Tom James, the day's high scorer with 19, was outstanding for the Orangemen, while Sid Payne played well off the backboards and Charlie Rouse and Johnny Nowell played good floor games.
Agafn Jim Woolery was the Bishop defensive star. Blair Farinholt led the Bishop scoring with I0, followed by Woolery at 9. Jerre Parker was tough under the boards and " No" Smith, Brent Nash, and Milt Barber sank their share of shots and played good defensive ball.
