Fourth-place is an outstanding finish in the Yakama tournament, said James Scott, player and coach of the Ridgerunners. "The Yakama tourney in my opinion is one of the most competitive adult basketball tournaments in the country," said Scott, who has been play ing in the tournament for 22 years. "I've yet to find a tourna ment with as much of a com petitive atmosphere," said Scott, "and the quality of the players continues to grow year after year." The Yakama Nation All Indian tournament this year marked its 48th anniversary. In past years the tournament was held in the Wapato High School gym. This year, though, the event took place at the Yakama Nation Legends Ca- Warm Springs boxers By Austin Smith Boxing coach In April the boxing club from our community went to compete in the Inland Washington State Championships, hosted by the Triple-A Boxing Club of Spo kane. Regardless of how I got us lost on the road coming back home, the trip itself seemed to be a success. Almost everyone, got to box except Austin Smith Jr. He had no one in his age and weight class that matched up with him. This is one rule that is applied to all the competitors. You must be within two years of one another and you also must be within five pounds of weight of one another. For some odd reason Austin just didn't have anyone there at his age or weight to box with. Then some thing happened with Trevor Tewee, Jasper Smith and Leonard American Horse, they also got walk through recogni tions, although they did get some match bout competition during the tournament, and they all won .IN I" r.

His team the Ridgerunners took fourth place at the recent tourney. sino Event Center, in Toppenish. The Lapwai, Idaho, team took these matches. Wesley Graybael had two boxers in his weight class at 106 pounds. They boxed for the championship on Saturday night. It was a good bout for Graybael, he missed many punches, but the other fella did too. Wesley carried the action and the third round showed heavy to the red corner and we won that bout and the 106 pound championship plus five points for a team win. U Johnny Smith of the Warm Springs Boxing Club and Justin Evans of the Central Oregon Boxing Club ended up the only two 131 pounders in their weight division, so they boxed for that championship spot on Sunday afternoon in the blue ring and in the red corner. A bloody fight it was, but it wasn't native blood. It was a close box ing match with some good turn ing and tagging done by Evans, who scored with his jab a lot. But Johnny landed all the power punches from his slower set 4 IK ' v ; f- vX' ... first place. The Lapwai team is consistently among the very best Indian teams in the nation, compete at Spokane pace. Johnny seemed in better condition in this competition. So being in shape is the key to having confidence to win. The 131-pound championship match in the junior open divi sion came to the red corner and . we brought it home. Leander Smith on Saturday night boxed his way to Sunday's open junior cadet championship. match bv first defeating the Delarosa boxing club's 85 pound entry. His next opponent on Sunday afternoon was, an other native boxer from the Colville Boxing Club of Nespelem, Wash., and it was for the championship match for the open junior 85-pound division. Leander was perfect men tally. He was very game to win, but it was just not his time to defeat this opponent It was. good and close and had me hop- ing, yet hoping isn't for the judges to score. Leander got the second place medal, but sounded like a winner after the match and when the talk resumed. In the 145-pound match bouts, Trevor Tewee was the first Warm Springs winner. It took Trevor one round to soften ' him up more and in round two Trevor stuck him with a stiff jab a few times and that got him ducking, but only into his hard right upper cuts. Before the third ,man stepped in Trevor had him down, but he got up by the count of eight and took some Free delivery - PRINTING Tribal Bustaen Cards Business Forms FikFoMeri EnvekpesLetierfaeads Raffle Tickets aron graphic i promotion Bev Arthur Landscaping Services Your community's new, reliable and reasonable landscaping service We provide the following landscaping services: Lawn mowing, barking where needed, weed control, tree and shrubbery pruning,, edging, removing leaves, planting flowers, shrubs and trees, weed ing gardens and flower beds, and general cleanup of yard.

"I never expected that," said Scott. Scott said he would like to see Warm Springs host more adult basketball tournaments. more hard punches that sent; him down and no more getting up this time. No boxing match is easy. When they are over, you can take it easy. Trevor did pretty . good. Jasper Smith won two match ' bouts in the 114-pound weight class. One victory was against Tyson Bruce from the Kelowna Boxing Club and another a from a boxer out of the Tacorna Boxing Club. Both bouts became exciting, or maybe it just appeared to me like that ' Anyhow Jasper kept his training next to him and it all paid off. .'..' Leonaxd American Horse, I think his name had a lot to do with his winning. He and Omar, his sparring partner from Cul ver, they, went all the way up to Spokane to spar again, but this time they had a crowd, peers, . and pressure to win. Plus, it wasn't a sparring session tHis time either, and there was a prize if you could beat the other guy at this game. So I think our man American Horse had it scouted out already and knew . how much had to be done to wrap up the win. It couldn't have been accomplished without his unique perspective in doing it right ' Thank you Warm Springs Fire Management for lending us the big van that we frequendy ask permission to use.
