pair of basketball games with
the Ft. Greely Grizzlies on Fri

7th and 8th of December. In
the first game the Grizzlies

pressing zone. Wasilla couldn’t
connect on their passes with
several baskets scored after the
error by Greely.

In the second game the War
riors came back to beat the
Grizzlies 47 to 45 in a bet
ter game. In the final game
two men fouled out for
both teams. The score was
much closer all the way,
providing excitement for the
small crowd that was present
despite the high winds. The
games were held up by an elec
trical shortage for a short time.
The Warriors, coach and staff
of the Wasilla High School
would like to have the bleach
ers filled for every game. Since
they have the new gym and
seating is comfortable, you can
see the game from almost any
spot in the bleachers so do come
to the games and support these
boys. The Warriors will play
the Copper Valley Bucks De
cember 14 and 15 at the new
gym. They stayed on top of
the Bucks three out of four
games last season and this year
they still need your support to
stay on top.
On December 27 the Wasilla
High girls team will play the
Wasilla Alumni women and
the boys will play an Alumni
mens team. This should be one
of the best, be sure you are
there.

Wind damage was very
heavy in the Wasilla area last ,
week-end. Most serious was the
loss of the Frank Crawford
home about 7:30 p.m. It was oc
cupied at the time but no one
was injured.
The highway on the south
side of Lake Wasilla was clos
ed at intervals due to blowing
snow. However, Terry Roth
had the solution to that. Instead
of waiting, he drove to Wilii
waw and crossed on the ice to
get home on time. Minor dam
age included loss of tin from
several roof tops, plastic green
houses, garage doors and exter
ior plumbing facilities.
See you at Bingo, V.F.W.
