Kingsley tapped in a meaningless field goal. At 3:59, Barry White put Avon Grove ahead to stay with a 15-footer from the left side. Three times in the remaining minutes the Devils missed on one-and-one chances at the foul line, but single conversions' by Ferron, Jerry Duvall and Gary White were enough to clinch their 24th victory and keep them the only undefeated team in the state. Avon Grove battlod Mansfield to a 21-21 first-period tie despite a 17-point effort by McMillen.

But Duvall, who played McMillen head-to-head in the early going, picked up his third personal in the final minute and the Devils hopes appeared dim. Tom Lamborn came off the bench to replace Duvall but McMillen came back with 17 more in the second period, finishing the half, hitting 14 of 18 from the floor and grabbing 14 rebounds. But McMillen, who finished his career with 3608 points and 1288 this year, was held to but six in the second half, and the Tigers fate was sealed. DON PALLINI on.stwdi..

Miller put 6-foot-l Gary White on McMillen with White's 6-foot brother Barry moving in to help whenever the big fellow moved toward the basket. The strategy worked perfectly.
