Jets
fly high in CCC victory
By George Starks
PITSBURG - The Franklin Monroe Lady Jets improved their season Tuesday
with a 3-0 victory over Newton in a Cross County Conference showdown.
Winning 25-17 in the opener, things got a little intense in the second
game before the jets pulled out a 25-23 victory.
In the third game, Franklin Monroe trailed throughout the first half of
the game.
Down 16-13, the Jets were able to gain a 17-16 advantage, holding on
for the win.
"We got down early in that third game but we were able to regain the
momentum, push back, get the lead and keep it," said FM coach Jody
Bauman. "A lot of times when we've been down four or five points, we'd
have a let down. Tonight, we didn't do that. The pushed right back
through."
In the first game, the Jets took control and maintained it.
After that, the Indians forced the issue.
"The second and third games were back and forth a lot," said Bauman.
"We were down four or five points and we've been working on pushing
through that and staying in the game mentally. Things are starting to
fall into place for us. It does a lot for our confidence to be able to
make that kind of a comeback. We have to be mentally tough in all games
from now on."
Tonight, the Jets will square off against Scott Brewer and the
Mississinawa Valley Blackhawks at Mississinawa Valley.
