Palmer Loses
Junior Tourney
By One Point
Th» Junior high uchool b* k« >
ball tournament held at the Palm
er school gym Saturday afternoor
and evening, ended in a heart
breaking laM minute luw for
Palmer when their last push-ur
shot failed to score a win for thr
local youngster.*
Playing a clone game all the
way. the Palmer team competing
with the Anchorage Junior higii
school, co* winners of the after
noon games, opened the woriru
with the first 2-pomt basket
Scoring by both teams continued
close throughout the game Th<
last quarter found Palmer ahead
20-19. Three points made by the
Anchorage boys put them in «i
winning position With only M
seconds left in the game. Palmer
dropped in an excited basket but
failed in their last attempt at a
push-up shot, ending the game in
favor of Anchorage, 23-22. Foun
tain of Anchorage was high man
for his team with 15 points, Gary
Loyer made nine of Palmer’i
points.
The game was a result of the
tournament games held in the
afternoon when Wasilla and El
mendorf Junior high school teams
also participated. The Elmendori
team played a consolation game
Saturday evening when the Palm
er Freshman team, substituting
for Wasilla, easily scored a victory
over them with a score of 17-9. .
The tournament, the first of it:
kind in the Palmer school, was
reported as very successful. A
good sized crow^. lent their sup
port in the final evening games
and it is hoped that the tourna
ment may become an annual af
fair between Junior high schoo
teams, with additional teams par
ticipating in future years anc
after-game fun added for all par
ticipants. Norman. Rousey i:
coach for the Palmer Junior bas
ketball team. ;
