"We pulled away in the fourth quarter," said lone Coach Del LaRue. lone scored 24 of its 74 points in that decisive fourth quarter. Uma pine scored only 16 points in the fourth, ending the Chief's scoring at 62 points. The "Dynamic Duo" of Dennis Stefani, who scored 22 and Kevin McCabe, who scored 16, led the Cards in a high-powered offensive attack against the Chiefs. McCabe was also the leading rebound er, pulling down 13 from the boards. Danny McElligott and Robin LaRue were close behind with 10 points each and LaRue having 10 rebounds. Gregg Rietmann barely missed being in double figures with eight. Shawn LaRue had four. Mark Patton three and Glen Krebs one. "We shot 44 per cent from the floor," said LaRue, "and that's better than we've done before." "I think a big edge was the rebounding," the coach stated. lone grabbed 54 caroms to a scant 33 showing by the Chiefs. Jeff Tucholke came through with 21 points for Umapine. Saturday night the Cards traveled to Dufur and seemed to have left their luck behind. With a 1:28 left in the ballgame, the Cards were behind by one when they started to foul. A few quick foul shots and the Cards didn't have much of a chance. They fought back but just couldn't erase the Ranger lead that had haunted them the full game. "It was a good ballgame anyway," said the coach. "We could get close," LaRue said, "but we could never quite get the lead." Coach LaRue was the first on to give Dufur praise, "They shot real well. It's hard to beat 52 per cent when youre shooting only 31 per cent." Several times in the dura tion of the game the Cards were behind as many as 11 points. At least four times they were as close as three and once as close as one, but as Coach LaRue said, "we were playing catch-un " Dufur had a player that LaRue termed a good shooter. Jeff Reed had a total of 22 points to lead his team to victory. Kerry Fagerberg was close behind with 12 and was his team's top rebounder. For lone the Stefani McCabe duo scored 14 and 15 respectively. They were fol lowed by Robin LaRue with 8 and Danny McElligott. Shawn LaRue and Gregg Rietmann rounded out the score with 4 a piece. Friday night the lone JV boys rolled over Riverside's young team, 47-18. Coach Tom Forsythe said of his team, "We had a lot of balanced scoring, but we still fouled a lot." Mark Patton led his team in scoring with nine points. Saturday, the JV team was overwhelmed by the Dufur squad 62-37. Forsythe said it was difficult playing because "three of my starters fouled out." Both teams travel to Halix on Friday and are at home Saturday battling Wheeler.

The only thing that wasn't even was the scoring, which showed the lone team coming out on top, 16-13. "It wasn't an offensive show. It was a defensive one," she says. "Both teams played good defense. They only put the ball up 35 times and we put it up 38 times. "All five of my starters did a real good job of shutting off their shooters," Coach Doherty said of her starting squad of Martha, Michelle and Janet McElligott, Lori Edwards and Michelle LaRue. Both teams seemed to run in slow motion throughout the game. Each team had players out with the flu and several playing, who were recovering. The real difference in the game was that "we forced them from running their offense, so they shot all outside shots." The lone girls held Durur's "hot-shot" Nikki Reed to only 8 points, 4 of those coming in the last 20 seconds of the game, when the lone players were instructed not to foul. lone found balanced scoring in Michelle McElligott who led her team with 6, followed by Janet McElligott and Michelle LaRue both with 4 and Martha McElligott who rounded out the scoring with 2. Michelle LaRue and Janet McElligott combined for more than half of Ione's total rebounds with 8 and 7, respectively. Michelle and Martha helped out Dufur's turnover situation with three steals each to their credit. The lone teams will travel to Helix Friday, and be at home Saturday. The games com mence at 4 p.m., with the girls' action to start first. AT YOUR DOWNTOWN HEPPNER MERCHANTS The i Fates Have Dealt You A Lucky Hand! Just Grab Your Scissors And Save! ootoitMsorW...'
