Helmville Mustangs Tamed by Lynx in Junior High Game

The Lincoln Junior High Lynx combined A and B teams took on a small group of Helmville Mustangs Thursday, Dec. 5, in the Lincoln school gym.

The final score, 28-13, showed how outnumbered the visitors were, but the contest was made more interesting by two Mustang ladies who scored most of their team's baskets and who were tall enough to grab most of the rebounds.

Only fifth graders, the gals may have lots of hoops success in their future.

Seventh grade shooter Andrew Brown was the high scorer for the Lynx with 14 points. In second place was Roegun Dietz with six points and five rebounds. Dietz wowed the fans with several reverse layups and a take-no-prisoners defense. Asa Lattin, a fifth grader with a hot hand, also canned six points.

The team was hampered by several boys out sick with the flu, giving playing opportunities to some younger B team fellows. As a whole, the team showed improvement in strong passes, intense defense and in setting up on offensive plays.
