Buffs lose on last second shot
"Sports Talk"
by Sid Miller
The Madras White Buffaloc team
lost a heart breaker in the final
seconds of regulation playing time
to the Burns inlanders on their
home court by the score of 53-5 1,
last Friday night February 16.
"How important are free throws?"
Ask the Buffs as they missed on
two attempts at a one and one
shots with less than a half a minute
to play to lsot the game 53-5 1. The
Buffs were leading and with time
running out the Burns Hilanders
fouled Madras and what could
have been the game saver they
missed the first shot where than
Madras fouled Burnsand they sank
both shots getting with-in one of
the Buffs and with time runmning
out Burns fouled the Buffs again
and again they missed the first shot
and Wheeler took the rebound
and raced across mid-court and let
a long three pointer go to win the
game. Free shots are very impor
tant in every game and many times
spell the loss for a team if too many
are missed.
That loss puts the Buffs in a tie
with the Burns Hilanders with a
five win and four loss record while
the Ontairo Tigers and the Mac Hi
Pioneers are tied for second place
with 7-3 records.
Eric Petersen led the scoring for
the Buffs with 18. Jason Harris 14,
Todd Earnest, 6, Tony Holiday 6,
Scott Moses, 4. Jeff Colins 3, Rcmo
Smith I, Commingore, Sullivan
and Jones. There were only four
players who scored for the Burns
Hilanders with Joe Wheeler scor
ing 28, Harris 1 5, Uriate, 6. Eggles
ton 4. Bartcl, Rothwell, Fisher.
This coming weekend the Buffs
travel east to meet the Nyssa Bull
dogs on Friday night and Baker
City on Saturday. Than on March
2, they end regular season play
hosting Mac Hi Pioneers, with
game time JV 5:45 and Varsity at
7:30 p.m.
Buff girls top Baker City 57-39; Burns 55-38

"Sports Talk"
by Sid Miller
The Madras White Buffaloe girls
won two important games over the
week-end. On Friday night they
hosted the Baker City team and
came away with a big win by the
score of 57-39, then on Saturday
they traveled to Burns and beat the
Hilanders by the score of 55-38.
The two wins puts the Buffaloes
in second position in league stand
ing at 8-2. While Baker is standing
in the doorway with a 7-3 record
and both teams have two more
games to play in regular season
schedule.
On Friday night, the Buffs were
out to avenge an earlier loss to the
Baker team on their home floor
earlier in the season. Baker did get
off to a good start to out score the
Buffs in the first quarter 15 to II,
but in the second quarter the Buffs
put things together to take the lead
away from Baker and led 27-21 at
the end of the first half. Baker
made a little comeback in the third
quarter outscoring the Buffs 13-1 1
and trailed by four at the end of the
third quarter, but then the Buffs
tookoff and ran away from the
Baker team outscoring them 19-5
in the final quarter to bag the 57-39
win.
On Saturday night it was all
Madras throughout the game even
though it did look pretty close at
times early in the game. At the end
of the first quarter the Buffs led
10-9 and scored 10 to Burns 7 to
take a 20-16 half time lead.. In the
third quarter Madras collected 19
points and 16 more in the final
quarter while the Hilanders could

So, s
get II in the third and II in the
fourth to give the Buffs the 55-38
win.
This week-end the Buff gals end
their regular reason play on the
road east as they travel to meet the
Ontario Tigers on Friday night and
the league leading Vale Vikings on
Saturday night. They must win to
keep their hopes up for a state
tourney spot. Baker on the other
hand can still tie or even get ahead
of the Buffs if the Buffs should lose
both games and Baker wins both.
If Madras splits and Baker wins
there two games there could be a tie
for second place and if that should
happen and a tie created between
Baker and Madras there will be a
orte game play-off for the second
place spot at state. Shirley Allefi is
doubtful to see anymore action
with the team for the rest of the
season because of an ankle injury.
The Buffs have been operating
shorthanded most of the season
because of injuries.. .however these
last two games are very important
and a win is a must for the Madras
girls.
