Co;seum oser n tourney
Well, the State High School Basketball
Tournament is over. Damage costs and fatalities
on the UNL campus have not been tabulated, but
it looks as if the campus buildings were the only
things the high schoolers didn't try to take home
in their pockets.
One building that's probably the worst for
wear is the Coliseum. It doesn't really matter; the
tourney was most likely the last competitive
event the "Vine Street Barn" will ever host.
Central "A" victor
Omaha Central emerged the victor in class A
with, a 47-38 win over Omaha Creighton Prep
Saturday night. Husker coach Moe Iba called
Central a high school team as good as any that
can be found in the nation, including Illinois and
Indiana, reputedly the nation's best basketball
states.
All out-state teams in class A were eliminated
the first day. Lincoln Southeast won nomination
for "choke of the year" by holding a 22-point
lead over Omaha Burke midwav through the
game, but lost 66-59.

Competing with Southeast for the choke title
would have been Louisville. However, the Lions
somehow managed to win class C with three
one-point wins (41-40 over Wood River,
Thursday; 57-56 over Friend, Friday; and a
48-47 win over Grant in the finals, Saturday).
Opponents falter
Louisville blew a 19-point lead against Grant,
and a 15-point lead over Friend in that game.
Both times, the opponents caught up by the
middle of the fourth quarter, only to falter.
But the best example of Louisville's luck came
in the first game against Wood River. Holding a
one-point lead with just over a minute to go,
Louisville got the ball, and coach Fred Applegate
told his team to stall for the last shot. However,
it was Applegate's son Stacy, a guard on the
team, who missed a shot from the top of the key
with 50 seconds left. Wood River got the ball,
stalled for the last shot and missed on the
attempt. It was fortunate for young Applegate,
who might have been looking for a new home if
Wood River had won.
Crete won class B with a 75-57 win over
Omaha Tech. Crete played two close games also
(65-62 over Sidney and 62-60 over West Point
Central Catholic in the semifinals), en route to
the finals.
Tech's first "B" season
Tech, in the first season as a class B school,
came from behind in the first two games, but
failed to pull the trick in the finals with Crete.
In class D, Shickley set two scoring records
while wrapping up the title Saturday with a
7142 win over Sterling. The Longhorns set an
all-class record for number of points scored in a
single game Friday, when they scored 94 points
against Litchfield. Their three-game total of 234
points was also a record. The scoring output was
considerable, since high school teams play eight
minutes per game less than college teams, and
unlike the Big 8 conference, there's no 30-second
shot clock.
