SIDNEY 70 GLENDrvE 81
Sidney took the lead on a free
throw by Al Mann last Friday
night and were never headed as
they trounced me Glendive Red
Devils 1857 on the home court.
A combination of terrific hustle,
a tough defense and center Bob
Jensen's "a points was just a little
too much for the Dawson five.
The Eagles had quarter leads
of 24-11, 44-24 and 1898.
Jensen, who made his biggest
point total in his as yet short high
school career played only two and
a half quarters. Many of his points
were made on easy layins but es-
pecially impressive was his i'm
provement on tips. The junior
center scored five field goals on
tip ms alone.
Equally as impressive was the
| performance of senior guard Craig
Price, Craig scored IS points sec
ond high for the locals and his big
gest total of the season. His ag-
gressive play was noticably I'M
proved over previous games.
Other starters, Mann, Gary Nc
Morris and Ron Munoz didn't
score much but their hustle and
defensive play really had Dawson
bottled up. MunoZ did contribute
II points for the night.
Both coaches substituted fire.
quently in the last half. For coach
Kangas il was an excellent chance
to see what his bench could do.
For Joe Stark he was looking for
a combination that would work
against the Eagles. Last Friday
night he couldn't find one.
MILES CITY AZ SIDNEY Al
Sidney's basketball team played
their two worst eight minute
quarters in years last Saturday
night resulting in their first loss
to a Montana club in almost two
years and ending a SO game win
mig streak. Clusters 42-41 win was
the first time since Dec. 81, 1851
that a coach Kangas team was
held to such few points. Williston
won that one $3.50.
Actually the Eagles played poor
ball during the second and third
periods making two many mis-
takes and shooting miserable. Dur
ing that 16 minute period the
locals made by 27% of their shots.
For the night they connected on

Custer made 1875 of their
tries.
Sidney lost but their comeback
was outstanding. Down by
IL points the locals came back
against Clusters ball control tao
tics to lose by just one.
Sidney took a 60 lead but by
the end of one quarter e tied
SO at half time. Miles was in
front 24-18 and the feeling of a
possible Sidney loss was in the
air.
With Paul Miller hitting from
out and Jerry Jones from in close
Custer increased their lead to
40-30 at the end of three periods.
Then Sidney's press started to pay
With half the quarter
left the Eagles trailed by just one
point 40-39. Then with two min
utes left Miller drove in for his
teams only two points of the quar-
ter but that was enough. George
Weber finished Sidney's scoring
with two free throws at LOG. Gus
ter had two free shots in the last
seconds and the Eagles had a
couple more field attempts but all
we're missed.
For the winners Miller was the
big gun. He scored 20 points and
shot a very good 47%. Only one

Sidney's top scorer was
