NHS TAKES SECOND
IN CITY LEAGUE
With a win over ANB and a
10-7 record, the Nome High Na
nook took over undisputed posses
sion of the runner-up spot in the
final City League standings last
night.
The Manooks had a cinch tie for
second even if they lost, but their
win coupled with the Jaycee loss
to the Merchants gave NHS a two
game advantage in the final stand
ings. The Nanooks haven’t lost
since the double overtime defeat
to the Jaycees Jan. 15.
Nome’s Merchants doubled their
winning output for the season with
a decisive 63-47 clobbering of the
shorthanded Jaycees.
In the Nanooks - ANB encounter
the high schoolers started with a
15-11 first quarter lead, out-de
fensed their foes to a 29-15 half
time margin, and coasted to 55-43
victory.
Coach Pete Hahn used reserves
the final period and the Nanooks
second line outscored their oppo
nents 13-6 in that stanza. Steff
Andersen was again a “demon”
on the backboards, hauling in 22
rebounds and scoring 16 points.
Stan Andersen picked off 13 re
bounds and jammed in 12 points.
The Nanook defense held the us
ually high scoring Lincoln Trigg
and Jake Titus to 6 and 9 points
respectively.
The Merchants racked up their
second win of the season in the
finale with a convincing 63-47 tri
umph over the Jaycees. The Jay
cees got off to a good start and
led 18-4 at the first quarter. The
second quarter was disastrous for
the losers when they were all but
shut out of the scoring column.
Only Bob Harwood’s free throw
kept the Jaycees from registering
zero for the second period.
The winners held a 29-19 half
time advantage and increased that
spread to 16 points in the last two
periods.
