He said the team is in football shape, since the football season did not end until one week into basket- ball season. "Our legs were tired in the fourth," Diggle said. "We were running out of gas. The boys were getting tired and their legs were cramping." Dierkop led the Owls with 16 points and five steals, while O'Neil grabbed 11 rebounds.

So far, Diggle said the team is playing fine. "We're playing the tempo we thought we'd play, we're just running out of gas," he said. "It's a good group of boys."
