In our hearts there will always be a warm spot for Eunice; she always had a pleasant smile for everyone. She was Southern Ute Fair Queen for two years, and she was active in all school activities. I M We bow our heads with sincere sorrow. It is hard for us to express the loss of you, with whom we have walked and shared so much. While you sleep with no backward glance, we who are left, must learn a lonely lesson. Our memories of you, in our hearts, will be forever tucked away . 8 President 1, 4; Student Council President 1; Student Council Vice President 4; Student Council Member 1, 2, 4; Band 1.

The girls are, from left, Bernice Romero, 16; Martha Begay, 17, and Corinne Duran, 17. Ignacio’s players are the smallest in the tournament but can run up pretty big scores. —Rocky Mountain News Photo by Dick Davis. Ignacio's Indians Scalping Opponents By LARRY PEARSON Rocky Mountain News Writer The tiny dark-«yed, dark-haired, copper-skinned girl raced deliriously across the basketball floor and flung herself against the blond giant whose pale skin glistened with sweat. And she wasn’t alone. Many other raven-haired rooters — and a few blonds — also dashed across the floor to embrace their Sir Galahads — the seven American Indians and three Anglo-Saxons who are carrying Ignacio High School’s banners to the Colorado State High School Basketball Tournament now throbbing in Denver. Most Coloradans don’t know Ignacio from Idalia. Ignacio is a tiny farming-ranen-ing community on the Southern Ute Indian Reservation — about 370 road miles southwest of Denver. It’s just about as far as you can get from Denver and still be in Colorado. The Only Team Ignacio probably is the only team in the State Basketball Tournament that is spearheaded by four wing-footed, ball-hawking native Americans. They dashed, twirled, fast-broke and passed to an impressive victory over a much taller and heavier pale-face team from Hoehne in Aurora High School’s gym. Hoehne is a few miles northeast of Trinidad in Southern Colorado. Final score: 55-37. And when the final buzzer sounded, about 200 students and a few adults from the tiny town hard by the New Mexico border streamed onto the floor. V The boys were mobbed by the wild-eyed girls. It was sweet victory for a team from, the boon-docks of the colorful country near the Four Corners. One down . . . and two to go for a state championship in the Class B Division. It was a team victory, but a handsome Seneca from the plains of Oklahoma turned the game into a rout in the final moments. A Sixth Sense? Seemingly sensing the trajectory of each Hoehne pass, 18-year-old Clyde Peacock often danced into an intercepting position. From there, his speed and drive made another score inevitable. Ignacio High School has 165 students. All seemingly were in the cheering section. They leaped in roaring unison each time a basket was dunked by Roland Weaver, Lloyd Bekis, Calvin Joe, Henry Jim, Lloyd Smith. Herbert Francis, all Navajos: and by Clyde Peacock, the Seneca, or by Bill Mangum, Charles Pennell or Larry Garner. whose forefathers came from the Old World. “They’re ery good athletes,” said Coach Wayne Cope, 28, a graduate of East Central State College at Ada, Okla. “They love to play, and are willing to learn. They’re fine boys to coach,” he said. The team has worked smoothly as a unit all season, he said, winning 18 games and losing only two in the 6-team San Juan Basin B League. Vo Bad Feeling “There has been no dissension, no bad feeling.’ He said the Navajo boys usually go home to their families at Ship-rock or Farmington. N.M., during tho summers. “Thev have wonderful co-ordination.” said Toby Vigil, 35, assistant coach, whose B squad com-oPed a 17-won, 1-loss record during rhe season. On March 2. one end of the Ignacio High School gym was burned out in an electrically caused fire. “We had to practice without lights the last three weeks,” Coach Cope said. “But the boys accepted this as a challenge.” Whether they win or lose during their final tournament games, the Ignacio basketball players already have experienced the high point of their young lives. And when their 160 student followers pile into four buses for the trip back to the enchanted land not far from Mesa Verde, the players—and the cheerers—will carry memories that will live a long, long time. Bobcats Join Middle Park in Class B Finals Swift Ignacio Hustling Ignacio Cuts Team Outruns Down Hotchkiss, 53 to Hoehne, 55-37 It took the ever-hustling lads from Ignacio a quarter to get under a head of steam, toljt once stoked up they ran past Hotchkiss, 53-44, to gain the Class B finals Friday in the State Tournament. The win sends the run and shoot band of little Indians from Ignacio into the Class B finals against Middle Park Saturday night at 8 o’clock in the Coliseum. The Indian-dominated winners, one of the most popular teams because of their racehorse, lickety-split style, pulled away in the final quarter after lagging through the first half. The smaller Bobcats fell behind, 12-2, early in the game as Don Pierce, Keith Clay and Hollis Brown moved Hotchkiss off to a blistering start. Ignacio trailed, 16-9, at the end of the first nuarter but started making their ball hawking and hot shooting pay off in the second quarter and pulled up to within one point—27-28—at the halftime intermission. Herb Francis drilled five field goals in the second stanza, mostly on push from, outside, and little Henry Jim added five points to put the Bobcats back in the game. The score see-sawed through the third period with Ignacio holding a 39-37 margin as the final quarter started. In the stretch run the ’Cats kept the pressure on, forced Hotchkiss into errors, and won going away. Pierce, 6:4 center, fouled out with 4:17 remaining and Clay departed with five personals with 50 seconds left.

Ignacio now bids for the title Saturday in its first appearance in the Colorado schoolboy basketball conclave. Its se-ason record is 20 won, two lost. Ignacio’s perpetually-in-motion Bobcats ran, scrambled and hustled to a 55-37 Class B victory over Hoehne Thursday. The crowd “oohed” and “aahed ’ as the tiny Indian - dominated Ignacio team turned the larger Hoehne quint into a fumbling, error-ridden club. Ignacio, with seven of its 10 squad members coming from the nearby Ute Indian Reservation, never quit running in a remarkable display of endurance. Coach Wayne Cope filtered his entire squad in and out of the game as his team constantly put on the defensive pressure. Using an all-court zone press, the swift little Indians, averaging from 5-5 to 5-8, continually picked off Hoehne passes and generally made pests of themselves. They scored four quick points at the end of the third quarter to break open a close game and assume a 35-27 lead. It was no contest down the stretch as Ignacio continually broke loose for easy layups to pad out its big margin at the finish. Roland Weaver, with 12; Clyde Peacock, 10, and Bill Man Gum, also with 10, paced Ignacio. ManGum, at a mere six feet, was Ignacio’s tallest player. Stanley Stanton of Hoenhe was the game’s high scorer with 15.
