Nanooks and ANB
Win Close Ca^e Battles
Basketball fans got their money’s
worth last night as two of the best
games of the season were played
at Nome High School. NHS and
ANB were the victors in a pair
of contests that were each won by
two points.
Nome High ended front-running
Polar’s winning streak at seven
when they took a two-point deci
sion over the once-beaten Hornets.
The Hornets’ lone loss was to the
Jaycees early in the season. Polar
now has a 9-2 record, and the
Nanooks 6-7.
The game was close all the way.
The teams were tied 14-14 at the
first quarter, then Polar took leads
of 30-27 at the half and 40-36 at
the end of the third quarter. Nome
High’s defense threw a net over the
Polars in the final period allowing
them only one field goal. Mike
Cannon shot the Nanooks into the
lead with a pair of fielders in the
final minutes of the quarter to
give Nome High a 44-42 win.
Steff Andersen was high scorer
with 13 points for the Nanooks.
Richard Atuk and Cannon each
had 10. For the Hornets it was
Steve Wilson with 14 and Wiley
Scott with 10. Usually high scoring
Tony Willoya was held to six
counters. Steff Andersen did an
other superb job on the backboards
picking off 24 rebounds.

close with ANB winning in double
overtime 46-44. J. Titus chucked
in the winning basket in the sec
ond extra period. The game was
tied 44-44 at the end of the regu
lation time. In the first overtime
neither team was able to score.
