SPORTS
Long Prairie scored one Of the
biggest upsets in their basketball
and Sank Centre basketball histor-
les when they beat the local high
school team 80 to 30 last Friday
night. All the odds were against
them and they came into the game
as the only once undefeated under
dogs. Sank Centre was reputed to
have a team good enough to win
with ease from the invaders from
the north; and maybe that had
something to do with it. Although
Alexandria did beat Sank Centre It
is evident that Alex beat Sank Gen.
ire in the first half but not in the
last half of the game. They so COM
pletely outclassed the Main Street
ers that they were able to pile up
score sizeable enough to ascertain a
win. With the score 18 to against
Sank Centre at the half Alexandria
was held to only 8 points from then
on, while Sank Centre made 10. Up
to the Alex game in District % rat
ings Alex is rated fourth place and
Sank Centre ninth, while Henning
and Bertha have first and second
respectively.
When Robert Rydholm was lost
to the team Jim Pangburn was
found, so to speak. He played a
great part of the Alex game and
displayed a defensive and offensive
ability which will be very useful to
the games from now on. In the Alex
game Sank Centre used nine play
ers while Alex used eight, so they
cannot say that it was an easy
game, as their coach did say of the
Alex-St. Cloud Tech game which
Alex won 26 to "a. Melrose who has
"Ou CiSAI oul VI ICL EoAiiCo Wco
beaten badly at Paynesville. Bertha
again has a very strong team; they
beat Parkers Prairie who had al
ready beaten Alexandria. Brandon
will be very top contender in the
district before the tournament be-
gins. Glenwood is always team to
watch although their strength is
not heralded.
We are now at the halfway point
of our season having played eight
games and with eight games left
before the tournament. We have
won 2 games and lost 6. Opponents
have scored 166 points against us;
and we have scored 139; a differ
ence of 81 which is very low consid-
ering the six games lost showing a
low score by which each team has
beat us. In the 2 games won, we
beat the opponents by a total of II
points for an average of 8.5 margin
each game. In the games lost we
have been defeated by total of %
points, or a At winning margin for
each game. Our team has scored
TIA points per game; the oppon-
ents have scored POT points per
game. Therefore we have been out
played by only 3.3 points in each
game.
The District % basketball tourna-
ment will again be held at Alexan-
dria giving them a slight advan-
tage, which will not help them as
much as they expect it to, believe.
Crosby-Ironton is about the strong
est team in the state so far. No one
Minneapolis high school is out
standing and Edison who was so
strong last year probably will not
get past this District or Regional
tourney.
