Lions bring home
Borah's mighty hoopsters
tate trophy
broke past a stubborn Twin
quintet 55-51 to claim he
State A-1 Championship last
Saturday night at Pocatello.
Twin garnered the runner-up
trophy while Caldwell troun-
ced Blackfoot for third place
honors.
The trophy is the first of its
kind to enter the halls of Borah
and also falls into the hands
of an area that has not had the
number one team for 15 years.
The Lion squad (also rated
number one by the AP poll)
finished the season with an out-
standing 24-1 record, the best
in Borah's history.
Borah managed to hold the
lead most of the way, but Twin
never fell far behind until the
final moments.
G:try Freeman bucketed 8 field
goals and hauled down 16 re-
bounds to pace the Lion victory,
while Jack Smith added 14 points
and took down 14 rebounds. Jim
Hill tossed in 13 points and Dick
Danleis chipped in 12.
Although only scoring 5 points,
Steve Preece led the Lion de-
fensive efforts.
George Smith led the Bruins
with 18 points, while Kirk Wil-
liams (voted SIC most valuable
player) canned 17 to assist
Smith.
LIONS CONQUER VIKINGS
Borah squeezed past Coeur
d'Alene 55-52 in the semi-finals
March 12. The Vikings retired
to the locker rooms at the half
with a 12 point lead which in-
crea.ed to 14 in the third period.
A fired up Lion team grad-
ually lessened the point span to
10 at the end of the third quar-
ter. Midway through the fourth
quarter the Lions caught up and
the lead changed lmds several
times before the Lions spurted
ahead to win.
Gary Freeman again took scor-
ing honors with 17 points. Jack
Smith tipped in 11 points and
Jim Hill made five baskets to
place in double figures.
Jack Smith paced the Lion
quintet to a 71-62 opening day
win over Blackfoot March 11.
Smith canned 27 points to tie the
Borah high-scoring record pre-
viously set by Bill Farley.
Borah found the going rough
for the first three quarters be-
fore the Lions finally forged to
a steady lead in the fourth.

Cubs make
9-8 record
for season
Borah Cubs ended the season
with a 9-8 slate and a "much
improved ball team," according
to sophomore mentor Raymond
Hill.
"We lacked height, but the
boys made up for it with their
determination and hustle. I feel
that we played good offense and
the defense looked much better
towards the end of the year,"
the coach stated.
"A s f 0 r
good material,
we had our
share of that
too'," he con-
tinued. "Gary
Powell, lead-
ing cub scorer
.... seemed to be
the best prospect for a varsity
position next year, while center
Keith Hessing turned out to be
our most improved player, sup-
porting a 13.0 game average.
"I felt the loss of Terry Hunt,
who moved to Las Vegas. He
kept a 19.0 scoring pace and
would have been a great help
to the team."
Hill also cited Dennis Pooley
as having tremendous compet-
itive drive. "Bob Hall, Bill Terrill
and Pat Johnson were mainstays
in our attack and should also
be commended," he went on.
Guard Larry Bishop was picked
by Hill as the best defensive man
in the club.
