Coach Ken Wendling made Friday’s Bucket Game especially

memorable for himself as he collected his 100th coaching victory,

led the Cougars to their 20th Bucket Game victory and chalked

up a win over arch rival North Decatur.

As was expected, previous records coming into the game meant

little as the Chargers did not go quietly into the night. A major stop at

the end of the first half kept North Decatur from recording the tying

touchdown.

“That was a big play, both ways,” Wendling said. “If it went our way

we have momentum going into the half; if they score, they have it.”

Coach Jim Louder of North Decatur viewed that action and other key

plays in the game as being in position.
