Valley the same night. If the Dons are upset and the Owls win, another game between the latter would have to be played to determine who goes to the State playoffs in Fresno March 7. Both losses have come from the hands of De Anza. Last week the Rock Carlson fights through two Marin players. Dons defeated the Owls 66-65 in a Photo by Paul Sakuma crucial match before the biggest crowd in De Anza history. The game looked like a duplicate of the first match as De Anza took an early lead. Foothill managed to tie-the score at 14 before the Dons took a six point lead. The Owls missed three foul shots and committed tur­ novers which rose the Dons lead at halftime 34-18. Foothill connected on seven of 28 shots in the first half. The Owls played even in the second half but it wasn’t good enough. They finished the game shooting 36 percent while De Anza hit on 50 percent of its shots. There are many reasons why the Owls did’t fare too well that night. First, they were up against the third best defense in the state. Another is Mitch Plaat’s 24 points and substitute guard Mike Gregory 12 markers. The most important factor was the ability of De Anza’s center Russ Carlson to effectively shut off the scoring power of his counterparts Bob Ross and John Hollister. “We did not shoot well,” coach Jerry Cole said. “The ball didn’t go The Owls Jesse Wiggins pulls dowii rebound over De Anza’s Warren in the hole.
