Pinero Lumberjacks Fail In Bid for Crown All chances for ACC to dis- play a national junior college championship trophy went out the window with the 78-69 loss to Moberly, Mo. (the eventual winner). Coach Dutcher blamed Al- pena' s opening loss on tourna- ment jitters. "As bad as we played we only lost by n i n e points," Dutcher said after the game. "If we would have play- ed anywhere near our normal gam.e, we probably would still be seeking the national title." Dutcher said, "Our front court . personnel, Roy McNeely, Tom Richardson and Jim McCor- · mack, did a commendable job but our guards ' were unable to hit. So in turn they started fore• . ing their shots and we got into trouble."
