gerrish for Heimann, who had compiled four personals.Gerrish still meant trouble for WVC's short center, as Gerrish stood at 6’8”. However, Ackerman got past Heimann and Gerrish often enough to lead all four teams in the ni-ght s scoring, racking up 23 points for Wabash Valley.The Warriors were behind by five points in the half andtournament, they will probably face the Benton Rangers In the first round of sectional play. Last year the Rams met the Rangers in this same situation and it took a late Benton rally to avoid an upset last March.The Mules of Fairfield have a fine one-two punch in the scoring department with Steve Cox and Bob Clayton who arenever picked up the lead again or shortened that margin.KASKASKIA—36Kaskaskia Tops Wabash ValleyFG FT PF TPBryant62314Kegler56116Heimann3046Mulvaney• 300’ iDoehring42110Gerrish0030Dahncke0212Ggrrett’ 0202Jenkins0010Totals21141456WABASH VALLEY—19FGFTPFTPDuvall4038Dennis101JAckerman95323Johnson3036Scott2448Fox, 0000Inskeep1022Totals2091649Scores byhalfS•Kaskaskia2531-56Wabash Valley2029-49Olney-BellevilleBelleville gave Olney a run for their money last night, pulling out from a nine-point trail at the half to finally over take the famous Blue Knights of Olney, with 57-54 in Belleville’s favor, nine minutestogo in the game.Speedy Steve Glodo, standing only at 5’7”, led the Belle-BOWLvilllans by taking 15 points for the Dutchmen. Glodo, small quarterback-' for Belleville, coolly led his Dutchmen from behind the boards to top Olney late in the second half.In the last minutes of the Olney-Belleville game, scoring and action was frantic, as Olney refused to bow to a defeat by Belleville, which would have been a disgracing blow to Olney; and as Belleville refused to relinquish their hold.At 57-54 (Belleville's favor), Olney picked up two field goals and a free throw to move them to 59 and Belleville picked up a free throw, putting the score at 58-59 in Olney's favor, three and a half minutes to go.Belleville began fouling, as the score moved to 64-60 forThen, Belleville's Dennis Russell committed two technicals, pushing an Olney player and the referee, as both teams rushed to the center of the floorto cool tempers.Olney took the shots on thetechnicals and walked over victors, 67-60.In the first round of action, Tuesday night, Wabash Valley defeated Mt. Vernon and Belleville defeated Southeastern. El-imlnations last night moved the Conference leaders into the cha-mplonship game.Olney, with a 9-1 conference record, has lost only once - toKaskaskia. Kaskaskia sports an8-2 record, and the excellence of both teams should make it an interesting game.Combatting Kaskaskia's two big centers, Heimann and Gerrish, will be Big Jim Campbell and Tom Ctrks. At205 pounds, Campbell is one of the biggest players in the conference, but is also prone to be one of the clumsiest.Last night, he played little over half of the game, and still racked up four personals In short time. His relief, Tom Cirks, usually causes more trouble for his opponent with-out handing free shots to him.Tonight’s action begins at 8 p.m. in the Mt. Carmel High School gym.413026 67 30 60OLNEY—67FGFTPFTPCirks1315Doris56416Campbell63415Thomann0020McDonald44012Hordes2296Ryan52512Porterfield0101Totals23211967BELLEVILLE—00FGFTPFTPHolliday62514Schulte2125Flamuth0444Reeder50210Russell0020Glodo71415Petty36412Totals23142360Scores by Olney Bellevillehalf;NORTH SCHOOL CHIUSUPPERFriday, Feb. 24—8 :©0 p.m.All You Can Eat:Drink and Dessert$1 jk Adult 50c ChUd
