A storming Medford High
school Black Tornado wrote
"finis" to its regular I960
1961 basketball slate with a
whirlwind of brilliance Sat
urday night. And, it will bear
watching, but definitely,
when it goes to Eugene next
week to defend the Oregon
A-l championship it won last
year.
After Saturday, the Med
fords had cause to celebrate.
Filled with a strong de
termination, a resolve not to
be outdone by any other con
ference member, the No. 6
rated Black Tornado function
ed with a solid team effort
and bowled over the Klamath
Union high Pelicans, No. 1
and 2 ranked within the state,
by a rousing, deceive count
of 72 to 56 at Klamath Falls.
In rampaging to its i7th
triumph in 22 games in 1960
61, Medford became the third
team this season to strip the
Pelicans of their feathers. The
Big Wind's victory margin
was the most onesided.
Used Zone Defense
Making a rare use of zone
defense, the Medfords employ
d their fast break with fair
jffensive effectiveness to take
tharge near the start and stay
rn top through the fracas.
And, in the closing moments
ihe Tornadoes were able to
trupt against the KF pressing
defense to win going away
vith easy buckets.
Klamath Falls, three times
winner this year over the
Uedfordiles, rules as confer
mce and District 6 A-l titlist
with its 14-2 standing but the
Hurricane of the Rogue Val
.ey, with 12-4, certainly fin
shed stronger and could look
with bolstered confidence to
ihe tourney at Eugene. Satur
fay's victory was Medford's
iourth straight. Klamath lost
iwo of its last four frays.
Medford will go into slate
lournney action on the after
loon of Wednesday March 15,
igainst Tillamook. The Pel
cans, 19-3 for the season, en
fage St. Helens on the night
jefore. Tillamook is champ of
he Tualatin - Yamhill Valley
eague and St. Helens was
unnerup.
Duinney Has 22
Headed by the scoring of
Bob Quinney and Jim Barry
ind the rebounding of Quin
ley and with Dick Ragsdale,
Stan Dowson and Bruce Bray,
ind Scott Eaton in reserve,
working in a well-knit unit,
;he Tornado had 11 to 9, 30
o 26 and 45 to 38 period ad
rantages. Quinney had 22
joints for Medford and Barry
letted 19 as he put in seven
of seven foul toss tries to run
his free shot streak to 27 with
out a miss. Wally Palmberg
scored 22 for Klamath.
Quinney retrieved the ball
10 times as Medford led in
rebounding 31 to 21. Bruce
Brickner cleared the boards
on eight occassions for the
Pels.
The Tornado outgunned
Klamath from the field 26 to
20 and on average .433 to
.408. Medford put in 20 free
heaves to KF s 16.
For the first time in 12
years a Frank Roelandt-coach-ed
Medford aggregation utiliz
ed zone defense throughout a
game. Roelandt, who gave his
boys the full credit for the
triumph, declared that the
zone was "effective at times"
and "threw them (the Peli
can) off their game." The de
fensive strategy held down
Pel shooting opportunities, for
sure, and the Klamaths did
not hit frrm outside with the
deadly accuracy that they
have in previous games.
Barry Praised
The Tornado held Bruce
Brickner to one goal for three
quarters (He hit four shots in
the fourth). Gary Patzke, who
usually scores well for the KF
club, had only three points
for the night.
Said Roelandt, "The kids
were out there tooth and nail.
They were ready. They got
the confidence they need and
they are ready lo go" (to the
state tournament).
Guard Barry drew special
praise as a "great competitor."
He suffered a turned ankle
in the first half. It was taped
tightly at halftime and Barry
continued in action through
the game. He was slowed but
yet played as "if nothing had
ever happened."
Bray, taking over a starting
role in place of Steve Hoots,
who sprained an ankle in
practice last week, came
through with top performance
on his defensive checking and

Henley Thumps Lakeview High
For District 6 A-2 Gage Toga
Ashland - Henley High's
rampaging Hornets annexed
the District 6 A-2 basketball
crown here Saturday night as
they romped to a 61-32 tri
umph over Lakeview behind a
murderous second half de
fense in the Southern Oregon
college gymnasium.
In winning the District
championship, their first in 22
years, the Hornets nabbed a
berth in the upcoming State
A-2 tournament in Coos Bay,
March 13-14-15.
In the consolation game,
Sutherlin's rangy Bulldogs
downed Glide, 50-36, for third
place.
Henley, hitting at a .268
pace the first half and .361
for the game, was in command
all the way as the snapshoot
ing of Ray Brown and Bob
Chapman paved the way to a
17-7 first quarter advantage.
By halftime, the Hornets had
capitalized on a lightning-like
fast break and used some key
baskets by Bert Allbritton to
pull out to a 26-13 margin.
All Hornets
In the third and final pe
riods it was all Henley, par
ticularly the third. In that
fatal stanza, both the Lake
view offense and defense
crumbled and the Hornets
rolled in 24 points while the
Honkers were managing only
nine.
Allbritton hit 10 of 14 shots
from the field to lead all scor
ers with 22 tallies. He sat out
the entire final period.
Floyd Kendall backed up
Allbritton's high total with a
10-poitrt effort, most from out
side the key, Teammate Kent
Gooding, a 6-7 sophomore
spire, hauled down 17 re
bounds and Allbritton 10, but
the Henley crew was on the
lower end of a 63-53 differ
ence in that department.
Reserve Gary Reynolds top
ped Lakeview scorers with
11 as the Honkers hit from
the field at a chilly .200 pace
the opening half before finish
ing with the same .200 mark.
In the consolation tilt, Suth
erlin's big height advantage
began paying off early in the
second stanza and the Bull
dogs moved out to a 25-19
margin at the half.
But, the short and fighting
Wildcats from Glide never
quit, keeping within five or
six points throughout the en-
tire third period. Sutherlin
was forced to avoid the both
ersome Glide defense by stall
ing out the final minutes.
Jim Foster, high pointer of
the game with 15 points, con
tributed some timely free
throws near the end to ice
the game for the winners.
Ed Hill followed up Foster's
total with 12 counters while
also snagging 15 rebounds.
Teammates Jim Trimmer and
Roger Walling were close be
hind with 13 and 12 snares
respectively as the Bulldogs
held a 47-34 advantage in that
department.
Sutherlin hit nine of 27
field shots the opening half,
then finished with a warm
.400 pace on 22 of 55 shots.
Glide, hitting nine of 28 in
the first two periods, trailed
off to a .263 percentage on
IS of 57.
Ron Policy paced Glide's
attack with 11 points and 10
rebounds.
