Stuart Underlings
Capture Thriller
STUART — A thriller basket
ball game was played here Sat
urday night when the Atkinson
Balers and the Stuart Broncos
battled for first place in the post
poned North-Central Nebraska
Conference freshman-sophomore
basketball tourney. Stuart tripped
Atkinson, 57-56, in an overtime
game.
Stuart jumped to early first and
second quarter leads only to fall
behind by six points to a determ
ined Atkinson outfit winner of 12
straight games this year.
The battle seesawed throughout
the game with six points repre
senting the biggest lead by either
team.
Stuarts’ cause seemed lost mid
way through the fourth quarter
as two regulars, Mike Batten
horst and Bert Stratka, fouled out
but in the end it was substitute,
Don Schmaderer who sent the
game into overtime by dropping
a charity toss with 20 seconds left
to give a 50-50 tie at the end of
regulation time.
The three minute overtime was
a ding-dong affair with Stuart
taking the lead on a jump shot by
Del Stracke, sophomore guard.
Seger hit for Atkinson and sub,
Don Minnig, pumped in a set shot
for Stuart. Frickel hit a lay up
for Atkinson and again Stracke
pumped in a 10 foot jump but
Seger cashed in on two free
throws to tie the score with 15
seconds left.
Dana Bigelow, Stuart’s re
bounding freshman, was fouled
on a jump shot as the buzzer
sounded and calmly dunked the
first free throw to give Stuart the
victory.
It was a fine game by two very
excellent teams, giving Stuart its
lone first place trophy in NCNC
competition in five years.
Stuart led, 11-10, at the first
quarter; 28-22 at the half; and
the count was tied 39-all at the
end of the third.
Del Stracke, Stuart’s guard hit
17 with promising D. Biglow, 16.
Seger, rugged Atkinson center
was outstanding with 25 and a
fine rebounding job.
