Saturday, February 6, 1993. The
inlanders, a highly rated team ac
cording to the experts, were set back
by (he determined Buffalo team,
beating them 75-66. This was one of
the big steps by the Buffs winning on
the road. 11 the momentum continues
as most of the tougher games will be
on the home floor. AH except for the
encounter with the Ontario Tigers
where they have to travel to meet
them on the 19th,on their home floor.
On the following night they play at

It's always hard to get a win on the

We BAAAD plays in Mt. Hood
We BAAAD participated in a
tournament held at Mt. Hood Com
munity College February 6-7, 1993.
The teams participating in their
bracket were Albany Southern Or
egon, The Dalles, Klamath Falls,
North Albany, Salem, Kalama,
Washington, Cedar Park Bcavcrton,
and Bend, Oregon who made it late
to the tourney.
We BAAAD drew a bye in the
first round. In the Second Round
they surprised our opponent and the
crowd with a run away 55-27 victory
over Cedar Park Bcavcrton, who
came into the game over confident.
The coach was surprised when he
found out 8 kids on the Roster were
7th graders, complimented them on
their game.
In the third round the team played
a well coached and disciplined team,
Kalama Washington. The team took
them in a full court press. Man-man
defense, and a run gun offense, which
threw them off for awhile, enough to
hold on to a narrow victory 55-53.
The lead changed six different times.
Once Kalama got into their game,
We BAAAD had to play harder.
In the fourth round the director
asked if the team would be willing to
scrimmage another Bend team,
making it the third game of the day.
They were very tough and a quick
team.
It turned out to be a crowd pleaser
from start to finish. Going into over
time, with Bend pulling off a victory
with a last shot 55-54. This gave the
team experience, recognition, and
good exposure to other coaches and
teams. In the championship game

was 6'6", 6'4", 6'3" with some very
quick guards, We BAAAD matched
up with them in a full court press, and

start and led after one quarter 17-15,
and as the half time buzcr sounded
the Buffs still held the lead 34-28.
After three quarters the Buffs held on
to the lead 55-46, and in the final
quarter both teams scored 20 points
apiece which gave the Buffs 75-66,
win over the inlanders.
Lcif Suppah led the scoring for
the Buffs with 22 points as he was
hot again burning the nets and
building the lead. It was the shooting
of Lcif Suppah and the Hustle of
Tom Norton who also had a Whale of
a game. Norton contributed 1 1 points
for the winners and had a superb
game on defense that really sparked
the Buff learn.
The Buffs are almost over the
crowd, and their opponent. Trading
leads through out the game. In the
last 50 seconds We BAAAD pulled
out in to a 4 point lead. Bend put on
aprcss of their own, throwing them
off. We BAAAD tried to change to a
stall and ball control causing turn
overs, Bend came back beating them
in the last 8 seconds, 53-51.
Congratulations are in order

All the teams who participated in
the Cougars tournament January 29
3 1 , 1 993 , deserve a hearty congratu
lations. By participating, all team
members snowed they were dedicated
to not only the game, but to practice,
effort and stick-to-it-tiveness.
You can do anything you want,
with a lot of hard work, depending on
how bad you want it. Nothing comes
overnight. It takes time and a lot of
disappointments to get to the top, as
it did out team. We were no power by
any means in youth basketball, but
were recognized as a competitive
team. That came with a lot of hard
work, and with great parent support
for our players.
A young athlete can be taught, in
practice, the fundamentals of the
game, team work, sportsmanship,
responsibility, enjoyment of the
Buffs take league lead-
The Madras White Buffaloes went
right to work on the visiting Baker
Bulldogs on Saturday, February 13,
as they got the jump and never looked
back to roll on to a 75-61 win and
sole first place in the Greater Oregon
League standings.
Leif Suppah's sharp shooting,
adding 27 points with several three
pointers, helped lead the Buffs to
victory. S uppah was all over the floor
on offense and defense, getting re
bounds, getting steals and assists and
even blocking the shots of much taller
players. The whole team turned in a
superb performance out-rebounding
effort enjoyed at games
girls develop the dances and chore-
ography themselves.
The team was started last year,
but didn't show as much enthusiasm
as it does this year. "The right com
bination of girls has made all the
difference," says Weinert.
The team members raised money
iiump in league play boasting a 5
win, 1 loss record. On Saturday, the
Bulldogs of Baker will cone to town
and if the Buffs should win the game
they will have the handle on the
league lead. Along with Suppah and

when they know someone in the
crowd is supporting them, giving
them that extra push. It's good to be
recognized, but it's hard on the team,
because everyone gives that extra
hard effort to beat you.
It's a great feeling that all young
athletes do enjoy at one time or an
other, knowing they did it as a team,
and to be considered number one for
awhile. Congratulations to the
Blackhawks for coming up like they
did. They're a very strong, competi
tive team.

ket. One thing about it, the Buffs can
run the ball if the opposing team is
careless and they did get a lot of lay
ups in the game. They also worked
the ball well, getting into scoring
points. This was the second meeting
between the two schools and Madras
came away with the win both times.
The Buffs are the only team to beat
Baker so far this year.
Next, the Buffs make their swing
