Buffs clobber Vale Vikings
The Way I Saw It: The relentless
White Buffaloes find themselves
perched atop of the standings in
the Greater Oregon League after a
convincing win over the visiting
Vale Vikings, Saturday night Feb
ruary 7 on the Buffs home floor.
When all the cards were dealt
out, Tony Stacona found that he
had the hot hand to lead the Buff
attack on the Vikings as he scored a
total of 2 1 points to be high scorer
for the team. Vale had set up their
defense around the inside men,
Todd McGuire and Steve Cordill
and in doing so this opened the
door for point guard Stacona, allow
ing him to connect with nine field
goals and he was three for three at
the charity stripe. Stacona had a
very good night mixing the plays
