the quick tempo
to capitalize on numerous
gimmes.
Todd Higgins was the
benefactor of the Dale
press, because when P-T
beat the defense, he was
usually wide open under
the bucket. He dropped in
eight points in the first
period. Steve McDaniel
banked in a jumper near
the end of the period to
give P-T a 22-12 lead.
In the second period,
with some questionable
officiating now becoming
obvious, the Demons saw
Dale reel off the first
seven points of the period.
The officials seemed to
have the theory, "no
blood, no foul," and the
two teams could have
easily been mistaken for
playing another sport had
they worn pads and
helmets.
With the score 22-16, a
Dale player was called for
clipping and McKosato
was called for a technical.
Dale converted both the
free throws and the basket
to make the score 22-19.
That's when the Dem-
ons, who had not been
pressed effectively all
year, went out of "sync.
The Pirates forced four
straight turnovers and
before the period was over
they had outscored P-T
28-9 and led at the half,
31-40.
The third period was
more of the same for this
side of the Demons. But
right before the period
ended the Demons trans-
formed back into the
hustling, stealing, de-
fense-playin'-shooters
that they started out the
game being.
After falling behind by
18 points in the third
period, 35-53, the Demons
battled back to close the
gap to 43-55 at the end of
the quarter.
P-T finally adjusted to
the street-ball rules the
officials were using and
started to use them in
their advantage. The
Demons unleashed a press
of their own and pulled to
within six 57-63 on a Scott
Briggs' free throw.
The Demons comeback
gave visions of last year's
cardiac kids, who made a
habit of coming from
behind to win. But this
year's team lacks the
experience to pull these
games out of the bag.

When McKosato hit a
three-point play at the
3:09 mark, the Demons
had cut the Pirate lead to
64-62.
P-T even took the lead
for a brief moment when
Higgins was leR unattend-
ed under the basket and
McKosato hit him with a
fullcourt length pass and
he layed it in to give P-T a
68-67 lead.
But Dale came right
back to take the lead as a
Pirate took the ensuing
inbounds rass and raced
down court and hit a
baseline jumper. ARer
McDaniel, who was instru-
mental in the Demon
comeback bid, missed a
crucial free throw, the
Demons were forced to
foul Dale.
With the score 70-74,
Rex Branstetter made a
steal but couldn't connect
with the shot with only :10
left. Briggs, aRer a missed
Pirate free throw, hit an
uncontested lay-up at the
buzzer for the final points.
McKosato led P-T with
22 points, followed by
Higgins with 18, McDaniel
with 13, Mark Littlefield
scored 10, and Briggs had
9.

Before Christmas the
7th and 8th grade science
classes sent letters and
Christmas cards to the
men and women in the Air
Force, Army, Navy, and
' the Marines overseas. The
science teacher, Mrs.
Harris, got the address out
of the Stillwater News-
Press.
Each person who want-
ed to wrote a letter to
somebody. They enclosed
their own address so the
person could write back.
Cheri Johnson's letter has
already been answered
from a soldier in Grenada.
He was formerly from
Tulsa.
Mrs. Harris furnished
the Christmas cards and
the envelopes. The Spider
Newspaper paid for the
postage.
We hope this brighten-
ed the Holidays for the
many people overseas.
The Demonettes played
the Dale Lady Pirates a
close game until the last
quarter when the Demon-
ettes were forced to foul
and ended up losing big,
25-43, dropping their
record again making it 2-8.
This defeat was the
Demonettes second at the
hand of the Lady Pirates
for this season. Although
they weren't beaten as
badly the second time and
played a much better
ballgame, it still goes in
the loss column.
"The guards domina-
ted, playing an outstand-
ing ballgame and the
forwards showed signs of
improvement. The players
coming off the bench
looked impressive," com-
mented Coach Frazier.
The first half went
pretty well for the
Demonettes; they manag-
ed to keep it very close.
The first half score was
only 9-14, Dale with the
lead. Julie Payne had 6 of
the 9 points to keep the
Demonettes in.
The second half started
out pretty well as Julie
Payne continued to keep
the Demonettes in, and
Laura Littlefield checked
in and scored impressively
for the Demonettes.
The final quarter was
where the Demonettes lost
it. The game was close but
the Demonettes were still
trailing and were forced to
foul in a final attempt to
beat the Lady Pirates and
were beaten on free
throws, the final 25-43.
