Crane all-district Dickerson suffers heart attack By Allen Payne The opening game against the Arlington Colts. the team picked to win district and the team that won district. was an intense and exciting one. At the end of regulation time and five overtimes the score was still tied. Roger Watkins committed a despera- tion foul as time ran out in the fifth over- time, and the Colts Scott Iingle sunk his first free throw clenching Arlingtons first district win. Head Coach john Dickerson suffered a heart attack early Sunday morning following this Friday night game. He eventually recovered but was ordered not to coach for the remainder of the season although he did help coach the last Richland game, The Buffs went through two overtimes with Sam Houston and after having five overtime experiences still could not manage to win. The Buffs lost their remaining 10 district games. We were not able to rebound effectively against our taller opponents, especially while on the offensive. Also, when we needed two points in the last seconds to win a game no one would take control and make the last shot, said Coach Dickerson. jay Crane was named second team all- district, sophomore of the year, and was the third leading scorer of all-district players. He averaged 10.8 points and 5.6 rebounds a game, Darren Hooker averaged 11.5 points and 6.4 rebounds a game. Russel Starr, the third leading rebounder on the team averag- ed 9.4 points and 5.2 rebounds a game. Roger Watkins and Kenneth Burch averag- ed 3 points a game with Watkins pulling down 4.5 and Burch 1,4 rebounds a game! .. .-.f rw J .
