MONARCHS WIN
58-37 VICTORY
OVER REDWOOD
Ball Handling Principal
Difference Between Teams; /;
Tiger Reserves Winners

Marysville high school defeated
Redwood high, So to 81, in Mid
State League game on the Rich
wood high floor Friday night.
Redwood Reserves, however turn
ed the tables on Marysville Reser-
yes and turned in hard-earned 28
to % victory
The Varsity game was a nip
and-tuck affair during the first
half, and especially the second per-
iod, but the Monarchs from Marys-
vile gradually forged ahead in the
third and fourth quarters to win
by a comfortable margin.
The two teams appeared about
even in heighth and speed, but
MarySville exhibited somewhat the
better ball handling, and this was
the principal difference between
them. The Tigers repeatedly threw
the ball away, or had it intercepted
under the basket, whereas the
MonarChs lost control of it on rela-
lively few occasions through loose
handling.
Marysville Improving
Marysville is showing definite
improvement as the season pro-
crosses, and has promise of becom-
ing steady, hard-playing combi-
nation. The Monarchs are more
sure of them selves than they were
couple of weeks back, and play
with more calm and poiSe.
Redwood, although hard-hit by
graduation last June, has a
smoothly-functioning, we'll coached
team. The Tigers had a very hard
game with Magnetic Springs, Tu-
eSday night, and this may have had
some bearing on the final outcome.
After a good first-half showing,
the nOrth-enderS could not con-
tinue the rapid pace the second
half like they might have if they
had had more time to recuperate
from their previous encounter.
The game opened at a rapid
pace, with Forwards Frank Diehl
and Junior Grimes pouring the ball
in for Marysville from most every
angle. In short time, the county
seat team was in front II to four,
but by the end of the first quarter,
the margin had narrowed and the
periond ended with Marysville in
front, Is to 8.
Wall Leads For Redwood
During the second quarter Rich
wood, led by the very capable
Nick Wall, began amasSing points
and at one time during the period
went into the lead for a short time.
Wall personally accounted for 13
of his teams points in that period.
Marysville recovered, however, and
the half ended with the Monarchs
in front, % to 25.
Redwood was unable to keep
up their first half pace very far
into the second half, and the third
quarter ended with Marysville on
the long end of AZ to 80 margin.
The final period was all the Mon
archs', with MarySville getting 16
points to five for Redwood.
Wall, a woodworking, dead
shot artist was high scorer of the
evening with % points, getting IL
baskets from the field and one
from the free-throW line. Leo Rob
inson had a big time the final
period, getting five baskets to run
his point total for the evening to
l8 for MarySville. The Monarch
scoring, however, was very well
divided, with each boy contribut-
ing his share toward the final.
Reserve Game
The Reserve game was a closely
contested affair until the closing
scored three quick baskets to ice
moments, when the Tiger cubs
