Sank Centre 2O-Fergus Falls 10
The Sank Centre team had
chance to show it's wares in the first
game of the evening series. Fergus
Falls furnished the local boys with
plenty of opposition, but at no time
in the game was Sank Centre forced
to exert themselves. The score 20 to
10, indicates the difference between
the two aggregations.
Fergus got the jump on the boys,
and they started off with whirling
offense. Nelson and Wilcox stopped
this and it wasn't long before Mac
Dermond dropped in his first tally.
This was FLOWED by a neat shot by
Brown. MacDermond then increased
the lead to 6 to 2, and the quarter
ended. The half showed Sank Centre
away ahead, taking advantage of their
position Is to 6. The Fergus de-
tense was completely riddled by the
fast floor work of Brown and Moyni-
han. MacDermond was the star of
the game, and his accurate shooting
gave the local fans plenty to cheer
about.
The second half was uneventful
The Sank Centre team was sent in
with the instructions to take it easy,
and they certainly did just that. The
game ended 20 to 10, with the "Main
Streeters" in absolute control of the
situation. At any time the forwards
saw fit to score it was an easy matter
to do so. This game gave Coach Kas.
lows boys plenty of confidence to
tackle their opponents on Saturday.
Just previous to the tournament Osa-
kis had hard job defeating Fergus.
The Fergus Falls boys are all
fine sports, and played hard through
out the entire contest. They failed to
get the exact location of the hoop,
and were easily out classed by their
much smaller opponents.
All of the Sank Centre players
acquitted themselves with much cred
it. Especially strong was their Of
tense. Very few passes got past viii
cox and Nelson. The Brown-Moyni-
han-MacDermond trio were an inter
estting combination, and they worked
smoothly, and accurately.
Pierson for MacDermond, did
some good work during the fourth
| quarter.
Long Prairie Osakis % to Is
This game started out very slow
neither side was able to score until
| five minutes of time had been used.
Then Lewis got lively and dropped in
long one, Belknap followed up with
another. The quarted ended 5 to 2,
Westphal scored for Long Prairie.
Olson and Belknap worked good to-
gether and brought the Osakis score
up to 16 at the end of the half. The
Long Prairie team soon started it's
squirt and increased their score by
several baskets. When the score
stood IS to 16, Coach Oman sent
Clifford back in, and from then on
Long Prairie was out of it. The o.
son-C lifford-Belknap combination was
in perfect working harmony. The
Osakis team ran up to % and Long
Prairie tally stayed at Is. 1t was a
hard fought struggle and it took much
out of the Osakis team. 1t weakened
them perceptibly for the evening
game, Olson and Clifford on defense,
Belknap and Lewis on offense were
the outstanding features of the Osa-
kis playing, Wetphal was the "big
man" on the Long Prairie squad.
