Wildcats Rap Hornets; Eagles Whip Ocala
(Newspaper clipping provided by Dave Rees. Thanks, Dave!)

   Winter Park took dead aim on a mythical Orange County prep cage title last night with a convincing 59-42 victory over Bishop Moore, its fourth straight and third over county competition.
   While the Wildcats were putting an end to Bishop Moore's four-game victory string, Edgewater chased off its worst "first half blues" of the year to whip Ocala, 69-57, and gain the finals of the Sunshine Conference tournament in Ocala.
   Elsewhere, Evans was the first cage duel with crosstown foe Colonial handily, , 62-29, Ocoee squeezed past Kissimmee in the final three seconds, 51-50, and Lakeview whipped Wildwood, 60-53, in an Orange Belt Conference encounter.

   Winter Park vaulted to a 9-0 margin in the first three minutes and though Bishop Moore closed that gap quickly to 9-7, the Hornets never caught up. By the time the first period was over, the Parkers were back in front comfortably, 19-8, and were never threatened much the rest of the way.
   Guard Danny Wiser once again topped Winter Park, with 14 points, though he hit only four in the first half. Three other Parkers, Carl Dunn with 12, Irv Broughton with 11, and Mike Mosher with 10, also hit in double figures.
   John Lane's jump shots netted 16 points to lead Bishop Moore, which meets Evans in the Davis Armory tonight in hopes of regaining the victory habit. Jack Sullivan added 13 for the Hornets.
