Shearer Sparks Oakridge
Hoop Triumph Over Crater
Central Point An early
fourth quarter surge, sparked by
John Shearer, enabled the Oak
ridge Warriors to turn back the
Crater high basketball quint 55
to 52 here Saturday night. It
was the second straight win for
the Warriors over" the Comets
but the Saturday night ruckus
found the Crater gang greatly
improved over Friday when it
dropped a 38 to 30 verdict to the
visitors.
The Saturday battle started in
rather dull fashion but in the
second quarter it turned into a
torrid scrap and stayed that way
until the Warriors pulled to a
nine-point lead in the final canto.
Lead in the conflict changed
hands five times in the second
quarter and three in the third.
Oakridge, aided by Wayne
Clark's eight counters, got a 15
to 8 jump in the first quarter
but Kay Kelley got two free
Phoenix Raps
Yreka 44-23
Phoenix Phoenix high got a
big jump on the Yreka, Calif.,

to 23 win Saturday night at
Yreka.
The Califofnians started out
with a man to man defense and
the Pirates quickly got a 12 to
1 advantage. Yreka switched
to a zone slowing down the ac
tion and at the quarter the
Phoenix lead was 14 to 6.
Phoenix headed 19 to 12 at
the half and 29 to 19 after three
quarters then roared out in the
concluding canto. Yreka made
only five field goals in the fracas
and collected 13 points on free
shots. Ron Dahl, non-starter for
the Pirates, looked good in his
ball-hawking, shooting and feed
ing. The Yreka lightweights over
powered the Phoenix junior var
sity 62 to 20.
Phoenix has its first home
game Friday, entertaining Jack

rowed it to 16 to 13 at the quar
ter. Fray Tied Up
In the second period the
Comets tied up the fray 16-all
on a free toss by Donn Johnson
and two by Tonn. Jim Higin
botham followed with another
throw from the foul line for 17
to 16, the Comet's first lead.
Higinbotham hit from the field
for 19 to 16. He poked in another
while Clark, Shearer and Arnold
Lambert were connecting for the
Warriors who went in front 22
to 21. Tonn came through to
make it 23 to 22 for Crater.
Clark fieldered for a 24 to' 23
Oakridge edge but Tonn coun
tered to make it 25 to 24 for
Crater. With nine seconds left
in the half Len Tirrill hit for
26 to 25 for the Warriors but
with five seconds to go Gordon
Tidwell pumped in a jump shot
and Crater had a 27 to 26 mid
way lead.
Higinbotham pushed the Com
et margin to 29 to 26 at the start
of second half. Then Shearer
and Tirrill combined from the
field for a. 30 to 29 Oakridge
lead. Kelley put the Comets
back on top with two free shots
then buckets from the field by
Tonn . and Higinbotham while
Tirrill cashed in from the free
line for Oakridge got Crater a
35 to 31 spread, its widest of the
night.
Three more free shots by Tonn
rounded out Comet scoring for
the quarter while Shearer got
six points and Bob Dunning
two to give the Warriors 39 to
38 command at the end of the
third quarter. Shearer made the
goal that put Oakridge on top
for good as Higinbotham com
mitted his fourth foul. Higin
botham was called to sit out for
a while. His absence was dam
aging to the Comets in the final
panel.
Four By Shearer '
Shearer, faking nicely, poured
in four field goals as the War
riors went .ahead 49 to42. Hig
inbotham, back in ' ; halfway
through the quarter, was
charged with his fifth infrac
tion and left for good. Then
Shearer put in a pair of gifters
for 51 to 42, the Warriors' wid
est bulge. The Comets came
back strong at the finish but the
Oakridge lead was too big to
overcome.
The teams fought even on the
backboards, retrieving 30 balls
apiece. Crater improved its
field goal shooting average from
.190 Friday to .321 Saturday but
the free throw mark' dropped
from .824 to .692. Coach Leon
ard Warren said that he was sat
isfied with the Comets in de
feat because of their improve
ment over Friday.
Tonn was high scorer with 24
and Shearer collected 23.
