This is by far the worst game the Weber team has had from the line. Weber had to shoot 83 per cent from the charity stripe to defeat Clearfield, who shoots at an 80 per cent average from the line, the highest in the region. One has to believe that the tension and pressure of the Clearfield game left the Warriors unable to shoot consistantly at the line against Viewmont. Weber coach Dick Conolly had this to say about the free throw shooting: No one can convince me that we cant shoot free throws, after shooting the way we did at Clearfield. The difference in the two games is concentration, what the player knows mentally he can do, what he wants to do, probably more than what he can do, with the question in the players mind being, Do I want to shoot and make it, or not? Warriors Ray Coleman and Mark Montgomery combined for 15 points in the first period to vault Weber into the lead by 10 points with 1:52 in Weber the hit of their nine period. remaining first 11 shots to put the Vikings in the hole.

In the second period Webers field percentage plummeted to 33 per cent hitting only five of 15 and scoring three of six from the l;ne. Viewmont capitalized on the Warriors troubles, as they pulled into the lead for the first time in the game with 5:30 remaining at The Vikes led by as much as three points before Weber regained the lead on some costly Viewmont turnovers.
