at the same time the Ontario Tigers
were able to get second shots and make
them, The Tigers kept the pressure on
the Buffs through out the first quarter
but then in the second quarter Madras
woke up a little and started their move
to out score the Tigers 24-10 to take a
26-22 half umc lead.
The Buffs continued their roll in the
third quarter again out scoring the
Ontario Tigers 22-9, to extend their
lead to 48-31 after three quarters of
play. From that point on all the players
saw some action through out the quarter
as the Ontario team outscorcd the
Buffs 18-16, but that was well short to
overtake the big lead the Buffs built in
the two middle quarters.

Buffs 75; Nyssa18
This is the time when the Nyssa
Bulldog girls basketball team should
have gone shopping or something be
cause the v came to Madras for a league
game and were blown away by the Buff
girls as they pounded them every which
way but loose, by the tunc of 75-1 8.
It was one of those nights when it
was a long, long night for the visitors.
It was just like aiming out a penned up
Buffalo where it took off and never
looked back to sec what a mess it left
Thai's just what the Buff girls did was
take off and never looked back to see
where Nyssa was, because after one
quarter of play the score was 16-6, and
the second quarter was no different
where they went 25-7 over the visiung
Bulldogs and at halftimc the score was
41-13.
The starters were on the sideline
most of the second half. Laura Sahmc
and Michelle Simmclink were high
scorers with 10 points each. Every girl
on the team got in the scoring column
during the game. Others scoring were
Shirley Allen and Heather Clowcrs

had two 3 pointers and Luannc Foltz
one.
Buffs 65; Baker 58
The win for the girl Buffaloes was
a big booster because a win on the
road is always tough to come by. On
Saturday night the Buff girls traveled
to Baker City to take on the Bulldogs
who were all fired up for the game,
but they came home with the victory
by the score of 65-58.
The Madras girls had to make a big
adjustment to overcome a deficit as
they were trailing by 7 points at the
intermission mark by the score of 36
29. It was a tough defense and a big
team effort that brought the Buffs out
of the hole and go on to get win number
five with one loss in league play to date.
Free throws were another key factor
as Becky Dodson hit 5 of 6 from the
free throw line in the final period to put
the Buffs out of reach in the closing
moments of the game. There was good
ball handling that opened up the inside
for the easy two.
The Buffs were a little cold in the
first half missing a lot of easy shots and
Baker coming up with the rebounds
and scoring almost at will with the big
girls is the middle, and they were
getting second shots under their own
basket getting offensive rebounds. The
Buff girls didn't lose their cool dispite
the big lead the host Bulldogs had at the
intermission. They hung right in there
and fought back out of the hole to take
the lead away from Baker.
In the second half the Buffs
regrouped to put up a tough defense to

completely and they took the tempo
away form the host Baker team. At the
start of the final quarter with the Buff

In the game against Nyssa, Luanne
girls leading by just a point 46-45, the
game went point for point for some
time but then the Buff girls put a lid on
the basket to stop the Baker girls. When
the inside tightened up the girls hit the
long bombs from the outside as Laura
Sahme,Luanne Foltz and Shirley Allen
all connected with three pointers. This
would open up the inside for easy shots
under the basket for the big girls.

be a runner. If you're a walker or just
someone interested in promoting
good health, we would like you to
join.
One of our goals is to promote
good health among the people of this
community and to get more people
involved in community-type activi
ties. We feel running and walking are
just a couple of the many ways to do
that Other activities that the club has
contemplated undertaking are a
biathlon, a marathon, a series of runs
for high school kids, using these as
ways to keep the kids training for
school activities, plus a clinic or se
ries of clinics for walkers and run
ners. Hopefully, that will be one of
the goals for 1992. In order to do this,
we need help, though. We would
really enjoy having you be a part of
these activities.
Very soon , we will be electing
new officers (probably around the
end of April.) We hope that more
people will get involved by becom
ing a member andor participant of
the club.
For any information on the club or
any activities, contact one of the of
ficers: Chief Smith, president; Terry
Squiemphen, Vice-president; Cal
Poncho, treasurer; or Val
Squiemphen, secretary.
