can win both.
Billings Central gave Sidne,
a real battle here last Decembei
losing 1886. Since then the Ram.
have won five and lost two def
mite proof that they are one O.
the most improved squads in ths
conference.
One other excellent reason the
Eagles better be prepared to play
their best. Last year Sidney COM
pletely Inundated a potentially
good Ram five, so the present
team plus student and fans viii,
go all out to get their revenge
Friday night.
Hardin proved to the league
last week that on a given night
they can compete with the best
In a double overtime the Bulldogs
lost to the league leading Mus
tangs 37-35. This is the closest
any team has come to stopping
Great Falls this year. And that
game was played on the winners
court.
On December IL Hardin gave
Sidney a game for one quarter
and then lost 70-44. This Satur-
days game no doubt will be diff
ferent.
Like Glendive, Hardin has a
Cracker box" gym and no one
would argue that that situation
gives the home club an advant-
age. With this in mind plus the
fact that the Bulldogs are better
than their record indicates there
shouldn't be any over confidence
on the locals part.
Coach Toby Kangas and his
Eagles are well aware of what is
in store for them this weekend.
In fact the Sidney mentor con-
siders this his toughest road
trip of the year.
On the practice floor this week
Sidney has worked hard on both
zone and pressing defense tactics
they expect to face this week. At
the time OF this writing coach
Kangas was undecided about what
squad members will make the
trip. However his starting five
will probably be Al Mann and
Ron Munoz at forwards, Bob
Jensen at center and Craig Price
and Gary McMorris at the guard
spots.
In other weekend games the
B team and freshmen will play
their like squads in Glendive
Friday night. No games are sch
eduled for these two teams Sat-
urday.
