Tuesday night the Redbirds outshot, oulscored, outrebounded and simply outplayed the bigger Class A, previously undefeat ed Condon Bluedevils (who have downed Heppner, Arling ton and other promising teams). After their two defeats suffered over the weekend, the Cards seemed red-hot and ready for the 66-59 win over Condon. "The thing that won the game for us was simply good man-to-man defense," said lone Coach Del LaRue. "We'd been playing zone before and we just really put the pressure on them tonight," he said. The Cards outscored the Bluedevils in all but the last quarter, where Condon out scored the Cards 22-14. "They came back good," said the coach: "They had me a little worried," he admitted. Kevin McCabe scored 20 points. Dennis Stefani 14, Robin LaRue 12, Danny Mc Elligott 7 and Gregg Riet mann 8, in a game in which LaRue said his team had, "a good balance in scoring."

Friday night and Saturday night were not nearly as successful for the Redbirds. Although the Cards dropped both of their games the game play improved drastically from Friday to Saturday, according to Coach LaRue. That improvement must have carried over to the Tuesday night win also. "We relazed a lot between the two games," said the Coach, "and played the game just that much better. Friday night (the game was won by the Heppner Mustangs.) we weren't relaxing at all." Robin LaRue lead the Cards with 10 points, followed by Kevin McCabe with 8.
