Cats Win Consolation
Trophy at Brownwood
COLEMAN DEMOCRAT-VOICE
Page 5
The Bluecats open Dis-
trict 8-AAA play Friday at
Marble Falls and they have
to be encouraged as to
their chances of winning a
district title . . . encour-
aged because of their per-
formance at the 42nd An-
nual Brownwood Holiday
tournament at the Coli-
seum last week.
After dropping a heart-
breaking 47-45 decision to
4A Lamesa in the opener,
Jack Baucom's cagers took
the measure .of 3A Crane
52-43 and 3A Seminole
66-61 to capture the conso-
lation trophy. Their early
conqueror, Lamesa defeat-
ed “run and gun” Waco
80-78 and host Brownwood
on Friday 75-72 to win the
Division II title.
The Division II field
comprised of four Class 4A

teams and four Class 3A
squads. The quality of com-
petition for the Cats was
just what the doctor or-
dered.
On Wednesday, Bau-
com’s strategy of ball con-
trol, which so effectively
disposed^ Ballinger here
on December 19, almost
paid off again. The Cats led
after the first period 12-4
but Lamesa began break-
ing up the "control” in the
second quarter and cut the
gap to 21-20 at halftime.
In the third quarter,
Lamesa jumped to 24-21
and 28-25 leads before
Speedy Holloway’s steal
and layup cut the deficit to
28-27.
Freshman Michael Chil-
dress flashed his court
savvy in the final period,
responding with a 13 point
output, keeping the Cats
right in the thick of things.
His jumper with 24
seconds left gave the locals

from the field while La-
mesa countered with 54%.
From the charity stripe,

Lamesa won the battle of
the boards, 19-12.
On Thursday, the Cats
a 45-43 lead but LamesaV avenged an earlier loss to
Mark Murphy had the final Crane by defeating the
word. His tip-in with 10
seconds remaining tied the
count and set the stage for
his own heroics.

Murphy was there to fol-

Cranes, 52-43. On this oc-
casion, the ball control,
stall type of offense proved
ineffective. Crane jumped
to an early 9-4 first quarter
lead before the Cats
switched to a transition
game and fired to a 23-19
halftime lead.
Balanced scoring and ef-
fective free throw shoot
ing was the difference. The
Cats outscored Crane 20-3
from the free throw line,
canning 20 of 27 while the
Cranes connected on three
of seven. Vince Hubbard
was rugged under the
boards and keyed the vic-
tory with 15 points (4-7-15)
while pulling down seven
rebounds. Holloway had
4-3-11, Childress 3-4-10,
Neal 2-4-8, Southern 1-2-4
and Wilson 2-0-4 to round
out the scoring.
Baucom’s Blues shot
52% from the floor while
Crane was 49%. Crane out-
rebounded the Cats, 25 19.
The tourney finale and
consolation win for the
Cats over Seminole was
indeed another solid effort.
Shooting from the free
throw line again elevated
the Cats to victory. They
were 28 of 40 from there
while Seminole was equal
ly as adept, bagging 11 of
12.
The Cats, now 11-5 this
season, sprinted away to a
19 9 first period lead. Sem
inole finally caught and
passed the Cats 39 38 late
in the third period but field
goals by Childress and
Neal and free throws by
Hubbard and Childress lift-
ed the Cats to a 51-43 lead
by the period's end. Senior
guard Keith Neal bagged
five of seven free throws in
the final period to polish off
a strong floor game to lead
the Cats to a 66-61 win.
Childress netted six points
in the final eight minutes
to aid the cause.
Scoring for the Cats:
Childress 9-6 24; Neal 3-10
le^Hubbard 2-8-12; Hollo-
way 3-4-10; and Southern
2-0-4. k ,
The Bluecats were 48%
from the floor and 70%
from the stripe while Se-
minole was 40% and 92%
in the respective catego-
ries. Seminole badly outre-
bounded the Cats, 39-20.
Waco won third place in
Division I with a 61-48
victory over Belton while
Crane defeated Wylie for
7th place, 65-61.
FINAL TUNE-up

ior varsity girls begin the

Mason poured in a career
high 30 points to key the
win. Kim Weight added 12.

1983-84.
Letter to
the Editor
To The Editor-
I would like to say that I
agree*totally with the let-
ter from Ms. Tomlinson in
Tuesday’s paper. I feel
wildcats of all kinds
should be protected for
their ecological value.
Lynx and bobcats prefer to
hunt small rodent pests
such as squirrels, rats,
moles and shrews, rather
than have to take on a
livestock sized animal. All
too often mankind has era
dicated certain species
only to learn later they
were important to the eco-
logical balance of the very
area they were protecting.
1 think it is heart break
ing to see healthy, free
animals like bobcats, lynx,
foxes and raccoons shot,
and worse trapped, and
their hides sold. I believe
God intended for us to kill
only what we needed to
eat. ■ (
A few people can't
change the trend.' Every
person has to realize their
place in the environment.
Maybe if there were more
small predators in rural
areas left to do their work,
there wouldn't be such a
demand for poisons to con
trol rats, mice, birds and
other pests.
If it keeps going like it is
now the fur bearing ani-
mals will someday be ex
tinct. Children will only see
them in books, and the
hunters and trappers will
be to blame, and the fur
buyers for condoning this
action.
Tamara Mills.
