Titus. lim This year's Lakeside basketball team established a reputation for themselves as a hot and cold ball club. They started the season slowly, but finally began to win: winding up the season-including tournament play-with a re:ord of 13 Wins and lO set-backs. The tournament in question was the West Central District Tourna- ment at Tacoma. We had qualified for this tourney by placing second among the B schools in the Lakeside League. One of the outstanding players was sophomore Bruce Bordeaux. Many times it was a case of Has Bordeaux goes, so goes Lakeside. When he was hot, he was hard to stop, but when he was cold, he was really cold. Ramsay and Odermat also accounted for their share of points. One of the high points of the season was an exciting 34-33 victory over Bothell on the latter's home court. Another exciting game was one 25-23 loss at Foster. The Winning Foster basket came simultaneously with the sounding of the final horn. There were many could have been higher. the tournament and We exciting moments this year. Although the percentage of wins the season could be termed successful. One more victory in would have been in the State HB Tournament.

.s as Lakeside 25-Tahoma 28 In a rough and ragged game that more resembled football than basketball the Lions dropped their opener to a scrappy Tahoma outfit. Ahead briefly in the third period, the Lions fell behind and faded badly in the final quarter. Lakeside 31-Mt. Vernon 34 In a non-league affair the men of Lakeside blew a 17 to 11 half time lead to lose out in the final moments to Mt. Vernon. Despite the defeat. this second game showed a decided improvement in all departments of play. Lakeside 23-Foster 25 Blowing a five point lead with one minute and fifty seconds of play, the Lakeside district tourna- ment hopes received a severe set back by this second straight NB school loss. A Foster shot, with the horn sounding while the ball was in mid air, provided victory for the Bulldogs as Lady Luck again deserted the Lions. Lakeside 44-Issaquah 20 Lakeside finally rang the bell with their first win of the season. The Lions forged to a half time lead of 19 to 7 and were never in danger after that. Bruce Bordeaux and Bill Bell shared scoring honors with eight points apiece. Lakeside 40-Meridian 22 Starting fast and gaining a lead of 11 to 2 at the end of the first quarter, the Lions showed their best basketball of the the season, particularly on defense, by trimming a good Meridian team. Bordeaux was high with 12. Lakeside 42-Tolt 20 The Lions journeyed to Tolt and' returned with their third straight B school victory of the season. The play of the Lakesiders was ragged and sloppy but a weak Tolt quintet made victory assured as the Lions took a 34 to 13 third quarter lead, leaving the reserves to finish up the contest. Paul Titus lead Lions scoring with 11 points. Lakeside 42--O'Dea 56 The Lions tangled with the O'Dea team and although losing by 14 points displayed their best shooting of the year and on two occasions drew up to within four points of the Irish, but fell behind in a couple of quick baskets by the O'Dea five. Bruce Bordeaux topped the Lions with 14. Seam Lakeside 17-Mt. Si 35 The Lions stumbled around as if in a 'afogi' and gave the Mt. Si Wildcats no trouble at all in an- nexing their third straight league victory. The Lake- siders were very disappointing in all departments of play as they registered the lowest total made by a Lakeside team in the past two years. Lakeside 419-Overlake 51 Throwing defense to the winds, the Leoman lost a high scoring affair to the Overlake squad at the Bellevue gym. This victory continued the domina- tion of the A schools over Lakeside. Scoring was equally divided among the five Lakeside starters. Lakeside 53-Tahoma 41 Running up the highest total made by a Lakeside aggregation in three years the Lions played excell- ent ball to top a stubborn Tahoma Bear. Coming from a 23 to 23 half time score with a brilliant third quarter the Lions went on to win handily. Martin Ramsay topped individual scoring with 17 points. Lakeside 44-Tolt 28 Starting slow but gaining momentum as the game progressed the Lakesiders repeated their early victory over the winless Tolt Demons. Vic Odermat with 10 points was high for both teams. Lakeside 38-Meridian 26 Dominating the backboards., the Lions came from a 19-16 halftime lead, to chalk up their second victory over the scrappy Meridians. The issue was in doubt going into the fourth quarter but holding Meridian to only four points in that quarter assured the Lions of victory. Bruce Bordeaux continued his consistent play by topping the Lion scoring with 14 points. Lakeside 38-Vashon 2 1 In a crucial league game the Lions dropped Vashon by showing an excellent defense. Lakeside put the game on ice by holding the Pirates to only seven points in the second half while racking up 19 them- selves. Bordeaux and Ramsey shared high point honors with thirteen apiece. Lakeside 34-Bothell 33 For the first time in many a contest Lakeside stopped the parade of AAU school victories by out- scrapping the Bothell Cougars. After holding a 29 to 18 half time edge only to see Bothell team forge ahead 33 to 32 with one minute to play, the Lakeside cause was very darkg however free throws by Bordeaux and Fratt, Frattis coming with eight seconds to play, provided victory.
