BY BOB HANSON

For a team given little con-
sideration in pre-tournament
calculations, George Washing
ton High did exceptionally well
in finishing as runnerup in the
Virginia State Group I tourney
at Richmond over the week end.
1t was the opinion of most
that Newport News, Washington
Lee or host Thomas Jefferson
would be the champion. That
CIV battled all the way to the
finals is a tribute to Coach Steve
Osisek and a hustling ball club.
OF course. the pairings helped.
The Presidents found themselves
facing sixth-seeded Portsmouth
in the opener, then Danville,
second-seeded in the semifinals.
Westinghouse was faced
with Thomas Jefferson, fifth
seeded, and Newport News, top
seeded, in that order, and it was
too much of a hurdle two nights
in row for the Generals.
Thomas jefferson was a much
tougher club than Danville and
the seedlings of those two teams
as fifth and second, respectively.
was a mistake.
But that post-mortem sum-
narration doesn't detract from
George Washington's perform
ance.
1--WE went further than most
people thought we would" Osisek
said after Saturday nights
championship game. Most of
them didn't give us a ghost OF
q chance"
He went on to say Newport
News had a fine. we'll balanced
team, one that you can't make
mistakes against, and we made
too many"
He added that the rebounding
Of the Typhoon and the all
around play of Bucky Keller,
Slade Dunn and Percy Breeder
made the difference.
All three are over 6 feet. KEEL
Ter. a sophomore, was the out
standing player in the tolrna-
ment. At 6-foot-1, he did a job
on the boards and his % points
in the championship game gave
him a total of Sc for the three
day tourney.
George Washington, which en-
tered the tourney ranked third
extensively with a 67.8 average,
finished with 1872 points as
against 181 for Newport News,
to set tournament record. JEFF
ferson Senior of Roanoke had IT'S
