Echo scooted the ball down
the court and got off a shot
that hit the backboard but

56-54 win.
"We struggled the
whole gam e,” said Coach
D ennis Stefani. “ I think
the lack o f practice (due
to weather conditions) and
overlooking Echo a bit al­
most came back to bite us.”
He did find a silver lining in
the tight win though. “ We
have had trouble with close
games this season so it was
good to come through in the
clutch. It was an important
win we had to have.”
Alan Rietmann led

SELLING PARENT’S HOME
It’s not an easy task to
straighten out the affairs o f a
single parent who has died.
Paperwork and forms are one
thing, but how do you go
about selling the home if it's
located quite a distance away?
Once the house is emptied of
furniture, you’ll have to be
concerned with its security and
maintenance. In this situation
there is only one logical route
to take. List it with a local
agency and let them take the
problems off your back.
For security and mainte­
nance reasons, time is usu-
™
ally o f the essence. You may
wish to offer the property at
a competitive price to ensure
a speedy sale. Still, it does
take time to sell a home at any
price. A suggestion would be
to find an agency who will
offer you combined services
o f "manager" and “marketer.”
The agency would be selling
the property, and, at the same
time, check the house on a
regular basis to be sure it is
well maintained and secured.
I can work out arrangements
o f this type.

“RJ and Gunner had
great overall gam es with
points, steals, rebounds and

Swanson. “Playing som e­
tim es com pletely out o f
control and sometimes as
perfect as you can, it was
still a fun game to watch.”
He was pleased that the
team put up 52 points on

combined for 39 rebounds.
“I was very happy with the
effort.” said Swanson.
