Granger high basketball camvictory over paign with a visiting East last Wednesday and, after winning just four games in all of last season, Lancer coach Ed Gray hopes the East win signals more to come. The Lancers will remain at home for their next contest, hosting Bingham on Friday at 7:30 p.m. in what should be another good test. Coach Gray is fully aware that the East game was the opener for both schools, but he also knows that East has a solid basketball program. We really needed this win and East is not a bad team to get it against, he reported. After winning only four games last year, getting the first one this season is very important for us. The key to the Lancer victory, according to Gray, was the 44 point performance of Granger's guard line, as Travis Langpap poured in 23 points and Steve Embley added 21. Travis hit four of our five Gray added, while Steve really took charge for us and showed opened the 1986-8- 7 74-6- 9 pre-leag- three-pointer- s, knit or - a lot of leadership. Gray was also pleased with the play of forward Paul Marsh, who chalked up 12 rebounds; Jake Shewmake, coming off the bench; Shane Nordfelt, who had 11 points and eight rebounds; and Tyler Wilder, a sophomore who played well at guard. The game was as close, all the way, as the final score.
