TRACY ARMSTRONG BUSTS THROUGH the off-tackle hole but fumbles
the ball as he is tackled by an Olympia defensive lineman in Friday night's
tussle with the Bears. Coming up to make the play is a defensive end to the
left. A Bear halfback (20) recovered the fumble to give Olympia the ball in
Climber territory.
By CHARLES GAY
Kevin Dorcy sank a 20-foot
jumper with three seconds on the
clock to give the Shelton
Highclimbers a 67-65 win in their
opening game Saturday evening in
Shelton Gym.
Burning the nets in the first
q~arter, the Climbers jumped tea
2~-13 lead, which they proceeded
to blow, until it was tied with
about two minutes to go.
Shelton held a 41-32 halftime
advantage, and a 55-47 third
quarter edge, but Central Kitsap
was coming on, taking advantage
of costly Climber turnovers. They
tied the score at 63-63, which was
the best position they had been in
all night.
For the first time in the game,
the visiting Cougars took the lead,
65-63, and it looked as though
the momentum was swinging
toward them. Shelton tied the
game up again when Bruce Cole
tapped in a team mate's shot, and
it was 65-65. Then, Bill Bacon's
man was charged with an
offensive foul, and Shelton got
the ball with about half a minute
on the clock.
Calling time out, Head Coach
Terry Gregg calmed his troops
and sent them back onto the
floor. They worked the ball
around for approximately 30
seconds and then Dorcy went up
from the top of the key and
swished a snot of from 20 to 22
feet. The Cougars called time out,
but there were only two seconds
left. Mike Bac did not let the
Cougars get a chance at a last
desperation basket; he stole the
inbounds pass and hung on.
For the Climbers it was an
amazing shooting story. They hit
50 per cent during the game and
had an even better percentage in
the initial period. Dorcy's shots
hit little but the bottom of the
nets all night, and he was the
game's leading scorer with 23
points. He had ten of those in the
first quarter.
Bruce Cole, the Climbers'
6'4" center, had a sizzling first
period in which he made five
buckets and three of four foul
shots for 13 points, nearly half of
Shelton's first quarter total. He
ended up with just one less point
than Dorcy.
Shelton was outplayed
pointwise in the second, third and
fourth quarters, but their huge
first period lead allowed them a
cushion most of the game. When
it got tight in the last frame, it
gave fans memories of last
season's close games, few of
which the Climbers lost.
Central was in early foul
trouble, but ended up with fewer
fouls than Shelton for the game.
They converted on 15 of 21 foul
shots while Shelton made nine of
16 free shots. Only three Climbers
stepped to the line for foul shots.
Cole was four for six, Dorcy one
of three, and Bacon four of seven.
Bacon had four in the third
quarter. He was Shelton's third
leading scorer with ten points.
Mike Bac had eight, and Rich
Walker had four to round out the
scoring.

foul shots and the Climbers made Valentine ended up with a tie for
only seven. Shelton was in foul the game's high scorer. He made
trouble for much of the game, 11 of 15 points at the charity
and especially in the fourth line.
ITT and Jess Mobil got off to
big starts in the City League
action Monday night to share the
league's lead.
Jess beat Bob's Tavern 64-29,
with Joe Earl scoring 12 points
for the victors. Run Landis was
second with 11 points. Mark
Schmidt and Jan Donaldson each
added ten, Jim Olsen had eight,
Bob Walker five, and Jerry,
Westlund and Lynn Spilseth four
each. For the losers, Steve Catrell
had 12, Dick Adams seven, Nels
Lund six, Ed Crawford two, and
Run Zonkers and Greg Catching
one each.
Jess was ahead all the way.
The scores were 19-10, 31-15, and
49-19 at the quarters.
The other game in Lincoln
Gym Monday night saw ITT
Rayonier dump the Teachers by a
79-55 score. The Teachers were
down by seven at the half, as ITT
gradually pulled away. It was
19-12 at the end of the first
quarter, 39-32 at the half, and
57-46 at the third quarter's end.
Don Jorg had 19 points for ITT.
Jerry Mallory and Tom •
Kimberling each added 12, Todd
Kenning had ten, Jack Sather and
Wally Ewart six each, Bill
Anderson four, and Run Elledge
three.
For the Teachers, it was Jim
Willis with 14, Kelso with 13,
Paul Johansson and A1 Hopp had
ten each, and Johnston had eight.
Gott Oil did not play a game
in the five team league this week.
Steve Sparks kept up a family
basketball tradition as he scored
25 points in the Shelton Junior |
High Blazers' game with Hoquiam
!
which the Blazers won easily,
54-36, in Shelton Gym Thursday
afternoon.
Coach Jack Marquett said his
squad played good defense and
performed well for early in the
season. The Blazers allowed
only six points to go on the
scoreboard for Hoquiam in each
of the first two quarters while
scoring many themselves. They
jumped to a huge 23-6 first
quarter edge, a 30-12 halftime
advantage, and led by 20 at the
close of the third quarter, 45-25.
Sparks has been preceeded by
two brothers, Jerry and Mike,
who both burned Shelton nets
throughout their basketball
careers in the town.
Dan Morgan and Steve Watilo
followed Sparks in scoring,
'amering eight points each. Len
ume had four, Jay LeGault

Bruce Cole made 15 points
for Shelton's cause. Kevin Dorcy,
who fouled out of the contest in
the fourth quarter, finished .with
I I. Mike Bee added nine, Bill
Bacon had seven, Rich Walker
two, and Jeff Okano one.
The Eagles led at the ends of
all the periods, but the Climbers
were able to go ahead in the last
two quarters a few times. It was
15-9 at the end of the first
quarter. After being down by ten
at times in the second stanza,
Shelton fought back to a 27-21
halftime deficit.
The third quarter saw the
hosts outscore Elma 14-9 to trail
by just one at 36-35. In the last
frame, the Eagles got ahead by six
quickly and used the lead as a
cushion, drawing numerous fouls
and converting on many of the
free throws.
Now 1-1 for the season, the
Climbers take on Central Kitsap
in Silverdale this Saturday night.
Last Saturday, Shelton whipped
the Cougars 67-65 on the local
maples.
