Scoring mark of 122 set by league champs The number one rated AA-A Tigers who averaged 83 points per game and scored a total of 2,353 points to their opponents I,594 posted a IO-O league record plus a 26-2 season tally. The tall muscular Tigers broke an old iinx by downing Santa Maria 79-68 in the second game of the CAHPER Tournament and went on to beat Atascadero 9I-77 for the pre-season tourney championship. Three seniors, Mark Bailey, Steve Bees, and Rusty Blair captured berths on the all-tourney team. In the Rio Mesa and Atascadero Tournaments where the Tigers captured the title crowns, pivotman Rusty Blair took home the most valuable player award, while 6-2 guard Mark Bailey joined Blair on both of the all-tourney teams. The first game following the CAHPER Tournament was disastrous because Santa Maria handed the Tigers one of their two losses, 67-66. The Bengals got their revenge when they killed the Saints 7I-49 in the rubber match. In the quarter finals of the CIF AA playoffs, the Tigers were handed their only other loss of the season by fifth- ranked Bishop Montgomery. Both league and Tiger school records were rewritten as the most powerful Bengal team in the school's history set a record of 23 straight wins by defeating San Gabriel Mission in the CIF second round. Breaking the century mark four times, the Tigers went for their biggest tally of the season against cross town rival Mission when the Tigers exploded for I22 points. In the first round of the post season playoffs, the Tigers faced Frontier league runner up, William S. Hart Indians, in a game that saw Tiger 6-8 Rusty Blair paired against 6-9 Indian center Mark MacNaughtan. The game saw the Tigers spot an early lead to the Indians before taking the lead at the half, then dropped to a one point lead in the third quarter before a 92-81 runaway. In the second round the Tigers met the San Gabriel Mission Pioneers, who throttled the Tigers with a 42-41 lead at halftime. The third quarter ended in a 54-54 tie, but the Tigers exploded for 42 points in the fourth quar- ter and a IOI-85 victory. In the quarter finals the Bishop Montgomery Knights snapped the Tigers' 23-game win streak in a heartbreaker at South Torrance 73-64. A frigid second quarter cost the Tigers their hopes of a CIF championship as the Knights hit for I8 points to the Tigers' 2 in the second quarter to take a 32-22 halftime lead. Bishop Montgom- ery went on to win the semi and final games by easy margins over Indio and San Marino to take the crown. 46-Varsity Basketball CENTER JUMP-All conference centers Rusty Blair and Atascadero's Steve MacFall battle for tip as did both teams four times this season.
