Nome High School
Edges CAP In First
Half Hoop Playoffs
By HERB WILLIAMS
The Nome High School won the
City League Holiday Basketball
Tournament in a thrilling cham
pionship game against their old
rivals, the Civil Air Patrol, 25 to
24 last Friday night. The game
was played at the base gym, scene
of the three-day tournament. Al
though the score wasn’t too high
as basketball games go, the action
was fast and furious.
Gil Ozenna of the high school
was high point man for the game
with 12 points, Harold Bell paced
the losers with six.
One important bearing on the
^ame was in the second period
when the CAP could not find the
range and were unable to score
in that quarter.
Another sidelight of the game
was the three brother combina
tions on the floor. The high school
had Clarence and Milton Willoya,
Pete Larson from the winners and
Isaac Larsen on the losers. Also,
George Bell for the Polar Bears
and Harold and Johnny Bell for
the Patrol.
The next basketball game will
open the second half of the season
this Friday at the high school, the
teams to be announced in the
next issue of the Nugget.
