(Photo by Richard Henderson)COLLEGE STATION -Larry Williams had his season's best performance as he sifted through the New Caney defense for 22 points, leading AM Consolidated to a 63-45 11-AAA victory over the Eagles in Tiger gym Tuesday night.Williams was everywhere. He played defense, shot from the outside, drove inside and scored on the fast break. The Consol senior was the first Tiger to score more than 20 points in a game this season.While Williams was ripping the New Caney zone apart, the rest of the Tiger team was functioning just as flawlessly. Consol coach Jim Foreman, who is an advocate of sharp execution, saw things happen just like he drew it on the black-board.THE TIGERS kept the brawny Eagle forecourt in check, cutting them off from the basket, and methodically put points on the scoreboard throughout the game.The atmosphere in Tiger gym prior to the tipoff indicated the Tigers, players andFast Break’ Mustangs InvadeG.

The crowd was vocal from the outset. And after the ball was put in play, the Tigers began to respond to the cheering crowd.Consol vaulted out to a 17-8 lead in the first quarter, as Scott Shafer, . along with Williams put on a two-man act. The pair accounted for 12 of the Tigers’ points in the opening period. Williams drove the baseline twice and put in a short bank shot, while Shafer swished the net with three short jumpers to get things rolling for the Tigers early.THE SECOND quarter was filled with fouls, as members from both teams found themselves at the free throw line often. But the Tigers, who have shot well from the line allseason, capitalized on theopportunity more than the Eagles. The Tigers sunk 21 of 25 at the charity stripe during the game for a dazzling 84 per cent, while New Caney only cashed in on half its freebies, hitting 11 of 22.Williams hit a pair of free tosses with 1:16 left in the half, to send the Tigers in the lockerroom with a 28-20 lead.John Wooddell, New Caney’s top player, opened the third quarter with two straight buckets to cut the Consol lead to four. Then things began to look even worst for the Tigers, as Williams was injured and was helped from the floor. The Consol wingman was knocked to the hardwoods, and hit his head on the fall. He waspractically carried to the bench by a couple of Consol partisans.BUT PHILIP Steen, who had been shut out in the game up tothis point, took up the slack with six third-quarter points to help keep the Tiger lead intact. With 4:46 left in the third quarter, the score 32-26, a recuperated Williams trotted back onto the court.Just to show everybody he was all right, Williams sunk a 17-footer, and a seven-foot baseline jumper to put the Tigers up by 10 with 2:48 left in the third stanza. Tempers flared and the Eagles’ James Quinn drew a technical. A quartet of free throws by the Tigers in the closing seconds of the third quarter made the score, 40-30, with one quarter left to play.Then the Tigers really got hot. They scored 23 points in the final period to New Caney’s 15, opening up an 18-point lead which they ended the gamewith.sportsCONSOL’S GEORGE Hilton must be a crowd pleaser, because the fans cheered when he ran onto the floor with a little less than two minutes to play. Then with the waning seconds ticking away Hilton drove in and scored, and the crowd roared. It was truly Consols finest night of the 75-76 basketball season.Steen was the only Tiger besides Williams in double figures with 11 points. New Caney was led by Wooddell’s 18 points, with Billy Minor hitting 10 in a supporting role.The AM Consolidated Junior Varsity can claim partial credit for the emotional pitch of the Tiger fans, as it pounded the Eagle B-team 69-57 in a marathon foulfest. There were 77 fouls called in the game, 36 on Consol and 41 on New Caney.The younger Tigers got the crowd in a cheering mood, as they scraped and hustled to take a commanding lead in the(See MUSTANGS, Page 2B)(See CONSOL Page 3B)
