Our Best Wishes for the
"Battle of Morrow County"
We doubt that by the time this gets into print
there will be anybody left in this section of Mor
row county to read it they'll all be watching their
respective basketball teams perform at Salem
but we extend our congratulations to be team
members and the coaches of both lone and Hepp
ner high schools for a really hang up job of show
ing the rest of the state how basketball should be
plaved. To say the least, it is most unusual for
two teams from the same county to have the np
oppotlunily to play in the sla'e tournament, but it
has happened this year. To them both, we wish
the best of luck.
This newspaper normally doesn't do much
editorial fence-straddling, but this is one time
we're coin:' to stay in Hie middle we value our
present friendships in both lone and Heppner and
we can't think of a quicker way to lose them than
to pick one side or the other for a pat on the back.
We hereby pat 'em both and extend our hopes that

wore a little slow starting, they came a long way
.since their first game.
One thing we can be thankful for anyway, is
that basketball games can't end in a tie. If our
two county teams should wind up in the finals, one
of them is going lo be the winner. If it could and
should happen to end in a tie, the people of Hepp

team was the best.
