THE FT. HOOD SENTINEL Thursday March 5 1981
Anthony Tolbert connected for 23
points and William O’Neal added 18
more Friday night as Co. B 54th Sig.
Bn. 3rd Sig. Bde. stormed out of the
loser’s bracket to capture the 1981
non-divisional basketball champion-
ship at Abrams Field House.
THE SIGNALMEN won the title
on the strength of a 70-62 victory over
the 602nd Maint. Co. 13th SUPCOM
after earlier handing the previously
undefeated maintenancemen their
first loss of the double elimination
tournament.
Sixteen of O’Neal’s 18 points came

41-16 while Tolbert put in 10 points
during the first half and 13 more in
the last 20-minute stanza.
The title climaxed a long uphill
comeback battle that began Feb. 22
when the signalmen were thrust into
the loser’s bracket after falling victim
to HHC 13th SUPCOM in the
second round of the playoffs. Co.
then progressed through the loser’s
bracket eliminating no less than
seven other teams to earn a shot at
the title.
A 59-55 overtime victory against
the 602nd sent the championship
into the proverbial “if-necessary”
game where the signalmen opened
the game with unanswered baskets
to take a 10-0 lead before the 602nd
found the range. Co. then out-

Earlier Friday night in what had
been billed as the grand finale the
signalmen forced the extra game
holding off a 602nd come-from-
behind that sent the first game into
overtime at 50-60 then outscoring
the 602nd 9-5 for a 59-55 victory.
Crucial mistakes and costly tur-
novers proved to be the 602nd’s un-
doing in that first game as Co. repe-
atedly turned maintenance mistakes
to their own advantage to overcome a
first-half deficit tying the score at 18-
18 with just 4:31 remaining to play in
the half then moving to a 24-20
advantage in intermission.
W ilm ot rro and au
Shirlee spearheaded the 602nd com-
eback that left the game knotted at
the end of regulation play. But the
maintenancemen missed a number
of opportunities to put the game
away. The killing factor in the game
was a two-shot intentional foul fol-
lowed by a technical against the
602nd’s Martin Taylor.
Again Tolbert took scoring honors
for the signal five with 18 points fol-
lowed by Steve Bollings with 14
O’Neal with 11 and Willie Spann with
10 to round out Co. B’s double-digit
scoring.
ON THE OTHER side of the ledger
Shirlee and Richard Hill hit the hoop
for 16 and 14 points respectively
while Burroughs added 10.
Both team advance to the III
Corps and Fort Hood post playoffs
next week where they will meet top
teams frpm the 1st Cav. Div. and 2nd
Armd. Div. Other non-division teams
in the post playoffs will be HHC
SUPCOM and 62nd S & S Co. 13

Inside Sports-
Tanker training tested
at FORSCOM playoffs
Fort Hood is traditionally associated with the high caliber of military
training its soldiers receive.
BUT FOR THE past week the post has been recognized for something
else: the high caliber of basketball played by members of Western Re-
gion FORSCOM teams.
And the curtain to the finale rings down tomorrow afternoon at
Abrams Field House where the 1981 Western Regional men’s and
women’s champions will be crowned.
For the Tankers it could be their third straight and fifth title in six
trips. For the women eliminated early in the tournament last year this
marks anew beginning one that hopefully will show better returns.
But win or lose the Tankers and Tankerettes are known for some of
the best basketball in the Army. And both teams deserve the support of
the entire installation.
A lot of hard work goes into the making of a championship level
basketball team anyone who does not believe that should spend just
one day with coaches Richard Cline and Jo-Jo Johnson the mentors of
the post men’s and women’s basketball teams respectively.
Their biggest challenge has been to take a group of players with a
degree of ability and mold those individuals into a well-oiled machine of
which each player is an integral part. That is a tough challenge but both
coaches have met that challenge and done quite admirably.
Now it is time for those teams to show what they can do in tournament
play.
But it is frustrating to say the least for both coaches and players—
to devote long hours to preparation and then to play before empty
bleachers.
There is something about the sound of cheers and applause for a
well-executed play or an outstanding individual performance or for
that matter an overall good game regardless of who is playing.
WE AT FORT HOOD are fortunate in that our facilities were selected
to host the 1981 FORSCOM West playoffs. That eliminates one excuse
other installations have for not turning out in force to cheer on their
team. The only excuse we should have is duty commitments.
Everyone who is able should get out and see at least one basketball
game before the tournament ends tomorrow. It costs nothing but some
of your time and in return I assureyou you will be treated to some of the
best basketball in Central Texas.
Hood’s ruggers sizzle
leaving Stars all wet
The Fort Hood Rugby Football
Club rocketed out of their early
league setback Saturday when they
grabbed a first-season win 14-4
against the San Antonio Stars one of
the hotter teams in the local circuit.
THIS ENCOURAGING victory
was due mainly to the return of sever-
al seasoned veterans from last year’s
play where the Hooders took home a
consolation trophy in the season
final.
“It looked just like our old team
again” said Coach Terry Wolfe.
“Kurt Downs and Dan Ferrai were
missing from the team but have come
back. But that was just a few of the
added pluses” he said.
The game like all rugby matches
was a rugged battle where football
endurance and soccer skills have to
be effectively combined. And the
Hood ruggers did just that for the
growing turn-out of post fans.
“A big advantage was our back line

That’s the answer most consumer

magazine: “100 miles to the gallon.

was at full strength” said Wolfe
“Our tackling was good and our
scrums were great which gave us
some good breaks where we could
score and dominate the playing” he
said.
The San Antonio team played up to
their standard though demonstrat-
ing an equally talented team. “The
Stars were fairly even to us in play-
ing. They have a strong team and are
tough on scrums” said Wolfe. “We
should have scored more points but
even the Stars commented on how
well our team played” he added.
WOLFE SOUNDED hopeful to
keep Saturday’s team a mixture of
past winners and enthusiastic hope-
fuls together as the full-time team.
And that sounds like a winner for
Hood.
They’ll challenge their skills again
this Saturday in an away watch
against the Dallas “Willabeasties.”

Fuel additives which are
claimed to clean the fuel system and
improve combustion. Testing has
shown emission levels are generally

Lubricants or various other

engine performance by reducing fric-

If you’re really interested in saving
gas there are several proven ways to
do this. First of all drive less by com-
bining three or four single trips into
one trip. Secondly carpool or van-
