BROWNSBORO-The Malakoff Tigers
brought their Jeckle-Hyde show to town
for the Brownsboro Invitational Tour-
nament held December 17-19.
The Tigers began the tourney with a
less than impressive 49-38 win over
Canton, a team they had humiliated two
days earlier 68-49. Then even lesser
than impressive in a 44-41 loss to
Frankston, a team they had trounced
twice in two early season games.
But the hometown quintet regrouped
and played up to their full potentail for
the first time this year in an 88-60 trom-
ping over Arp. The 88 points was a
season high as the Tigers brought back
a third place trophy.
"Tigers 49 - Canton 38
The "Bomb Squad",-Russell Tarver,
Richard Blair and Jerryl Jackson- had
a fine game hitting for 44 of the Tigers
49 points. But the lack of support from
other members kept the contest from
being a run away.
The two squads suffered cold
shooting early. Canton held a 8-6 lead
after one quarter before the Tigers
came back to tie the game 22-22 at the
half.
Malakoff outscored their counterpar-
ts 12-4 in the third for a 34-26 lead and
went on to post their first opening round
victory in three tournaments.
Tarver topped the Tigers scoring
chart with 17 points, while Blair and
Jackson tallied 14 and 13 points respec-
tively.
Tigers 41 - Frankston 44
A not-so-tunny thing happened on the
Tigers' way to the finals. A slight case
of overconfidence and horrendous
shooting led to their lowest offensive
output of the season.
The lead see-sawed back and forth
the entire game. Frankston led 12-9 af-
