Hartley appears to be better balanced in all departments and its height is expected to pay off. i Guess Again. But if you expect Corrick to swipe all the thunder from the remainder of prospective all-staters, guess again. Ardella Knoop, Clutier's scoring sensation who has pounded home 827 points this season, figures also to share the limelight.
