Buffaloes Win In Double OT
Over Estacada Ranqers
The Estacada Rangers came to town
and give the Madras While Buffaloes a
big scare, but the Buffaloes kept cool to
win the Tri-Vallcy league game in
double overtime, by he final score of
82-72, in a real thriller.
The Buffs trailed throughout most
of the game as the fired up Estacada
team kept the pressure on the Buffs. At
times it looked lime the Buffs would
suffer a home floor loss.
Madras post man Scott Riddle
helped the Buffs back in contention
after he sat out the first quarter and
most of the second quarter because of
a couple of quick fouls called on him
. with-in a couple minutes of the game.
. But when he did return to the lineup
. things began to happen. Scott Riddle
. burned the nets for a total of 34 points
for the night to top all scorers and got
. the Buffs rolling.. Scott Riddle was
doing almost everything good for the
Buffs, getting the rebounds on both
ends ofthefloorand blocking Estacada
shots both under the basket and on the
preimetcr; TJ Foltz played a superb
game with his quick moves driving
toward the basket to score or pass off
for an assist.. Both Riddle and Foltz
were the only two players in double
figures for the Buffs as Foltz collected
15 points for the night.
At the end of the first quarter the
. Rangers held a 5 point lead over the
Buffs and were hustling all over the
place keeping the Buffs pretty well at
bay. By the time the intermission came
around the B uffaloes did get back in the
ball game to let the Estacada know that
they were still around but Estacada
held the lead
The Estacada team a very balanced
team that could rotate five players at a
time and each group played just as
good a game as the other. They were all
fired up and had the Buffaloes backed
to the wall and wouldn't let them run
l(X)sc. Each time the Buffs would get
ahead one of the Estacada boys would
come up with a three pointer to put
them back in the lead again.
After three quarters the Buffs were
finally in the lead 41-40, but the score
see-sawed throughout the final quarter
and finally ending up in the deadlock at
57 apiece as Foltz let a long shot fly just
before the buzzer which hit the rim and
bounced away.
In the first over time period it looked
like the Buffs might have things pretty
well in hand but just before the buzzer
sounded Estacada managed to tic the
score again at 65 all. In the final OT
both teams played very tough ball but
the fouls cought up with the Rangers
and even caused them to draw a big,
"T" The Buffs finally pulled away to a
ten point win 82-72.

In the first game of the tournament
the Buffaloes bopped the Eagle Point,
a4-A team by thescorc ol 66-44, going
away.Thcgamccouldhavcbecnwor.se
but substitutions kept the score down

in that game. There was a good show
ing by the local hoopsters in front of the
home town crowd as they routed the
Eagle Point team. Scott Riddle, a Jr.
poured in a total of 32 points before he
sat down for the night. Riddle was good
on defense and had a super night scor
ing by turning in a total of 32 points for
the night. T J Foliz had himself quite a
night keeping the opponents on their
toes all evening long with his quick
drives down the lane or around the
sidelines and feeding off to players
under the basket, or scoring as well
himself..
On Saturday night the champion
ship game at slake between The
Honkers of Henley and the White Buf
faloes of Madras. The game belonged
to the I lonkcrs early in the game as they
jumped out to an early lead and never
relinquished it throughout the game.
The Henley Honkers went on to win
the game by the score of 62-55, which
wasn't a blow out but still a loss for the
home team. The highly regarded
Honker team had quite a lead as much

kept a digging away at the lead gnaw
ing itdown to where the Honkers had to
play heads up to keep the Buffs from
overtaking them.
Michael Kirsch led the Buff scoring
with 12 points, Scott Riddle played a
good defensive game but was bottled
up on the offensive side of the game. TJ
Foltz, with his crafty ball handling kept
the defense hopping around as he made
several key assists under the basket..
Their bid in the final quarter fell short
to give the Hornets the win and the
championship for this years Madras
