"Basketball as I see urn." It came
down to where the Madras White
Buffaloes had to win their final two
games in order to avoid a playoff
for the number 2 seed from the
COL. Mad they lost of their games,
the Buffs would have had a play
off with the Nyssa Bulldogs.
On March 2, the Baker Bulldogs
rolled into town with a win look in
their eyes and after one quarter of
play, it looked like they meant it, as
they led 14-11. But things changed
in the second quarter and the Buffs
went on a scoring rampage. They
were getting the rebounds and
rampcring down the floor, getting
Buffaloes
"As I sees 'urn." The final sche
duled game of the season was with
the Burns Inlanders here in Mad
ras. This game belonged to the
Buffs right from the start despite
dropping behind 8-2 in the first
minutes of play as the inlanders
connected on two three-point shots
and a two-pointer to put them
ahead.
When the Buffaloes got in gear
finally there was no looking back.
They led after one period 14-12.
And by intermission, the score was
32-1 4. The pace kept up in the third
period where the Buffs outscored
the Hilandcrs 24-11. By the time

a lot of easy shots, They even w ere
getting offensive rebounds and
scoring. This is what all the other
teams didn't want to get into is a
running game with the Buffs. The
Buffs ran the score to a big half
time lead with a score of 29-1 8. The
third quarter was pretty much a
Buff-controlled game to where the
score was 42-26. In the final quar
ter there were a lot of new faces on
the floor for the Buffs and both
teams scored 20 points to make the
final score 62-46.

Girls win one

final games
"As I sees 'urn." With the hopes
of capturing a state play-off spot,
the Madras Buff girls had one goal,
and that was to beat Baker City.
When Baker City came to town ;
they were all fired up, fresh from a
big win over the Ontario Tigers. If
the Ontario team would have beaten
the Baker Bulldogs there would
have been a tie between Baker and
Madras.
This was a game the Buffs wanted 5
and that they got turning in one of
'the better games battered Baker
City by the score of 59-32. Baker
City had a slight height advantage
but the Buff girls beat them to the i
punch. The Buffs kept the Bulldogs
off balance with good inside scor
ing. When they tightened up the
post then the wing personnel would
let a three-pointer fly to open up
the inside. If it were not for some
good outside shots, they could have
bottled up the post players and
probably beat the Bulls. I he Baker
Bulldogs were in the game pretty
tough for a while but the good play
by all the Buff girls pulled this
game out. Michelle Simmelink did
some good scoring from assists by
the guards. It Was just a good team
effort.
Carol Miller, Kris King and
Becky Soliz, all seniors, played
their final game.

"As I sees 'um." The final league

the way the Buffs appeared. One
night they all played well and the
next night, they were off beat or
something.
The game went pretty well in the
firt half where the lead changed
hands a few times. At the half time
the Buffs held a little lead and
things looked all right. But the
start of the third period with new
personnel who lacked varsity expe
rience were unable to hold off the
determined Burns Hilander team.
Several turnovers and some easy
baskets Burns took advantage and
ran the score up on the Buffs and
went on to score the win over the
visiting Buff team. The only bright
spot at this time is just to look for
ward to the next season.
