Ashland Boys Swamp Lava Bears
In Final Clash of State Tourney
By Tommy Newton
A vastly under-rated bunch of boys from Ashland
Hi, figured to finish 6th or 7th in the 25th annual
Oregon State High School Basketball Meet by the
pre tourney dopesters, roared over an outclassed Bend
ceam, 55-35, to capture the first state crown to come to
Ashland in 22 years.
The scarlet-shirted Grizzlies were really champ­
ions Saturday night, coming from behind in the second
quarter and setting a pace that the Lava Bears were
unable to keep, lt was Jay Samuelson who led the
Hgnting Ashland team with eight field buckets heaved
in at the right time. Every time the Easterners started
closing the gap, Samuelson would loop in a one-hander
xrom the side to keep the Grizzlies’ lead safe. Then in
the second quarter, Samuelson and Winnie Roberson
got red-hot, scoring 16 points in five minutes. From
there on the boys from Bend were never in the ball
game.
