Sandy Becomes Unbeaten Wilco Champs It would take a greedy fan to ask for a more glorious season than the Sandy Pioneers had in 1962-63. The team went through pre-league com- petition untouched until the final practice game when Tigard pulled one point up in the last six seconds. Pre-league season opened with Portland power- house Cleveland at Sandy. Coach Jerry Ross was out to upset his alma mater, and the boys came through to win in the closing minutes. Buck’s boys took the Benson Engineers in stride, finding revenge for last year’s loss to the same team. Sandy pulled far away from Madras in the second half, and squeezed past St. Helen’s the next day. Gresham was defeated, Madras was snowed under twice, and Tigard dropped a close one to the un- beaten Pioneers. The team got set for the second Tigard game, and meanwhile showed their wares at the jamboree against Parkrose. But the unde- feated season was not to be. Tigard won by one tally, as Bob Lamb hit a deciding shot with six seconds left.

Next, Scappoose was overwhelmed, falling behind by a much as twenty markers at a time. Sandy edged Parkrose in a game that was tied with a minute to go. Wy’East Eagles fell in the wake of the Sandy machine. Silverton was thoroughly pulverized by the strong Pioneers. The roar of the fans never once let up as Molalla and Sandy, both unbeaten, squared off in Sandy's matchbox gym. The Molalla Indians walked away scalped. Hopeful Reynolds was added to Sandy's list of conquests, and the Pioneers had an un- blemished league record at the midway point in league play. The Sandyites started over again, taking Jesuit, Scappoose, Parkrose, Wy’East and Silverton with no problems. Then came Molalla, where a see- thing, screaming mass of 1600 fans saw Sandy emerge victorius in the final seconds. The team finished the unbeaten league season by defeating Reynolds and tournament fever was rampant at S.U.H.S. 20
