asketball The Bronco basketball season brought shock and surprise to many. Pre-rated as number seven in the league, Coach Woods expected his young team to be a year away from state competition. The season opener with Central Catholic brought a surprising 53-50 victory to Parkrose as the Rams gave a poor performance and fell apart defensively in the second half. The tide turned, however, in the following game, with Beaverton's 63-52 upset. The big difference in floor play seemed to be in turnovers, as Parkrose tossed away 42 balls to the Beavers' 28. Jim Over landed two free-throws in the final seven seconds of overtime for the next Parkrose win, over Aloha, 54-52. Aloha led most 'of the game until Warrior Bob Stender fouled out with live minutes left to play and twenty-one points to his credit. Overtime buckets by Ron Albertson and Cal Abts were also important in gaining this victory. Jesuit Coach Carrington quipped, We were flatter than pancakes out there tonight! , referring to his boys, the pre-season picks for the Metro title. The Broncs took the lead throughout the game, however, outhustling the Crusaders with a creditable mobility on defense. Jesuit's 18 fouls over Parkrose's 8 helped the Broncs slice the win 56-55. Hillsboro couldn't hit from the field and neither the Spartans nor the Broncos could lob sinkers from the free-throw line in the next match. Parkrose easily took the game 61-36, with strong rebounding. Lake Oswego set up a tough defense to lead throughout the Bronco-Laker clash. Parkrose nearly caught up as the buzzer gave the Broncs a 36-35 loss. David Douglas added another downer for the Broncos as foul trouble benched three starters: Ron Albertson, Jeff Butts and Mike Kehrli. Parkrose rallied late but fell 67-60. A sloppy defense and lack of incentive seemed to be the pitfalls in the last game of the first half. Sunset took Parkrose 65-50, leaving them with a 4-win, 4-loss record. Central Catholic again met defeat in the second half as the Bones rallied with fine defensive efforts and backboard play. Kehrli was credited with 20 points in the 70-58 win. Overtime again gave the Broncos a lease on victory, as Jim Murphy bagged two free-throws with 50 seconds left in the Parkrose-Beaverton game. Parkrose outscored the Beavers 48-47, as sophomore Jeff Butts tallied 24 points for an all-season high. Kehrli hit 22 counters in the next victory over Aloha, 74-56, and teamed with Jeff Butts to control the backboards. Then Bronco Improvement and poise combined to create the first home court loss for Jesuit since their 1964-65 season in the Wilco league. Woods added, Our first half experiences helped us mature into a tougher teamf' This 59-50 win gave Parkrose first place standings within the Metro league, which they strengthened by overcoming Hillsboro again, 63-50. Making headlines, Parkrose then downed arch-rival David Douglas with a 63-53 runoff, gaining praise for their quickness and leaping ability. Both coaches agreed as to the key play was a steal and lay-in by Craig Merrill at mid-court early in the fourth period. In the middle of the third quarter, a 32-32 knot was broken in a six-minute explosion with four Bronco buckets from the 15-20 foot range and four lay-ins. This left the score 49-38, the largest margin achieved by Parkrose. This 6-0 second half winning streak was finally marred when Lake Oswego stifled Parkrose 61-39, but the Broncs retaliated the next week with what Woods called, ffOne of our best games, particularly on defense and plain effort. Paul Schuberg, with his long shots, and Jeff Butts, with his board show Q12 rebounds and 17 pointsj were keys to the 52-46 victory over the Metro Champs from Sunset. This win earned Parkrose a 7-1 second half record and a play-off with David Douglas for the Metro league runners-up. The following Tuesday at Reynolds High School, emotions erupted as Jim Murphy's free-throw tipped the 2nd place Metro berth to Parkrose in the run-off with D.D. Victorious and ecstatic, Parkrose fans swamied onto the court to end the game 55-54 following Murphy's successful 1-and-1 foul shot, gained as time ran out in the three minute overtime. Woods could not explain the win, Both teams played just great defense. It was the best defensive game live ever seen. The Scot's Truman Osburn accounted it to, You've got to be lucky as well as good. We probably got as many breaks as they did, but we didn't get them in the clutch that counted. The Broncs threatened to blow the game open early and again late, but the Scots battled back both times. Parkrose led by as many as eight points in the first quarter, but DD recovered to a 21-21 halftime tie. Taking charge again in the early fourth,Parkrose was then stifled and a 40-40 tie ended regulation play. Murphy staked a four point overtime lead, which was matched by two quickies from Scot Greg Horner. This left 24 seconds to go and set the stage for Murphy's heroic wrap-up. Benson ended the state AAA league competition with its first AAA championship and a 57-53 win over Grant. Young and inexperienced, Parkrose did an impressive job at state although they dropped out early in the tourney. We,ve been a dark horse all year. Coach Woods said, summing up the trip to the state tourney, f'It's been a great season getting heref' We put a scare into themf' Woods commented, on the opening round with Grant at the Memorial Coliseum, lt could have gone either way. It was the PIL champions from Grant, however, who bettered the Broncos, 45-42. The Generals held a 25-23 edge at the half and pushed ahead in the third quarter with a switch to man-to-man defense from a zone. Parkrose missed its first nine shots in this period and spent the remainder of the game trying to catch up. The Broncs were credited, however, forcing Grant outside, staying tough, and playing the boards. Jeff Butts hooked 13 rebounds while Mike Kehrli nabbed 7 rebounds and 13 points. Parkrose was then dropped from the tourney as South Salem's tenacious man-to-man defense forced the Broncos into 28 costly turnovers. Intermission saw Parkrose trailing only 24-18, but the Saxons turned on the heat in the second half to take the game with a generous lead, 61-48. Jeff Butts took a tourney-high 17 rebounds while Mike Kehrli pulled through 14 pointers. Coach Bill Brady, of this year's Junior Varsity Basketball Team, gave a quick resume of their season, stating, s'We had a very balanced team in scoring and rebounding. It seemed that we had a different leader in these areas every ball game. Because of desire and L
