conference. The Grizzly wrestlers have had competition in eleven

the Grizzlies.
Ashland JV Coach Dick
Krominga said of the games,
"Friday, both teams shot very
well, as evidenced by the close
score. We had good defense and
put the pressure on in the
second half. On Saturday, we
shot horribly while Klamath was
hot. They just overpowered us."
The Sophomores beat
Roseburg on Friaday, 66-60 in
overtime, but lost to the Pelicans
93-42 on Saturday.

close until the last few minutes
of play, when Roseburg opened
the gap to eight points. During
the first half, the score was tied
five tiems.
In the second quarter, with
3:02 left, forward Mark Wilson
made a lay-up and put the
Grizzlies ahead 27-22, their
biggest lead of the ball game.

Ashland tied the game at 43
to 43 in the first minutes of the

maintain the pace and fell

Unsung Heroes
Not Recognized
by Ted Neuenschwander
Not much credit and praise
are given to those athletes who
aren't outstanding or have a
reputation as one of the best.
Not everyone can be a hero or
be perfect, or there wouldn't be
any room for improvement.
No one seems to care much
about those athletes who
practice every night just as hard
as the stars do. As long as they
aren't the best and the threat of
the team, they don't get much
praise at all.
Without these kids, no team
would be complete. For without
them, who would the rest of the
kids practice or scrimmage with.
It's from these kids that the
teams get their spirit and
improve to be a better and
stronger team.
How would you feel if you
were out for a sport and all the
credit and coverage of
competition was given only to
those who participated? Not all
the players can be out on the
floor or field at one time. More
recognition should be given to
those athletes who may not be
as good as the best, but who are
out for that sport doing their
best.
Campbell and Norm Hardy of
the Indians.
The Grizzlies closed the gap
to 48-47 on a long jump-shot by
guard Bill Smith with 1:50
remaining in the contest.
Roseburg then employed a ball
control offense, and Jim
Davidson of Roseburg was
fouled three times by Ashland
players. Fach time he went to
the line he hit two shots,
enabling his team to hold their
lead and defeat the Grizzlies.
Gymnasts Suffer Narrow Defeat
Ashland High's girls' gymnastics team lost to Lakeview by a slim
margin of 54.39 to 54.09 in a meet held last Tuesday in the Ashland
High gym.
In an earlier meet the girls came out victorious over Mcdford with
a score of 55.06 to 41.42.
The team, which is comprised of 10 girls, is coached by Miss
Kimball, the girls' physical education teacher.
According to Miss Kimball, Lakeview is the toughest team in the
district which the girls will meet all year. She remarked that all of
her gymnasts were good, but she cited Pain Hoffbur, Lois Hill,
Sharon Hill, and Fllen Reynolds as being particularly outstanding
performers.
Miss Kimball went on to say that although gymnastics is a
relatively new sport in America it has certainly caught on. She noted
the great deal of dedication which her girls possess because
gymnastics required about two to three hours practice each night.
A gymnastics meet consists of four events which are floor
exercises, uneven parallel bars, balance beam, and vaulting. The
teams enter girls in all events, while some girls compete in all four of
the events.
The girls have five more meets to compete in before district and
state competition. Miss Kimball expressed concern over the Crater
and Klamath Falls gymnastics team which she described as very
good.
