BEAR CENTER John Terry (42) prepares to launch a shot late in Tuesday's Black Hills League match-up in the Minidome as Climbers Brian Martin (44) and Stan Bourgault (right) converge. Behind Martin is Shelton guard Les Smith. The Climbers' 57-56 victory preserved their league leadership. Climbers humble 'Cats despite lousy shooting Cold hands proved of little consequence last Friday as the league-leading Shelton Highclimbers easily outclassed Black Hills foe Chehalis 60-38 on the Bearcats' home court. Shelton shot a miserable 11-32 in the first half but still managed to adjourn to the locker room with a 25-15 advantage - attributable largely to the Climbers' all-court press and the inexperience of an opponent that had won just one of eight league games prior to the match-up. Shelton managed to get going in the third quarter as senior Stan Bourgault and juniors Les Smith and Jim O'Dell began finding the range. Twenty points later, at the start of the fourth period, Shelton had a 45-22 lead - and Coach Terry Gregg began looking to the bench. Bourgault, Smith and O'Dell each tallied 11 points to lead the way, while Gary Orr added seven, Brian Martin six, Terry Brown five, Dave Danielson four, Bruce Dorcy three and Jay Swift two. Mike Ashley, Grant Fox and Pat Rhodes played nonscoring roles. The Climbers finished with a .391 shooting figure on 25-64, while the Bearcats managed just .286 on 14-49. Brant Kane and Steve Azeltine led Chehalis' scoring with eight and seven points, respectively. The Climbers played without the services of junior starting forward Todd Young, who'd jammed a thumb during practice earlier in the week Young was ready for action in time for the following game, however. JVs stage dramatic finish The Climber jayvees won a one-point thriller in the Minidome Tuesday, holding off the Oly Bears repeatedly in the waning seconds for a 60-59 victory. After Scan Byrne's jumper with less than a minute left had elevated the Climbers to a one.point lead, the Bears got several shots off - and once at the freethrow line - but  Bowling Results  DONUT TRIO 1-31-78 Women's Hi Game: Diana Offerdal 209 Women's Hi Series: Diana Offerdal 540 Standings: Mark-it 16-4, Central 14-6, Limerick 14-6, Bob's Tav. 13-7, Leonard 10-10, Simpson 9-11, Pine T. 8-12, Beautique 8-12, Harrison 8-12, Strikes 7-13, James 7-13, Nell's 6-14.

Strong board work by Pat Rhodes particularly kept the Bears from getting a good shot inside as time ran out. Rhodes, a 6-3 junior, finished with a game-high 21 points. Mike Ashley added eight in just a little over a quarter's playing time, while Grant Fox hit eight, Jay Swift and Terry Brown six each, Dave Danielson five, Byrne four and Gary Orr two. The Climber jayvees had just come off a victory over the Bearcat jayvees last Friday in Chehalis. The victories tightened the Climbers' hold on first place in their division.
