after shot from the outside corner, Pat Lavalli nearly broke the
Saline Hornets' vanuted 1-3-1 zone

final six minutes as the Dexter
Dreadnaughts dropped a non-
League match to the Hornets, 56-
51.

Friday, 70-50, while the Dreadnaughts made easy work of Pinckney, 50-21. Tomorrow Saline hosts

the big game.
Stellar teamwork and the steady
shooting eye of Si Woods gave the
Hornets the edge Tuesday, in a
game that saw both teams play
a heads-up, exciting brand of ball.
Using a man-to-man defense
most of the evening, Dexter grabbed an early 9-7 lead in the first
quarter. Two field goals and a
free throw by Woods pulled the
Hornets out of the fire that time,
however, and Saline stayed at least
two points ahead of the Dreadnaughts through the third period.

lay-up, but O'Malley popped up
from the foul circle for another
two pointer and Dexter led again,
47-46.
Lavalli countered jump shots
by Woods with another bucket
from the same old spot, then
matched a lay-up by Earl Culliton
with a long-range beauty from the
center of the court. England finally
got 'the lead for the Hornets for
good with just two minutes left,
52-51, with Simpson adding two
quick lay-ups to salt the game
away.
Lavalli tallied seven field goals in
the second half and ran up a 21-
