Kounswick 23-Grandvisw ~
Last Friday night, in the Grand
view Greyhounds' gym, the Ken
newick Lions dropped their last
league game by a score of 27-23,
to an inspired Grandview team,
that racked up Is points in the
first quarter, holding the Lions
to Z counters. The Grandview
boys were playing for keeps, as
they had to win this game, in Or
der to remain on the eligible list
for tournament play at Wapato
this week end. However, Prosser
defeated Richland on the same
night and therefore a playof be-
tween Grandview and Prosser
will be necessary, to decide the
fourth team to attend the tour
nament from the Lower Yakima
Valley. But to come back to the
game: The Greyhounds started
out Immediately in the scoring
with baskets by Casper, Hoon and
2 apiece by Bowler and Curran.
The Lions seven points were
gathered from a corner shot by
Wyatt, free shrow by Black
man and two buckets by Green.
Coach McGuinness changed COM
binations early in the second
quarter, substituting Sloan and
Perkins for Sitter and Polling,
using this combination turnout
the balance of the game. This
was a good move, at the time, as
the score was soon tied being Is
