The starting lineup for Tunxas College and the starting lineup for Tunxas runs over. Shakes hands with Neil Roberts and Bob Camp, the coaches for Dixie College. Kind of a nice touch to begin the game. I'm sure Dixie appreciates that. So does Tunxas fans. What few, they may have made it all the way from Connecticut. That's a long ways to come to watch a junior college team play. But Tonks, second time in the tournament. Ironically, Dixie and Tunxus were here in 79. First time Tunxus was here and Tunxus was eliminated in two games. So in NJCAA tournament play, Tunxus is now 1 and 2 or 1 and 3 in play. Dixie in championship play in the NJCAA is now 5 and 6 in its history. Starting at center, Alex Houfer will be starting along with Pruitt. Let's check and see if it's Richardson's or Haskins. It is Richardson's that is starting at center. And the guards Toms and Powell to jump center. Roberts and number 24, Hooper. Tap Control by Tunxes quickly to the basket. With a layup is number 30, John Pruitt. Pruitt, number two scorer on the season for Tunxas College. For the Tomahawks makes it two to nothing. Tunxas zone defense by Tunxas in the middle to run in head fakes. Leaves it for Brad Wade out of the corner. Jump shot. Wade good. And Brad Wade has not left his shooting touch by the wayside. Two, two, ballgame. We may have a dandy high scoring affair tonight. Tunks this plays his own. Not really that outstanding a defensive team. They like to try to get this field in deep. It goes to Richardson. Turn around with the right hand. Over the basket. Rebound. Chris McMullen on the wing. It comes to Brent wade across the 10 second line. Tunks is back on defense. Into the corner to Eddie Benson. Back out in front of McMullen. To Ron Enzo. All alone at 22. Bank shot in and out. Rebound. Roberts head fakes right, hands it up and in. Back up and over. Semi hook shot. Little jump. Hook shot by Roberts. And Roberts, who had the super night last night. 14 points and plenty of rebounds. Makes it four to two. Dixie. Dixie with the early lead. Brentway challenging number 22. That's Houston towell cross court. It goes to Hooper. Leans in with the right hand and Hooper picks up basket number one. Alex Hooper leading scorer for Tunxas on the air at 22. The first night out. 18 yesterday. Eddie Benson at the angle. 4, 4, tie Benson double team into the corner to wait underneath. It goes to McMullen. Turn around, fall away with the right hand. Will not fall. There's a foul beforehand. And apparently that will go to Richardson. Charles Richardson. A 66 freshman Richardson. John Pruitt. Alex Hooper. Houston Powell. Greg Toms first personal on either side. And it goes to Richardson in the corner. It comes to Brent Wade. Out of bounds play. Needless to say for Dixie. To Eddie Benson at the point. Benson looks down the right sidelines. Goes to Wade. Wade back out in front of Benson. Benson at the point challenged by two guards. To McMullen quickly on the left side. To Tom Roberts. In deep to McMullen. Turn around with the right hand. Soft. Not enough. Rebound brought down by number 24, Alex Hooper. So Tungstus getting the boards early. Tunxas likes to run that 89 point per game average shows it. But Tunxus willing to go against the zone right now. Two, three zone Head faking. Making the move is Hooper. And the head fake did not match up with the feet. Traveling call on Hooper. Out of bounds to Dixie. Turnover by Tunks. First turnover either side. 4, 4, tie. Rodney Rebel is here. So is a number of Dixie fans and the band and the cheerleader. Tom Roberts at the angle. Indifa goes to Hants. Turn around with a right hand. Partially deflected and high off the bank board. No good rebound. Coming down to tungsten. Four, four, tie at the wing. It goes to number 14. Thomas. Leans in with the right hand. No good rebound. Ince 3 on 2. Fast break. Ince in the middle lane on the right side. The ball is kicked and stolen by Tunks. Oh, saved by Benson. Back to Ants. It's all knocked away. And a foul comes to tunks. That's number 30, John Pruitt. Druitt one of the keys for Tunksas. A six three sophomore Druitt picks up the foul. That's number two. No correction. They give it to Powell instead of to Pruitt. It looked like they signaled towards Pruitt. Inbounds comes to McMullen. Knocked right back out of bounds. The champions from Region 21 versus the champions from Region 1. Hanson. Bounce to Eddie Benson. Top of the key one bounce, dribble. Jump shot from the free throw line. Good Eddie Benson. Benson drops it in Benson. First basket of the ball game. And the scoring has been by everyone but the two leading scorers so far. Anthony McMullen without a point at the angle. Number 14, Greg Toms. Ron Ants playing with a cold last night. Having problems running Eyes today. Long jump shot up and good by Greg Tom from the right angle just off the free throw line. 6, 6 ties, 17, 17 left in the first half. Eddie Benson down the sidelines to run in. Both teams having problems getting it going after tough ball games yesterday. Wade out in front of Benson, drives, dishes in deep to McMullen. Whirls with a right hand shot. Short follow McMullen. Good. Chris McMullen first basket of the night. Chris McMullen gets point number one and two and four out of Dixie's five. Ballplayers have scored eight to six. The Rebels out in front over the Tomahawks. Indeed to Richardson. Turn around with the right hand, partially deflected. Rebound. McMullen fast break on the wing to Eddie Benson. Middle lane pass on the wing to McMullen. Back to wait for two. Beautiful passing. Benson behind himself to McMullen. Bounce pass to Wade for the basket. 10 to 6. Dixie with a four point lead. Suddenly with 16:31 left in the first half. Out of the corner, John Pruitt. Good, John Pruitt. Tungstas can shoot 57% the first ball game, 43% last ball game. McMullen all alone down the baseline. Coming the other way. Tungstus mixed up on defense and McMullen got behind everybody. 12 to 8, 60 by 4. McMullen suddenly with four points at the angle. It goes to Powell. Down the baseline to Pruitt. Lays it up and in. And John Pruitt answers three baskets. John Pruitt 12 to 10. Dixie by two. We're going to have a shootout at the OK Corral. In deep. It goes to McMullen. Drives the keyhole ball knocked away. McMullen gets it back and puts it in Chris McMullen. Basket number three. Dixie fans having some fun now. Some of the fans from Hutchinson starting to move in. Two more quarterfinal games follow this one tonight. At the angle, number 14. Tom clears it out in front to the guard. Ball knocked away as it goes inside that Dixie two, three zone. Dixie using the zone defense, 14 to 10. Dixie by four at the angle. Alex Hooper goes to the point to Houston Powell, right side to Tom's almost fouled by end. Has a point again to foul. Back to Tom. The right wing to the baseline to Pruitt. Pruitt steps on the end line as he tries to drive the baseline. Pruitt turns it over. Dixie with a basketball. Dixie not quite as intense as last night, but so far relatively mistake free. Benson loses the dribble though. And Hans gets it up, gets a cross Court to Wade. Puts up the jump shot and hits it. Brad Wade all along out of the corner. Brad Wade third basket, 16 to 10. And father president Alton Wade of Dixie College enjoying that also Dixie 2, 3 zone. Wade will challenge Powell, though almost a man for man. Matchup on the guards on occasion. In deep, it goes to Pruitt. Dipsy doodle shot no good. Rebound brought down by Tom's little chuck and jive as he went towards the basket from the angle. Tom short off the front of the rim. Everyone standing. Tom gets the rebound. Dixie didn't move after the rebound as quickly as they did last night against Midland. And Tungsten's got it out in front. Houston foul right side Alex Hooper. Hooper leading score. Across court to Pruitt in the Kehl layup. Good John Pruitt. Basket number four. Back to 16 to 12. Lead Dixie out in front by four. Trying to get it in deep to McMullen. Ends in the corner. Looks for help against Hooper. Pass in deep to Roberts. Muscle shot against Richardson. Off the bottom of the bank board. Picked up by Wade. Bank shot no good. Rebound brought down by Tom. Foul on Wade. Dixie missed the golden opportunity. Getting penetration on Tungsten's defense. Tunks with John Pruitt getting the penetration on Dixie. Making the difference there. First personal on Wade. First team foul on Dixie. Two team fouls on Tunxus. At this point in the ball game, Dixie will extend out those guards and shift into a man to man situation. Wade will drop away a little bit from foul out in front. It goes to number 40 into the lineup. Haskins. Haskins for the first time tonight, gets the basket from the free throw line. Back to a two point lead. 16 to 14. Dixie and Tunxus. Benson as McMullen wants the basketball down the baseline. Five foot bank shot no good. Rebound brought down by Tunxus. Alex Hooper. Tunxus with a chance to tie quickly into forecourt. Powell goes around. Wade lays off to pass to Pruitt. And right off his chin. Then his right hand out of bounds. 16 to 14, Dixie by two. Tunxus couldn't capitalize right now. Dixie with the advantage away to the high post to Antz Ance looks for help. One bound dribble leaves it from McMullen into the corner to Eddie Benson. Benson Edtz takes ball. Knocked away from behind by Powell. Picked up by Tom Toms against Antz Ance. Powell picks up personal foul number one. Toms went to the basket. Wouldn't have counted anyway. It was on the drive. No, they're going to give Toms two shots. Ants raking around, kind of a silly foul. And they're giving Tom two shots. That's a continuation play and a pros. And a two shot foul. In college the foul was out in front. It should have been on the drive. And a common foul. Out of bounds and looking a little exasperated after that. First free throws of the night. Greg Toms to shoot. Toms who's been in double figures in each game gets his first point from the free throw line, has a basket. Make it three points on the night for Tom. 16 to 15, Dixie by one. Both teams a little lackadaisical. Tunxus not much different than they were the first ball game. Dixie not quite as intense. Lane violation. Take the shot away out of bounds to Dixie. Tungses jumping into the lane too soon. So take the shot away from Tom. Now my question, does that count as an attempt for Tom even though he put it in plain violation? Let's not see what the official scorer says. Red Wade across the 10 second line, looks for help. Shovels the pass to Ants on the right side. Fenton into the corner to McMullen too big, thrown away. And Dixie turns the ball over. Dixie about a half step to a step slower than they were last night. It's less than 24 hours since Dixie lost a heartbreaker to Midland in an all out full blown basketball game. 16 to 50. Little longer since Tunks has lost to Vince Van. Shot up. No good tap, no good rebound on the floor. Picked up by Toms. Blocked by Ant, picked up by Benson. Fast break. Lead passed away for two. Goaltendings never got in the basket. John Pruitt knocked it away and give the goaltending call to Pruitt and the basket to Wade into the lineup. Gonzola Dockery for the first time tonight. Eddie Benson to sit down for a moment. 18 to 50, Dixie by three 12:37 left in the first half at the angle it goes to Tom's. Tom's looks for help. Man to man defense by Dixie. Tom's travel call. Interesting. The official on the far side called the travel call in front of Dixie's bench. The man under the basket did not call it. Now admittedly usually the out front official takes the basketball and the man away from the basketball underneath watches the play. Away from the basketball. Pass stolen by Toms. Bounce pass by Wade. But Toms double dribbles as he heads up court. Turned over by Tungsten. Inbounds ends to Roberts in the corner. Roberts wants to get it back to Enc instead out in front to Wade quickly to Dockery. All alone at 15. Dockery in and out long rebound McMullen one bounce. Dribble stolen by Tuncas behind the back. Dribble by Houston Powell 4 on 2. Fast break on the wing to Brewett. Layup no good. Rebound tapped around into the hatch of way. Fast break the other way. Three on one. Quickly to Dockery. Layup shot blocked against dewores. And it's two for Ola Thackeray, the guard Houston Powell 510 sophomore who soars a little bit like Spud Webb got up and blocked that one. Dockery gets the basket. Second goal standing on Tunxus and Dixie leads by five, 20 to 15. 11:50 left in the first half of play. Double sack close together. Out in front by Tunx's. Dixie still into that man to man. Haskins to the high post right there at the top of the key. Can shoot it. Had 25 yesterday in the semifinal game or in the second game against Nebraska Western or correction against Farum Virginia. Let me get the right one here. Oh, it's a bad against Vince fans that's they play Fairham. The first night inbounds comes to Alex Hooper. We're all a little punchy in Hutchinson right now. It was a long night of not too much sleep for any of us. 20 to 15, five point lead for Dixie. Dixie into a two three zone stack on the one side, high post on the other side. So three men gather around the top of the key and then start the offense. Long jump shot, short rebound. Long rebound taken away from Haskins by Dixie. Three on two, fast break. Ants on the wing to Dockery. Dockery baseline shot. Good Ole Miss. Dockery. Dockery five feet out on the right side. Puts it up and in 22:15, seven point lead by Dixie. And Dixie starting to pull away from the Tomahawks. 10:54 left in the first half. Tunks has got run over by Vincennes last night. Big for their first loss of the year. Give and go back it comes to Alex Hooper who lays it up and in. Hooper second basket, little back door play. Hooper passed it to the top of the key and got it on the pass back. Dockery quickly into forecourt to Roberts. Jump shot from 15. Roberts puts it up soft, not enough. Rebound comes down to Tunxus. Five point lead. Dixie 22:17.

Dockery bounce pass stolen the kick back 560. Ron Ant stolen by number 22, Houston Powell. Quick little guard.

But this is as quick as they played. Powell against Wade. At the angle it goes to Alex Hooper. Out in front. Haskins long jump shot. Too long. Rebound McMullen outlet pass comes to Anze. Pass break. Dixie Ants looks for help. Ants curls out as Tunxus is back on defense. Wade cross court pass deflected, picked up by Tunxus. Pass break the other way, one on one. Cruett against Dockery. Lays it in. Cruett five baskets. Cuts the march into three. 22 to 19. Dixie turns the ball over without a shot. Wade trapped in backcourt quickly to Dockery to ENC. Still in backcourt. Cross court to McMullen. Leaves it for Wade friend. Wade out in front to Olusakari at the point. Right side. Ron ant fake to McMullen in deep. McMullen doesn't take the shot. Bounce pass out in front to Dockery.

Benson trying to get the ball back. Commits a personal foul. Tunxus with a man to man defense. Quick hands by the guards. And it looks like Dixie's guards are a step slower than they were last night.

Dr. Bill Davis, the. The sponsor for Dixie College in the NJCAA tournament. Dr. Davis, this is kind of a unique thing. You never get the same team twice. I understand. Well, that's. That's generally true. I. I'm not sure whether they rotate it on purpose or whether it Just works out that way. But this is only the second year I've done it, and I've certainly enjoyed working with Dixie. Now, you're a native of Hutchinson, right? Yes, I was gone for several years, but then I came back to Hutchinson. I'm from here originally, though. I remember when they built the stadium. I remember putting it up. And I've come to this tournament as long as I can remember. You're not that old. You must have been just a little guy. Well, I think I was born in 1944, and I think they started building it in 1949, so I was just a four or five year old child when they started building it. But I remember some of the earliest tournaments. Now, you're a former basketball star at Hutchinson High, I understand. Well, I wish I were. I played basketball at Hutch High, but I really wasn't what you call a star. I played for two years there, but I've always been a basketball fan. Enjoyed being around basketball. People are saying, Dr. Bill Davis. What sort of doctor? A PhD, an MD, a DDS. What? Let's go through the history. Well, I'm an MD and a specialist in family practice. Family medicine. I did my. I went to medical school at the University of Kansas, and then I did my internship in the Canal Zone, Central America, in Panama, at Gorgas Hospital, rotating internship. And then I was in the Army Special Forces for three years after that. That's where. That's when I became interested in family practice. I did my residency in family practice on the west coast in Northern California, and then looking all through Central America and back on the west coast and all that, I decided Hutchinson was a pretty good place to come back to. So we've been here since 1976. Now, to get to the Canal Zone, I assume that was with the military. No, it's not really. I don't know what it's like now, but in those days, the Canal Zone, the main hospital was a civilian hospital. Most of the department heads were military physicians. But the hospital serviced all the Panama Canal Company employees, military and otherwise. How did you get to the Canal Zone, then? Why did you choose the Canal Zone? Well, I just wanted to get away from home. And I had some friends that I had a good friend in medical school that found out about the Canal Zone Hospital. I've always loved the truth. When I was in medical school, I went to India once for a missionary to work in a missionary hospital. And I just. The experience was interesting. I thought it sounded like a good idea going to India, going to the Canal Zone, you must have run into some dandy diseases to treat. Well, that's true. The differential diagnosis there, if you had somebody with fever, didn't just include pneumonia and flu and things like that. We had to think about malaria, yellow fever, and we saw quite a few interesting things. It was. That's true. Tropical zone is tough, isn't it? Saw leprosy, lots of different parasite diseases. It was very good experience. What about the development of the people in the area? Is a lot of that taken care of by better sanitation? Well, in the Canal Zone, that's true, but in the Republic of Panama, there's still a lot of diseases that are just native, I suppose, what you call public health type disease. Still, it's certainly the health levels there are much better than they were several years ago. And it's one of the better countries in Central America, one of the wealthier countries in Central America. Let's talk a little bit about the tournament now. How do you get to be a sponsor? Well, first of all, you have to have been in the military so that you can join the American Legion. You can tell I'm a real legionnaire. Anyway, I get my hat out and dust it off once a year. That's about it. But. And then Mel Howe called me. Mel and I were in school together. He was a year behind me. We played basketball together. And he asked if I wanted to do it. And I really did, and I just enjoyed it. I just take half the week off. I take every afternoon off and really, really try to get into the tournament, really enjoy it. Now with this, how do you get your team? Just put it into an American Legion hat that you dust off and pull out the team number? No, somebody does all that for us. I just was the first I knew that I had Dixie was when Coach Roberts called me on the phone and said, you know, trying to get in touch with me. And that's when I. That's when I heard that I had Dixie. I remember they were here three years ago, and Bob Boyd, who was the team host then, came up and told me about Coach Roberts and the team, and I remembered something about him, but not that much, but it certainly has been a lot of fun to work with him. They're a bunch of really quality people. It's just a good, really class organization. You enjoy the sponsorship, I take it? Yes, I do, very much. Last year I had a team from Gloucester County, New Jersey, the Roadrunners. And they were a little different kind of team, but they were really a lot of fun. I enjoyed them Every bit as much as Dixie, but they're completely different. Now you've had a chance to be in Hutchinson during the tournament. This place goes bananas during the tournament. This whole town just rolls out the red carpet in any direction. Yeah, that's. This tournament is part of Hutchinson. We just completely redid the arena. As you can see. It's one of the most beautiful facilities of its type, I think in the whole country. And the whole town just turns itself inside out for the tournament. The people here really love it. Dr. Bill Davis, we're glad to have you up here and I'm sure Dixie's team. I've heard nothing but good about your sponsorship. We're glad to have you. Thank you for coming up at halftime and I'll let you get back and get a good seat for the second half anytime. Good to talk to you.
