Since taking over the head coaching job two seasons ago Coach Locke's charges have amassed 40 points against Medford while holding the Big Wind to 21. Unfortunately all 21 come last season in the final quarter of an otherwise all Ashland game when the Tornado came from behind to nip the Grizzlies 21-20 and went on to take the state A-l high school runner-up slot. Ashland Has History of Humiliating Medford The year before probably stands out as the biggest game for the Grizzlies, however. Behind the running and passing Intramural Ends "The turnout was good for the first attempt at an intramural basketball program. The interest was high through-out and the competition was at its best." commented Coach Richard Copple. 45 students and five faculty members participated in this program. The program was developed to condition those interested in basketball. Copple and Arlan Foote directed the activities. of a backfield consisting of four all conference selections homestanding Ashland humiliated the Black Tornado 20-0. Unfortunately, the Grizzlies faltered the second half of the season and Medford again went on to take the Conference, and eventually the State championship. If Ashland is to win, it will have to break through a defense that has limited opponents to an average of one touchdown per game while containing a balanced offense that has the running of fullback Mike Ritchie (6.2 yards per game), Shawn McLaughlin (S.l average) and Winn's EeIS Richmaid flj 1630 ppi Siskiyou Blvd. . jgtclL Orders: 482-2426 "Friendliest Place in Town" Rogue Barber Shop 399 East Main Street e Appointments Available Phone 482-8194 u astjlant) SHOPPING CENTER SPOBISWEAB quarterback Jeff Jones who, scrambling from the pocket, has compiled a 4.6 average per carry; and add the passing of Jones to Ted Pappas and Chuck Bartlett, among others. There is little doubt as to why Medford is currently rated number one in the state prep poles. But, as shown by the previous two years' scores, records so far this year by either team really have no bearing when these two teams meet. A strong rivalry is always present. Even the community acknowledges the Medford game "as the big one". As long as five weeks ago Ashland merchants produced the Tornado soup can filled with state air and loose marbles to shake at the Medford game. In addition, Ashland's record is not a true indication of the team's strength. In various games, specific aspects of the Grizzlies' game have been impressive, but they have yet to really put it all together. In several pre-conference games Keith Wentela passing to Mark Wilson, Dan Phillips, Mike Testerman and Bill Fagan has been particularly potent. But lately it has been lacklustre. Al Lord, Andy Lonch, and Larry Toney at running backs likwise have been sporadic, with Lord seeing limited action due to injuries.
