A NICE CROWD LAST NIGHT FOR THE MAQUOKETA-MANCHESTER WEST DELEWARE GIRL'S BASKETBALL GAME LAST NIGHT AT THE NEW MCHS GYM.    BUT, SINCE THE
GYM IS SO LARGE, THERE WERE STILL LOTS OF EMPTY SEATS.    AND DESPITE
THE LESS THAN FULLHOUSE CROWD, THE PARKING LOT WAS FULL.     MORE PARKING IS NEEDED AT THE HIGH SCHOOL.
UP AT MANCHESTER EARLIER THIS SEASON, MAQUOKETA LOST TO THE
WEST DELAWARE HAWKS.    FORMER MCHS GRADUATE CRAIG HUTTON IS AN
ASSISTANT COACH FOR THE  HAWKS.    BUT LAST NIGHT, THE  CARDINALS
DOMINATED THE 2ND HALF AND WENT ON TO AN EASY VICTORY, 52 TO 35.
LEADING SCORER FOR MAQUOKETA WAS DEVON O'CONNELL, WHO HAD A GAME-HIGH 13 POINTS.   SHE IS ONLY A SOPHOMORE.    ANOTHER SOPHOMORE PLAYING  QUITE A BIT LAST NIGHT WAS ERICA SUTTON.       THE CARDINAL TEAM
ONLY HAS 3 SENIORS.
AT MANCHESTER LAST NIGHT,THE CARDINAL BOYS ALSO BEAT THE  HAWKS,
46 TO 36.   TYLER RUTENBECK WAS TOP SCORERER FOR THE CARDS WITH
12 POINTS.
