Marshtfoelcfl 'Wins District 5 IHIoop Crowim Spirited Last Half Rally Fails To Stop Potent Pirate Five By GEORGE CASTILLO News-Review Sports Writer The Roscburg Indians went down to defeat Saturday night at Marshfield, 52-48, but fans won't soon forget the never-say-die tribe that countered the od'ds with sheer guts and almost won. After trailing by 12 points at the half, 28-16, the Indians staged a herculean drive in the second half to whittle the bulge to three points, 44-41, with less than five minutes to go. Even with the Pirates still hitting with consistency, Roscburg fought back bravely in the last two minutes and was just four points short when time ran out. Although the district 5 title slipped from their hands with the loss, the Indians can be proud of a long uphill battle that almost paid off. And this in the face of a rival crowd, on a foreign floor and against a team that was shooting; a thumping .429. Kven with these handicaps, the Pirates cinched the victory at the free throw line. Both teams had 20 field goals. The heartbreaking finish follow ed a dismal first half in which the Indians lightened up and couldn't i buy a basket. The hosting i'irates ; sank the first field goal in a mailer . of seconds, Mickey Coen countered ; 10 lie 11 up iwo-au ana me iiiaran- field five went ahead again 6-2 never to be overtaken. Another bas ket by Frank Olson and one by Roy Van Horn made the score, 8 6, but then the high pitched Indians began passing raggedly and fren tiedly shooting from far out. The loose Pirates, paced by Tom Crab tree and Spike Ilillstrom, took ad vantage and were ahead at the first buzzer, 14.7. The second quarter proved even more disheartening for the Indian offense. The fast break wasn't working, passing was bad and the Pirates were just beginning to get up steam. By in If lime it looked like a runaway. Roieburg Warms Up But the second half was a differ ent story. Although the Pirates wer ent story. AAllhough the I'irates were still hitting at a phenomenal clip, the Indians were getting more shots. The fast break began to click and Van Horn and Kee Briggs began to connect. Van Horn set off the last half surge by calmly sinking two of his favorite two hand set shots from the corner. This drew out the Pi rate defense to allow Briggs to go inside. At, the third quarter the In dians had narrowed the sap down to seven points, 40-33. Van Horn opened the last period with an other of his set shols and Briggs raced in for two more. This brought the packed crowd to its feet as the difference nar rowed to 44-41, but the Pirates met the threat as Humphreys and Crab tree connected to pull their team out of trouble. The game ended with Marshfield stalling. Rst.burg Shoots .30 An unofficial statistical shooting record compiled hy rtnsehurg's Don Noon for the News Review reveals JUST RIGHT!
