Thur»., Dec 21, 1972 (Sec 1) S A N D Y (Ore.» POST - 7 Sandy has 4-1 record Defense minded Pioneers travel to Molalla Friday The Sandy Pioneer» showed this week that they are a real threat to reapeat aa champions of the Valley Diviaion of the Coast-Valley league Saturday afternoon against Newberg one of the top rated teams in the state, the Pioneers dropped a 42-40 decision after leading moat of the way and on Tuesday night the hustling Pioneers crushed St Helens 80 50 Friday night at 8 p m the Sandy team will travel to Molalla for their final game before the Christmas break The Indians are considered with .Sandy and Estacada to be the top teams in the Valley Division "Our division is so well balanced all the teams have a chance for the title," said Sandy coach Jim Kitchen "The game with Molalla is a big one for us We must win in order to stay at least even with the leaders ." The Pioneers following the recent split have a season record of 4-1 and have a 1-1 league mark "The biggest weakness this team has," said Kitchen, "is being consistent, especially under pressure " Against N ew berg. the Pioneers jumped to an early lead and held it all the way into the final stanza. Then the Pioneers fell apart under the full court pressure by Newberg "1 was not too disappointed with the team's overall effort,” said Kitchen, "the game did prove to ourselves and everyone else that we are a pretty good ball club ** Kitchen termed the effort by the Pioneers on defense as "great" against Newberg and termed it "super" against St Helens. In both games, the Pioneers caused their opponents to make numerous turnovers and forced them to break their game plans "St Helens in their win over C entral M onday night had made almost 70 per cent of their baskets from inside." said Kitchen “ We forced them to take the outside shot and shut them off the boards with our tough defensive play ” Junior center Alan Nippert turned in an impresaive per fo rm ance at N ew berg He accounted for 13 points and had 13 rebounds His effort helped Sandy get a team total of 31 rebounds against the taller Newberg team which collected 33 rebounds The Pioneers did find out that Newberg's Tony Wilder is an outstanding ballplayer He hit for 21 of his team's 42 points Kitchen expressed pleasure with the overall performance of senior forward Joe DeMarsh and the play of senior guard Jay Gynther who came off the bench to direct the Sandy of fense when starting guard Dan Turin got into foul trouble Those scoring for Sandy were Nippert 13, Ralph Peterson 6, Turin 5, Gynther 3, Gary Blount 8, and DeMarsh 6 In the St Helens win, Kitchen felt the Pioneers finally got their offensive patterns going "This was the first game that we were able to keep the ball moving both to the big men inside and to the guards outside for scoring," said Kitchen “ Also, in all our games we have shown scoring punch from several players giving us good balance " But most of Kitchen's praise was for the defensive effort by his warriors. The Pioneers doubled the effort by St Helens on the board and caused the visitors into numerous turnovers Turin turned in the top of fensive show for the Pioneers hitting on 8 of IS floor shots and ending the game with 19 points and a team high of seven steals Meanwhile, Gynther came off the bench and again con tributed an outstanding per formance He ended the game with 12 points and several steals The other Pioneer to hit in double figures was Nipped with 12 points and he got 15 rebounds DeMarsh helped Nipped on the boards with 12, although his shoot ins eye was off and he only collected 2 points. Starters Blount and Peterson each gave a steady p e r formance at both ends of the floor and each had a team high 8 assists in the game Peterson got 6 points and Blount got 5 points. Kitchen also got a good perfo rm ance from Randy Byrant off the bench. Bryant replaced Nipped in the third period and hit two quick buckets and collected several rebounds just when it looked like St. Helens was making a move to overtake the Pioneers The only disappointing result of the St Helens game was the crowd count. Only enough persons to fill about half of the gym showed up to watch the Martin Richards Second row: Richards, Casey Carmony and M E M B E R S OF the varsity team who took first place in their weight divisions at Madras were from left to right front row: Pat Dyal, Dave Brooks.
