Blackbourne, Mustang Quint Proves Right To 1960 Oregon B Cage Title By JERRY RKM.MEHS Herald and News Sports Writer The State B Tournament held at Baker produced some exciting moments of top-flight basketball, and the state champion Malin Mustang quint carried away a huge chunk of the honors. Malin placed three players on the All-Star squad more than any other club in the tourney Sophomore guard Larry Rick and forwards Jim Long and Rick Illi an received the selection from the voting coaches. Rick and Long, who each landed on the first team, starred in indi vicinal statistics on both points and rebounds. Rick ended the Ihree- game festivities with 47 points and a 15.7 average. Long tallied 50 counters for a 16.7 median. The two also led the club in rebounds. lllian was the ninth man selected with a 12.3 average on 37 points. Teammates Dave Dc.Mcrritt. Randy Miller and Ed Stastny also contributed their share in boosting the quint to a championship. De- Mcrrilt was brilliant in the first game when he hauled in 17 re bounds and scored 19 points. The 6-foot, 3-inch center was severely handicapped in the third game when a rash of four fouls benched him until the final quarter. He committed his fifth shortly there after. Miller didn't play up to his usual standards, but the senior guard still amazed the fans with his pin point passing, his outstanding learn play and effective screen ing. Stastny was vital to the team filling in for lllian and Dc.Mcrritt when the two ran up a number of fouls in the games. The Mustangs' initial trouncing of Halfway produced a psycholog ical effect on I he rest of the teams. Their 73-47 shellacking handed to the Wolves, the home town prc-tourney favorite sons, caused them to be the talk of the town from Friday on. Their su perb ball handling and shooting outshined the rest of the clubs so much that the fans took the under dog Powers' quint to heart in the championship game. Yet the club gained the respect of every fan and coach in the gymnasium. Afi er all, they played like the best B team in the state and are the champions. Powers' spire of a center, Jim Boutin, was the only player to re ceive a unanimous ballot for All-Star berth. The 6-foot, 5-inch Boutin, who was the tallest play- er, grabbed more rebounds and scored more points than any other boy in the tourney. Pilot Rock's Mike Rohcrls was second in total votes and Rick snared the third highest. The three-game tourney was a smashing financial success. In Thursday's opener, the games pulled in a profit for the first lime in the 25-ycar history for opening games. An estimated 12, 500 fans viewed the 11 game play offs.
