The Grangeville High School basket
ball team won for itself signal honors
at the North Central Idaho tourna-
ment which was held in Lewiston last
week At this tournament there were
teams representing the high schools Of
Lewiston, Culdesac, Nez Perce, Gif-
ford. and Grangeville. The Grange
vile team, while it did not win the
honors of the tournament made an ex-
cellent showing. In the preliminary
contest our team defeated Nez Perce
with the decisive score of 15 to @.
This was the most decisive score of
the entire tournament. The winning
team was Culdesac. This team played
three games and won all of them by
"a very narrow margin. 1t defeated the
Lewiston team with score Of to6,
Nez Perce with score of % to 20,
and our own team played them to a
tie score, 10 to 10. In playing off the tie
the Culdesac score went to %, and
thus Grangeville lost the tournament.
The work which the boys did, how
ever, was said by the officials to be
the most brilliant OF the tournament
In the second half OF the Culdesac
game the brilliant floor work of Grid
lebaugh and Pettibone, connected with
the wonderful basket shooting OF Pet
tibone enabled the Grangeville team
to make up a lead of points with
which the Culdesac team had ended
the first half. The close guarding of
Basinger and Hanson allowed only one
field goal on the part of the Culdesac
team. If the luck had been with our
team in the beginning the game would
have been won by decisive score and
the cup would have been brought
home by the local team.
One of the officials made the state
ment that if he were selecting an ALI
star team of the tournament he would
place three Grangeville players on it.
The three are Wallace Cridlebaueh
Lee Pettibone and Searel Basnger,
