SITKA HIGH WINS
 LIONS TOURNAMENT
by Gil Fruit

o4AC VI t44C S4SoL od4 a4AOA basketball ithrills of the young season came at the Edgecumlbe field house Saturday night when the Sitka high school Wolves posted a narrow 45-40 triumph over EdgecumIbe in the finals of the Lions Annu- al Preseason Tournament.
 A headline thriller from the opening gun and right down to the bitter end, the ti- tie game unfolded before an overflow crowd tha. rocked the mmmoth Edgecurnbe en- closure on every play. Compar ed to Thursday nights game in the opening round, the title game, from a spectator ssand- point, was a good one to watch
 The Sitka quint passed it's stiffest test of the early sea son as it repeatedly came from behind to beat the cross-toWn rival in real thriller tha. had all the ear marks of true championship battle. Plucking the tourney plum for the first time in history, the Wolves looked sharp and showed they will have to be reckoned with when conference play gets underway.
 The final count of 45-4O is misleading as the five point spread posted iby Sitka in the closing seconds, represen. ed the largest gap between the two teams. Up until the final whistle, Edgecuanbe held the biggest lead a four point margin late in the final quar- ter.
 The ItItle match failed to pro- duce a single standout but show ed instead too well-balanced teams operating smoothly as a unit.
 Edgecumbe moved into an I 8-6 lead at the end of the first l quarter through the combined efforts of Charlie Moses and Jeff Trenton who s, formed the hoop with 4 points each. Terry Nelson kept the Sitkans alive with 4 while Norman Wood tipped in a field goal from un- der the bucket.
 1 A second quarter see-saw donneybrook saw the Wolves storm back to take a half time lead, 23-22, soley on great splurge by Nelson who tucked in 9 points on ? field goals and I5 points from the free throw line. Jerry Smith, who ended the nights work with 8 points tallied 4 in this quarter while Gary Paxton and Bill Fred rickson rounded out the Sitka scoring with 2 each. George Guthrie, Trenton and Moses were good for 4 each in the Edgecunbe cause. Billy Osbi- koff had 2.
 S1,ha was out in front. 35- 22, at the end of the third but it was short-lived as the Edge cumbe quint came racing back to take a 40-36 lead in the late stages of the final frame. Dick Boettcher, who replaced Smith of Sitka, put the Wolves back in the ball game win 2 dam aging points from the foul line and added ? more on a rally ing lay-in.
 Sitka led 41-40 and upped it to 43-40 moments later Guth erie seemingly put Edgecumbe back in business but his field goal from under .he bucket (continued on page thgee)
