Spencer Ousts SMA
in Tourney Semi’s
Pirates Top Niobrara
in Finals
The St. Mary’s academy Card
inals dropped their semifinal go
to the highly touted Spencer Pi
rates last Thursday night in the
Niobrara Valley tournament. Off
to a good start, both teams traded
tuckets with Spencer going to the
lead at the quarter, 12-10, main
ly on gratis shots from the foul
line.
The Cardinals moved to the
fore, 16-12, then they suddenly
went cold and failed to hit for the
remainder of the half. The Pirates
rallied, to leave the floor at half
time with a comfortable 28-16
margin. The Cards quickly pick
ed up ground and reduced the Pi
rates’ lead to six points as they
hit three quick buckets. But
Spencer arose to the occasion and
with dead eye accuracy at the
freethrow line easily pulled away
from the Cardinals. The third
quarter ended, 47-26. Up to that
point the Cardinals had only one
chance from the freethrow line.
The Pirates dropped in 22 out of
32 gratis attempts.
Coach Don Templemeyer sub
stituted his second five at this
point but they were unable to
cope with the tall Spencer cagers
and dropped even farther behind
as the game progressed. The Pi
rates showed definite superiority
in the closing quarter.
In Thursday’s other semifinal
game, Niobrara turned back
Lynch, 40-35. Earlier, Lynch had
eliminated Verdigre and SMA had
defeated Butte.
* * *
SMA 43; Lynch 40
The finals were played Friday
night with the lofty Spencer Pi
rates emerging as champions, 54
34. The Spencer team simply had
too much class for the other en
tries and sport a fine ball club.
The Cards came from behind
Friday to nail down third place
in the tournament by defeating
Lynch, 43-40. The count was
knotted 10-10 at the end of
the first period. The Cards gained
a four-point margin to lead, 24-20,
at halftime. Wanser led the first
half attack with nine points.
The second half found the Cards
dropping behind to trail 34-32, at
the three-quarter mark. Lynch
pulled away to a five-point margin
late in the final period.
With less than a minute to go
and trailing by four, Cuddy hit a
set shot and Head followed with
a jump shot to tie the game at
40-all. St. Mary’s regained pos
session and were waiting for time
to run out before attempting their
final shot. Carson of Lynch jump
ed high to intercept a pass, and
drive the length of the floor for
what seemed to be the winning
goal. In doing so, he fouled Head,
thus his basket didn’t count, and
head, with six seconds remaining,
dropped in both chances, to put
the academy ahead, 42-40.
Schaffer stole the ball on the
pass-in and was fouled. David
made good one of his two chances
and the game was over before
Lynch could get into position to
take another shot.
Wanser and Head led the Card
inals with 13 points apiece. Cud
dy was next with 11.
The win over Lynch netted the
third place trophy.
