Fans stand in prnttst of Far o Suuths len tfiy talks wjth officials at the statt consolation game Riders Overcome Two Minnesota Hockey Powers With a season average of seven goals a game, the Riders were considered a prime contender for the state title. The Roughnders succeeded in crushing northern Minnesota hockey power, Roseau nine- one. Later VC ' arroad fell to Red River, seven -four. Dave Hiney had two goals. The Riders also won three of the possible four points against crosstown rival Grand Forks Central during regular season play. The Riders entered the regional tournament with an 11-8-1 record and were selected the tour- nament lavfjrite. With decisive victories over Minor and Devils Lake, the Roughriders won the regional title. In the State Tournament Red River was pitted against Gratton, a long -noted rival. Midway through the first period, several penalities were called on the Roughriders. Coach Howells. ob|ect- ing strongly to the officials judgement, was ejected trom the game. The Riders without their head coach, played a strong game with 29 shots on the goal. However, they could not score sufficiently to win. In the consolation game Red River was de- feated by Fargo South five to two. Coach Howells had this comment on the season. I am pleased with what happened at Regionals. During the regu- lar season we played very well at times but couldn ' t develop any consistency. I don ' t know if this is correct to say but trends start to develop. People who win regionals usually do not win state, at least the last three years. Grafton has been living up to their name at state as the Spoilers. Red River finished with a 1. -10-1 record. Dean Barsness was the team leading scorer with 2 ' ) goals and 19 assists. The team captains were Dave Bina, Greg Thorsen. and Todd Schaefer. Assisting Coach Howells was Bill Lequire. Red River has two AllConlerencc players which were Todd Schaefer and Dean Bars- ness. Dean Barsness waits for the puck to come his way
