Buffs Win First Round
In the first round of the State
AA basketball tournament Mad
ras won over Clatskanie 53-51 in
a game that could’ve gone either
way.
Getting a slow start, the
White Buffaloes were behind
18-10 after the first quarter. It
wasn’t until 6-3 Bruce Olson ran
into foul trouble and was pulled
out of the game with three fouls
in the first quarter that Madras
slowly started pulling them
selves together. Clatskanie’s
full-court-press and fast-breaks
in the first quarter made Buff
players uneasy and accounted
for missed shots. The boards
were dominated by Clatskanie
which pulled down the rebounds,
then scored on the fast-breaks.
In the second quarter it was
the Tiger’s turn to be cold.
Within the first two minutes of
action Madras was only one point
behind. With 5:27 left on the
clock the Tigers called time-out
with the score at 18-17. Madras
led only once in the first half,
25-24, and the half-time score
was 28-25, Clakskanie.
The second half the Buffs
came back, led by Mike Fiala
who scored 13 points in the
second half. Ron Wilson missed
shot after shot.
With 59 seconds left in the
game, Clatskanie called time-out
with Madras ahead 53-51. Clats
kanie apparently tried to stall for
time to hopefully put the game
into overtime. But they got
over-exited and, with five sec
onds left on the clock, threw the
ball out-of-bounds to clinch the At the State AA Boy’s Basketball Tournament at Engene McArthur
game for Madras.
