Mail Tribune Sports Editor
McArthur Court, University
of Oregon, Eugene - Medford
High school's Black Tornado,
bearing proudly and awesome
ly the standard of defending
champion, moved into the
quarterfinals of the Oregon
Class A-l prep basketball tour
nament by whirlwinding to
the most decisive triumph of
the opening round.
One of the most impressive
teams to take the floor as 16
aggregations from eight dis- j
tricts debuted in this 43rd an
nual sports classic, the rip
roaring Tornado from the
Rogue Valley swamped the
Tillamook Chccsemakers 65
to 32 here Wednesday after
noon. Tillamook jolted the Big
f Wind with the game's opening
thunder but Medford flared
up in stern retaliation before
the first quarter was far gone
and romped into complete
charge with a 22-point second
session. A solid and blazing
team effort got the victory
job done but it was big 6-4
Bob Quinney, an all-state se
lection, sparking the way. He
scored 27 points, picked off
19 rebounds, helped set up
his mates for scores and time
and again broke with the ball
from the melee under the
hoop to assure that Medford
would retain possession.
Rebounding Support
Quinney had strong re
bounding support from Stan
Dowson, Steve Hoots and Dick
Ragsdale. Jim Barry and Rags-
dale, and also Dowson, were
Chcesemaker anihilators with
their ballhawkings and steals
and Bruce Bray gave the Hur
ricane some rugged strength.
The verdict sends Coach
Frank Rollandt's Medfords
against South Salem at 7:30
o'clock tonight in the quarter
final round. Tillamook met
Bend this morning in the con
solation bracket. A fast, quick
South Salem quint, with the
sharpest shooting effort of the
tourney's first round, over
came Bend's Lava Bears 68
to 57 in the fray that followed
Medford - Tillamook conten
tion. Hoots Scores
Tillamook's jolt was a full-
court press which enabled the
Cheesemakers to grab with
surprising suddenness a 6 to
0 jump on Medford. Leon
Thompson put in two gift
tosses for the 'Mooks when
the scrape was 10 seconds old.
Wayne Hill goale:! off a swipe
from the press anr! this de
'ensc pave Tillemook the Nill
frr another buc'tet that Alex
U'-f??-; honked thrrugh.
With the game a minute
along, Hoots put in a jumper
from the side for Medford.
Quinney added two free toss
es. Mark Sather dunked a
reboundcr for the coast club
and the count was 8 to 4. Then
Quinney's jumper from the
circle was countered on Hof
fert's fast break shot off a
swipe. Hoots plunked a Tor
nado rebound and Quinney
swished a pusher from t h e
baseline to knot the score at
IKQUNOES
10-all witli 3:19 left in the
quarter.
Dowson's push from the
side on Ragsdale's assist and
another Dowson bucket from
a Quinney feed took the count
to 14 to 10, Medford. Thomp
son hit from the corner and
Hoffert got a tip-in for 14
each with 30 seconds left.
Ragsdale's free cast made it
15 to 14, Medford, at the quarter.
Medford's fast - running
gang streaked away like light
ning in the second panel and
coach Tony Dooher's Cheese
makers were not again in con
tention. Quinney led off the
period with a jumper and a
rebound basket. Barry, a pes
ky thorn in Tillamook's side,
stole the ball twice at this
stage and drove for layups.
Ragsdale tallied off a fast
break he, himself, had started
by retrieving a loose ball.
Medford headed 25 to 14.
Three More
Quinney got three more
field buckets and two free
shots in the quarter. Barry
sank his own rebound and
Scott Eaton drove the base
for a goal as Medford ran to
a 37 to 19 halfway margin.
Thompson on a fader and Sa
ther on a rebound hit from
the field and Sather collected
a free toss in a meager five
point quarter for the District
4 champions.
The Tornados from District
6 continued in charge to ex
tend to 54 to 26 by the third
intermission. Although scor
ing pace slowed in the early
fourth stanza, Medford
stretched to a 34 point differ
ence of 64 to 30 for its widest
gap.
