T,S one experience
nurston Rams this
though SUccessful in
ts hardly the
lich psychological
they prevailed 46-44,
tile Climbers did so only by
virtue of twice thwarting the
visiting Rams' intended equalizer
in the last 30 seconds of play.
And, while they did manage
to handle 6-6 center Jay Feeney
in that game, forcing him out on
louis before the big Ram ever
really got into the game, the
Climbers were victimized
repeatedly by Thurston's other
big men, senior forwards Dean
Logue (6-6) and Jay Feeney
(6-4).
Of course, the Climbers at
that juncture were without the
services of ace junior Mike
Ashley, the 6-5 wingman whose
presence for the final eight
games of the regular season has
meant a decisive lift for Shelton
in almost every phase of the
game.
He has scored in double
figures on several occasions, once
pumping in 24 points, and has
averaged close to as many
rebounds.
His return, though welcomed,
created a problem of sorts for
Climber Coach Terry Gregg -
though it is hardly the sort of
dilemma coaches lament• It gave
the Climbers at least seven bona
fide starters, tested all. For the
front line are Ashley, center
Brian Martin and Todd Young. A
talented swing man for the
Climbers is junor Jim O'Dell.
Tested guard veterans include
Stan Bourgault, Bruce Dorcy and
Les Smith.
As a result, Gregg has both
enjoyed and suffered the
versatility - and temptation -
of being able to play any one of
a number of different
combinations at any given time.
It has given the team both
unusual depth and, at times, a
sense of misplaced cohesiveness.
Actually, it was less Climber
cohesivenessless than simple
Eagle aggressiveness that did in
Shelton last week against
arch-foe Elma. The Climbers
outshot the visitors 22-54 Io
18-58 but got beaten in the
rebounding department and
simply gave the game away at
the freethrow line•
Elma toed up for 21 freebies
in the game and converted 16,
while Shelton made just 3-8.
As they have done so many
times this year, Eagle
sharpshooters Dave Glenn and
Robbie Whipple got the job done
when they had to. Glenn led all
scorers with 16 points while
Whipple tallied 15.
Shelton led 14-8 after tile
first quarter bul Hma came back
with a 24-1x)int second period Io
lead 32-24 at intermission. Thc
hosts pulled to wilhin two at
36-34 early in the lhird but lhen
Elma ran off 12 points to the
Climbers' one and Shclhm never
really recovered.
Ahead 47-41 with about four
and a half minutes r,emaining in
the game, the Eagles went into a
modified four-comer stall, and
their pressure-packed successes at
the freethrow line proved
sufficient to hold the advantage
as time ran out.
For Shellon, Young led the
way with 13 points, O'Dell had
12, Martin ten, Ashley seven and
Bourgault five• Climber reserves
Gary Orr, Pat Rhodes, Dorcy
and Terry Brown played
nonscoring roles.
Should the Climbers prove
victorious tonighl against the
Rams as district play gets
underway, they'll meet the
winner of tonight's
Hoquiam-Mark Morris clash for
the district crown• The
championship game is set to start
at 8:30 p.m. Saturday at St.

WHAT THE OFFICIAL can't see won't hurt Climber guard Bruce Dorcy,
here reacting to a call during a recent game in the Minidome. Bruce and
teammates hope to enjoy only the sweet smell of success tonight when they
meet North Thurston in round one of the district playoffs.
'Newk' earns six:th at state
Shelton sophomore Jerry
Newcomb ascended to sixth place
in tile state AA wrestling
tournament last weekend in
Tumwater.
The standout 108:pounder
was one of five Climbers
competing in the prestigious
event. Others were Matt Kamin
(122), Brian Willis (141), Rick
Haskell (148) and Kevin Ridout
(158).
Newcomb had distinguished
himself already, having become
Shelton's first frosh state
competitor last year, when he
narrowly missed placing, but this
time around he managed to post a
victory in the opening round to
put himself in the driver's seat.
That one was a thriller, too.
Newcomb and Mike Watte of
North Kitsap were deadlocked at
0-0 after the regulation six-minute
bout, but the scrappy Climber
scored a one-point victory in
overtime.
In the second round, Newk
guaranteed himself a place in the
"money" by besting Doug Sitton
of Sedro Woolley 12-3. In the
championship semifinals,
however, he got pinned by
eventual state-runnerup Dale
Huges of Sunnyside at the 1:23
mark, setting u*p his 8-0 rematch
loss to Sitton in the battle for
