Kevin Dorcy led his Shelton
I-lighclimbers past league-leading
Centralia Friday night in a wild
Shelton Gym, 75-70, with 21
points and some brilliant
defensive play.
Head Coach Terry Gregg of
the Climbers said it was the finest
overall team effort of the season.
Most of the fans in the gym
would agree. Shelton had their
best scoring night of the season
and beat the Tigers who had
previously beaten the Climbers
80-53 in a rout.
It was the second game of the
week where the Climbers had to
face huge opposing centers. On
Tuesday, Shelton got its first look
at Jeff Smith, a big boy from
Chehalis. Smith made 38 points
on 19 field goals. Scott Hamilton,
Centralia's 6'8" center, also gave
the Climbers trouble.
Hamilton made 28 points but
he was not enough to win the
game alone. Dorcy and his gang of
Highclimbers burnt the nets most
of the game.
The first quarter saw the
visiting Tigers take a 20-17 lead,
Hamilton leading them with
seven. Dorcy kept Shelton in it by
making eight points.
Bruce Cole and Rich Walker
led a second quarter comeback by
the Climbers that succeeded,
giving them a 39-34 edge at the
half. Cole and Walker had six each
and Bill Bacon added four as
Shelton outscored the visitors
22-14 in that quarter to take the
lead.
The Climbers never gave up
the lead. Everything seemed to go
fight for them in the second half
except for a Centralia scoring
binge at the end of the game.
Dorcy had nine points in the third
period, some on steals, and Cole
made five more as the Climbers
poured it on to lead 57-44 at the
end of the third stanza.
Shelton at one time led by 17
in the game before blowing it
considerably. Bill Bacon hit
everything he shot in the final
quarter and Mike Bac and Rocky
Nutt added four apiece as the
Climbers continued to keep the
pressure on. Suddenly with a
minute and a half to go, a big lead
began to crumble because of a
Tiger press and numerous
turnovers. However, the lead was
so big that it was simply
impossible for the Tigers to pull it
out.
Hamilton made 12 points in
the fourth quarter as his Centralia
team struck for 26 to Shelton's
18. For the game, the Tigers had
nine men in the scoring column,
three in double figures. Shelton
had four in double figures among
six scorers.
Besides Dorcy with 21, Bacon
was next high with 15. The junior
starting guard hit five of five from
the charity line as well as five
from the field. Cole garnered 12,
including four of five from the line.
Bac made ten and was a perfect
two of two from the line. Rocky
Nutt made one of one from the
line on his way to nine points.
Rich Walker was the last scorer
with eight points. Shelton was 13
of 18 from the free throw line
and hit 31 field goals, the highest
number they've hit this season.
The Climbers are now 7-6 for
the season and 5-4 in league. They
had a three-game winning streak
in league after the victory. This
Friday Shelton gets a bye and
prepares for Olympia on Tuesday,
February 9, in Shelton Gym. That
game will begin at 7:30 p.m.
Donkey basketball will make
its appearance in ShaRon Gym
this Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m.
Three games with eight
minute halves will be played.
Four teams will participate and a
championship game will be played
between the winners of the first
two games.
The four teams competing are~
the Jaycees, the high school boys,
high school girls and the faculty.
AFS is sponsoring the contest
which features unusual rules.
There are no out of bounds,
players must be mounted on their
donkeys to score, players may
lead their donkeys to the ball and
players are advised to wear
football helmets and other
padding.
Tickets for the affair are
$1.00 presale for adults and $1.25
at the gate and $.75 for students
and $I.00 at the door. You may
phone 426-8261 extension seven
for advance tickets or buy them
this Saturday from members of
AFS in downtown stores.
For those who wonder how
the donkeys can perform in the
gym, the animals wear padding on
their feet.

Timberline fell before
Shelton's Highclimber grapplers
Thursday night in Lacey for the
Climbers' seventh win of the
season against two losses.
Shelton lost just three
matches in roiling to a 34-13 tie,
but it wasn't that lopsided a
match until the last few individual
matches. The host Blazers were
only three points behind with
four matches to go. Then Shelton
scored 18 unanswered points to
turn it into a rout.
Brad Stites won by a forfeit in
the 100 pound class to give
Shelton a 5-0 lead. Timberline
quickly evened it up with a pin at
107. Mark Lewis won a decision
at 114 and Randy Howard was
voted Wrestler of the Week for his
decision at 121. The Climbers lost
a decision at 128 but Dave Nutt
came back with a close 4-3
decision in the 134 pound class to
put Shelton ahead by 14-8.
Timberline won the 140
pound class and Mark Thompson
tied at 147 to make the score
16-13. Shelton pulled away when
Mark Wittenberg and Don
Vanderwal won by pins at 157
and 169 respectively, Dave Myer
won by decision at 187 and Bill
Gray took the heavyweight match
by forfeit.
The Climbers now own a
7-2-1 win-loss-tie record for the
season and are 3-2-1 in league.
Since tying Aberdeen and losing
to league leaders North Thurston
and Olympia, the Climbers have
three straight over Chehalis,
Centralia and Timberline.
