Bountiful Steams, Presses, Hangs West Up To Dry GARY HATCH Review Sports Editor The Bountiful defense pressed and pressed until West Highs offense went flat and then the Brave offense steamed the Panther's nets with plus 50 percent shooting on the night. When it was over Bountiful hung West up to dry, Both Bountiful and Roy bounded back from the Christmas bas75-4- 6. ketball moratorium with wins over West and Skyview, respectively, while Davis and Clearfield fell in lopsided losses to Bonneville and Bingham in Friday action. Viewmont was scheduled to play host to Ogden Saturday in a game too late for the Review to cover because of early holiday deadlines. Woods Cross and Layton were idle this weekend. Bountiful 75, West 46 Hall had the luxury of substituting freely through the second half and had a whole new lineup in the game with four minutes still to go. Hall realizes right now he has a good thing with this team and is adamant about keeping it going. We are not near where we need to be. We have a lot of improving to do. We were in this same position last year and then lost the first five league games. We have to keep getting better, because the good teams show up in February and March," Hall said. Tim Izatt led the Braves in a balanced scoring attack with Todd Allen followed with 17. 14, Mike Thalman netted 13 and Darren Dean added 12. Hall said Thalman played a particularly effective game against the Panthers.

Most teams expect to come quarter 30-;1- 1 back from the forced holiday season hiatus a little ragged and sluggish. But it looked like Bountiful used the time to store up energy they would later unleash on unsuspecting victims. Bountiful coach Mike Hall was pleased with the teams play espe- cially since they couldnt work out over the holidays. For just coming off the holidays we played pretty good. Its nice to get one like this, because everyone gets a chance to play, Hall said. 3. something theyve done several times this season. Roy not only lost its lead but fell behind by eight late in the game. From there the Royals went to work. I thought everyone played good defensively especially down at the wire, coach Ted Smith said. Our defense at the end was pretty darn good. They have a good team and for us to go up there and win like that under the circumstances was good for us we finally pulled one out, Smith added. o scoring punch. Roys one-tw- Eric Jorgenson and Mark Newey, combined for all but eight of the Royals points. Jorgenson scored 24 while Newey added 22. Roy plays at Viewmont today at 7:30 p.m. The two teams met in the Box Elder tournament earlier in the season when Viewmont won the game in triple overtime. ' i'ri kw.VV v , v , i f l 1 ' ?.'"s .

Davis got down 6 at the end of the first quarter, and although they came to within four points in the third quarter, they were never able to take the lead. They lost We didnt play very good at all, said coach Mike Gardner. We have only had the one practice since the Christmas break and it showed. We didnt shoot well or do the other things we needed to do, Gardner said. Before this game the Darts had been on a bit of a roll, winning three of their last four. Gardner felt good about his teams progress up to that point. I was very disappointed in our performance last night. We have been getting people in every game, and in the in the West Jordan game we had three in the 20s. Last night we just barely got one player in double figures Casey (Lloyd) got 11. We didnt shoot well from the outside and thats something we need to do to be' successful, Gardner said. In addition to Lloyds 11, Meier scored nine points.

The Miners played an aggressive, physical defense that looked like it took the Falcons out of their offensive scheme most of the second half. Greg Boykin, who had 10 points, was the only Falcon to score in double figures. He was followed by Lee Parry with nine points and Mike Call with eight. Two Local Figure Skaters Qualify For National Meet For the first time in the history of Bountiful figure skating, two local skaters have qualified for the National Championships. Because of their high finishes in the Pacific Coast Sectional one of three sectional competitions across the United States Holly Cook of Bountiful and Kenna Bailey of Centerville will advance to the National Figure Skating Championships to be 3 in Kansas held Jan. 28-Fe- b. City, Mo. A third competitor, Nicole Garrett of Centerville, skated in the Sectionals in Dublin, Calif., but competed in the Intermediate Ladies Division, which does not send any finalists to the national meet. Miss Cook placed second overall in the Junior Ladies Division on the basis of a showing in her mandatory figures, fourth place in her short program routine and a strong d-place finish in her long routine. Miss Bailey, with a third place finish overall in the Novice Ladies Division, was strongest in third-plac- e secon- her figures where she placed second. She placed fourth in her long, or freestyle, routine. Miss Garrett finished 10th overall, placing 11th in her figures, but skated her way to a fourth-plac- e finish in her freestyle routine. The novice and intermediate divisions do not include the short program as part of the judged competition as the junior division does. The short program lasts just two minutes and includes seven prescribed moves. The long program includes no set movements the skaters must accomplish. The three girls were among just 14 contestestants in each division at the competition. They earned the right to compete for the Sectionals by scoring high in regional competition. Miss Cook and Miss Bailey both placed first in their respective divisions at the regionals and Miss Garrett placed third. It has been 2 years since a skater from the area has qualified for the national championship tournament and it is the first 10-1- time two skaters have qualified the same year, according to Evelyn Foot, publicity manager for the Bountiful ice skating club. Even though Miss Cook placed third in her figures a strong Mrs. Foot said Mis showing Cooks strong area is in her long program. She never missed a step, said Mrs. Foot of Miss Cooks routine in the sectionals. She has a difficult freestyle routine. It has two triple jumps in it and one of those is in combination with another double, so that makes it even more difficult. Last year, the girl who won the national title didnt even have a triple jump in her routine, Mrs. Foot said. Miss Baileys strong point is her figures, but also has a good freestyle routine, Mrs. Foot said. All three girls are 14 years old and attend area junior high schools. Miss Cook and Miss Garrett attend Bountiful Junior High and Miss Bailey attends Centerville Junior High.
