By RICHARD HETTINGER
Last Tuesday found the Midway Vikings as visitors on the Bobcat’s home floor. Cooley drives the lane for 2, Hadley gets a steal and Cooley an assist to Bolton for 2. Hadley comes up with a three then Seba gets a base line drive for another score. J. Roberts blocks a shot and retrieves his own block and later comes up with a steal as well as a steal for Bolton. With good defense, Seba forces a walk against a Viking and Bolton comes up later with a turn around jumper for 2 “and 1”. J. Roberts gets another steal, Seba rebounds a shot and scores ending the first quarter with Drexel leading 14-11.
In the second period Cooley gets an assist to Bolton then later gets a steal. Wilson comes up with a steal and is fouled in the act of shooting thus converting 1 of 2 from the line. Cooley to Bolton for 2 and Russell fakes out the defender at the three point line, moves up a couple steps and converts for 2. Moles attempts turn around jumper is fouled and makes 1 of 2 free throws. Cooley with a steal, Bolton a jumper and Cooley with a lane driving jumper for 2 more and the first half ends but the hot three point shooting of the Vikings has given them a lead 26-29.
