and 7.
Boys Results
The Warm Springs Teen
Boys celebrated as champs by
being the only remaining
u n d e fe a te d team in the
tournament. The team’s three-
game winning streak began
with an uncontested win over
Chiloquin, 68-34. The 4-H
Warchiefs gave the Teen Club,
as well as the fans, an exciting
and close second game. Scoring
was fairly matched, with the
Warchiefs playing catch-up at
times.
With only seconds remaining
in the game, the Warchiefs were
down by one basket, and had a
chance to put the game into
overtime. A perfectly thrown,
fu ll-co u rt, inbounds pass
resulted in a missed lay-up and
follow-up shot, giving due
satisfaction to the host team,
62-60.
Nespelem gave the Teen
Boys a good championship
game, despite Nespelem’s small
numbers. Final minute action
resulted in three visiting players
fouling out, leaving three
players to make up a minimal
scoring deficit. The final score
was Nespelem-64, and WSCC-
72.
Teen Boys all-stars were,
David Crow and A1 Estimo,

Kneeland, and James Scott,
