2— SANDY (O ra.) POST Thun Fob 1». '981 (Sac 3) -stuff sticts------------ SANDY HIGH SCHOOL Good tickets getting harder to discover I t ’s nice to have friends in the right places. Without them, it would be pretty difficu lt to see a good basketball game in this state. That’s the price one has to pay for having the nation’s top-rated college basketball team nearby as well as one of the most popular professional teams. The Oregon State Beavers gave an old- fashioned whipping to state riv a l Oregon last Thursday, the third defeat they’ve handed the Ducks this season. It was vintage OSU for most of the game as the Beavers sank 11 of their first 12 shots from the floor and ended the game w ith a m ark over .700. And that was w ith 6-foot-10 center Steve Johnson in foul trouble and All-Pac-10 guard Ray Blume on the bench in the second half w ith bronchitis. OSU showed its poise in “ The P it,” other wise known as M acArthur Court. The Pit was rocking, hoping for an upset. But OSU effec tively neutralized the crowd of 10,000 w ith a deadly display of shooting. Incidentally, the halftim e entertainment featured the women’s volleyball teams from the two schools, and starting for the Beavers is form er Sandy High star Christie E lliott, now a freshman at Oregon State. Somewhat hidden by the good fortune of OSU and their own up-and-down year have been the Portland T ra il Blazers. The Blazers were coming off their worst defeat in history Sunday night when the Utah Jazz came to town. Utah is not a great team, but the Jazz seems to have Portland’s number. Three times already this season, Utah has dumped the Blazers. And, after giving up 168 points to Denver on Friday, it looked like the Blazers were ripe for loss number four. Not quite. The Blazers put on quite a show for the crowd, announced as 12,666, but much closer to 10,000. Portland outscored Utah 25-10 in the second quarter and went on to post a 118-84 win. The game was a blowout and the crowd, silent for most of the night, sat back and en joyed it. In fact, the biggest ovation of the evening c^pne when the Coliseum announcer proclaimed the entrance of 6-11, 280-pound center Geoff Crompton into the game. Crompton, also known as “ The Incredible Bulk,’’ was signed by the Blazers to replace an injured Kevin Kunnert. But in a few short days he has gained a popularity rivaled only by that of teammate B illy Ray Bates. Crompton is just huge. It would require a lot of stamina just to run a lap around him. His style of play is what one might expect. Crompton sets up low in the post and waits for a teammate to shoot. On defense, he also sets up low. But once the ball is in the air, he sticks out his massive rear end and clears the key like a road grater. The result is not very pretty, but Crompton is surprisingly effective. He picked up six re bounds. second-high for Portland, despite playing just eight minutes. He even sank a jump-hook off one of those boards at the of fensive end. Bates was his usual explosive self. Although many w ill claim that he got his game-high 25 points during garbage time, Bates actually was the offensive catalyst for Portland. Immediately after entering the game in the first and third quarters, he hit for four quick points and ignited the quiet crowd. That picked the Blazers up and they were never threatened the rest of the night. The d e fe n s iv e key was K e r m it Washington, who shut down Adrian Dantley, the leading scorer in the NBA. Washington bumped, grabbed, pushed and thoroughly outmuscled Dantley, who was held to 18 points, more than a dozen below’ his average. A Civil War game and a 34-point Blazer romp Not a bad week for basketball addicts.

M olalla upends Sandy H ig h w restlers F r id a y n ig h t’ s m eet against Molalla was not the kind of outing a team would want to use as a springboard for district The Sandy High wrestling team, ranked fourth in the state, found the road pretty tough and suffered a 29-27 loss to the Indians in the Tim ber Valley League finale for both teams. Sandy w ill compete at district this weekend “ It was just a bad night altogether.’’ Sandy coach Ron Calhoun shrugged ’The kids didn't wrestle well and in a couple of matches, the referees let things get out of hand It just took a couple things and we lost it.” One of the major problems was the loss of Chns Jones. the Sandy junior who is one of the best in the state Jones was suffering from a sore knee and sat out the match. His presence might have made the difference The P io n e e rs dug themselves into a deep hole early in the match and couldn't quite scramble out of it Molalla jumped out to a 23-6 lead at one point before the Pioneers clawed back in to it. Sandy took the lead. 27-26. after picking up a fo rfeit win at 191. But Kevin Paquette, M o la lla 's to u g h heavyweight, outdueled Tim Svtsma by a 7-1 score in the final match. L a rry T o p liff got the Pioneers off to their usual hot start as he picked up his usual pm. This tim e it was Wayne Barth who bit the dust against Sandy's tough 98-pounder going down in 1:23 Those w e re th e Pioneers' last points for a while, though Molalla's Dave Haqq nip ped Mike Rohweder by a 6-5 s c o re a t 106 A rm o n d Mendez gained a four-point win over B ill Mathews at 115 with a 16-6 decision and Ross Aylott turned over Sandy's Robert Paul at 123 and pinn ed him at the 1:38 m ark. The Pioneers early lead had dimished in a hurry and Molalla was up 13-6. They upped that margin when Duke Hobdon topped Scott Quick 12-1 at 130 and Tony Brewer pinned Carey L a rso n a t 5:42 o f the 136-pound match That gave the Indians their biggest lead, but the strength of the Sandy lineup was coming up Senior Mike Russell pinned Jeff Davis at 1:51 of the 141-pound match and Dean Fischer scored a 4-2 win over Todd Fox at 148. But John L yttle of Molalla held on to take a tight, 4-3 win over Cal McKinnis at 157 to break into the Pioneers' strength. D an M a r tin got the Pioneers back on track at 168 w ith a tough. 7-2 win over Sean Kelly. Kelly, despite losing to M artin, w ill likely be the top-seeded grappler at -district because of a better record M a rtin ’s vic to ry , however, showed that he is ready for the district meet. Scott Skipper picked up a big win for the Pioneers at 178, blanking Nick Roth 5-0. Randy Carmony then won by forfeit at 191 to set up the heavyweight match. Sytsma has been wrestling at heavyweight all year for Sandy at a weight disadvan tage. The Pioneers started w ith A la n F ry at heavy weight but lost him to an in ju ry Sytsma took over to avoid the loss of six points each match despite being a 191-pounder He w ill wrestle at 191 at the d istrict meet Sandy finished the year in third place in the rugged Tim ber Valley League dual meet race.
