and grabbed 10 rebounds while
Knight came off the bench to
score 15 points.
Tumwater won the opening

score on a foul shot for Shelton.
Tumwater scored four points,
then the Climbers scored seven on
field goals by Long and Norbert
Huber and a three-point play by

hustling for loose balls to help
TUMWATER'S STAR FORWARD, STEVE ZOOK, received a warm
welcome from the Shelton fans.

The Shelton Highclimbers
started off great against Aberdeen
Tuesday night, but in the second
half the Bobcat's fast break
burned the Climbers and
Aberdeen took a 77-66 win.
Offensively, the only bright
spot was junior forward Steve
Sparks who came off the bench to
score 19 points.
Aberdeen won the opening
tip, but Shelton scored first on a
jump shot by Terry Knight. The
Climbers got off to a great start as
they racked up eight points
before Aberdeen even scored. The
Bobcats battled back and took a
momentary lead at 10-9, but
Shelton answered with a shot by
John Eager and went on to take a
17-13 first-quarter lead.
In a year when more people
are catching extra-large steelhead,
Ehner (;ali's 32-pound, 8-ounce
steelhead taken from the Cedar
River on February 15 tops the
list.
E.C. Gockerell's 31-pound
fish taken on the Bogachiel
December 18 is the second best
fish this year.
For those wishing to try for a
super-large steelhead, following
are the top ten winter-runs taken
in Washington during the 1972-73
steelhead season to date.

Saturday is tourney day
There will be a basketball
tournament for fourth, fifth and
sixth graders this Saturday at the
high school gym. The
tournament, which will start at 10
a.m., will wrap up the winter
recreation program that has been
going on all winter. Players from
the high school team will referee,
coach and keep' time. This will be
the last chance for the youngsters
to show off the skills they have
learned in the recreation program.
Shelton started to get into
foul trouble early in the second
quarter when Drew Eken picked
up his third foul. Barry Gesche
got the first basket of the quarter
for Shelton, then center John
Eager was whistled down for his
third foul. Aberdeen scored eight
unanswered points alter that as
they came back to take a
two-point lead, 21-19. The rest of

the quarter was close with the
lead going back and forth and the
Climbers went into the locker
room at halftime trailing by one
point, 31-30.
The second half proved to be
a disaster for the Highclimbers.
The third quarter started with
Drew Eken picking up his fourth
foul, and Aberdeen scored seven
straight points before the
Climbers got their first basket.
Aberdeen's fast break was
working very well as they built up
as much as a 16-point lead, and
the third quarter ended with
Shelton trailing 59-45.
Things didn't get much better
in the fourth period either. Doug
Long finally started to find the
range and Steve Sparks scored 9
points, but it wasn't enough to
pull the Climbers up with the hot
Bobcats and the game ended with
Shelton down by eleven, 77-66.
The loss gives Shelton an 8-9
record in league play, and a 10-9
record for the season. Friday the
Climbers play their last regular
season game at Home against
Chehalis.
Final scoring for the
Aberdeen game: Steve Sparks, 19;
Doug Long, 11; Terry Knight, 9;
Drew Eken, 6; John Eager, 6;
Norbert Huber, 6; Barry Gesche,
6;and Rich Endicott 3.

Shelton break on top. Tumwater
came back to some extent, but
the Climbers still held a 13-11
lead at the end of the first
quarter.
Tumwater won the tip and
got the first score of the second
period to tie the score up. But the
Climbers answered by outscoring
the T-Birds 11-2 to take a
nine-point lead, 24-15. Five of the
points came from Terry Knight
on three foul shots and a lay-in
after a steal. Knight's hustling
defense and offensive leadership
helped Shelton break off to their
lead. The T-Birds came back
toward the end of the quarter
when the action started getting
rather rough, but the Climbers
still held a five-point lead, 28-23,
at the half.
Knight started the third
quarter, and the T-Birds scored
the first four points before Terry
answered with a three-point play.
The T-Birds outscored the
Climbers 12-9 in the low-scoring
third period, but Shelton still held
a 37-35 lead at the buzzer.
Tumwater got the first score
of the fourth quarter, but Doug
Long answered with a super move
and a field goal for Shelton. The
fourth quarter was close at the
start, but Shelton had an 8-point
explosion midway through the
period to take a safe lead once
again. Four points were by Long
and four by center John Eager
and the Climbers didn't have any
trouble the rest of the way. The
closing minutes saw nine fouls
committed, 16 free throws
attempted and the Climbers held
on to win by eight, 57-49.
