Woods Cross, Bountiful Lose GARY HATCH Review Sports Editor Woods Cross and Bountiful faced tough road trips to Salt Lake City Friday and came away empty handed. The Wildcats lost 0 to the East Leopards, who have by far thb best region record and are rated third in the state in the class captains poll. Bountiful was relegated to the roll of a spoiler with no chance of a berth in the state tournament when the Braves lost to Highland The games were key matchups for both teams, and both were well prepared. ; Wildcat coach Clyde Jackson's team packed its zone defense in around Easts Reid Monson and Ed Peterson, but sophomore forward Josh Grant pumped in a 22 points, mostly game-hig- h from the outside, to spell doom for Woods Cross. I think the big difference in the Game was the play of Josh Grant, Jackson said. We were prepared for their, inside game, but when Grant kept putting in those shots from the outside, it really hurt us. Bountiful was also prepared for Highlands pressing defense. I think we played well. They were pressing us the whole game, and our kids handled it', very well. Wed been practicing beating their press all week, 60-5- said assistant coach Stan Bu-- ; chanan. But the real story of the game was at the foul line. We outs- -' cored them by six field goals; ' but they shot 32 free throws to our 15. It was hard to justify the foul situation, especially when they were the ones pressing the whole game. Buchanan added. East and Highland are now assured the top two spots in the region and berths in the state ; tourney. Last nights games, which oc- - j cur after press time for this j weeks edition of the Lakeside Review, may decide which j teams will represent the region as the third- - and fourth-plac- e ' teams. .
