Orford adds three more wins
ORFORD-- The Orford
Wildcats continue to impress,
rolling over two opponents
before being tested by
Thefford Academy, but still
coming away with a hard
earned 66-63 win. Opposing
coaches should take notice of
Barry LeBarron's 'shock
troops' and their ability to
strike fast and often to blow
open what seems to be a close
game. The rebounding of
Sanborn and Harrington along
with the double digit scoring of
senior guard Jeff Huntington
is a force not to deal lightly
with.
Mark Hamilton's coaching
debut at Oxbow was suc-
cessful, winning a close one in
the final seconds against
Mascoma 56-54 with two
starters on the bench with five
fouls. Hamilton's sbccess was
somewhat diminished,
however, with the loss of three
varsity players a day before
the game. The Olympians
suited up only eight varsity
players for the game but
stayed tough to gain the win,
with the substitutes all playing
well.
The Woodsville Engineers
fell to 1-2, losing to Plymouth
by seven after overwhelming
Lake Region by 30 earlier in
the week• Mike Ackerman's
five are still having trouble
making all the pieces fit,
although they have a solid
scorer in Dave Patten and a
strong defensive guard duo in
Pat Riggie and Dave
Nickerson, along with good
team speed• Down the stretch
Woodsville should be a team to
reckon with.
Thetford had the misfortune
to run into two good teams,
falling to Orford and defen-
ding Division IV champs Blue
Mountain. The Panthers were
in both contests until the final
minutes of play and could just
as easily come away with a
win rather than a loss. Center
Mark Godfrey will be a
driving force at center and
Kevin Stever will be the floor
general at point guard if the
first two games are any in-
dication.
Orford 66, Thetford 63
Orford 82, Sunapee 34
Or ford 69, Whitcomb 32
THETFORD-- A third quarter
scoring burst by Orford helped
erase a 3 pint halftime deficit
and send them on their way to
a 66-63 win. It wasn't easy for
the unbeaten Wildcats as
Thetford clawed their way
into a one point lead with only
94 seconds remaining on the
clock. Orford had held a ten
point lead midway into the
third quarter before settling
for a 53-44 third quarter
margin, hanging on at the end
for the win.
Jeff Huntington was the
Orford catalyst in the third
quarter uprising. Huntington
hit on six of seven from the
floor to lead the Wildcats,
while teammates Dave
Sanborn connected on three of
four and Larry Osmer two of
three. Mark Godfrey did his
best to keep Thetford in the
game, connecting on 11 of his
game high points in the
quarter. Godfrey had to sit out
part of the second quarter
after picking up his third foul
early. A total of 57 fouls were
called in the game, 30 against
Thetford.
With just over three minutes
remaining in the game, two
free throws by Kevin Stever
put the Panthers in the lead,
60-58. It was the first time
Orford had lost the lead since
early in the third quarter. Six
seconds later, Huntington
answered in kind for Orford
and the Wildcats retook the
lead by virtue of a turnaround
jumper from ten fet by Dave
Sanborn. Two more free
throws by Thetford's Jason
Southworth knotted the score
at 62 all. Dan Baker put
Thefford in the lead again with
only a minute and a half left,
sinking the first of two free
throws. Shawn Banker then
missed a golden opportunity to
raise the lead to three as his
rebound and shot just fell
short of the mark.
Richard Carter put Orford
in the lead for good with a
jumper from the side for two
of his six points and Larry
Osmer put icing on the cake
sinking a short jumper with 18
seconds left on a breakaway.
Tbetford, playing their' first
game, committed three costly
turri6vdrs in the final minute
and hall' of play.
AVOIDING A FOUL IN GAME AGAINST MASCOMA
is Oxbow's center Mark Osadchey. Osadehey scored 8
points and pulled down seven rebounds in victory over
the Royals.

In Orford's other two games
this week, the Wildcats had an
easier !(ime; b!owing their
opponents away by an
average of 43 points. Strong
defensive efforts, combined
with high powered scoring
keyed the wins. Against
Sunapee, Huntington,
Harrington and Osmer led the

Oxbow 56, Mascoma 54
BRADFORD-- A single free
throw by Sam Burroughs
helped Oxbow and rookie
coach Mark Hamilton to their
first of the season. Burroughs
sunk the front end of a 2 shot
situation to put Oxbow in front
by two, then alertly grabbed
his own rebound to preserve
the victory in a loosely played
contest.
With the game tied at 51-51
and 48 seconds left, junior
guard Bandy Huntington sunk
a jumper from the foul line,
putting the Olympians out in
front by two. A half minute
later, Charlie Barton upped
the lead to three by calmly
sinking two free throws,
hitting only net. A field goal
with ten seconds remaining by
Bill Williams cut the lead to
one, 55-54. Up stepped
Burroughs for his game
winning shot, following a foul.
With the exception of the

first half, the Olympians
frittered away leads of ten and

the half.
In the third quarter Oxbow
hit four of their first five shots,
two by Huntington, and one
each by Charlie Grant and
Mark Osadchey to build the
lead back to six, 37-31. A

CONGRATULATIONS TO COACH MARK HAMILTON in
garnering his ][irst official high school basketball victory•
Before his career is over, he'll have many more to add to the
list. The first one is always one to remember. He led the
Oxbow troops against a mediocre Mascoma team that
already had two games under their belts, kept the team
under control down the stretch and came away a winner• A
sidelight to the win is what happened the day before the
game. Hamilton's varsity squad dropped from 11 to eight
with the loss of three players, due to their own decision. Its
tough enough to win with the talent of 11 players, let alone
being left high and dry at the last minute, losing three
players. The remaining members of the team, however,
showed what they were made of in pulling out win number
one. Congratulations to both Hamilton and the team...
IT IS ALWAYS FUN TO GO TO A THETFORD GAME and
leaf through their enormous program. This year it is a mere
30 pages long and includes varsity, junior varsity and
cheerleading rosters, as well as the school song, and cheers.
The middle two pages are devoted to the current game, a
capsule report and the opponent's roster. The balance of the
program is made up of 24 (give or take a couple) pages of
advertising prepared by the school. It is a heck of an idea. It
would help if all schools would have available programs for
the fans. So far this year I've only seen them at Thetford and
Woodsville. It takes a little effort on someone's part, but it is
well worth it, and it shows class.
CHRISTMAS TOURNAMENT TIME is coming up again in
Wondsville. This is an annual event sponsored by the
Woodsville Area Booster Club. Games are scheduled for
Monday and Tuesday, Dec. 27th and 28th at 6:30 and 8 p.m.
Teams participating will be Woodsville, White Mountain,
ConVal and Pelham. Admission will be $2 for adults, $1 for
children. Come and see some "good hoop."
BLUE MOUNTAIN BASKETBALL TOURNEY and director
Run Brown just completed another successful tournament.
Now a fixture at BMU the annual holiday tourney is one that
teams hope to be invited to. This year BMU hosted Sacred
Heart, Littleton and Oxbow. The crowds, enthusiasm and
basketball were all top rate.
HANOVER'S HOLIDAY TOURNAMENT will be Dec. 27, 28
and 29th. Oxbow will again be participating in it, facing some
of the toughest competition (with the exception of St. Jay)
that they'll see all year. With it being down around coach
Hamilton's 'stomping grounds' I'm sure he would enjoy
winning a couple or three games down there. Before that, the
Olympians have a tough road to hoe in an away game against
Woodsville, Dec. 21st•

frittered away leads of ten and
nine points with less than two
minutes remaining in each
quarter. Oxbow still
prevailed, 16-12 and 29-27 at
the half.
In the third quarter Oxbow
hit four of their first five shots,
two by Huntington, and one
each by Charlie Grant and
Mark Osadchey to build the
lead back to six, 37-31. A
jumper from the top of the key
by Barton gave Oxbow its
biggest second half lead 41-33
before the Royals started
chipping away.

CONGRATULATIONS TO COACH MARK HAMILTON in
garnering his ][irst official high school basketball victory•
Before his career is over, he'll have many more to add to the
list. The first one is always one to remember. He led the
Oxbow troops against a mediocre Mascoma team that
already had two games under their belts, kept the team
under control down the stretch and came away a winner• A
sidelight to the win is what happened the day before the
game. Hamilton's varsity squad dropped from 11 to eight
with the loss of three players, due to their own decision. Its
tough enough to win with the talent of 11 players, let alone
being left high and dry at the last minute, losing three
players. The remaining members of the team, however,
showed what they were made of in pulling out win number
one. Congratulations to both Hamilton and the team...
IT IS ALWAYS FUN TO GO TO A THETFORD GAME and
leaf through their enormous program. This year it is a mere
30 pages long and includes varsity, junior varsity and
cheerleading rosters, as well as the school song, and cheers.
The middle two pages are devoted to the current game, a
capsule report and the opponent's roster. The balance of the
program is made up of 24 (give or take a couple) pages of
advertising prepared by the school. It is a heck of an idea. It
would help if all schools would have available programs for
the fans. So far this year I've only seen them at Thetford and
Woodsville. It takes a little effort on someone's part, but it is
well worth it, and it shows class.
CHRISTMAS TOURNAMENT TIME is coming up again in
Wondsville. This is an annual event sponsored by the
Woodsville Area Booster Club. Games are scheduled for
Monday and Tuesday, Dec. 27th and 28th at 6:30 and 8 p.m.
Teams participating will be Woodsville, White Mountain,
ConVal and Pelham. Admission will be $2 for adults, $1 for
children. Come and see some "good hoop."
BLUE MOUNTAIN BASKETBALL TOURNEY and director
Run Brown just completed another successful tournament.
Now a fixture at BMU the annual holiday tourney is one that
teams hope to be invited to. This year BMU hosted Sacred
Heart, Littleton and Oxbow. The crowds, enthusiasm and
basketball were all top rate.
HANOVER'S HOLIDAY TOURNAMENT will be Dec. 27, 28
and 29th. Oxbow will again be participating in it, facing some
of the toughest competition (with the exception of St. Jay)
that they'll see all year. With it being down around coach
Hamilton's 'stomping grounds' I'm sure he would enjoy
winning a couple or three games down there. Before that, the
Olympians have a tough road to hoe in an away game against
Woodsville, Dec. 21st•
