(Photos by Kevin Whitworth) B C H S g i r l s d i v i s i o n a l By Karin Whitworth nMiWtygn The Dillon Beaver* girls bas ketball team will pick up the pieces of a disastrous weekend and prepare for the divisional tournament to beheldin Living ston beginning on Thursday. The Beavers dropped a 96-45 decision to the top-ranked Liv ingston Rangers a t home, then closed, o u t, the i regular season with.a 50-40loss in Deer Lodge. Against Living*ton,the Bea* vers scored the first point ofthe game on a free throw by Cary Cleveriey, then watched the roof cave in as the Rangers rolled up 35 first quarter points. Full court pressure defense and a run-and-gun offensive philosophy powered Livingston to a 56-26 halftime lead. The second h a lf was much of the same as the Rangers cruised to the easy victory. JammieEllis led the Beavers with* 13 points. Saturday n ig ht the Beavers came out ice cold from the field and found themselves in an early hole against the Wardens. The Beavers scored only two first quarter points and were held to only one field goal in the first half.' Deer Lodge took a 28-11 lead to the locker room a t the half. The Beavers began to play a little better in the second half, but the contest, had long since b * e n d g a ^ ^ .lL v ; ReraCa Tysel scored* 11 points to lead the Beavers. \Against Livingston we played very poor defense,” noted Head Coach Scott H ill. “Living ston in a fine team b ut our lack of hustle made them look a lot better than they really are. “Against Deer Lodge we did nothing,” stressed H ill. \We were not aggressive, we were flat, and played thekind of game you might expect to see in the first ^eekend o f jjif season. We finely showed some .life in th« second half. “Hopefully we got that but of our system. Up u n til last week- end we were happy with the progress of the team, b u t i f you don’t play hard you don't win.” The Beavers, seeded seventh, m il play the Lewistown Eagles in the first round of the divi sional toumamenton'niursday. Tip-off will be a t 2 p.m. “Lewistown is not a big team, but they are quick,\ said HilL They run a lot of fast tweaks and Are j* pressing teanCrllieir, tnan-to-man defense is veiy tough. “Offensively we have to p u t points on the board, look for better shots, and handle their; full court pressure.” - DQI m M*) rantoJMfjMtk 1 4.

By afternoon’s end the Saints had earned the title with a34-23 win over the Bulldogs, but not before a few anxious moments on a cold, windswept day in Helena. The Bulldogs' start was as cold as the weather as Carroll rolled to an early 17-0 lead. Western received the opening kick-off but could not move the ball in the teeth of a 25 mph wind. After a short punt the Bulldog defense forced the Saints to settle for a field goal. The next sequence of events proved to be costly for the B ull dogs. The Bulldogs were stopped on their next series and on fourth down punter Ralph Chavez’s punt was blocked setting up a short touchdown run. On the following kick-off two Western players collided and Carroll recovered the ball deep in West ern territory. A touchdown run put the Saints in control, or so they thought Western wasted little time getting on the board in the sec ond quarter.

B o w l i n g Maki capped the four-play, 80- yard drive with a 58-yard scor ing strike to tight end Ed Royce. After forcing a Saint fumble on their next possession, kicker Mike Clemens booted a 36-yard field goal to cut the Carroll lead to 17-10. Carroll answered back with a field goal, but a 24-yard touchdown aerisi firom Maid to Brett Haines with '29 seconds left in the h a lf cut the Saint lead to three. The Bulldogs came out in the third quarter with the wind behind them, but could not come away with points after two long drives. Carroll extendedtheirleadin the fourth period on a short touchdown run, but the Bull dogs countered right back as Maki found running back Mike Cutler out of the backfield with a 35-yard scoring pass to cut the Saintleadto27-23. A Iato touch down with under la minute to play gave Carroll their final margin of victory. “We played pretty well at times,” noted Head Coach Mick Dennehy. The difference was that we did not do a great job capitalizing when we had the opportunities. \We really put the defense in a tough hole early in the ball game, b u t the kidsreally battled back and we are proud of them for th a t \We had the two chances to take the lead in the second half, but did not take advantage of having the wind a t our back in the third quarter,\ said Den nehy.

N e w s a n d v i e w s o f t h e S p o r t s S c e n e B y K e v i n W h i t w o r t h I have an ax to grind. I enjoy watching quality professional boxing, b u t how can the sport allow young men, with little or no ama teur career, to step into the ring with another individual. I’m talking about Western Montana College sophomore Steve Bartmess of Helena making his professional debut in Butte. According to Bartmess his amateur career consisted of “fighting in some smokers and a lot _ of street fighting.\ Understand that Tm w riting this column Monday afternoon and I have no way of knowing what will happen when Steve enters the ring tonight, but even i f he wins, how long will it be before he ia seriously injured in the ring? In the sport of boxing i f you do not have a reputation of a Todd Foster, for example, then you are the one who will be put in the opposite corner of the up and coming boxer. What kind of future in ths sport will that leave you, and what price will you have to pay? Then there is Bob LeCoure of Butte who is the promoter for the six-bout card held a t the Civic Center. LeCoure and the Montana Ath letic Commission, the sanctioning body of the event, would have to live with the fact that they let Bartmess in tiie ring i f something serious were to happen to the health of this youngman. What Tm trying to get a t is that professional boxing has been given a blade eye in the past due to serious beatings administered in the ring. I realize that Steve Bartmess is serious about stepping in the rin& b u t with h is veiy limited amateur career I don't feel that the pro fessional boxing ring is a safe place for him a t this time. Don’t get me wrong, I like to watch two skilled boxers showcase the mastery that has been honed to perfection overyears,butaquick check of their amateur record will help you understand how they were able to attain such a lofty states. ** I want i t to be known that Fm not knocking Steve in any way. As a matter of fact I think he is a very brave individual to step into tiie ring. The fact that LeCoure and the Montana Ath letic Commission are allowing him to do so is where I have my beef. How long will this madness be allowed to continue! \
