Madras up-End the LaSalle Falcons for the No.1 Seed
It's been a long pull for the Madras
Boy's basketball team to come from
one of the worst starts to emerge the
No. 1 , seed for the Tri-Valley league
at the state tournament.
In their three play-off games they
faced the Sherwood Bowmen who at
that time were rated sixth in the state

Deece Suppah looking for someone to pass to while the Madras
White Buffaloes beat Valley Catholic and earn a spot in teh State
Girls Basketball tournament held in the Chiles Center on the U of P
campus. The Tournament runs from March "through 14, 1998.
The Madras girls face Philomath Warriors in first round action.
ratings. With determination the
Buff's over came that situation to
defeat the Bowmen on their home
floor.. Than it was off to Gladstone
for their second game in the play
off's the Buffaloes came along to
dethrone the Gladiators for a piece
of the state play-offs. They say all
road trips are tough games but that
didn't seem to bother the Buffs, as
they claimed a spot in the state
tournament. The next step is to play
the LaSalle Falcons to see who will
be the top seed from the Tri-Valley
league.
The big show down between the
LaSalle Falcons and the Madras
White Buffaloes. The game was a
burner right from the start as both
teams were all up for this contest and
wanted the assurance of the No. 1,
spot from the league. Many fans
thought that the LaSalle Falcons
would sort of go through the motions
to wrap up but the Buffaloes had
other ideas in mind as they were
going for that No. 1, spot as well as
they made their presence known that
they were there to play basketball.
They controlled the opening tip and
gave the Falcons every kind of
problem there was to give from the
word go. The Buffs played the
Falcons on even terms through the
first quarter as they were tied at 15
apiece, and the Buffs even led at the
half time 29-25, which was surprising
to many who were on hand.
Things looked a little dim for the
Buffs when the second half started
where it looked like the Falcons woke
up and they went on a scoring binge
where they out scored the Buffs 25
10, in the third period to make the
score 50-39 for the Falcons.
B ut the game is not over until the
final buzzer sounds and that's the
whole story where the Madras White
Buffaloes came back fighting all the
way to out score LaSalle 23-11 in
the final period, and when the final
buzzer sounded the Buffs came out
on top by one point 62-61 and that
was the ball game.
The Buffaloes minus Brian Miller
who became ill and could not make
the trip and along with three of the
main players of the team who fouled
out, that of Kyle Wyatt, Jerold Rico,
and Peter Johnson, but the Buffs
kept their Cool playing the game
right along with the Falcons and
eventually came out the winner and
the No. 1, seed from the Tri-Valley
league

Madras Boys Get By Sherwood Bowmen
The Madras White Buffaloes will
have to travel for games in the play
off to see who goes to State. A big
win for the Buffs as they traveled to
Sherwood to meet the Bowmen in
their gym on their first road trip where
the Buffs handed the highly rated
Sherwood team the loss.
The big underdog White buffaloes
got the jump on the Sherwood
Bowmen and kept them at bay all
evening long putting on some tough
defense and beating them to a lot of
rebounds and making steals for quick
lay-ups.
The Buffaloes had to face the
highly rated Jeff Auxie, who
exploded for 45 points for the game,
Auxie the 6-foot-3 senior who was
voted Tri-Valley player of the year
and he showed he was just that during
the game, but the Buffs kept their
momentum a going to hold off the
highly rated Sherwood Bowmen
team as they won their first game on
the tough road toward the state
tournament.
Madras (74): Jerold Rico had the
hot hand during the game scoring 25
points, to top all scoring for the
night. The Buffaloes used their
quickness to get inside and score on
the bigger Sherwood team. It was a
big win over the sixth ranked team
in the state polls.
Brian Miller was another barrel
for the Buffs as he added 12 points
for the winning Buff team, Miller
always has a hand with the three
pointers and they add up in a game.
Cordes also went on a little scoring
rampage pouring in a total of 7 points
for the game, Johnson added 4 and
Mora 4. All the boys saw some action
during the night
Scoring Wyatt 2, Moschetti 12,
Christensen 7, Sites. Moses and
Reeder.
Sherwood (65): Auxie 45,. Forbes
' 12, Harris 1, Wert 6, Jordan Sarver 3,
Tveton, Courtney, Allison 2, Brown.
This evens the score a little for the
Madras White Buffaloes as the
Sherwood team beat the Buffs quite
handily earlier in the year by 3 1 points,
but since than the B uffs have improved
tremendously and have been playing
great ball here in the closing games of
the season.
The next game for Madras will be
with Gladstone on their home floor

p.m. A must win for the Buffs to go on
