"Sports Talk"
by Sid Miller
Baker City 32, Madras 28
After the regular season ended
Baker City and the Madras White
Buffaloes ended with identical
records and a play-off was set to
determine who would go to the
state play-offs as the No. 2 seed
from the Greater Oregon League.
The Vale Vikings already sewed up
the No. I spot winning the league
with a perfect record.
The stage was set for the high
school at Umatilla, a neutral court
which is about half way between
the two schools. Fans from both
cities filed into the gym all fired up
with big expectations for a great
night. Everyone felt tnesion in the
air as the two teams warmed up for
the big showdown and when the
game finally got underway. Baker
City jumped out to a 1 0-4 first
quarter lead and things didn't look
too good for the Buffs at all. But,
then, in the second quarter, the
Buffs came to life and completely
shut down the Baker scoring and
Buffs win

by Sid Miller
After a split on their last Eastern
Oregon swing, the Madras White
Buffaloes were pretty much out of
the race for the title, or a shot at the
state play-offs.
The Buffs beat the Nyssa Bull
dogs and were still in the running
but the next night, a loss to Baker
put them out of the race.
The Buffs finished regular sea
son play in good fashion at home
on March 2, but defeating the Mac

held them to no points during the
entire second quarter while the
Buffs were able to score 10 points
and take the lead away from Baker
and led 1 3-I0 at half time.
In the third quarter the Buffs
allowed only two points to the
Baker Bulldogs while scoring 10 of
their own. Going into the final
quarter the Buffs led 23-1 2 when
the roof caved in on them during
the final quarter. The Madras girls
could only score five points while
Baker went on a rampage getting
20 points on a big comeback to,
upset the apple carl and whatever
else there was to upset by edging
the Buffs at the final buzzer 32-28,
thus giving Baker City the right to
enter the state play-offs in the
Salem Armory. It was a heart
breaker for the girls who gave it
their, best shot and to see some
simple mistakes dwindle all their
hopes down the drain. After the
score was tied at 28, the Buffs were
looking for that good shot and
time running out when a bad pass
was made right into the hands of a
Baker defender who raced down
for an easy two points. There was
final home game
Hi Pioneers 69-53, thus creating a
three-way tie between the Vale Vik
ings, the Ontario Tigers and the
Mac Hi Pioneers. A playoff will
determine the champion of the
league and who places second. The
to two teams will enter the state
play-offs later in the month in
Eugene, Oregon. This year, one of
those, rare occasions when the
Madras White Buffaloes arept in
the state tournament programs.
In the game with Mac Hi, Mad
ras started slow and came from
behind to take the game away from
the Pioneers. The Buffs started all

I'm sure they all made mistakes
but to make a simple mistake as
they did in the closing seconds by
callinga time out with none remain
ing giving them a technical foul
and Baker connecting on both ends
of the one and one to put the game
out of reach with just a few second
left to play. All state play-off hopes
zipped out of sight for the Buffs
and the Baker fans went wild after
a quiet third quarter when their
team looked like it was hopeless for
the comeback and Madras was
holding them down to just two
points through two quarters.
