basketball tournameni begin last
Saturday at the Joel Coliseum with
the Winston Lake Lakers playing
the Arkansas Wings Gold in the
flpfitwg g ame of jn toi?Mnt.
The Lakers were seeded 53 of
56 teams.
The opening game wasn't all
that the Winston Lake Lakers
hoped for as they fell to the
Afksnsas Wings 75-69.
The Wings defense seemed to
do a number on the Laken snd the
Lakers appeared lobe in a little less
naming shape thin the Wings. Abo
the extreme number of missed
shots in the second half didn't help
the Lakers, as the Wings took
advantage of the misses and took
control of the game.
r
Although the Lakers held a 2
point lead at halftone of 37-35, it
quickly disipated as the Wings
went into a 5245 lead eariy in the
third quarter.
It was a hard-fought game, and
the Lakers came within three points
of the Wings in the fourth quarter
but quickly lost control once again,
and the Wings weren't seriously
threatened the rest of the game.
Coach Willivns of the Lakers
happy at all with the
way they played against the Wings.
He felt they were a little impatient.
Dameon Foster led the Lakers
with IS points, while Danell John

Other scorers were: Josh
Henighan, seven; William Butler,
three; Brian Houser, two; Vincent
Scott, four, Cuncho Brown, five;
Mike Floyd, two; Reggie
McComba, one; and Anthony, one.
"We were a little tight , we
missed a lot of easy shots and didn't
rebound well at all. I thought our
guards played very well, but our
big men didn't do their job,"
Williams said.
On Monday the Lakers defeat
ed Springfield Bass Pro-Kings
from Missouri, 71-47.
"We played good defense and
rebounded a lot better than the first
game. It was a total team effort,
and the team played intense,"
Williams said.
Scoring points for the Lakers
were: Dameon Foster, 10; William
Butler, 10; Josh Henighan, eight;
Ottis Attucks, six; Linwood Skin
ner, two; Brian Hauser, two; Ger
mane Crowell, six; Josh Pittman,
two; Darrell JOhnson, eight; Cun
cho Brown, six; Larry Williams,
four, Mike Floyd, four.
"I was real pleased, we had
good team defense. We are now 1
1 in our pool. If we win tomorrow
we'll go into the championship
round to play one of 28 teams. If
we lose well go into loser bracket,
but I feel we'll be playing in the
winners bracket," Williams said.
The Winston Lake Lakers were disillusioned in die opening game against
