IN 1-A BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT ACTION LAST NIGHT HERE IN TOWN,
UNDEFEATED BELLEVUE MARQUETTE WON AGAIN, DEFEATING PRINCE OF PEACE OF CLINTON, BY 29 POINTS. I SAW THE GAME. THE MARQUETTE CENTER, JORDAN EGLSEDER, STANDS 7-FOOT. HE'S BIG TOO AND WORKS WELL UNDER THE BASKET. HE (SENIOR) HAS SIGNED AN AGREEMENT TO PLAY WITH UNI IN CEDAR FALLS. MARQUETTE IS OUR BEST BET TO MAKE IT TO THE STATE TOURNAMENT FROM THIS AREA. ALSO NORTHEAST BOYS COULD GO AND THE BELLEVUE GIRLS (PUBLIC SCHOOL) NEED JUST ONE MORE WIN AND THEY WOULD GO, BUT HAVE A STRONG OPPONENT, TIPTON,THIS SATURDAY NIGHT.
