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

Longhorns, popularized in fact
and fiction of the old West, were
cattle of Spanish extraction not
noted for their beef Starting
about 1600, cattle were brought
over as work and milk animals
in connection with the chain of
Christian missions which the
Spaniards had established By
1833. the missions owned about
424.000 head of these cattle
many of which were semi-wild
They had little commercial
value except for their hides
Today, only a few Longhorns
remain, and they’re used for
show and novelty purposes, not
for beef on the table
several novice meets this year so far.
