Crusaders Capture First Wilco League Crown in ll Years Jesuit, riding the crest of three straight first-half ending vic- tories swept through the second half of Wilco action unde- feated. With 9 points against The Dalles as the shortest margin of victory and the average win of 19, the Crusaders developed a winning formula of press, rebound, shot, rebound, that car- ried them to their first Wilco Championship in 11 years of play, and their third trip to the State A-l Tourney in three consecutive years. Coach Gordon Carrigan molded his team into an aggressive group, topped by a tough full-court press. Hot-handed Leo Bauer and Brian Doherty led the scoring the second half with Bruce Harrington and lanky Jeff Walter taking control under the basket. An outstanding zone defense developed by the Crusaders during the Christmas vacation forced teams to take the outside shot. This defense was especially effective against Wy'East. After placing first in the second half, the Crusaders met first- half kingpin Silverton for the Wilco league championship. The defense-minded Foxes and sputtering Jesuit offense kept the scoring low. But in the final quarter the Crusaders came from behind to walk away with a 38-37 victory. On the following Wednesday, the Crusaders tangled with the Panthers of Central Monmouth for a state tournament berth. Central, in the playoffs for the tourney spot by virtue of their first-half second place, had lost their second-half encounter three weeks earlier to the Crusaders by 19 points. By outjumping and outscoring the Panthers, the Crusaders took a 28-19 halftime advantage. With four players hitting in double figures, and led by Walter's 17 counters, the Crusaders pulled away to a 78-50 win and headed once again for the State Tourney at the Glass Palace.
