CSU cage season ends as WTSU wins, 94-86 By Bill Kramer Sports Editor Poor free-throw shooting brought an end to Central State University's basketball season, as the Bronchos dropped a 94-86 decision to West Texas State in the semi-finals of the Lone Star Conference postseason tournament in Commerce, Tex. Friday. CSU managed to sink only 22 of 42 free throws for 52 percent. The Buffaloes did not fare much better from the line, dropping only 12 of 22 for 54 percent. The Bronchos led 12-6 with 17:04 left in the first half, but WTSU battled back to tie the game at 19 at the 13:28 mark. The Buffs outscored CSU
22-10 during the next seven minutes to grab a 41-29 lead, but the Bronchos battled back with nine points from Shawn Williams to trail, 49-47, with 1:15 remaining. WTSU led 55-51 at the half and the Bronchos were never able to capture the lead in the second half, although closing within one point, 58-57, on a basket by Stanton Davis. WTSU outpointed the Bronchos 21-10 over the next 8:32 for a 79-67 lead. Depth was the key with ten players scoring for West Texas State. Rodrigo Mello led the Buffaloes with 19 points and 10 rebounds for their third victory over CSU this season.
Michael Powers scored 25 points for CSU and Sean McCall added 21 points with the help of five 3-pointers. West Texas State outshot the Bronchos from the field, 65 percent to 41 percent, but CSU won the battle of the boards, 38-31. Bobby Harris grabbed 11 rebounds for CSU. The Bronchos end their season with a 12-17 record. The Buffaloes met regular-season champ East Texas State Saturday night in the tournament final. Seniors Bobby Harris and John Sterling played their final game in Broncho uniforms. CSU returns four starters—forwards Marlon Brown and Sean McCall and guards Shawn Williams and Stanton Davis.

Twinbill called in 4th; CSU struggling at 3-4 By Bill Kramer Sports Editor The double-header with Southeastern Oklahoma State University, Durant, was called by officials due to heavy downpours Saturday at Broncho Field. The game was stopped in the top of the fourth inning as SOSU rallied to tie the game, 2-2. The games will not be rescheduled, said Sports Information Director Mike Kirk. The Bronchos did, however, play a twinbill Friday at Broncho Field, taking a pair from Morningside College, Iowa. Junior pitcher Jay Baren came on in relief of starter Leslie Baker in the seventh inning to record a
save and preserve a 4-2 win for Baker and the Bronchos. CSU catcher Mike Krehbiel knocked a home run in the game, the first of the year for the Bixby senior. The host Bronchos hammered the MC in the second game, fueled by a home run blast by Drumright junior Brian Burden. CSU won the game, 10-1, and hurler Jay Sparks evened his record to 1-1 while the Bronchos improved to 3-4 on the year. CSU travels to Oklahoma Christian College Thursday for a scheduled 1 p.m. triple-header. Rain postponed the second game of a twinbill Feb. 27, and both teams agreed to make up the game.
4-run 4th sinks softballers By Ray Dozier Student Writer Central Missouri State University scored four runs in the top of the fourth inning enroute to a 7-2 softball victory over Central State University Saturday in Edmond.

The Lady Bronchos threatened in the fifth and loaded the bases in

Broncho netters beat OBU, improve to 7-0 The Central State University men's tennis team remains unbeaten, adding a 7-2 match victory over Oklahoma Baptist University Thursday in Shawnee. Head Coach Francis Baxter said he was glad to have the win, but he thought OBU gave his Bronchos somewhat of a scare. "OBU is always tought to beat on their home courts. All of the singles matches were closely contested. Jong, Elton and Tom had long, hard wins," he said. Sixteenth-ranked NCAA H No. 1 singles player Jong Demonteverde led the surge for the
