Palmer Moose Take Third in Western
Alaska Basketball Tourney Last Week
By Gene Rumpel
and Butch McKenzie
Putting the final on their
basketball season, the Palmer
Moose ended a three-game ser
ies in the Western Alaska high
school basketball tourney and
copped a third place.
As readers probably know,
the tournament play was some
what confused this year. With
the disqualification of the East
Anchorage T-Birds and Fair
banks Malemutes, the Palmer
team was able to grab its spot
even though losing three tour
nament games.
Thursday night’s game, which
normally would have eliminat
ed the Moose but didn’t be
cause of the disqualification of
the East T-birds, ended with
a score of 72-48, favoring East.
The Moose paced the East side
squad in the first period when
the buzzer stopped the scoring
at 18-18, and stayed in conten
tion until the half when t h e
score was 28-25. The Moose
thereafter suffered under the
T-Birds’ offense, paced by
Floyd Ladegard with 21 points,
Charles Felzien led the Moose
by dropping In 17 points.
Starting out with a technical
ly clean slate in the tournament
after the East game Thursday
night, the Moose came up
against West’s Eagles to be
put down 66-55.
Paced again by Charles Feb
zien with 20 points, the Moose
squad ran neck and neck with
Anchorage West in the first
period but failed to let the
larger Eagle squad fly by, lim
iting them to a 1-point lead at
halftime when the clocks show
ed a 23-24 score.
Pulling ahead the second
half of the game by gunning
past the Moose defense, the
Eagles were led by Anderson
and Strandberg with 15 and 13
points respectively.
Palmer’s final game of the
season against the win and lose
Kodiak Bears saw the Bears
areak the 2-2 record between
:he two teams with a 42-36 vic
;ory.
