Sports Support Cadets Fall Short of Dream Rfter the Cadets won the dis- trict tournament they headed to Lincoln to ploy in the state bas- ketball tournament. In the first round of the state tournament the Cadets met the Holdredge Dusters. The Cadets fell behind late in the second quarter and were down at halftime. Rt the end of the third quarter the Ca- dets fell to a 17 point deficit. Then they started one of their patented fourth quarter come- backs. Their scrappy defense pulled them to within one point with 30 seconds left, fl last sec- ond desperation shot rattled the rim, but would not foil in. The Ca- dets lost the gome 51-50 and finished the year ot 11-11 re- spectively. TOP: David €rb drives to the basket dur- ing warm-ups. RIGHT: ‘ Red Rover.
