The Ashland Grizzly basketball
players fired shots that were
heard around the world on Satur
day, February 2 in Ashland. The
Grizzlies were victorious over the
Big Wind by a score of 64-62 in
a very close, exciting game. This
never to be forgotten game ended
a long 57-game losing streak for
Ashland. This event caused cele
bration as the whole town was
informed of Ashland's victory by
horn honking and victory yells
and screams. Immediately follow
ing the game Ashland rooters
poured onto the floor to con
gratulate the boys and begin the
celebration.
In this foul-filled encounter the
Grizzlies were charged with 34
fouls while Medford committed
23; however, this did not slow
down the determined Grizzlies
who had a .420 average in shoot
ing field goals. Ashland lost five
players on fouls and Medford,
two; but the Bears continued to
outplay Medford due to the depth
in the Grizzly lineup. The loss
of Hill and Forde was a big
blow to the Medford attack.
The Tornado fought gamely
down to the final buzzer and
almost tied it up at the end but
they could not beat the clock.
Medford led at the termination
of the first quarter 18-10. Ashland
led 30-28 at the half and 47-43
after three quarters.
The Tepper brothers led Ash
land in scoring. Dale had 16
points; Gale, 12. Rick Pierce
picked up 11, Jeff Trost had 10,
and Jim Lamb scored 9. Miles
led Medford with 15 points;
Vowell had 13; and Forde, 12.
Bears Rap K. Falls
The Ashland Grizzlies took
their second victory of the season
in league play by defeating the
Klamath Falls Pelicans 50-41 last
Saturday night, here.
Ashland outplayed the Pelicans
all the way and were all the time
except for the opening moments
of the game. The Bears led at
the half by 23 to 15.
Klamath Falls was knocked out
of a first place tie with Crater
by Ashland's victory. The win also
moved the Grizzlies closer to the
rest of the pack in the Southern
Oregon Conference.
Jim Lamb was the top scorer
for the Ashland team with 16
points. Rick Pierce had 13. Wayne
Chamberland led Klamath Falls
in scoring with 13 points.
J.VVS VIN
The Ashland Junior Varsity
won its first game of the season
in league play against the Peli
cans. The score was 35-32. Bill
Jury collected 11 points and
Dave Barger had 8. Lummus was
high-point man for the Pelicans
with 13.

ADVERTISERS

By Bruce Bamforth
Ashland is finally putting itself
on the map in athletics. Ashland's
basketball team with viotories
over Medford and Klamath Falls
appear to be on their way to their
bigge9t season in years and re
cognition from everywhere in the
state. I think Ashland has one
of the best teams in the state and
I am happy that they are proving
it, now.
The Ashland wrestling team
has been doing well and has been
improving steadily but lacks the
depth which good team must
have. In most of the weight
classes Ashland has only one boy
to compete and in some weight
classes the Bears do not have
anyone to respresent them.
Other schools in the league have
four or five teams while Ashland
has only one.
Ashland could have a victorious
wrestling team with more sup
port. More wrestlers are needed
and so is support from the student
body.
It is still possible for Ashland
to get the state championship.
