Meyer scored 16 points for the second consecutive game for Forest Park (5-6, 2-0), with Braunecker and Leonard both finishing with 15 for a Ranger squad that held South Spencer (4-8, 0-2) to only 20 points after halftime. Braunecker added three blocks and two steals, Leonard handed out seven assists and Noah Klem tallied four points and four assists.

Lynk Kordes ended with nine points and Joel Weyer logged four points to round out the scoring for the Rangers, who host North Posey (5-6, 2-1) Leonard tonight at Buechler Arena. Forest Park, which hit 7-of-9 free throws, led South Spencer 3023 at halftime before owning a 4731 margin after three quarters. The Rangers owned the boards, as well, grabbing nine more rebounds than the Rebels (26-17). Forest Park shot better than 50 percent from the field (26-for-48), while limiting South Spencer to below 33 percent (12-for-37). Along with Gibson Southern, Forest Park is one of two remaining unbeaten teams in the conference.

Messier jumpstarted a 19-4 Jasper run with a 3-pointer shortly after checking in with five minutes left in the first quarter. The Cats extended the lead to 28-16 when Begle nailed a 3 after three straight Nixon layups started the second quarter. But Jasper was held to just one bucket — another Begle triple — over the final 5:18 of the first half, and the Hatchets trailed 31-25 at intermission. The Hatchets inched closer in the third period as Jasper surrendered five of its 14 turnovers in that stanza. And Ervin’s defensive pressure on Begle didn’t help matters as Jasper’s leading scorer attempted just three shots in the second half of regulation. Still, Begle

finished with a game-high 19 points to go with three steals. “If you want to talk about their defense, you have to start with Dylan Ervin,” Goebel said. “He guarded Caleb Begle tonight and it’s a compliment to Caleb he got any points. Dylan Ervin did a heck of a job on him. Everywhere Caleb went tonight, he had No. 20 sticking to him. It was a very physical game and he just did an outstanding job defensively on him. “We felt that Washington’s defensive intensity and pressure was there all night, we just felt that we

Patriots 58, Chargers 45:

Heritage Hills snuffed out any chance of an upset with a dominating third quarter during the Patriots’ road victory over Damon Wahl Pike Central. With a 20-18 lead at halftime, Heritage Hills (5-5, 2-1 Pocket Athletic Conference) elongated the advantage by doubling up Pike Central 20-10 in the third period. Damon Wahl led the Pats in scoring for the third time this season, registering 13 points. Jack Woolems chipped in 10 points, Adam Price offered nine and Devon Wahl, Devon Merder and Logan Schaefer all finished with eight for Heritage Hills, which hosts Tecumseh (6-5, 1-2) tonight. J.J. Howald scored 10 points to lead Pike Central (1-9, 0-3).

handled it real well in spurts. We’d go for four or five minutes without a good look at the bucket and we have to execute better than that.” Giesler added 10 points and four rebounds for Jasper, while Messier finished with a seasonhigh nine. Ervin led the Hatchets with 16 points, while Michael Daudy and Garland notched 10 each. Arnold racked up six points and six rebounds. “Never give up, even when you’re down with the final seconds left,” Nixon said when asked what importance the game held for his team, which travels to Forest Park (5-6) next Friday. “You can still find a chance to win, and that’s what we did tonight.”

Tips needed to curb poachers

First of all, let’s be clear: Whoever killed the whooping crane in Jackson County is not a hunter. He, she or they are poachers. Maybe they hunt legally during other times of the year, but the moment they crossed the line and pulled the trigger on a protected animal, they went from being hunters to poachers. So if you hear anyone say the endangered crane was killed by a hunter, please correct that person. Indiana’s Turn In a Poacher program, which is a joint collaboration between the Department of Natural Resources and the general public used to report and ultimately limit game law violations, has established a special reward fund for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for killing the whooping crane, “Bird 605,” found dead Dec. 30 near Crothersville. Whooping cranes are protected by the Endangered Species Act, the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act and state laws. In the 1940s, only a few dozen were left. Today, we have an estimated population of about 500 in the wild. Obviously, with so few whooping

DRIFTWOOD OUTDOORS

By Brandon Butler cranes alive, each one is a valuable piece of the repopulation puzzle. TIP launched the Whooping Crane Fund with a $2,500 commitment, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service immediately matched it. The Humane Society of the United States and its Humane Society Wildlife Trust Fund also added $2,500. Turning in a poacher is something you should be proud to do for free, but, hey, we all have bills, and $7,500 sure would help. “Whether the shooting was accidental or not, responsible sportsmen and women of Indiana will not tolerate the thoughtless killing of a protected species,” said Doug Featherston, a TIP board member and representative of Indiana Quail Unlimited. “The TIP Citizens Advisory Board has unanimously decided to offer a reward 10 times the normal amount to motivate citizens to come forward with any information that will lead to the quick arrest and expeditious prosecution of the perpetrator.” Whooping cranes are the largest bird in North America, standing more than 5 feet tall. They are a beautiful sight to behold, and their possible extinction is unthinkable. “The loss of whooping crane

No. 605 is another blow to the reintroduction program in that this individual bird was an adult with more than five years of life experience flying the same migration path,” said U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service wetland bird biologist Bob Russell. “We have lost, in essence, a teacher and mentor for young fledglings. Wildlife crimes such as this undo years of time, energy and private fundraising efforts on the part of many partners. Our law enforcement agents will work in conjunction with our state counterparts to fully investigate this case.” Two years ago, a whooping crane was shot and killed in Vermillion County. A reward fund was established, and a citizen’s tip led to the arrest and conviction of two individuals who were responsible. The reward fund for Bird 605 has been established with Indiana Members Credit Union. Contributions can be made by sending a check payable to Indiana Whooping Crane Fund to Lt. William Browne, DNR Law Enforcement, 402 W. Washington St., Room W255-D, Indianapolis IN 46204. See you down the trail . . .
