High School Squad
Lowers Morale of
Townie Quintet
Coach Leonard Pate's hopes for
an outstanding basketball team this
season zoomed skyward Tuesday
evening when his 1945-46 squad
lowered the morale of the Heppner
Townies to the tune of 22-15. The
game, played on the school gymna
sium floor, was a torrid affair, ac
cording to reports of spectators,
and have ample opportunity for
both coach and spectators to see
what has been developed in the way
of competition for the casaba court
season which opens Friday evening
with a game with Condon there.
The Pate system clicked happily
for the school lads the first three
quarters, with the score standing 18
to 4 in their favor after the fourth
quarter started. By that time the
Townies had gained their second
wind and set about to defend their
honor in a grand manner. They
succeeded in running their score to
15 while the high schoolers added
four more points, making the final
score of 22 to 15.
The Townies are scheduled to
meet a similar squad from Echo
at the local gymnasium this evening.
