!:" By JOHN HURST Shelton center Mark Tuson exploded in the final frame of the Climbers' first round Region II tilt with Curtis, pacing them to a thrilling 56-55 victory. The burly senior buried 1 I of his 14 points in the fourth quarter in an effort equalled by no one on the court. The game seemed not only exhausting to the players but to the fans as well, who watched a seesawing first half. In the first quarter boih teams had many turnovers, mostly on bad passes, but when the contestants got warm the action got hot. Todd Brewer and Mike B~e kept the Climbers rolling throughout the quarter, scoring nine and five, respectively. i/i/i:ii!ii!!ili¸ :i By DAVE CARLSON Coach Terry Gregg's hoopsters gave their all last Saturday night in Region ii finals against the Washington Patriots, but couldn't put two miracles together as the Tacoma preps downed Shelton 52-51 in a real heart-stopper at Capitol Pavilion in Lacey. The Shelton dream for two state championship teams in a year went down the drain. Shelton can now finish no higher than fourth in state and even thai could be tough since Shelton will probably have to Play O'Dea of Seattle, an outstanding squad which sports perhaps the most sought-after basketball prodigy in the state, Glint Richardson. The Climbers, who had trouble getting the ball around a tough Washington zone throughout the first half, finally found a weak spot in the Washington zone in the fourth period and ahnost pulled another win out of the fire as they had the night before against Curtis of Tacoma. 1.

With Duffy's already in the bonus situation, Ron Moodenbaugh, the game's high scorer with 30 points, sank six straight freethrows to bury the Mets. Corey, bothered by a tight zone defense'in the early going, racked up 22 points to lead Met scorers. Ninnis, with one of his better efforts, canned 20.

DIAMOND PROSPECTS SPARKLE Five lettermen from last year's championship baseball team constitute the nucleus around which Coach Red Smith is shaping his 1950 Highclimber team. Prospects at this early date indicate the 1950 Climber diamond aggregation will seek its fifth consecutive title with a team featuring chiefly strong pitching and a good defense. The pitching strength is in the arms of Don Cleveland and Bob Eacrett, two lettermen, and Ned Miller and Danny Yarr, sophomores who have junior high experience. The three other returning letter-winners are Ted Dale and Danny Austin, outfielders; and Jack Valley, infielder. (k CAR CARE 1st & Cota Shelton Curtis led the better part of the game, 35-27 at halftime, and 49-42 at the end of the third quarter. But as the saying goes, "When the going gets 1OUgh the tough get going." This means Tuson! With 6:10 remaining in the game, Tuson hit a foul shot and then two lay-ups in a period of 54 fourth in state tourney Shelton's Highclimbers will see action this week in the state AA basketball tournament at Tacon}a's University of Puget Sound. The Climbers, eliminated from championship play by a loss Saturday to Washington of Tacoma, will tackle Othello Friday at 2 p.m. for a chance at fourth place. if they get by Othello, the Climbers will meet the winner of Friday's Hoquiam-O'Dea game at 3:30 p.m. Saturday. Winner of this game will finish fourth in the state tourney; loser will wind up in seventh place. seconds. Brewer reciprocated with a lay-up on a Tuson pass which brought the Climbers within three, 52-49. As 2:48 passed the clock, Curtis hit a hoop but Tuson immediately dumped another lay-up to match his one at 3:52 and Shelton was down by one, 53-54.' Little Dale Campagna tied the game with a foul shot but, with 46 ticks left, fouled out of the game and received a technical on his way to the bench. Viking Tim Wells threaded the "T" shot to break the tie and Curtis proceeded to set up the ball. At the :19 mark, Randy Bostrom intercepted a lob-pass in the key, immediately calling time out. After the break the Climbers set the ball up trying to feed Brewer in the "coffin corner" for a game-winning shot. Mike Bariekman, seeing that Brewer was covered, pushed a lightning-quick pass into Tuson who arched a turn-around jumper in with :05. Tuson then returned to defense and snagged a Curtis desperation pass three-quarters the length of the floor and held on for the win. Shelton showed strong poise throughout the game, which it needed to counter Curtis' superior height factor. Along with Tuson, Brewer had an excellent night as he led game scoring with 20 for the Red and Black. He was followed by Tuson 14, Baze 1 I, Bariekman 4, Bostrom 4, and Campagna 3. I pass into the middle for a three-point cushion, 10-7, after one period. Both teams loosened up a bit in the second period but neither group could take COlUrol and establish any kind of a lead. Shelton did manage to sneak to within one point a couple times before the Patriots would put on a burst and stretch their edge out again, leading 26-23 at the half. In the third period it was once again up-and-down but the improved outside shooting by Washington helped it pull further ahead of the Climbers. The Patriots led at one time 39-29 .just before the end of the third stanza, the biggest lead enjoyed for the evening. In the final eight minutes of play the Shelton Highclimbers reproved the point that a team which lacks a couple of "big men" can play with a team of greater size. For Shelton the entire fourth quarter was a question of "How long does it take us to make up eight points in one period?" It may be that it took Shelton maybe 10- 15 seconds too long, after matching buckets for the first six ininutes of the stanza before catching fire with two minutes to play. Trailing 50-43 and the scoreboard showing 2:06 to play, the Climbers made a move, taking advantage of a tenacious full-court press and several key thefts and Washington turnovers. Shelton came back until Bob Christensen meshed a 15-foot jumper which moved Sheiton to within 51-49 with time running out. Washington brought the bali into its forecourt and ran valuable seconds from the clock before an intentional foul sent a Patriot player to the foul line for a one-and-one opportunity. Under tremendous Shelton rooter vocal pressure, the Patriot cahnly dropped in the front end of his chance but missed his second. Shelton rebounded and called time-out with ! 2 seconds eleft. Dale Campagna grabbed the inbounds pass, drove to the hoop and was fouled before his shot for his own one-and-one chance. Campagna hit them both to make the score 52-51 with ten seconds left to play in the game. The Shelton press gave Washington all it could handle in the last 10 seconds, but an apparently errant and out-of-bounds pass in the final seconds was saved by the Patriots and time ran out.
