Thunderbirds Thump Kodiak’s Bears;
Play Seahawks At Home This Week
Thunderbirds are bigger than
Bears, and taller too. Proof of this
was so evident last weekend when
the powerful East Anchorage
Thunderbirds trimmed the Kodiak
Bears, 64 to 41, Friday night, and
again Saturday, 60 to 45.
The towering Thunderbirds,
classed as the powerhouse of State
high school cage circles, showed
its power, but its winning cause
was helped considerably by the
failure of the Bears to find the
basket at critical times in the
games each night.
Coach Terry McMullen’s charges
hit for only 11 field goals Friday,
compared to East’s 26. Then Sat
urday, after a fast and furious sec
ond period, the Bears scored nary
a two pointer in the third quarter.
CLOSER SATURDAY
Saturday found the play much
closer, but somewhat more ragged
for the Thunderbirds, as the Bears
pressed the taller opposition more
than on Friday night.
Forward Wayne Kozak led his
teammates Friday with 10 points,
and Stan Sargent was high for the
Bears Saturday with 14.
Both nights Kodiak drew first
blood and flipped in the final
points of the games, but in between
times things were unbearable.
The Thunderbirds’ superior
height and effective passing
against the Bears’ zone defense
gave the visitors the opportunities
to control both games.
East Coach Earle Walker used
his second stringers a great part
of the second half in each game.
Bear Coach McMullen countered
with subs in the Friday game,
when the cause for victory was
lost, but Saturday he played his
starting five right down to the last
minute, when he pulled Richie
Mize and replaced him with Cletus
Leverett.
East Anchorage big scorers were
Terry Gose, the little spark plug
guard, Friday with 15, and on Sat
urday, Floyd Ladegard and Ray
Barrett with 17 points each.—D.B.

Bears Close Out
Home Conference
Play This Week j
Kodiak’s Bears with a 6-6 prep I
record and a 4-2 South Central |
Conference record giving them
the runnersup spot take on the
Seward Seahawks at home to
night and Saturday in what
promises to be two of the closest
games of the year.
Although the Bears beat Sew
ard on their home grounds 51-36
and 58-39 in November, the Sea
hawks have shown steady im
provement since that time—so
much improvement in fact that
they upset Kenai last week to
hand the league-leading Kenai
Kardinals their only loss in con
ference action.
Meanwhile the hapless Bruins
have dropped their last six after
winning that same number to
start off the season.
This weekend’s games are the
last conference games in the
Bears’ den this year. Remaining
on the schedule are a pair of
settoes at Homer on Feb. 8-9 and
another two cracks at the Kenai
Kardinals in Kenai the following
weekend, Feb. 15-16.
The Jayvees will play a prelim
inary game tonight.
