On this occasion, Christianson again had the opportunity to win the game from the line, but he missed a pair in the final moments of regulawas tion time. His game-winnsimply a clutch play. Time was running out and he was covered. He ducked around his man and threw up a prayer. It was answered. It overshadowed a gritty comeback by Cottonwood and a dominating effort by Pirate Gerry 4-- 59-5- handed Granite a 8 homecourt loss. That left the Pirates with a two-gaedge over Granite, Cottonwood, Granger and Skyline, all tied at The Bucs could solidify their hold on second tomorrow (Friday) when they host Skyline.

Matheson answered with a bucket and a controversial pair of charity tosses when Breinholt was whistled for a foul jockeying for position on the inbounds play. That set the stage for Christianson. Holman led all scorers with 25 (11, 3x5) points and 15 boards. Whenever the Bucs seemed in need of a bucket, he whirled around and scored. Christianson added 12 (6,0x2) and Sheppick eight.

Jason and Colts were hurt by a host of traveling calls early in the contest. game, but every time they would get up by eight, Cottonwood would roar back, partly because Gust was having an off night offensively and the Pirate play became tentative. After leading 2 at the half, the Bucs saw the Colts come back. It was going into the final eight minutes, but Cottonwood began hitting the outside jumper, with Boyd Matheson, Jason Nelson and Steve Shone all hitting key shots.

The Pirates threw an effective defense at the Farmers, which g limited Steve Trost to three points, and didnt let Ben Curtis run wild inside. The Bucs might have made a rout of it if they could have hit some wide open shots in the first half, but they had to come from behind. They were good shots, they just wouldnt fall, Wilson reflected. Granite opened up a 14-- 9 lead at the end of the first canto, with Sammy Lee having the hot hand. Cyprus began to take the ball inside in the second canto, but Granite was able to maintain the edge, taking a 4 lead into the locker room. The Farmers were patient and controlled the tempo. The Pirates climbed back into the contest in the third period by outscoring their hosts 10-- and when lead, they were they got a content to let' the Farmers pass the ball around.
