Gresham takes football crown
by Joe White
A partisan Gresham crowd of
15,426 fans was treated to
Gresham’s first-ever state football
championship as the powerful
Gophers outmuscled the Lebanon
W arriors 13-12 Saturday at Civic
Stadium.
The strength Gresham used earl­
ier in the playoffs to up-end No. 2-
ranked Lakeridge and No. I-ranked
M edford once again surfaced
against the No. 4 Warriors.
The final one-point margin came
about because Lebanon All-State
performer Bo Yates couldn’ t con­
vert on two extra points but the
game wasn’ t really decided on
Yates’ toe.
As the season developed, the
Gophers gradually flexed their mus­
cles until reaching the playoffs. First
year head roach Gary Stautz then
unleased the strong running game
headed up by Darin Humphreys and
Brian Hug.
The team’s overall strength came
through the players down in the
trenches. The Gophers stormed
through the playoffs with players
like Steve Mick, Rich Haggerty and
Kirt Voss opening up holes on o f­
fense and closing them on defense.
Lakeridge's usually potent o f­
fense was stifled by Gresham’s de­
fense in the quarterfinals and Med­
ford fared no belter in the semifin­
als.
Going into the title game, G re­
sham was aware that it must stop
the powerful Lebanon running at­
tack. Lebanon did get 126 yards on
the ground but was averaging 288
yards rushing per game.
Some o f the main reasons the
Warrior offensvie output was lower
than usual were quarterback sacks,
penalties and defense.
Warrior quarterback C liff W alk­
er was caught behind (he line five
times in the first three quarter. A
few of those losses took the air out
of the sails of Lebanon drives.
Penalties also were costly on a
couple of occasions. The yellow
flags didn't result in any Gresham
scores but did help stop Lebanon
drives and keep the Warriors from
collecting any momentum.
Gresham's defense was as selfish
as they come for allowing points this
season. Lebanon entered the game
having scored 424 points on the sea­
son but the Gophers had allowed a
scant 99 points to their opponents.
Lebanon's offense did manage a
pair of touchdowns but during the
final quarter Gresham held ground
against the Warriors.
Lebanon had two final chances
late in the game but once again the
defense for the state champs pre­
vailed. Gresham's Steve Belmore
stripped Walker of the football to
end one threat. Humphreys almost
got his third touchdown after he
scooped up the fum ble Belmore
caused by was just tripped up or else
he would have scored. Lebanon
stopped the Gophers from moving
the ball in for the score but Jim Gos-
Stautz developed a balanced a t­
tack that let everyone have a piece
o f the action. It wasn't until the
playoffs that Gresham moved
toward its running game as the main
weapon. The Gophers only threw
three passes in the title contest.
Humphreys gained 550 yards on
the ground during the regular sea­
son but rambled for an impressive
639 playoffs yards. I hat total in ­
cluded 119 yards and the two Gre­
sham touchdowns during the title
contest. His touchdown runs of 29
and 21 yards gave him 44 points in
the playoffs.
Yates set a new state playoff re­
cord by scoring 58 points. He scored
one touchdown Saturday, on a 44-
yard run, but the ju n io r fullback
would trade all those points for a
couple of missed extra points and a
title.
After all was said and done, the
conversion Tod Ronson made after
Hum phreys'
first
touchdown
proved to be the final margin. Ron­
son’s second attempt was blocked
but he was spared the unhappiness
that might have been when Yates
missed both of his attempts.

Winterhawks benefit poor
The Portland Winterhawks and
K G O N -R a d io are supportint The
Salvation Army's efforts to provide
food for those in need at Christmas
by designating December I7 th ’ s
game as “ Salvation Army Night At
The Winterhawks."
That night children 14 and young­
er w ill be adm itted to the game
against the V ictoria Cougars for
nell intercepted W alker’s despera­
tion pass as time ran out.
Gresham’s running attack was the
most notable offensive producer for
the Gophers. During the season
many reports said the Gopher o f­
fense was suspect but those reports
were unfounded.
After a rugged three-game trip to
the Midwest last week, the Oregon
State University women’s basketball
team will get a chance to rest up for
the upcoming Giusti Tournament.
The Beavers have just one game (his
week, an exhibition against Belco
Electric o f Seattle this S aturday,
Dec. I I , at Gill Coliseum beginning
at 3 p.m.
The Beavers returned to Corvallis
Wednesday after dropping a 74-72
decision to the 18th ranked Drake
Bulldogs. Drake's Kay Riek sank a
shot at the buzzer to pull out the
game. The Beavers also lost to I l ­
linois State 60-56 and defeated
Southern Illinois 65-63 on the trip.
OSU traveled to Portland Slate
Friday for a game with the much-
improved Vikings and won 73-62 to
raise its record to 3-2 on the season.
Belco Electric and the Beavers
met last season in G ill Coliseum
with OSU pulling out a 50-45 win in
a sloppy contest. Belco has since
added a pair o f players from the
Canadian National team and boasts
a 9-3 record to date. One o f those
wins came by 12 points over the
University of Portland.
Debbie Hyband is one of the Can­
adians and the 5-8 guard from
Bishops University in Quebec is
leading Belco with a 20-point scor­
ing average. Close behind is fellow
Canadian Carol Turney-l.oos, a 5-8
guard from the University o f Vic­
toria, averaging 16 points a game.
Also in double figures is Jo
Meizger-l evin. a 6-0 forward from
W o te rn W ashington, who has
chipped in 15 points a contest.
Belco is a short team, however,
with Metzger-Levin and Linda Hop­
per the tallest players at 6-0. Hopper
and 5-11 Keri VonMoof share duties
at the center position.
Since the game w on't count on
the OSU schedule, Beaver coach
Aki H ill may take the opportunity
to rest starting guard Juli Coleman,
who has been hobbled by a trouble­
some thigh bruise since the Republic
of China game. Coleman has been
limping badly and can't plant her
leg properly, which has hampered
her shooting and jumping
It may also give the Beaver bench
a chance to see a little action. In the
first five games, OSU has used just
seven players and one of those, Be­
linda Lopez, played just one m in­
ute. That adds up to a lot of minutes
for the other six and Judy Spoelstra
has been averaging 38 minutes a
game, as has Robyn Clark.
The Beavers will need the rest be­
cause the Giusti Tournament should
provide quite a challenge again this
year. The Beavers will open Dec. 19
against fifth-ranked Texas, with the
winner going against either second-
ranked Louisiana Tech or Washing
(on the following day. Long Beach
State, also ranked in the top 10, is
favored to win the other bracket.
