light for the last time with a 10

quarter. At halftime the Eagles
were way out in front 1923. Co
ing into the final eight minutes

43 %. For the first half the Ea-

Sidney So - Billings Central Sc
The Sidney Eagles withstood
an inspired Billings Central Ram
five last Saturday night to come
out on top $3.50 for their third
conference win of the young
season. Coach Jim Thelen's team
which wasn't supposed to have
a chance, almost pulled off the
biggest upset of the year.
Sidney led 22-9 at the end of
the first period and 1925 at the
half way point as they had things
pretty much their own way. But
then the situation changed. By
the end of three periods with the
locals still leading SOAP it was
obvious to the comparatively few
fans present that the Rams were
far from beaten.
The fourth quarter was the
most thrilling one on the local
floor in years. With 3:39 minutes
remaining the visitors tied it at
So all. Craig Price put Sidney
ahead on a free throw but sub
situte Ed Sherman tied it up
again with a charity toss. Then
Gary McMorris who was the
outstanding player on the floor
for Sidney swished an eight
footer but Dave McNalley retalli-
ated with his own two points from
20 feet out. With just seconds
left McMorris sank a layup to
give his team the final lead. The
Rams had one more chance but
a shot by Don Reichardt at the
buzzer missed.
The Eagles were lucky as
Billings Central out fought, out
hustled and out shot them
especially in the last half. Sid
ney made only $40 of their shots
for their poorest percentage at a
home game in a long time. The
Rams shot a respectable $3.50.
McMorris led Sidney with 19
points. His two buckets in the
final quarter, the only ones by
the team in those eight minutes,
won the game. Price, who has
been having his troubles, showed
some of the spark that could
make him one of the outstanding
players in the league and contri-
buted IL points.
High scorer for the night was
John Link of the Rams with %
points. His teammate McNalley
had 16.
The Sidney B team lost two
close ones last week. Williston's
B team previously a victim OF
Coach Standings squad won Fri
day night 66-56. Sidney led r.
IL at the end of one but Willis
ton lead 1922 at halftime and
5O-37 going into the fourth. High
for Sidney was John Neckles
