II Page 6 t Tournsment summery? Heppner, Ore., Gazette-Times, Thursday, Mar. 14, 1974 Wasco wins the tee but not trip Is it possible to be the District 7 basketball cham pions and still not qualify for the state tournament? Apparently so, for after the smoke had cleared away from last weekend's district event the Wasco County Redsides came out champions, but the Tigers and Scots from Weston McEwen will be representing the Columbia Basin Confer ence at the state tourney. The action started Thursday night with fairly predictable results when Weston-McEwen took a 54-42 victory over the Blue Devils from Condon, and Wasco outpointed the Vikings from Umatilla 49-10. The Tigers and Scots built up a small lead in the first and third quarters to take a comfortable victory into Fri day night's championship game. Villanueva led the way for the victors with 18 followed by Lieuallen. who added 14 more. The Blue Devils had Lantis with 16 and Shearer with 12. The Wasco County Redsides gained their victory after coming on in the second half to outscore the hapless Vikings and enter the finals against Weston-McEwen. The Vikings almost pulled the victory out of Wasco's hands in the fourth quarter as they came within five several times before dropping back to the final tally. Leading the Redsides was DeClue with 15 and Paulson with 12. The Vikings were lead by Lafferty with 12 and Armstrong netted 10. Friday night's consolation game found Condon scram bling back after a third quarter deficit to take the districts third place honors. The Blue Devils jumped off toa quick lead in the game but only sharp shooting the fourth period saved the day for Condon as the final buzzer found the score 63-56. Greg Sbfianer topped the Blue DevMS with 20 while the fourth place Vikings were led by Stephans with 14. The district cnampionship was on the line Friday night when the Wasco County team came on strong the second half to beat the league leading Tigers and Scots in a low scoring game 44-39. A Weston-McEwen two-point half time lead was reversed in the third period and the last period found the Redsides in pulling slightly ahead to clinch the title. The champion Red sides were led by Paulson who bucketed 16 and McCorkle, 10. The Tigers and Scots were paced by Villanueva who gathered 11 points; T. Mein hart and D. Beamer each added 10. But the Wasco victory was shortlived as the Saturday afternoon repeat match to decide which team would go to state turned out grim for the champion Redsides. The Tigers and Scots were able to find all that was missing the night before and score a handv victory, 5M2. A halftime lead was stretched through the third period leaving the Red sides too far behind to regain the win. Villanueva once again led the Tigers and Scots with 17 points followed by Lieuallen with 12. The Redsides followed the lead of Jerry Paulson who netted 11, Barnett added 10. The third place Condon took home both the top rally squad trophy and the sportsmanship award as the tournament came to a close to wait for next vear.
