Buffs top Baker
7"A uy pw' wp fl tough defense on the Baker Bulldogs forcing them to shoot from the outside. Williams, Stacona and Whipple form the front
line.
After a devastating set-back in
the hands of McLaughlin High a
week earlier the Buffs bullied their
way to a 61-48, win over the Baker
Bulldogs here Friday night Feb.
20, to hold a slight edge over the
Ontario Tigers for second place in
the GOL standings.
With just three more league games
the White Buffaloes make one of
their toughest road trips this week
end to face Vale and Nyssa. If the
opponents dont get you the trip
will.
Earlier in the season the White
Buffaloes held off a determined
Nyssa team to get a slim win. Nyssa
has some height advantage on the
Buffs which could cause some
problems on their home floor. Nyssa
was one of the pre-season picks to
be on top of the league. At the
present time the Bulldogs have a
five win and four loss record. Lee
Newman one of their top scorers
all season long will be on hand to
haunt the Buff defense. Nyssa has
some good shooters at any given
night and are all capable to cut
loose any time. At times their out
side shooting is un-stoppable.
The Vale Vikings who have a
one win and eight loss record can
surprise people, especially on their
home floor. Although not very tall
they have some talent that could
cause problems if a team takes
them too lightly. The White Buffa
loes must be sure and not pack
their lead shoes for this important
trip as the road is getting shorter
toward a trip to state.
At the present time McLaughlin
High of Milton-Frcewatcr leads
the Greater Oregon league with a
7-2 record followed by the Buffs
with a 6-2 just ahead of Ontario
who has a 6-3 record. Baker and
Nyssa each have a 5-4 record while
Burns and Vale are I -8.
In the game with Baker it wasn't
until the last half that the Buffs got
their act together. At the end of the
first quarter the Buffs led 1 2-10,
and held a slight edge at half time
24-22. In the third quarter Todd
McGuire got rolling connecting on
six baskets to pull the Buffs out to a .
ten point advantage to lead 44-34.
In the final quarter the Buffs out
scored Baker 17-14 to ice the win.
McGuire led all scorers with 25
points followed by Steve Cordill
with 16, Bret Whipple 8, Tony
Stacona, Williams and Ron Blin
coe each added four points apiece.
Grayson Albrect led the Baker Bull
dogs scoring with 16, Ballard 14,
Henderson 9, Serrell 4, Nemic and
Marlctte 2 each Gordy I, to round
out the scoring for the Bulldogs.
The final league game for the
Buffaloes will be at home against
the Ontario Tigers. Their last meet
ing on the Ontario court went right
down to the wire with the Tigers
coming out on top. So the Buffa
loes will be out to even the score.

Madras Junior High on rampage
The Madras White Buffaloe girls
team presently tied with McLaugh
lin High for third place with 6-4
record, won a close game against
Baker here last Saturday night. It
was a hair raiser from start to
finish.

six field goals and two foul shots.
Jenet Wiles added nine points from
3 field goals and she was 3 of 4 at

Teresa Simmons, June Comin
gore, Deanie Smith and Angie Lee
made their final appearance as a
White Buffaloe as all the seniors
made a good showing for them
selves in front of the hometown
crowd. The win still puts light on a
play-off spot.
The Madras Jr. High 7th and 8th
grade boys basketball teams are
doing real well for themselves so
far this year.
After four games they have a
perfect record with no losses. So
far they've had two home games and
two on the road. Starting out the
season they traveled to Prineville,
where they met and defeated the
Prinville Middle School. Their next
outing was against Cascade(white)
of Bend. Next they traveled to
Obsidian, of Redmond and on
February 24th Pilot Butte came to
Madras. Both the 7th and 8th
grade teams are pretty well bal
anced and work well together and
tough as an old bull steak on
defense.
Their next home game will be on
February 26, with Cascade (Red)
of Bend, and at press time the
results were unavailable.
March 3, the Jr. High teams will
travel to Sisters for a couple of
games. On March 5, they travel to
Obsidian in Redmond. On March
10, they will have their last home
game with Obsidian of Redmond.
With the first game, the 7th graders
will start at 4:00 p.m. and on
March 1 7, they play their last game
of the season on the road with Cas
cade of Bend.

top contender, the Inter Tribal
team plans to attend the NIAA
finals April 14 to 18 in Oklahoma
City. The team will do fund raising
to earn their way to the finals this
year. Although no money was made
this time, we would like to have the
public aware of our efforts. Inter
