Grumble, Grumble! Cats Lose
To Ranger In OT, 56-55

simply do not fare well in loosely
called contests for whatever the
reason!
Another telling stat was the
shooting percentage for both
squads. Ranger held the hot hand,
especially iiv the second half (16 of 27
for 59%) when it counted moat. The
Dogs connected on 23 of 48 shots for
a 48% evening while the Cats were
“cool" at 39%....24 of 62...and Ran-
ger held a slim edge in rebounding,
3130.
The best crowd of the year
witnessed a classic struggle for the
11-AAlead. In the first period of
lay, the district heavyweights
aded buckets in a see saw affair,
ith 1:17 remaining, Breck Daniels
of RHS connected on a short jumper
to give the Dogs an edge, 10-6, but
David May and McCord Wilson
countered for the Cats to knot it at
10 before the buzzer sounded a halt
to the action.
With 2:41 to go in thrf half, the
Cats began to pulhaway from a 21-17
lead. Michael Childress and Came-
ron Norris fueled the surge with six
and seven points, respectively. Bau
corn’s five held somewhat comfort-
able leads at 26 18 and 28-20 before
Lopez netted three free throws
down the stretch. It was CHS ft),
RHS 23 at the intermission.
Ranger outscored CHS 16-11 in
period three and at the 1:20 mark,
they went ahead for the first time
since early in the game, 39-37.
Neither squad could muster more
than a two point lead from that
point forward. Childress tied the
contest at 39 with a short jumper
with seven ticks left in period three.
The fourth period had spectators
sitting at the edge of their seats.
Each buchft brought a rousing
response from, the aroused throng.
With 1:50 to gu in regulation, Breck
Daniels bagged a peeper, 49-47
RHS; Speedy Holloway responded
with 1:33 to go with a 16-foot
jumper; Anthony Lopez looked like
Dr. J with an out-of-this-world spin
move in the lane to make it 51-49
with 1:15 to go.
After Childress missed a shot
with 1:00 remllning, Ranger called
time out and appeared to be in the
driver's seat. Billy Grumbles was
fouled with 28 seconds to go and had
two shots. Jack Raucom iced Grum'
biea by calling time out and it
worked. The Ranger guard missed
them both and David May pulled
down a key rebound. With 15
seconds to go and the Bloeeat
faithful holding their breath, Chil
dress polished a beauliful’drive with
I a bank shot and the Cats had tied at
61.
W e Are ,
By Stan Brudney
Something unusual happened to
the Bluecats on the way to the
district championship...Ranger
showed up and beat ’em! Riding a
13-game winning streak entering
Friday night's battle of the 11 A A
unbeatens, the Bluecats met their
match in the CHS Gym.
Ranger, 4-0 and l2-&>entering the
game, used the dual talents of
Anthony Lopez and Craig Koch to
nip the Cats in overtime, 56-65, in
one of the more exciting cage tilts to
be played in the relatively new CH8
Gym.
The Bulldogs' Billy Grumbles
canned an easy bucket under-
neath with eight seconds to go in
overtime to seal the upset (?)
victory. Grumbles' "can of corn''
came after Bluecat forward Michael
Childress had given Baucom’s five a
short-lived lead at 56-54 with 24
seconds remaining. The defensive
breakdown brought back not-too-
pleasant memories of the Bluecats'
heartbreaking loss to Abernathy
59-68 in the state semi final round in
1980. A hoop with two seconds left
sent the Cats back to Coleman in
that one.
The Bulldogs accomplished the
road upset with deadly outside
shooting and timely rebounding.
Anthony Lopez and Craig Koch
were a cut above anyone the Cats
have seen this season from the 20
foot range. Lopez banged in 8-5-21
points while Koch caressed the nets
for 7-8-17. Everytime the Cats
appeared to have a handle on the
outcome, either Lopez or Koch
bombed away a high archer to
does the gap or pull the Bulldogs
even.
To the Cats disadvantage, the
overtime contest was played in an
amazingly fast one hour, five min-
utes. The refs called it loose (an
understatement) in a playoff atmos-
phere. The striped duo must have
been double parked. At times, the
contest resembled the activity in ai
intramural football game...rougl
and reckless! Bluecat cage teams

Ranger moved the length of the
court quickly but Lopez’s jumper
attempt did not beat the buzzer...
overtime!!
The three minute "extra" began
with Lopez bagging a' 15 foot
fade-away jumper at the 2:20 mark.
Cameron Norris answered with a
short shot after a nifty feed from
Speedy Holloway...53-53. Lopez was
fouled with 1:44 to go and again,
Baucom “put him in a box” by
calling time out. Lopez connected on
the front end but missed his second
opportunity....54-53.
The Cats appeared panicky on
their trip down court and ran a
minute off the clock before Chil-
dress missed a base line shot with 46
seconds to go. Luckily, Grumbles
kicked the rebound out-of-bounds
and the Cats retained possession.
“Little Chilly" made no mistake this
time, bagging a crucial jumper with
24 seconds to go putting the Cats
up. 55-54.
The Bulldogs took just 16 seconds
to score, taking advantage of a
Bluecat defensive lapse to tally the
game's final points with eight ticks
left. Grumbles received a Lopez
pass underneath for the final blow.
With coaches Jack Baucom and Ray
Findley frantically signalling for a
time out, Speedy Holloway, un-
aware of their intentions, dribbled
to near mid court before passing. A pppypn Ry Angell llimnn
Bulldog swiped the agate and the
mourning began on the Bluecat side.
Michael Childress led the Cats
with 8-3-19 while Norris had 5 3-13,
Holloway 4-0-8, May 4-0-8, Wilson
2-1-6, and Bryan Dieterich managed
1-0-2. For Ranger, Lopez had 8-6-21,
Koch 7-8-17, Grumbles 5-2-12 and
Daniels 3-06.
Ranger has assumed the post
position in 11-AA by updating their
record to 183 overall and 60 in
district play. The Cats fell to 16-2
overall and 4-1 in district.
KATTS WIN EASILY. 7689
Barbara Cox's Blue Katt gals won
what was supposed to be a tough
struggle quite handily in the early
contest.
The Katt# gained the upper hand
early and led 167 by the quarter's
end as balanced scoring aided the
lead.
Melisha Mason poured in 12-1-26
points to lead all scorers while
Lorrie Warrick added 62-18, Kim
Wright 60 12. Rise Willard 60-12,
Cristy Isenhower 20-4, and Kelli
Neal bagged 1-1-3. Susan McCreight
tallied a bucket in the late going.
CHS lifted their slate to 14-6
overall and 60 in 11-AA play while
Ranger fell to 187 overall and 4-2.

They told us lS*/» million people are
injured in falls every year. Falls are
the most eontly of all accidents, most
falls happen at floor level and most
could have been prevented. To
prevent falls we need jo watch our
attitude, careful about aafety, re-
cognize a potential accident, be
aware of our abilities, do things
safely, remove, repair and avoid
potential accidents and use proper
judgment. "It's all up to us."
Thursday we had 20 for Game day

Horne had a very good program on
how to survive in cold weather.
Sure came at a good time. She

menu. The foods to include are
juice, milk, fish, milk (canned or
dry). Avoid alcohol, whiskey, wine,
beer and rum aa they only seem to
nuke you feel warm.

Sanson who discussed Social Secur-
ity, Form 1099. Some people may
owe Ux on part of their Social
Security benefito if they had sub-
sUntial income in 1964. Only about
