"We still need to work on a
couple of things," said Head
Coach Terry Gregg, "'but at
times we played quite well."
One of the things to which
Gregg was alluding was the
Climber zone press. Reasonably
effective at times, it suffered just
enough of a breakdown just
often enough to let the visiting
triple-A Cougars sneak inside for
cripples that prevented the game
from becoming a complete rout.

SENIOR PAT RHODES fights for a loose ball Friday night in the
Climbers' varsity opener, against visiting Central Kitsap. The Climbers went
on to blow down the triple-A Cougs 72-44. At extreme left is Climber Jim

Shelton's 22-game basketball los-
ing string at last was broken when
the Highclimbers beat Sequim 40 to

the major factor in the victory. He

shorter Cou was tbrward Bill
McEIwee, who gives up at least
four inches of height to both of
his opposites, 6-4 Pat Rhodes
and 6-5 Todd Young.
Taking advantage of a fast
break that at times was as good
as it has been in years, the
Climbers jumped to a 34-21
halftime lead and moved away
steadily thereafter. Fine outlet
passes by frontliners Young and
Rhodes, especially, and good
point-guard play by first-time
starter Grant Fox led to a
number of breakaway hoops -
several off the fingertips of guard
O'DelI, whose 15-point total was
second only to teammate
Ashley's 18.
As for big Mike, his moments
were many. Twice he slapped
away Cougar shots that looked
for all the world to be foregone
conclusions. Both times the
deflected ball came down right
in the hands of a Climber.
But it was the 6-5 Ashley's
offensive showing that had the
capacity crowd bussing, and his
sky-high tip-in midway through
the second quarter was
exemplary of that display.
Senior guard Los Smith had
broken free with a steal and
popped a hanging 18-footer. I!
was to be his only miss of the
night.
Ashley, who'd been trailing
the play in third gear, me! the
ball at its apex, about three feet
from the bucket and probably a
foot or so above it, and launched
it with his fingertips in a
downward arch straight througil
the twine.
It was that crowd-pleaser
that sent the Climbers on their
biggest tear, a three-minute spurt
that extended a six-point led to
the 13-point advantage the hosts
enjoyed at the half.
Smith, plaYing relatively
briefly but with great offensive
efficiency, was the Climbers'
number-three scorer with eight
points. Young added seven,
Rhodes four and Fox two.
Climber fans had an
extended opportunity to see
Shelton's bench, too. Seeing
considerable playing time were
juniors Phil Franklin, John
Weber, Rusty Gigstead and Tad
Smith and sophomores Mark
Baker and Scott Eichhorn.
Franklin chipped in six
points and Gigstead, Smith and
Eichhorn four apiece, while
Eichhom was doubly impressive
in his show of composure in
handling the point-guard role,
beating the press with surprising
poise.
Shelton "also won Friday's
jayvee contest, toughing out a
51-45 decision over the Cougar
jayvees.
The Climbers' next action is
tomorrow night against the very
same Central Cougars -- this time
in Bremerton.
