Graceland led 38-32 at halftime, then pulled away with a 20-8 advantage in the third quarter. Graceland connected on 24 of 40 shots, including 7 of 13 from three-point range.

Then Springs Valley's Ryan Owen missed the front end of a one-and-one at 0:13. Pekin called a timeout with 10 seconds left. Springs Valley deflected Josh Burns' inbounds pass, but the ball went to the Musketeers' Jeremy Burnett, who drove for the winning layup with 1.3 seconds left. "I was really impressed with the way the kids kept their heads," Pekin coach Tom Cullen said. Corydon 78, Lanesville 65 Brian Lahue's 30 points lifted the Panthers (1-0) past the visiting Eagles (2-1), who trailed 41-20 at halftime.

Corydon connected on 23 of 38 free throws to Lanesville's 9 of 18. dric McGinnis' basket for the Eagles (2-2) in the opening minute of the second half.

Obinna Ekezie had 18 points and eight rebounds for the Terrapins, who never trailed en route to their 55th consecutive non-conference home victory since December 1989. Western Michigan 74, Indiana State 58 Saddi Washington scored 20 points and Aaron Toothman grabbed a career-high 15 rebounds to help Western Michigan beat visiting Indiana State.

Hanover held a 48-35 rebounding advantage. Christian Allen led IUS with 11 points.

From AP and Special Dispatches Pat Garrity scored 24 points and freshman point guard Martin Ingelsby had 11 assists last night as Notre Dame defeated Northeastern 72-45. Garrity's jumper tied the score at 21 and sparked an 18-5 run to close out the half. The Irish (2-1) opened the second half with a 14-0 run, and Northeastern (1-1) never got close again. Notre Dame had four players in double figures. Phil Hickey scored 12; Antoni Wyche and Leviticus Williamson, who was making his first start, each had 10.

Tyrone Mack's 13 points led Northeastern, which shot 18 of 64 (28 percent) from the floor. Garrity made 9 of 19 from the floor, including 1 of 4 from three-point range, as he moved past LaPhonso Ellis into No. 8 on Notre Dame's career scoring list with 1,516 points.

"We were missing some free throws." North Harrison 62, South Central 36 North Harrison outscored the host Rebels 34-11 in the second half and rolled in its opener.

"North Harrison's a very physical team," said coach Greg Robinson of South Central (2-2). "Their physical-ness took its toll on us. They got to the line a lot, and that was the difference." North Harrison hit 19 of 24 free throws in the second half and 28 of 37 overall. "They took the ball to us," Robinson said. "They played an excellent second half." Silver Creek jumped on Henryville early and held off a late rally to beat the host Hornets 70-65 last night in boys' high school basketball.

"We started out good and then just kind of hung on," Silver Creek coach Matt Thomas said. "We played so much smarter in the first half. I think maybe we ran out of gas in the second half. We're a young team." The Dragons (2-0) led 12-9 after one quarter and 33-25 at halftime after Richard Casteel hit two three-pointers in the second period. "The damage was done early," Henryville coach John Bradley said.

"They went ahead eight or nine points late in the second quarter. We played real well in the second half but couldn't get it back." "They're a big rival," Thomas said. "It was a nice win on the road and in a hostile place with this young team." Casteel, a 6-foot-l sophomore, led the Dragons with 22 points and 11 rebounds. Brandon Hoffman added 15 points, point guard Nick Mobley had 13 points and eight assists and Chris Popp tacked on 10 points. Joey Ryan led the Hornets (2-1) with 22 points.

"The Ryan kid gave us fits," Thomas said. "We didn't do a great job of defensing him." Graceland Christian 77, Borden 59 The Warriors (2-0) shot 60 percent and ran past the host Braves (1-2). Milutinovic out as coach of Mexican soccer team MEXICO CITY (AP) Bora Milutinovic was fired as coach of the Mexican soccer team yesterday, a move that had been rumored for weeks even though he led Mexico into the World Cup. Milutinovic, who coached Mexico to the quarterfinals of the 1986 tournament and led the United States to the second round in 1994, is the only man to coach three different countries in the World Cup. He coached Costa Rica to the second round in 1990.

He was rehired by Mexico in August 1995. Mexico was first in regional qualifying for next year's World Cup with a 4-0-6 record but disappointed its fans by finishing with ties against the United States, Canada and El Salvador.
