California has a reputation for its
girls. weather and athletes, and not
necessarily in that order.
Last Saturday we had occasion to
visit Northern California and the city
o f Sacramento to see a play-off for
the league championship. Rancho
Cordova and Burbank High were the
participants and what we saw
amazed me.
N o* I’m no dummy and I know
that California produces over half
the players in the entire Pac-10. And
that is a conservative estimation.
We started for the stadium an
hour before game time and some
were concerned that we just might
not be able to buy tickets.
N o * I'm listening to this and
th inking that perhaps we’ re not
going to the prep play-offs, but are
going to LA instead to see the Ram-
Pirate encounters. After being told
that the game was being played in a
stadium w ith 11,000 seating
capacity, 1 relaxed. But that was
to be the last relaxation 1 would have
for the next couple hours.
When we arrived a; the Rancho
Cordova Stadium huge lines were
forming and parking was impossible.
We did get standing room. After
the introduction o f players 1 was
really confused because I knew we
weren’t far enough south to be in LA
seeing a pro game. These guys were
huge. The defensive line fo r C or
dova, in cid e n ta lly they run the
Wishbone and have only lost one
game in five years, averaged 220
pounds and was anchored by Mike
Taylor, 6*3” , 265 pounds and 4.8
speed.
Burbanks defensive front averaged
225 and included a 300 pound nose
guard who also ran like the wind.
Rancho Cordova, the school that
produced Oregon’ s Reggie Young,
completely dominated the previously
unbeaten Burbank squad 32-7.
The college scouts, and there were
many, must have had a field day
marvelling at the array o f talent on
display there. 1 only hope that Rich
Brooks and Craig Fertig had reps in
the stand. Now, California football
nuts actually believe that OSU and
Oregon are out o f their league, so it
was really nice to be down there
when OSU dumped the m ighty
Bruins on their collective fannies.
N o * this: Grant o f the P .I.L. after
beating Marshfield in the 1978 state
play-offs w ill win again this time
against Roseburg. The Generals are
the finest team to represent the
P .I.L. since Me! Renfro and Terry
Baker starred for Jefferson in 1959-
1960.
Grant has overall balance on of
fense and defense led by two-way
man David Lewis who plays tight
end on offense and defensive end
when the opposition has the ball.
Grant 21, Roseburg 7.
Blazer Hi-Lite
Portland 123 Jazz 103
The big difference in this game
was the defensive yob all pro Lionel
Hollins did on “ the pistol.” Hollins
stayed as close to Pete as white on
rice, often causing the frustrated
Maravich to either hurry shots or
com m it turnovers. Maravich was
limited to just thirteen shots and hit
ting only four.
Rookie Thompson had another
good night. Thompson scored 22
points against the guard o f fellow
rookie James Hardy from USF.
Remember, too, most jocks have
super egos and when Portland rookie
M ychal Thom pson tells you he
believes ‘ Luke’ is a better player . . .
d o n 't believe it. K im Anderson,
Blazer rookie, believes that i f given a
chance he could beat out both Larry
Steele and Bob Gross for the small
fo rw a rd spot. A nd i f you asked
W illie Smith, n o * departed, if he
were better than H o llin s, then I
wouldn’t be at all shocked to receive
an affirmative.
Just must believe that young
Thompson with all his talent, would
not be satisfied coming o ff the bench.
Black coaches in the N B A are
dropping like flies. Saturday after
noon the New York Knicks informed
their former superstar W illis Reed,
th a t his services were no longer
needed. Monday the ax fell on Satch
Sanders o f Boston.
That leaves only Elgin Baylor,
New Orleans and A1 Attics at Golden
State.

Blazers silence Pistol in 123-103 w in
by Ulysses Tucker, Jr.
In what was labeled as the battle of
two o f the best guards and .power
forwards in the NBA, turned into a
123-103 slaughter as the Trailblazers
danced to the beat o f New Orleans
Jazz on Tuesday night.
In the first half, Len “ T ruck”
Robinson outscored Maurice Lucas
18 points to 16. The two players
scrapped, snatched boards, posted
each other low, and “ faced” one
another with jumpers from down
town. The Blazers led 69-53 at half
time as Lucas received help from
Dave Tw ardzik’ s thirteen “ crazy”
points, and rookie Mychal Thomp
son, who came o ff the pine to chip
in a masterful 12. The only other
Jazz to score in double figures in the
first half was James McElroy with 11
points.
“ Pistol” Pete, who came into the
game averaging 25.0 per game, saw
his Bullets go blank as Lionel
Hollins, Ron Brewer and T.R. Dunn
emptied his holster. The aggressive
Blazer defense limited “ Pistol” to
four points in the half. Hollins had
several open shots, but decided that
the assist fo r a lay-up was more
rew arding. He finished w ith six
before the intermission, and shot 3x4
from the field.
“ Truck” Robinson, who faced the
Blazers 9 o f 14 times in the first half,
services and some vocational training
for eligible people who are looking
for employment, either full or part-
time.

did not touch the ball until the score
was 107-89 when he scored a short
jum per o ff a rebound. The more
“ Pistol” Pete shot blanks, the less
the ball went inside to the post.
“ I don’t think Truck was looking
for his shot as much because Pete
was controlling the ball and looking
for his,” said Luke.
A fte r the “ tra ild u st” from the
Blazer fastbreak cleared, they had
outrebounded the victors 56-34. Tom
Owens led the pack of board pound
ers with 13, Lucas, 12 and Mychal
Thompson 9 rebounds. This trio
enable the Blazers to slip away for
several crow d pleasing baskets
throughout the night.
“ We knew that we could beat
them down the court,” said Lucas.
“ The plan was to get the rebound,
keep Truck o ff the boards, and out
run them.”
M ychal Thom pson who had
scored only 27 points in the last four
outings, came out o f his slump with
an excellent display o f skills o ff the
bench.
“ The easiest way for me to pop
out o f my daze was to run hard,” he
said. “ Coach told us to run the ball
all night, to keep pushing it at them.
The scouting report said that they
were very weak on tra n s itio n a l
defense,” he added.
Elgin Baylor, former Laker great
and head coach o f the Jazz, said,
“ People keep talking about this man
not getting the ball, that player not
getting the ball. I ’m more worried
about keeping the other team from
scoring on us. I f we play defense,
the offense w ill come easy."
Coach Ramsay praised the play o f
his guards and gave credit to Tward-
zik and “ The T rain” for running
the fastbreak. Hollins finished the
contest w ith nine assists fo r the
night. Twardzik and Thompson add
ed five apiece. Top scorers for the
Blazers were Lucas, 22 points;
Thompson, 21; Owens, 17; Tward
zik, 17; Ron Brewer, 11; and Hol
lins and T.R. Dunn with 10 points.
The Jazz were led by James McElroy,
23 and T ruck Robinson w ith 20
points.
