ket by Buchanan and a well-exe-
cuted play with Strankman scor-
ing put the Vikings ahead 3o-75.
Enumclaw closed the mar
gin but the vikings hung
grimly 20 their guns. A sleep

the tussle.
II was not a brilliant display Of
basketball but the fans loved II.
They had played the game for 81
minutes just as intentiy as the

Puyallup fans shouted all the way
home: we won. we won. We won.
by golly, we won.'
