Ben Lomond took the one point lead with a shot at the five second mark after which the Cats called timeout. Both Martineau and Wilkens had fouled out by this time so that limited the Cats in the play they could come up with. Woods Cross got the ball inbounds but pressure from the Scots prohibited them from getting off a shot. By DAVE WIGHAM SALT LAKE CITY - One of the biggest mysteries in coaching high school sports, no matter if theyre male or female, is the attitude of the team going into the tour- Three Officials In nament.

Right not its in the experimental stages but some of the higher archy are looking to install it as a permanent fixture. WOODS CROSS got Cats came out of nowhere to place third in the state, then this year they were marked as the team to beat and came away with nothing. CAN YOU see this in high school? Even in college its difficult to see the three-ma- n crew.

THREE OFFICIALS though, to this reporter and many others including coaches, bring on more problems than advantages. As one college coach said in regards to the three-officiact, I dont like it because in the crew you get one good official working with a mediocre one and a rookie. The other two try to show the good official and those watching that they are good. It becomes an ego thing. their points from Martineau, 15, before she had to watch from the bench. Fouls played a major role in the outcome of this contest as the Scots shot 19 charity tosses coming up good on eight of them. Following a heartbreaking loss like this, the gals never seemed to get back on track when they took on Bear River on Friday night. The Bears, a club the Cats beat twice in league action, took the victory to move into Saturdays round of action. IN THE opening round the Cats drew Pleasant Grove and showed most people why they 45-4- were so highly regarded as victhey waltzed to a tory. Maybe the team figured they had it all sewn up after such a devasting start. Val Wilkens and Carolyn led the Cats in their win over the Vikings with Martineau scoring 24 and Wilkens another 15. As it turned out this was the only club outside of their region that Woods Cross played. Ironically too it was the only win in the tournament as two clubs they had beaten in league action came up with a little revenge. 63-4- 3 Mar-tinea- TRUE, THE crew wouldnt consist of three top officials, not in regular season games anyway. So that means at least one of the crew wouldnt be working if it n were the normal crew. Then in the NCAA tournament they say they had the best officials in the country. This may be true but there were certainly some glaring problems in the system. Each of the three officials came from different conferences and parts of the country. They call the game differently in parts of the country. two-ma- THE POOR players didn't know what to expect. With the team could discern what type of game they would let you play, with three its tough. Watching the Utah game on the tube with the three officials, one could see the different styles each official liked to call. One of the three let the rebounders go after it, another didnt and the third didnt seem to take a stand on the issue. It was tough for those big guys to look and see which one of the three was under the bucket to determine if they could rebound with authority. two officials THE WILDCATS played them evenly for most of the game with each club taking turns leading, with the Bears finally on top. Many observers felt like the Wildcat girls were still disappointed u from the night before. For the Wildcats it was a bad ending to a great year, but then remember most of the gals will be back next year when the Cats enter a brand new league against the likes of Highland, Viewmont and Bountiful. ON THURSDAY the Wildcats were paired against the Ben Lomond club that they THOSE GALS who helped the Cats through the great season were Wilkens, Martineau, Cheryl Cleverly, Chim Greeg, Janet Williams, Gerry Jardine, Becky Petersen and Linda Jones. had defeated twice in Region Four action.

Viewmont refused to die and came on strong in the final period outscoring their Cache Valley opponents but this time the clock, ran out on them.
