Published 12:00 am Saturday, February 5, 2000

It was a festive night at Adams County Christian School Friday. The seniors were honored and the gym was named after longtime coach Robert &uot;Bob&uot; Ulmer.

ACCS senior Laurie Davis certainly didn’t want any bad memories on this night, so she went out and scored 25 points in leading the Lady Rebels to a 63-49 win over Parklane.

&uot;I wanted to leave something here,&uot; said Davis, who seemed to be all over the floor for the Lady Rebels. &uot;We’ve been working hard together. We wanted a good effort.&uot;

Parklane stayed within range trailing the Lady Rebels 34-29 at halftime. But AC controlled the boards in the second half and outscored the Lady Pioneers 29-20.

&uot;I thought our rebounding was a key,&uot; said ACCS&160;head coach Bruce Pickle. &uot;We got some good help off the bench.&uot;

The contest was tied a 15-15 after one period of play and was tied 24-24 with 3:15 remaining in the second period.

Bethany Gamberi netted a 3-point shot to put AC up 27-24.

Leading 27-26, Davis came down court and nailed two straight 3-pointers enabling the Lady Rebels to take a 34-29 halftime advantage.

&uot;I’ve been working on them extra in the gym,&uot; Davis said. &uot;I wasn’t putting enough arch on them.&uot;

AC went on a 9-2 spurt in the third quarter as Katie Anders hit a 3-pointer and hit two free throws, Amanda Walker scored a basket and Davis put in a short jumper.

AC led 48-38 after three quarters.

&uot;We needed this type of game to get our minds right,&uot; Pickle said. &uot;If we continue playing together we’ll be O.K. I’m proud with all the festivities the girls were focused on the game.&uot;
