CLIMBER MARCI ALLEN drives around Elma's Megan Sherwood in Monday's league match-up in the Minidome. The talented sophomore scored 13 points, dished out several assists and earned high praise from Climber Coach Margie Severson, who ventures to say Merci and league scoring leader Cathy Cole of the C imbers are perhaps the best guard combo in the league.

Byrne Will advance to the state championship in Spokane February 11 and then, if victorious there, will go to Missoula, Montana for the regional championships and finally to Kansas City for the nationals. Winners' names will be enshrined in the Basketball Hall of Fame. Byrne, a" fifth-grader at Mr. View and starling guard for the undefeated Viking varsity team this season, is the son of Mr. and Mrs Patrick Byrne of Shelton. Senior breaststroker Dave Wicken qualified for state in 100 and the Climbers' 400 free relay team earned a berth as well as Shelton overpowered Port Townsend 57-15 in a non-league swim meet last week. Wicken's 1:05.6 was easily enough to qualify and it also trimmed two seconds off the senior's own school record in the event. Eric Valley, Allan Eaton, In the first genuinely "fair" match all season, Shelton's hapless varsity wrestling team fell last Thursday to visiting Olympia.

Page 12 - Shelton'Mason County Journal - Thursday, February 2, 1978 executing our fast break a little better and playing more as a team." As she has done all year, junior guard Cathy Cole played the pivotal role in that fast-break offense, scoring 27 points -just under her league-leading average of better than 28 per game. Playing an extremely strong floor game was guard mate Merci Allen, who added 13 points herself and dished off a number of assists. Donna Standley added six, mostly on mid-range jumpers, and Julie Sandquist and Karen Evankovich scored two apiece. Shelton's jayvees, meanwhile, chalked up victory number three - and in most convincing fashion - by peppering the net for a season-high 50 points to beat Elma's jayvees 50-11. Last Wednesday the Climbers fell to AAA opponent Aberdeen 52-50 after making a gallant comeback in the fourth period, during which they Aberdeen 18-I 1.

MMK Owls' hopes linger despite recent hoop slu The Mary M. Knight Owls continue to nurture hopes of landing a district playoff berth despite having suffered two more basketball defeats the past week. Currently 2-5 in Northern B League play and facing league crucials this Friday and next Tuesday, the Owls were victimized by a freak incident last Friday and it cost them a possible victory against Pe Ell, and then they lost badly to Bush of Seattle the following night. In Pe Eli's thrilling 72-71 victory, a late.game disruption came back to plague the hosts and ruined Knight's valiant comeback effort, led by scoring leaders Hans Mak (28) and Jay Rothrock (17). The Owls were fast-breaking for an uncontested lay-in and appeared to have the cripple when referees whistled the play dead and awarded the hosts a technical-foul .shot. PeEll's bench, it seems, had unloaded over a defensive play and the officials had taken exception with the display. However, the Owls missed the technical shot and thus came up with nothing when they almost certainly would have had two points - twice their margin of defeat. Senior Mak, number three in scoring among local A and B school players with an average of 17.8 points per game, hit 10-16 from the floor and 8-10 from • the line while pacing both teams in rebounding as well, with 12 boards. Rothrock's 17-point production was more than two points over his 14.7 average overall, good for sixth place among local A and B school players. The next night, perhaps suffering a letdown after their narrow defeat, the Owls fell behind early to Bush of Seattle and lost 74-55. The non-league affair lowered Knight's overall record to 7-10. Mak paced the this time hitting 20 Dan Cook Armstrong se Crabtree and Tim and Butch Carr four, was held scoreless bY frontline men, who 6-8.
