leading Freeman Academy Bobcats. The game was tied, three, four times in the first half
and the lead switched on nine occasions. Now lets go to Larry Bjorgem (?) for the stat
side of this game.

[Larry Bjorgem(?):] Hi, Danny, as you mentioned both teams do have six field goals
here at halftime. Freeman has hit on, Freeman Flyers has hit on six of twenty one for
28.6% while the Freeman Academy has hit on 6 of 25 for 24%. The Academy hit only
on one field goal and nine of ten from the first quarter for a cool 11%. (?) Came back in
the second quarter hitting on 5 of 16 for 31.2%.

The Freeman Flyers hit on 2 of 10 in the first quarter also very cool for 20%. But 4 in the

second quarter on 11 attempts for 36.4 %. Freeman Flyers have out rebounded the
Freeman Academy team today. Freeman Flyers picked off 12 in the first quarter, 11 in
the second quarter for a half time total of 23. While the Academy had 9 in each quarter
for a half time total of 18. In the turnover department, the Academy turned the ball over
2 times in the first quarter, 3 in the second for a half time total of 5. While the Flyers
turned the ball over 6 times in the first quarter, 5 times in the second quarter for a half
time total of 11. Again in this game, as in the first game, the teams have been hitting
very well from the freethrow line. Freeman Flyers have one more freethrow here then the
Academy at halftime. Freeman hit on 12 of 14 attempts from the freethrow line for
85.7%. Whereas the Academy had one less freethrow, 11, but 16 attempts for a
respectable 68.8%.

The leading rebounders for the Freeman Flyers here at half time. Kaufman had 7. Weier
who is in foul trouble and did not play for about half of the second quarter had picked off
6. For the Academy Hofer has five. And LaMarr Waltner has 4 to be their leaders in
rebounds From the field, Aman for the Flyers hit on 3 of 8 attempts. Lehmann for the
Academy hit on 3 of 7 attempts at halftime. So, again, Flyers hitting 28.6% here at
halftime while the Academy hitting 24 %. Flyers hitting on 12 for 14 from the freethrow
line for 85.7%. Leading (?) them to their one point lead here at half time. As they lead
the Freeman Academy 24-23. [And again in that first game, the Harrisburg Tigers
proved to be victorious over the Parker Pheasants as they won 57-55. And now I believe
Danny has a few more scores. ]

HALF TIME

Funny what the old record books will yield.

We were going through the archives last night and have decided that 1962 was the all
time record year for overtimes in tournament play as far as our coverage is concerned.

We had twelve overtime periods that year. Overtimes in all three of the State
Tournaments. Plus district and regional tournaments. And 1960 was quite an overtime
year. We had the Preston and Hayti sudden death overtime in Brookings that we'll never
forget as well as overtimes in District 18 and District 17 Three overtimes in the State B,
two overtimes in the State A and eleven overtime periods all total.

24-23 here. Freeman leading the Freeman Academy Bobcats. The lead changed hands
nine times The game was tied four times in the first half.

The Freeman Flyer enrollment is 149. The Freeman Academy enrollment is 75.
Freeman's population 1400. Freeman, by the way, is one of the cities bidding for the
State Amateur baseball tournament this coming summer along with Salem. And we
understand those two towns are bidding most strenuously. Or seriously. Or
enthusiastically. One of the three.

THIRD QUARTER

Here's the tip-off, Hofer gets loose and goes under to SCORE! Freeman Academy

Academy. 32-28, Freeman Academy leading. Preheim comes out of the corner and
there's a whistle on, if its Graber he's out of here. Tim Graber, that's number five and
that's who it is. That's bad news for the Freeman Academy Bobcats and Bruce Mueller
as Tim Graber a real hustler, defensive star as fouled out with 3:55 left in the third
quarter. He leaves with eight points. It's a blow to the Academy hopes. They do lead as
he departs. He has six rebounds. Graber did and eight points. A good ball game.

kids get started jump shooting at that freethrow line as youngsters when its hard to get
that ball up there and they maintain the habit. Down the lane now comes Lehmann. His
shot not good. The follow is not good. And the whistles halt play. Penalty on Al Weier.
He has fouled out. (?) the man on fouls. Al, very instrumental in this Freeman Flyer

Lehmann charged by the officials with his fourth foul. Dennis trying to get the ball
struck the hand of Dale Aman. Who goes to the line. [Hayti has defeated Bryant
tonight. 57-49 in one overtime. And how do you like that one? The old worm turns.
Bryant had beat them twice. And Bryant is out of there as Hayti has staged one of the
first upsets of Tournament play tonight in District 12 in Watertown. Hayti 57 - Byrant 49
in one overtime.]

Gettysburg defeated Battle, 73-46 in District 7 at Shelby. And at District 8 in Waverly,
Revillo 64, Clear Lake 56, the final score. Oldham (?) beating Erland (?) 51-37 in
District 11 play at Brookings and Trout defeating Henry 73-30 in District 4 (?) But I
would assume that would be a half-time score, Hoven over Harriet, 39-29 in District 7 at
Shelby. A final. A final score. Sounds more like a half.]

Hofer at the freeshot line, now. Jump shoots short. Ball is recovered by Carlos Hofer.
His shot is up and in. Fouled to boot. Hofer is fouled as he makes the basket. Carlos

across, no one can get to it and finally saved on a great play by Bruce Hofer, but the

has played.

Here's Burnell Glanzer for the Freeman Flyers now with three and a half minutes [3:30].
Here's Aman's turnshot bouncing not good, rebound Hofer and LaMarr Waltner
does recover it. [ Final score is Hovan 56, Harried 51. It has not a final before. Hovan 56,
Harried 51. In what might be a mild surprise in District 7 Harried had the best record, 11
and 7 and Hovan 8 and 13 going in.]

Fouled called here on the Academy and to the line will be Kim Wilde. The lead changed
hands twelve times here before the Academy got it for what has been quite a stretch now
in the third period. Free shot not good. Recovered by the Academy. Up court now

comes Bruce Hofer. He is double teamed, pass off and the whistle blows on Rick
Preheim. His fifth. I have him for five. There is a another man to foul out. He's the
fourth Freeman Flyer to foul out. Leaves with nine points. So Freeman has fouled out
four players. Hofer is nine of eleven in the freethrow department rather than nine of ten.
Bruce Hofer that is. Here he is at the line. The little jump shooter. Not good this time.
And the recovery man is Kim Wilde of Freeman Flyers. Heads the ball up court, jump
shoots on the run, ball bounces off not good, the follow shot is not good and the ball is
picked out of there by Kenny Waltner of Freeman Academy. Waltner looking off to

Hofer misjudged and lost out of bounds. 2:43 to go, the Academy leading 60-46.

Here's Burnell Glanzer up floor now for Freeman Academy [meant to say Flyers].
Glanzer hoists a twenty footer way short but Kenny Waltner, I believe got the shooting
hand. He did. Fourth foul. Six boys have fouled out of this ball game. Four from the
Freeman Flyers side and two from Freeman Academy. Here's Wilde at the line. 60-46
the Academy. Shoot bouncing in for Kim Wilde. 60-47. Wilde's second one is good.
60-48. Upcourt now, interception by Jarvis Heckenlaible. He has intercepted He gives

two, Kleinsasser again. Kleinsasser SCORING and its 60-52. And the Academy wants
time out. To steady out. They lead 60-52 in the wake of three baskets here in the space
of 2:36 to 2:09. 2:09 now and its 60-52. Time out on the floor. [Commercial]

Now we're ready to resume play. Freeman with full court pressure on here. In about 27
seconds scored three baskets and almost got back into this ballgame, the Flyers did.
Kenny Waltner up court, another interception by Kleinsasser Here he comes, shot is not
good. He didn't get the shot away, Hofer fouled him. Hofer went for the ball and fouled.
Bruce Hofer trying to head off Greg Kleinsasser who has come in here in relief and has
hit two crucial baskets and you've seen him take on confidence as he got that first one
and was going for his third here until fouled. He's on the one and one. There's 1:57.
It's GOOD! The freeshot is good by Greg Kleinsasser and its 60-53. Seven points now
in half a minute. Second shot is not good. And the recovery by the Academy. Ball is

At the shooting line is Kenny Waltner, now for the Academy. Seven straight points for
the Flyers. Finally that sting is snapped by Waltner and his free throw. Flyers have hit
seven in a row over a stretch of 36, 39 seconds. Second shot is also in the net for Kenny
Waltner. 62-53 and the Academy steadies back to a nine point lead. Flyers attack,
interception by Kenny Waltner. Three quarters court pass, intercepted by Kim Wilde.
Up court to Dale Aman. Bounce pass inline, Kleinsasser SCORES. Kleinsasser gets
loose again to score. Great pass by Aman. 62-55 a minute and a half [1:30]. Upcourt, a
near interception by Kleinsasser who shoulders into on Carlos Hofer. Kleinsasser's
second foul. 62-55.

Nine points to two by the Academy here in the last minute have drawn them rather by the
fire have drawn them back closer. The Academy now getting a freeshot from Carlos
Hofer, 63-55. Second one flicked right in there. He uses a virtually two hand chest shot.
64-55. Upcourt is Kim Wilde. Aman twenty-two footer, in the net. Dale Aman hangs
one from way out. Looks like bombing on that one. 64-57. Academy attacking, trying to
get through. Kleinsasser almost intercepted. Interception by Kim Wilde. Pass off
Intercepted back Intercepted almost back by Wilde. Now intercepted again by

Heckenlaible, to Kleinsasser, its intercepted back by Waltner. It's unbelievable. The
way this ball is changing hands. It must be a potato out of the oven.

Ready to bring in now is Greg Kleinsasser for the Flyers. Corner shooting short , Burnell
Glanzer and the whistle sounding underneath. Pushing penalty called on Jarvis
Heckenlaible. His first foul. It's 0:56 seconds left. I'll tell you, Freeman has put on a
great ball game here tonight. Freeman playing itself here tonight. Freeman High School
against Freeman Academy, two towns, two teams from the same town really hook up in
the ballgame. Dave Ortman gets a free throw for the Academy, misses, finds the
rebound, Kleinsasser heads the ball of court, holds up, looks for help, pass off to Wilde,
Aman twenty-four footer GOOD again. Aman hits a long bomb and its 64-59 and with
0:45 seconds. Up court now here's Carlos' pass off, shot is GOOD by Ortman. Carlos
Hofer passing off. Foul is on Dave, Dale Aman. And I have him for five. He becomes
the fifth Flyer to foul out. Dale Aman and what a night. Ten points in the last quarter,
nineteen in the last half, twenty nine for the night. Some night for Dale Aman. Nine of
eleven for Hofer and ten of seventeen for Aman. Nine of eleven freethrows for Aman.

Freeshot not good here. And the whistles halt play again, Greg Kleinsasser's foul. Its
66-59 That basket a moment ago by Hofer?, rather by Ortman was a big one, it was
Dave Ortman's first basket of the ballgame. Freeshot now is SWISHING for LaMarr
Waltner, makes one out of two. And its 67-59 Freeman Academy leading with a half a
minute [0:30]. Coming off the sidelines with a long jumper is Heckenlaible, not good.
Recovery the Academy, ball is deflected. There's Carlos Hofer going down the line and
Glanzer bumped into him. Freeman has fouled out five players on the night. Freeman
Academy fouling out two. So that is seven boys that leave on fouls. [KSOO Sioux Falls
Tournament Voice of South Dakota.] Nineteen seconds [0:19] now the Academy 67,
Freeman Flyers 59 Free shot not good by Carlos Hofer. 14 of 21 tonight for Hofer, 22 as
he makes the second one. 68-59. Up court Freeman Flyers Glanzer pass in to Wilde,
sliding in a one hand shot's not good, and he was fouled as he got that shot loose. Penalty
on Carlos Hofer, his fourth foul.

At the line is Wilde. Wilde will get one and one. On the one and one is Kim Wilde.
SWISH! Wilde scoring it's 68-60. Believe me, this one is ever bit what the score would
lead you to believe even if you just tuned in. Furious rally here by Freeman. Came
within five a moment ago. Wilde's second shot is GOOD! 68-61. Interception here by
Wilde from the incourt pass but he fell into in getting that ball and then was fallen over
on by Ortman. Dave Ortman drawing the foul. So Wilde's up with nine seconds.
Fourteen point deficit stared Freeman Flyers in the face with 2:36 left and they started
storming back. Wilde's freeshot GOOD!. And it's 68-62 Although it may be too late for
the Flyers. Wilde's second shot is SWISH! And it's 68-63. The Academy five point
lead, once was fourteen. Up court now. Pass off to Bruce Hofer. Corner shooting, not
good. Follow shot is GOOD at the horn by Dave Ortman. Ortman gets a great big hug
from one of the cheerleaders as he SWISHES to finish off Freeman Academy 60, 70-
63 over the Freeman Flyers.

Some finish here. Well, with 2:36 to play, two minutes and thirty six seconds left and
the Freeman Academy Bobcats were cruising along 60-46. Suddenly seven points in 39
seconds brought the Flyers back in the ball game. As they jumped back in the game 60-
53 and with 45 second left they had it down to 64-59. But a basket by Ortman with 32
seconds left sealed the verdict at 66-59. And the final is 70-63. Freeman winning its
tenth game in its last twelve starts, the Academy rather. And the Freeman High School
Flyers losing their sixth.

Well that's the story, Freeman Academy winning from Freeman Flyers by 70-63. We'll
check that scoreboard for you next. [Commercials]

GAME WRAPUP
--
The Freeman Academy Bobcats winning the ballgame. Carlos Hofer had a pretty good
night. He finished with eight points in the last quarter, fifteen in the last half. Twenty
two for the evening I have him for. Tim Graber fouled out with eight. Dennis Lehmann
fouled out with nine points. Graber had six rebounds too before departing. Kenny
Waltner hit eleven points. And Bruce Hofer finished up with thirteen, coming in in the
second half after the Academy got in foul trouble. Bruce had all thirteen of those points
in the second half. Nine of twelve freethrows that were jump shots. David Ortman
rounded out the scoring for the Academy with four points.

The Freeman High School Flyers had fouled out almost the whole first team with the
exception of Kim Wilde. They did foul out five people. Dale Aman lead them with
twenty nine points before departing. And Mehlhaf had six points before fouling out with
6:15 left. Allen Weier, their starting center fouled out midway through the third period
with five points and eight rebounds. Monte Kaufman fouled out. Had eight rebounds.
Kim Wilde, six-seven points, the only starter to finish. And Rick Preheim fouled out,
had nine points. Greg Kleinsasser had seven points in relief. So that's some of the story
of tonight's ballgame. [Commercial]
. . .

[Other Announcer- Larry]: I just did some fast checking here, in that first game I
thought we had a lot of free throws as Harrisburg hit on 27 of 36 and Parker 15 of 22.
But we managed to out do them in this game. Freeman hit on 25, this is the Flyers, 25 of
33 from the field for 75.7%. Freeman Academy 32 free throws and 45 attempts for 71.2
% from the freethrow line. Both teams shot very well from the freethrow line, but that
gives us a game total of 78 free throws attempted. Compared to 58 from the preceding
game. Another oddity here. Both teams shot an identical 19 of 50 from the field. So both
teams ended up the game shooting 38%. Another oddity, both teams in the whole first
half, had six field goals. Both teams in the third quarter had seven field goals. And both
teams in the fourth quarter had six field goals again. The Flyers hit on 6 of 21 in the first
half for cool 28.6%, came back in the second, or third quarter hit 7 of 13 for 53.8% and
as they were rallying there in the fourth quarter they hit on 6 of 16 for 37.5%. Hitting in
their game total for 19 of 50 for 38%.

The Freeman Academy Bobcats, on the other hand, hit 24% in the first half on 6 of 25.
Came back in the third quarter hitting on 7 of 15 for 46.7%. And in the fourth quarter
they hit on 6 of 10 from the field for 60% for their game total of 19 field goals in 50
attempts or 38%. The Bobcats out rebounded the Flyers 46 to 39, although they were
trailing at halftime 23 to18, but part of those had to be from the fact that the Flyers had
lost three or four of their front line men via the foul route in the later stages of the game.
The Academy picked up 19 rebounds in the fourth quarter, but they turned the ball over
eleven times in the fourth quarter for a game total of 19 turnovers, while the Freeman
Flyers had 21 turnovers. And Aman played a very fine shooting performance here
tonight as he hit on 10 of 17 from the field and 9 of 11 from the freethrow line for a team
leading and tournament leading so far 29 points. Kleinsasser in a reserve role hit on three
of five and Preheim hit on two of three with some very fine assists by his teammates.

The leading rebounders for the Freeman Flyers was Kaufman with eight, and Weier with
eight before fouling out. For the Freeman Academy, Carlos Hofer lead them in shooting
from the field as he hit 7 of 14 attempts and lead them in rebounds also, Danny, as he
picked off thirteen rebounds. Lehmann hit on 4 of 10 and Ortman in relief hit on 2 of 2
from the field. LaMarr Waltner, was second in rebounding for the Academy with ten
rebounds.

So again, both teams shooting 38% from the field on 19 for 50, but the Freeman
Academy Bobcats hitting on 32 of 45 from the charity strip for 71.2%. Freeman Flyers,
shooting a better percentage from the freethrow line 75.7%, but did not have as many
attempts as they hit on 25 of 33. And now back to Dan.

All right Larry, that's eight more freethrows then the Augie - UNI had I believe last
night. night. Another, if you're adding up oddities, you can see fifteen baskets in the
last half. And as you mentioned both had nineteen baskets for the ballgame. The lead
changed hands a dozen times before the Academy got it for keeps 28-26, midway through
the third period. But even at that, after cruising along by 14 with 2:36 to play, the
Academy then faced a Freeman flashback here which brought the Flyers 7 points in 39
seconds. And with 45 seconds to go, the Flyers had wiped 11, ah, had wiped 9 of a 13
point, ah ,14 point deficient off the board. They were down 60 to 46 by 14 and there was
only five left on the Academy side 64-59 with 45 seconds, but Ortman's basket at 32
seconds sealed the doom for the Flyers and the Academy won their tenth in the last
twelve, 70-63. [Other scores]
