for the championship. The tournament draw brought mixed reactions from the coaches. Both Seymour and Medora have had players out with sickness and injuries, and coaches Gary.Merrell of the Owls and Tom McConnell of the. Hornets are hoping to have their teams back-it-full-strengtli for the tournament. The Owls, who have not played Medora this season, are 10-9 and will play host to Floyd Central Friday night.
-Merrell said, "We don't feel badly about the draw. I really prefer to play three games if we're going to win the thing. If we don't play well and Medora beats us we don't deserve to go anyplace anyhow." Seymour seniors John Hohn- shot lifts been playing very well lately, and we're going to be the underdog no matter who it is." The (4-15) Hornets have lost nine straight, and travel to. West Washington Friday in their regu-. lar season finale.
Medora lost an 81-53 battle to the Senators four weeks ago. McConnell says he will announce Tiis retirement at the end of the seasonrand is looking! forward to taking on the Owls. "I had a feeling we'd get he said. I really don't know that much about them, but I know they're tough. I'm glad to get Seymour, though.
I've wanted to play them ever since I came here." Crothersville coach Allen Grant, whose 6-13 Tigers entertain South Decatur this Friday, -expressed similar sentiments about his squad's date with the Stars. "There's nothing like playing the best," he said. "I'm excited about it. When I came back here (from Oklahoma) this was the kind of thing I looked forward to. We have no-t thing to lose, there's too pressure onus and that's what we'll try to around.
"It's always nice to get the bye," he said. "It would be -easy to overlook us, but we're not going to throw in the towel just yet. "I think the revenge factor might play apart for us," he said. "We have a good rivalry going with Brownstown, and there'll be some added motivation for us. We might make some minor changes, but basically we just have to execute better than we did in the first game.
We had a lot of trouble getting the hall inside against them (Brownstown) and we need to work harder at that."

Edwards' BLOOMINGTON (AP) Indi-1 ana's Jay Edwards called it "the biggest shot I ever made." The, Michigan Wolverines wondered if he made it in time.
Edwards' 3-pointer at the buzzer allowed the ninth-ranked Hoosiers to beat No. 13 Michigan -76-75 in a Big Ten game Sunday and extend their home winning streak to 15 games. The victory, Indiana's 15th straight at home, improved the to 21-5 overall and 11-1 in the conference with six games remaining. Illinois is second at 8-4. Michigan, 19-6, fell into a tie with Iowa for third at 7-5.
Rumeal Robinson, who led the Wolverines with 24 points despite playing with torn ligaments in his right thumb, summed up his feelings after the game. sr It was a bad call. I think that's what is hurting the guys," he said in a somber Michigan dressing i room. "We had the game in our hands. A referee call in a crucial game like this is what will give them the Big Ten championship." Replays of the final seconds showed Edwards got the shot off before the buzzer sounded, although the clock showed no time remaining as the ball left his hand.
"I think I heard a horn while it was in the air," Edwards didn't hear it before I shot it." "I didn't want to throw it away because I knew-it-was a crucial time," said Anderson. Jones hesitated before seeing his former high school teammate Edwards in 3-point range." "Thank God he found Jay," Anderson said. Edwards-finished with 23 points, including 13 in the ssir.c's final 8 48 after getting just four in the first half. He also made three of four free throws in the final 1 22 to keep the Hoosiers close af- ter Michigan took a 75-71 lead on a 3-pointer by Sean Higgins. Rice entered the game as the Big Ten's leading scorer with 26.4 points per game, but sat out the final 31 of the first half after picking up his third foul.
He started the second half, but went back to the bench with his fourth foul 62 seconds later. Frieder kept Rice, who finished with only seven points, on the bench until only 8:48 remained. Rice would not talk to reporters after the game. "Glen has been sick and he just didn't play well," Frieder said. "We have to get him healthy." Rice hasn't missed a game de- Kevin Whistler won the diving competition and Kyle Wieneke won the 100 freestyle to lead the Seymour swimmers to a second-place finish in the Columbus North Sectional on Saturday.
By winning, both juniors qualified for the state meet to be held this weekend at the Indiana University Natatorium on the Indiana University, Purdue Universi- ty at Indianapolis campus Also qualifying for state were Mitch Salyers in the 200 individual medley and 100 back, Wieneke in the 50 free, Trent Turner in diving, and the free relay. Wieneke, Salyers, Spencer Sun-bury and Todd Bollinger make up the free relay. Favored Columbus North won the title by scoring 353 points and the Owls piled up 278 points in the 11-team field.

"We'rehappy ab- Out(the draw) because itould give us a chance to play Hohn- streiter and Cprren, ana nopeiui-ly we can win without being at 100 percent, although you can't look past anything. "No matter how the draw com-; es out, Bedford is still the heavy favorite.
They play in a lot. of pressure games and the crowd won't affect them." McConnell worries more about keeping his team together than who they'll face in the tourna- Ho osiers AP Laserphoto realizing what happened." While Caeh Rob Knight wasn't sympathetic, he knew what Michigan coach Bill Frieder must have been thinking. "Had I been Michigan, I probably wouldn't have thought it was good," he said. The way in which Michigan lost put Frieder in a Catch-22 situation. "I'll get ripped if I say it was good because people will say I'm not standing up for my team, and I'll get ripped if I say it wasn't good because they'll say I was making excuses," he said.
Glen Rice might have been looking for an excuse when he capped a poor game by missing. Michigan's final shot. The Wolverines led 75-73 when Rice misfired with nine seconds left. Indiana's Eric Anderson grab bed the rebound and passed the -ball theard LyndorrJonestwh brought it upcourt before passing to Edwards with one second left. "We have worked on the amount of time you rebound it and take it from bucket to bucket and get a shot at the other end," Knight said.

The Brownstown-Jennings Co. -game will be the second meeting of the season for those two teams. The Braves (12-7) took a 72-58 homecourt win back on Jan. 10th, but both coaches agree that that will have little bearing on the sec-" tional matchup. "We played weH that night, and Jennings Co.
didn't," said Braves coach Otha Smith. "They lidn't have the perimeter play that they do now, and we were able to concentrate on their big people."
