SIX-The Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday December 14, 1978 lone B-team edges past Riverside Cards outgunned by North Powder PfTf By Janet McElligott The Cardinal hoop squad is beginning to feel the effects of their winning football season, said lone Head Coach Del LaRue. "We had to come down from two weeks ago. Everyone has been really mentally tough for so long. We had to be so high so long," explained LaRue. The Cards had an all-around poor night Saturday. Not one player was "hot." It was a "total disaster night" for the Redbirds, LaRue said. lone varsity fell to North Powder 80-41. The Badgers must have been seeking re venge for the two losses they suffered to the lone football team. "We lacked concentration," admitted Coach LaRue. "We were all really loose, but nothing fell. " The Cards shot a 29 per cent field goal average to North Powder's 44 per cent. "That's a good percentage for A high school team," LaRue said. lone had only one man in double figures, a far cry from the 4 men of last week's play. Kevin McCabe led the scoring charge for the Cards with 14, followed by three men with six, Dennis Stefani, Daniel McElligott and Gregg Riet- man. Robin LaRue pegged 4, while Glen Krebs and Shawn LaRue added 2 each and Leslie Thompson brought up the rear with 1. The night was not all lost for the Cards. They out-rebounded their opponents 34-32. The lone boys weren't the only one's that suffered at the hands of the North Powder players, as the girls fell 58-22. "North Powder has a tall, quick, good ball-handling club," said lone Coach Martha Doherty. "We played real good ball the first quarter and pretty good ball the second quarter, but we lost our sharpness in the third quar ter," said the lone coach. "We were out-rebounded," said the Coach, "but consider ing the height disadvantage, I really think we did a good job under the boards." "We went up against one of the best," said Coach Doherty. "The whole team did a good job, it was one of our better efforts." The Cards shot a 62.5 per cent average from the free throw line, compared with North Powder's 52.6 per cent. One of the North Powder girls had an extremely good night, as she scored a total of 25 points 23 for her team and 2 for the Cards by mistake. Michelle McElligott led the lone scoring attack with seven points, followed by Martha McElligott and Anita Palmer with four each. Janet McElli gott and Lori Edwards each had two, and Sandra Thomp son ended the scoring with one point. Last Tuesday, the Cardinal ettes squeaked by Riverside, making the team one-and-one for the week. "I think that we were well J' matched with height and experience," said Coach Martha Doherty of the River side game. "It was a real rough game, and especially under the boards. Although the Pirates went into the locker room with a 16-13 lead, the Cards soon erased that with the good playing in the third and fourth quarters. The Pirates dropped the game to the Cards in the final quarter, as they saw their lead steadily falling away. The Cards overcame the one-sided scoring and pulled a 24-23 victory out that night. Karen Harding was the top scorer of the game as she led Riverside with 14 points, Martha McElligott followed with 7 for the Cards. Diann Morter scored 4, followed by Michelle McElligott and Lori Edwards with 3 each, Anita Palmer and Shelley Connor, each with 2, and Michelle LaRue with 1 for the Cards. Kathy Farlow had 6 for the Pirates, and Jyl Hobbs scored 2 and Christy Brandt had 1. The girl cagers shot poorly from the gift line, but that's where they won the game. The Cards showed poorly with 4 of 14, but the Pirates shot only 1 out of 12. Both teams had the same number of turnovers, and the Cards out-rebounded . their opponents 51-44. "I'm glad we won," said Coach Doherty. Ione's junior high "B" team held on to a narrow lead in the closing moments of the fourth quarter to post a 28-26 win over Riverside during a road trip to Boardman last Thurs day. "It was a close game all the way just back and forth," said lone coach Bob Deeter. Darrin Padberg was high, point man for the lone B team, with 10 points.. Jeff Key was responsible for six points, and Steve Millman scored four. In lone A team junior high action, the junior Cardinals lost to Riverside by a 40-26 margin. Riverside maintained a fairly comfortable 10-point cushion over lone throughout most of the contest, according to Deeter. "But it was still a pretty good ball game," he said. "We played pretty well." Denny Starr topped the scoring column for the junior Cards with 12 points, followed by Roger Morter and Don Taylor with four points apiece. Junior high level basketball action will continue today, when lone travels to Stanfield. Pssstt....Here's some nifty gift ideas from Darryl Bigelow sinks fast-break lay-in during tournament action against Umatilla in Condon-last week. Bigelow was good for seven points in the contest. Mustang frosh best lone, Helix -fir . J i 5 T"" Mustang senior Mike Stookey drives for a field goal, ignoring Umatilla defenders.
