For the first time in two years
Sidney upended the Midgets from
Dickinson, North Dakota last Fri
day night on the locals floor
So to as. This North Dakota squad
had won the last three times the
two schools met.
Again as has happened so many
times this year Sidney had
trouble the first half. Although
the Eagles led 1912 at the end
of one and 1892 at halftime the
Midgets were very much in the
game.
During the first two minutes
and 20 seconds of the second Pc
Rod Dickinson scored 10 points
while holding the Eagles GORE
less to take a 22-16 lead. Four
minutes later, Sidney regained
the lead $3.50 and were never
headed from then on.
In the third after the score
was tied 35-all at 6:33, the To-
Gals jumped out in front and
continued to increase the margin
up to the final buzzer.. Going into
the fourth the Eagles led 48-41.
In that fourth quarter Sidney
went into their control ball tao
tics in an effort to draw out the
Midget's defense, Coach Roach's
boys refused to press however,
and the game came to a stand
still for three minutes.
During the last half Dickinson
managed only IA points, five in
the final quarter. In spite of it
being a non-conference game it
was a sweet victory for the
Eagles.
The well balanced Eagles again
had four men In the double fig
ures. Leading was Bob Potts with
l6 followed by Jack Marion with
is, Grin Anderson IL and Tom
Quilting 10. Daryl Boom had
Is for the Midgets. The Sidney
defense held high scoring Ray
Burwick to just six points.
The first game Of the. might
was won by the Sidney B team
in overtime over Class c Bainville
80 to 70. Trailing by n point
with five seconds to go substitute
Jim Joslin swished a tan footer
for the winning margin
Bainville had quarter leads of
2l-20, 42-36, 1854 and the two
squads were tied 75-all at the
end of regulation time.
The young Eagles lost four of
their starters in fouls. Substitute
forward Ted Reitz although 60
ing scoreless, spanked the team
in those closing moments with
his scrap. Ron Munoz was out
standing for Sidney and led them
in scoring with 81 points. Close
behind was Dean Williams with
IL WlaAll Liz gu LII tiS 1A1-
