Wildcats rallied to regain the lead and
were leading 21-16; with but 5 min
utes to go. Hogan, Williston center,
then started a drive on the Plenty
wood basket and together with Pond
accounted for enough rebound shots
to put the Coyotes ahead. Koike then
touled out and was replaced by Chris
Hansen and later Kjelstrup.
Plentywood had several chances to
score but were unable to hit the hoop.
The final gun found the Wildcats
hammering at the Williston but time
was too short. We hope to match
these two teams here in January if
possible.
Those who played for brentwood
were: Zeidler, HOLMAN. Koike, Rob-
inson, Lund, Christensen and KEEL
strup. The boys returned from their
two game trip well pleased with the
fine treatment and sportsmanship dis
played by both their host towns, Viii
liston and Crosby.
Team Loses At Crosby
A tired but determined Plentywood
basket ball team took the floor
against an inspired Crosby quint Sat-
urday night and played them on even
terms for three quarters.
Opening the fourth quarter with q
vicious attack and heart breaking
pace the Crosby Maroor.s gradually
forged ahead as the Wildcats worked
doggedly to stop the rally. But the
pace was too hot for a team that had
given everything the night before
against a speedy Wiliston team.
The final gun found the Maroons
leading 20 to IS, but the fans gave
both teams a big hand for the hashy
and hard fought game that marked
most of the way. Crosby started the
scoring with a free throw and a pivot
shot to lead by a 80 score early in
the game, but Helgeson and HOLMAN
retaliated with two field goals and a
free throw to put the Cats ahead So
in the middle of the quarter. Monson,
Crosby pivot shot artist, scored an
other as the quarter ended to tie tn,
score at SIS. The second quarter was
equally hard fought with both teams
attempting fast breaks and Crosby
getting a little the better of it. How
ever the Wildcats Escorted to set shots
and the game at nalf time was again
tied at 1910.
Plentywood opened the second hall
by scoring on a tip off play, Helgeson
to Zeidler, and this tore the lid off.
For the next 8 minutes Crosby fans
were treated to an exhibition of Sire
department basketball such as has
not been seen for some time. The
score late in the third quarter was
again tied at 1918 when Helgeson
swished one through from we'll back
of center, but the speed was begin
ming to tell on the Plentywood boys
as Crosby forged ahead % to IS at
the end of the third quarter. Up to
this time Koike had been able to hold
Monson, Crosby center, well in check.
At the fourth quarter, Monsoon got
"hot" and scored three seemingly i'm
possible shots to put his team well in
the leadu This was truly a game of
fast break ball as both teams en-
ployed speed in their attempts to score.
Buck and Joyce Of Crosby are fast
but were matched for three quarters
by Zeidler, HOLMAN and Helgeson.
kolke, after playing against Hogan,
Williston ace, again drew the tough"
man when Monson developed into
Crosby's best scorer. These two teams
are matched again at Plentywood Fri
day, Dec. 20.
