- the three-point shot. Two
of the three in the second
quarter were drained in the
final two minutes to help
with a 30-27 lead at half-
time. MSM finished the
game with seven treys.
Gorham scored 12 of
the Lady Demons' 14 third
quarter points as MSM had
no defensive answer inside.
Wensler was the other
scorer as she and Gorham
gave P-T another short-
lived lead of 31-30 early
in the quarter. MSM used
a late run to gain a 43-41
lead heading into the fourth
quarter.
P-T didn't notch its first
three-point goal until the
fourth quarter and the two
recorded provided critical.
Stansberry drained the
first one from the baseline
to give the Lady Demons a
44-43 lead. After two more
layups from Gorham inside,
Adkism bombed another
trey from the opposite
baseline, which gave the
Lady Demons the lead for
good.
MSM experienced a
scoring meltdown and
went without a point for
just over four minutes late
in the fourth quarter. The
Lady Demons couldn't
fully take advantage of that
misfortune, especially from
the free throw line. Three
straight charity misses kept
the Lady Rockets' hopes

"We need to improve
in all phases offensively.
We're not hitting as well
as we thought we would
and we're not running the
bases well or moving run-
ners," Coach Holt added.
"I'm a little surprised
that we're not hitting any
better than we are. We
are struggling in so. me
key spots, but we've got
talented players in those
spots and I'm sure it will
improve."
Injuries have taken its
toll on SHS, not only on
the varsity level but the
junior varsity level as well.
Senior catcher/pitcher
Parker Zimmerman, a
Wichita State signee, has
yet to play because of a
back problem.
Besides Zimmerman,
SHS lost Corbin Schmidt
and Tyler Burnett for the
season. Out for extended
stays are Nick Hollman
and Sam Kraybill.
"We've been ham-
mered by injuries," Coach
Holt said. "It's hurt us on
the varsity level, both with
starters and backups, and
it's hurt our JV team. We
should get Parker back in a
B1
alive as P-T was maintain-
ing a 53-47 lead.
Wensler finally put the
game away hitting 2-of-4
free throws in the final 30
seconds that led to the 55-
50 final score.
Gorham was the only
player in double figures
for either team. She was
also rewarded for her tour-
nament performance by
being named to the Class
4A all-tournament team.

"Jon Littell (sophomore
outfielder/infielder) is
having some arm prob-
lems, but he can still swing
the bat. I feel terrible for
those kids having to miss
this much time.
"On the positive side,
we've had some guys step
up for us, guys like Michael
Higgins at catcher," the
coach added. "He was on
JV at the start of the season
but we moved him up after
a couple of injuries and he's
played extremely well as
our starting catcher."
After having a Monday
game cancelled, the Pio-
neers returned to action
this past Tuesday against
Ponca City. SHS entertain
Tulsa Edison for a double-
header tonight, starting at
5 p.m. This weekend, the
Pioneers will journey to
Phoenix, Ariz., for spring
break.
"Overall, we're really
pleased with our start,
but we know we can play
better" coach Holt said.
"I'm looking forward to
the rest of the season and I
know the kids are too."

Against Missouri, the
Tigers shot lights out from
the field hitting nearly 60
percent of their shots. That
helped Missouri roll to a
49-24 lead over the Cow-
boys at halftime. However,
OSU finished strong with a
46-39 second half advan-
tage that trimmed a portion
of the deficit away.
Page put an exclamation
point on his storied career

with 22 points. Williams
followed with 21 while
Brown added 12.
The Cowboys will bring
back a wealth of talent
along with new recruits
that will surely help. That
could put more pressure on
Ford to produce a winner
and get the program back
on track. No one can put
the blame on him for what
happened this season with
the possible exception to
the two defections.
Only time will tell.
