Alpena Beat.en By Moberly, Mo. 7~-69 ~nd Then Again By Caspe1r, Wy. 78-72 The Alpena Community College Lumberjacks w~re drop- ped from the National Junior College basketball tournament on a heart-breaking 78-72 defeat to Casper, Wyoming, last March 17. In that final game of the season, the favored Thunder- birds came out onto the floor red-hot while the Lumberjacks were ice-cold. By the 11:58 mark, the Thunderbirds were ahead 23-11. Throughout most of the second half, the Jacks were on the comeback trail and many fans here thought it was only a matter of time before Casper would lose heart and fold up. Spa!'king the Alpena drive was their bri1liall1't defensive guard Mike DeWyre, who w,a,s knock• ed mto the stands twice and once into th~ backbooro support. All three times it looked as if be would have to leave 1ihe game but DeWyre refused and ~tayed to complete wh,at w a s probably his best game of the year. Alpena outplayed the Thunder- · birds in the second hailf, ~ out- .scoring them 40-35. But in 1he end it Wta!S the veteran Ca~per cootmgent tournament poise that gave them the win. 'l11e Jacks pliayed then- hearts out alter the 43-32 first !half de- ficit and came baek to take the lead for 1he only time in the game with 4:45 remairuDg on a field goal by Gary Smith. Then, shortly a.flier, DeWyire stole a Oasper pass and went lin for wha:t looked like ia sure layup. But the shot was blocked from behind on a questionable pliay as Casper got the ball back iagain. The Thooderbfu-ds went down to score at the 4 minute mark to take the foad for good, "Too; was the turning point of the game," Alpet)a's Coach Jim Duteher reported. "If DeWyxe would, have made flhe la,yup, we would have gone ahead by three pointlS and could ireally have put the presswre on Casper."
