Q RTTALK • SPORT TALK • by Hoy I -tr Jernigan Sp orh E d ito r The P IL got back in to the swing after the Christmas break and Tues day marked the resumption of league play. Last year the Benson Techmen came o f f o f th eir Xm as vacation and were blown away by the Demo crats and knocked out o f the Class A A A state to u rn a m en t. Tech f o r w ard A a ro n Bell played w ith that memory and insured his mates against a repeat o f that pivotal game. Benson was on the big end o f a 80-68 romp. Jefferson came out w ith a tight zone defense designed to force pe rimeter shooting from the Techmen and for a time it worked. W ith Bell and C o u rtn ey Cellestine popping those outside jumpers the Techmen took the first q uarter 18-13. Head Coach Bobby H arris had his squad ready and at the 7:08 m ark o f the second quarter forw ard Tony Broa dus hit tw o free throws to get Jef ferson even at 18-18. Benson got se rious from here and took o ff. Coach Dick G ray put his starters back into the game and the Techmen went on a 15-6 scoring spree and look the lead at halftime 36-26. When Benson hit the floor in the third quarter their guards were geared to getting the ball inside to Bell and Cellestine and Jefferson was on the ropes fro m that point on. A fast break layup by Chris Johnson and a baseline jumper by Bell swelled Ben son’s lead to 40-26. The Democrats were taken out o f their offensive game plan and were down 53-36 going into the last q uarter. I f you are fa miliar with Coach Harris, you know that his team never quits and they didn't. The Democrats fought gamely but there was just too much Aaron Bell and Courtney Cellestine. Bell led the scoring for Benson with 21 points and he hauled down a bushel o f re bounds. Cellestine played a flawless game and scored 15 points. J e ffe r son’ s top scorer was Jerrell Spires with 13. I am a Bobby Harris fan and when these two teams meet again, on Feb ru ary 8th at Benson, d o n ’ t be sur prised if the Democrats can come up with a form ula to counter Benson's high powered offense.

Shannon Farrell had 12 for Benson and Rachel W ickcnheiser had 12 fo r Je ff. Jill W eisner, C levelan d 's scoring m a chine, burned Roosevelt for 28 points.

Madi son was led by Kevin Goldsby with 15 and John Powers' 14 Andre George got away again and posted 43 points as Roosevelt eased by Marshall. A n dre seems to have gotten his basket ball legs now so watch out for some big figures by this young man. The P IL race is siarting to shape up now and G ra n t, W ilso n , Rooseveli and Benson w o n ’ t be taking prisoners from this point on.
