Consolation the first quarter, but we were so tight we couldn't hit. In the last quarter, Joe Bertach had some close-in shots but he couldn't hit them; either. "We use the 1-3-1 zonje and the kids have to be mentally alert for that. We weren't They (Western) got some weak-side shots." "Both teams were tight," said Western Coach Gene Hospers. "This is a nice victory for us, in our first time in the tournament We can play better and I hope we do Thursday." Don Van Den Top, the No.

6 scorer in Class 2-A, was Western's scoring leader with 16 points. He was playing with a back injury and had it treated before the game. StEdmw the consolation winner CLASS 2-A Please turn to Page 2B By RICK BROWN John LaBonia's magic touch prevailed once again Wednesday night in Veterans Memorial Auditorium. His eighth-ranked Maroons opened first-round play in the Boys' State Class 3-A basketball tournament with a 66-44 victory over Southeast Polk. No.

6 North Sioux City sidelined Washington of Cedar Rapids in the nightcap, 45-31. They will meet at 2:15 p.m. Friday in a semifinal contest. Two more first-round games are on tap today, with No. 3 Wahlert of Dubuque (20-2) playing West Waterloo 11-11) at 12:35 p.rr., and top-ranked Lincoln of Des Moines (20-1) meeting No.

5 Assumption of Davenport (18-3) in a 2:15 p.m. contest LaBonia's state tournament record is 7-0, thanks to this victory and championships at St. Albert of Council Bluffs in 1975 and Dowiing in 1979. In fact the only time he has seen a GLASS 3-A team lose here was in regular-season play this year. The Maroons played on the Auditorium floor three times, winning two and losing to Lincoln, 72-64, in the final game of the regular season.

It was LaBonia's Maroons that handed the Railsplitters their only loss of the year at Vets by an 87-83 score in double overtime. "Let's not get into that magic charm," said LaBonia after watching his team win its 18th game of the season in 22 starts. "I don't think we played extremely well or anything like that" Except for one Southeast Polk spurt, in the second quarter, which had melted a 22-8 deficit down to 22-16, the outcome wasn't really in doubt And it was shortly after that rally that the Rams' Doug Sandquist who finished with 11 points, headed to the bench with his third foul. Both LaBonia and Southeast Polk Coach Gene West felt that was a contributing factor to the outcome of the contest The Rams' frigid shooting was their Achilles heel all night Making its first appearance at state, Southeast Polk shot just 23.3 percent (seven of 30) from the field in the opening 16 minutes, committed 12 turnovers and fell behind, 29-18. They never got closer than 10 points the rest of the night For the game, the Rams, bowing out at 14-8, shot 30.5 percent (18-59).

There was some very ndbrfhooting in the three Boys' State Class 2-A high school tournament basketball games at Veterans Memorial Auditorium Wednesday. There was some good shooting, too, but the bad exhibitions helped lead to defeats for Regis of Cedar Rapids, which was one of the tournament favorites, and Carlisle. St Edmond of Fort Dodge had a horrendous first, quarter and a mediocre third but offset that by hitting at 80 and 83 percent in the second and final periods.

That allowed the Gaels of Fort Dodge, ranked fifth by The Register, to slip past No. 9 Waukon, 61-56. The game was No. 2 in the lineup before a crowd of 9,200. In the Wednesday opener, unranked CUSS 2-A Western Christian of Hull upset No.

Maple toppled Knoxville, 54-52, Tuesday night One of the reasons Regis was given the nod at winning the title was its competition with Class 3-A teams. It had six losses, two each to three 3-A schools. They included Washington of Cedar Rapids and Wahlert of Dubuque, which are in the 3-A field. But Western Christian had 3-A competition, too, with three of its losses coming to Sioux City schools. Regis missed its first 10 shots and was only 2-for-14 in the first quarter and Western jumped to a 14-4 lead -early in the second quarter.

The Royals battled back and led, 32-31, with 5 minutes 57 seconds to play. There were a lot of missed opportunities by both teams, but Brad Boer, a 6-5 forward who is the third-best scorer in the, class, finally showed authority and sank four free throws in the last :31 to give Western theyictory. Another Regis problem was the poor shooting of 6-4 center Chris Schheider, who averages 16 points but banly eight Wednesday. Rhythm Off "His rhythm was off," explained Regis Coach Dick Breitbach. "He just missed some good shots.
