Colville Wins Holiday Tourney
by Roger Stwyer
When the buzzer ended the
first h alf of the cham pionship
game, the Colville Tribe of Nes
pelum was trailing Vermillion,
South Dakota, 43-38. At the end
of the th ird q u a rte r Colville
made no progress still trailing
by five points, 69-64. Rut with
Mike Jordan leading the way in
the fourth q u a rte r the Colville
Tribe managed to outscore Ver
m illion to win the 19th Annual
Holiday Tournament, 92-89.
Termed as one of the tough
est tournaments, competitive-
wise by Satch M iller, Holiday
Tournament director, the four
day event drew capacity crowds
nearly every session. Miller felt
that the ’77 tournam ent had
more b etter team s with taller
players which provided the
tough competition.
Also, two records were
broken at the tournament. Pete
Conway, Vermillion player,
scored 60 points against Nez
Perce to break the most points
scored in a single game. And the
queen candidates broke the sales
record, selling $3,200 worth of
tickets.
Mina Shike, daughter of
Raymond Sr., and Charlotte
Shike, was chosen as the Holi
day tournament Queen, and Ar-
lene Wewa was first runner up.
All four candidates, Mina Shike,
Arlene Wewa, Althea Scott and
Nisa SoHappy, w ere given 10
percent of their ticket sales, two
pairs of pants, sports jackets
and vests, and a week-end at the
Hilton Hotel in Portland. In ad
dition, the queen also received a
$50 savings bond, garment bag,
leather jacket, and a calculator.
The host team , the W.S.
Magpies didn’t fare as well,
dropping their first gam e to
Nespelum, 94-76. After the short
re st the M agpies put down
Seattle 119-109, to only be de
feated by Davis, Calif., 96-83.
P oplar, M ontana, placed
third and highly favored Ft.
Yates, N.D., filled in the fourth
place position.
Ben M archand of the Col
ville Tribe was named Hustler ;
Rodney Miller, Poplar, Mont.,
brought down the most re
bounds; and Ken Billingsly, Ft.
Y ates, N.D., had the most a s
sists. The sportsmanship award
went to P oplar, Mont. Mike
Jordan, Colville, was nam ed
Most Valuable Player.

Flu Bug Fouls Girls White Buffs
Although Buff Coach Dave
Wiles adm itted th at the Crook
County Cowgirls were “ better
than we w ere” in la st Thurs
d ay ’s gam e, he did say that
some of his girls were battling
the. flu. The Buffs lost that con
test 55-45.
The Cowgirls smoked past
the Buffs playing tough defense
and they hit 62 percent from the
field. High scoring Mary Nelson,
who usually averages about 20
points a game, was held to only
11.
One spectator observed that
the Buffs “all looked really tired
com pared to Crook County.”
Wiles said he w asn’t excusing
their loss to the flu at all, but it
couldn’t have helped matters.
M adras hit just 23 percent
from the field (16 of 68) and 41
percent from the line (13 of 32).

was a completely different story
with Madras coming out on top
58 to 28.
“We were ahead 25-14 at the
h alf,” said Wiles, “ but during
the third q u a rte r we got our
full-court press going and blew
them (G rant Union) off the
court. We outscored them 20 to 1
in the third q u a rte r,” he said
proudly.
The junior v arsity girls
played the last one-and-a-half
quarters and actually increased
the lead built up by the varsity
squad, according to the coach,
Mina Shike was in and out of
the gam e due to her flu con
dition, and Mary Nelson shot her
usual game tallying 24 points.
Wiles described Kimiko
Danzuka as a “dedicated kid”
who never misses practice. He
said she gets better every week -
steady improvement.
With an overall record of 7-3
and a league record of 1-1, the
Buffs next game will be against
Mac Hi tonight (Friday). Coach
Wiles doesn’t anticipate any
problem - “ but you never
know.”
