Several Ashland gym nasts agreed that "we did not have a very good day overall, whereas Medford probably had the best day of the whole season." Eventhough the Lady Bears may have had a poor day, they managed to score a team high 21.50 points on the floor exercise competition as both Kerry Harder (7.0) and Sharon Hill (6.9) received their highest scores so far this year. All-Around Competition At district, Ashland will be sporting three all-around per formers, which, according to Coach Betty Kimball, "scares the other teams to death. Most of the teams have trouble enough find ing one all-around gymnast let alone two or three." Harder, Hill and Pam Hoffbuhr are the all around gymnasts Miss Kimball was speaking of. They will be joined by Lisa Koch on vaulting, Kathleen McClure on bars, Terry McClure on beam and Cindy Wienecke on the floor. The Ashland Grizzlies basket ball players have discovered something: It's great to win. Out to better their 4-12 record, the Grizzlies have discovered the use of the backboard on both offense and defense. They hope to employ this strategy against Frank Roelandt's Black Torna does as Ashland plays host to Medford tonight. "We've got to have more scoring," said Grizzly coach Dick Copple, "more productive scor ing." Last weekend's contests against Crater and Klamath Falls saw Ashland do just that: more scoring. For the first time in 40 opposing games, or since 1963, Ashland beat Klamath Falls last Saturday night. Fast passes from forwards Mark Wilson and Jay Coldwell to pivot-man Vince Oredson had initiated easy lay-in plays. Defensively, Copple is more worried about Medford. "We're going to implement a full-court press to slow them down." "Roelandt's got a good team," added Copple, "but I feel we can beat them. It'll be a tough game we'll have to contain Paul Weiss." The Bruins will travel to Rose burg tomorrow night to meet the Tornado-whipped Indians. Coach Copple is looking for his juniors Don Sorensen and Jeff Jones to carry the Grizzly load. "Sorensen's got a good quality," said Copple, "he's over-aggressive. Jeff Jones is coming on strong too; he's really helping us along." Copple is proud of the way his squad battled Roseburg last time. "Craig Siebenlist," said Copple, "did a fine job of piloting the guys on the court." "The success of tomorrow's game," added Copple, "will de pend if we can keep center Vince Oredson rebounding. If we can. He'll give Stew Robertson's boy. Rich Parson, a run for his money." J.'.
