not available at press time.
The White Buffaloes blew
away the Valley Catholic Valiants

Ilasterlings 27 points. He
outscored everyone in the game.
A lot of Easterling's points
came from second efforts on
rebounding and going back up
to score. He was very instru
mental getting rebounds on both
sides of the court, offense as
well as defense.

Rodeo Association elects officers
By Sid Miller
Publisher Emeritus
Warm Springs Rodeo Asso
ciation President Delford
Johnson called the meeting to
order at 5:30 p.m. on Feb. 5.
On the agenda was the elec
tion of new officers for the
coming rodeo season.
The club members unani
mously re-elected Delford
Johnson for another term.
Other officers elected were as
follows: vice-chairman Sid
Miller; Val Squiemphen, trea
surer; secretary Maria Hicks,
Club Advisor J.R. Smith,
Carmella Scott and Ginger
Smith elected to serve as public
relations officers.
There was no old business.
The next item on the agenda was
the coming rodeo season.
The first one for the Warm
Springs Rodeo Association
(WSRA) is the Root Feast Ro
deo, which is coming very soon.
Stock contractors will be con
tacted and scheduled for the
rodeo.
The other rodeo of concern
is the Pi-Ume-Sha Rodeo, which
comes during the Treaty Days
Celebration in June.
The WSRA now belongs to
the "Columbia River Rodeo As
sociation" and not to the West
ern States Rodeo Association of
the past.
The Columbia River Rodeo
Association covers Oregon,
Washington, Northern Idaho.
These are several C.R.A.
Rodeo's already scheduled.
The travel will not be so great
here in the Northwest. A big
concern in any organization is
fundraising events or projects.
The chairman asked for
ideas on how we could have
fundraising events. Suggestions
include a raffle of various
items, a dance at Kah-Nee-Ta.
For the raffle, items will be an
nounced later on. Membership
dues are due, and there was dis
cussion of recruiting new mem
bers. With everyon in agreement
and with no further business, the
meeting was adjourned.

By Sid Miller
Publisher Emeritus
The Madras girls basket
ball team won two of three
games to close out their regu
lar season schedule. They
advanced to league playoff
action at Gladstone last Sat
urday. The White Buffaloes won
an important game over the
Wilsonville Wildcats 61-47
during Tri-Valley action. The
loser was out for the season
and Madras being the winner
advanced to meet Gladstone
on their home court. Madras
lost at Gladstone and was
eliminated from state tourna
ment consideration.
The White Buffaloes
jumped right out to a 15-8
lead in the first quarter
against Wilsonville and
outscored the Wildcats 12-8
in the second quarter to go
into the halftime leading 27
16. In the third quarter the
White Buffs went cold for a
spell as the Wildcats closed the
gap to five points, 34-29 at the
end of the third quarter. In the
final period the Buffs got their
act together once again and with
three quick baskets the breath
ing room was a bit better.
Tara Prow led the way with
. 19 paints, Elise Hawes had 11,
and Susan Ahem 8.
Earlier in the week Prow led
the charge with 25 points to give
Madras a 57-38 win over the
Valiants of Valley Catholic.
At the end of the first quar
ter the Valiants held a one point
lead 11-10. When the halftime
came the White Buffaloes took
command to lead 25-19.
Madras outscored the Val
iants 17-8 in the third quarter
and to top things off they
outscored the Valiants 15-11 in
the final period to give them the
win. the victory tied Madras
with Gladstone at 8-6 in league
standings. Gladstone defeated
Madras two times in league play
so they got home court advan
tage in a Tri-Valley playoff
game.
Ahem scored 14 points in
the victory over Valley Catho
lic. In earlier Tri-Valley action
Sherwood held out to win a
close game over Madras, 45
42. The Buffs were 10 points
down with five minutes in the
game, but they made a run
to cut the lead to three be
fore the final buzzer sounded.
Sherwood made their free
throws when they needed
them to keep just out of
reach of the Buffaloes in the
closing minutes of the game.
Hawes made three three
pointers and outscored every
one during the game, ending
up with a total of 15 points.
Ahem got one three-pointer
and ended the game with 13
points.Madras held a two
point lead at the end of the
first quarter, but Sherwood
took over the lead at halftime,
25-22. Sherwood was ahead
34-27 at the end of three
quarters.
