BLUEJAY UPSET

Fredrick’s Goal in Last Sec-
onds Gives Monett Thrill-
ing 35-34 Win

Greenwood high’s luck ran
out last night, but there was
no letup in the thrills the
Bluejays have been giving
their basketball faithful.

The score was 35-34 for Monett,
a basket by long Leon Fredrick in
the last 5 seconds settling the issue
—but look what happened.

With a half-minute to go,
Greenwood was stalling on its
one-point lead and the crowd
was screaming in excitement. The
Bluejay players thought they
heard a whistle and tossed the
ball to Referee John Flummerfelt,
who was standing out of bounds.
Flummerfelt said he _ hadn’t
whistled, so gave the. ball. to
Monett. The Cubs hurried to a
score and Greenwood barely had
retrieved the ball when the game
ended.

Even Coach J. H. (Speedy) Collins
thought he heard the whistle.

Monett led 10-5 at the first quar-
ter and 19-11 at halftime, but the
Bluejays warmed up and sprinted
to a 24-22 advantage as the last
quarter opened. Once Greenwood
enjoyed a five-point lead in that
last period, but most of the way it
was see and saw.

Fredrick scored 19 points, 12 of
them in the first half, while Ralph
Bowen led Greenwood with 15.
Monett’s B team won a 22-11 pre-
minary,
