Holland won the sectional at Huntingburg last year. too. then lost to strong New’ Albany by a single point in the regional. “Being consistent and having good balance has been our keynote,” said Neel. Holland’s coach for three seasons. "We didn't play real good against Jasper, played good against Huntingburg and tremendous against St. Ferdinand.” he said. “We always seem to rise to the occasion. We played St. Ferdinand three times and each time they pushed us to the limit.” he said. “And this is the time of year we want our boys to make their move.” The Dutchmen from Dubois County are built around a 6-3 guard. Don Buse. who averages about 23 points a game and leads in rebounds, too. Holland is known for its “mad -dog” defense, which Neel explained is a multiple defense consisting of about seven variations, including a full - court press. “Our defense varies with the type of game it is,” explained Neel. “We practice real hard and wear heavy duty shoes to strengthen our legs.” Being unbeaten helps his club be a “bit more determined to stay that way,” said Masterson.
“These kids are pretty intelligent,” he said. "They don’t like the idea of losing.” Three of Masterson’s starters —Larry Lamb, Kevin Stailey and Danny Bush —are straight “A” students. Bush is the team's leading scorer and leader with an average of about 28 points and Mike Fields is president of the senior class. The starters all average in double figures. These boys have been playing together since junior high school and know each other’s moves with eyes closed. Still. Masterson figured it’ll be a real dogfight against Holland. "The fact hot’ are 23-0 probably means one team won’t let the other get away for any sizeable lead.” he said. “We’re just going down there and see if we can’t win two more games.” Holland represents the smallest school left in the tourney with just 118 students. Oolitic has less than 300. yet both can use more regional tickets. Holland has a population of about 750 and got nearly 850 tickets. “We need more than 200 more,” said Neel. Oolitic, with a population of about 1.600. got about a thousand ducats. “We could sell another thousand.” lamented Masterson.
