Show Ben Lomond Beacon, Feb. 23, 1978, Page 7 back Warriors on winning track By Glen Adams Beacon Sports The Weber High basketball team erupted on their home floor Tuesday evening in grand fashion to defeat Region One opponent Bonneville by a substantial margin 0 in a game they had to win to stay alive in the region championship race against Roy. The Royals did the same by defeating Clearfield by a slim score on the Falcon hard85-6- 67-6- 5 woods. Webers victory jumped their 2 record to tied with Roy and both teams remain deadlocked for the top into spot going Friday nights final games in the regular season before the playoffs start 11-- on March 6th. Weber faces a critical game Friday against Clearfield, who would like nothing better than to get revenge for the Weber victory earlier in the season, and spoil Webers chances for the region championship. Roy also faces a crucial match-u- p Friday when they host Bountiful, whose record doesnt do them justice. Bountiful is capable of an upset if Roy thinks they have got this one wrapped up before the game gets underway. In Webers totally dominant victory over the luckless Lakers, four players scored in double figures; Mark Montgomery with a game high 29 points, Brad Hall who came in off the bench to cash in on 17, with his best performance of the year, followed by Steve Trawick, who left the game early with a broken ankle, added 14 and Ray Coleman being his old self again by hitting from outside SCORING TWO of his game high 29 points, Mark Montgomery goes up high to score off the glass for Weber. Montgomery; last year s leading rebounder in Region One, ripped down 15 to pace the Warrior's . JflCIOrf over Bonneville',' T 85-60- ( with 11 points. The Warriors were awesome on rebounding as they ripped the boards for 53 compared to the Laker effort of 28. Mark Montgomery along with his 29 points, played one of his best games of the year by ripping down 15 rebounds to lead aU others in that department with Bruce Thorpe adding an impressive 12 rebounds. Bonnevilles leading scorers in double figures were Craig Stagg with 18, Chris Jugler added 12 and Kurt Child, who fouled out early in the game scored 10 to lead the Laker attack. Although the Lakers shot 46 percent in the first period of the game, compared to Webers 45 per cent, the Warriors outscored 4 to surge into their opponents the lead, a lead that Bonneville could not get close to through the remainder of the contest. Weber shot nine of 20 through the hoop and connected on three of six from the foul line while Bonneville hit six of 13 and two of four from the line and found themselves behind by seven points going into the second eight 21-1- 21-1- 4 minutes. Second period action saw Weber shoot for 44 per cent hitting nine of 20 from the field but shooting poorly from the line with no shots being scored out of four. Bonneville although shooting a miserable 23 per cent from the field (five of 22) managed to put in six of eight free throws including two because of a technical call against Webers coach Dick found themselves Conolly, at the trailing by only eight half. The key to this game was defense on Webers part as they kept pressuring the Lakers to shoot from the outside, which they did and were unable to capitalize on a lot of their shots. Bonneville shot 35 per cent from the field in the third period hitting only six of 17 shots and were one of three from the line. Weber 38-3- 0 remained consistant by shooting 45 per cent capitalizing on nine of 20 from the field and were four of eight from the line as they ballooned to a 17 point advantage going into the final eight minutes of the game. Brad Hall, Webers back-u- p center to Bruce Thorpe came alive in the final period to score 11 of his 17 points and the Warriors led by as many as 31 points as the team shot for 63 per cent from the field and hit five of 12 from the line. The frustrated Lakers could do no right as they kept putting up shots from the outside that would not fall as they shot 35 per cent connecting on only six of 17 and five of 10 from the free throw mark. The Lakers were called for three technical fouls in this period, two on coach Hansen and one on a player, which added to their many problems and their eventual defeat by a 0 thrashing, their worst defeat of the season. Weber High who will finish far better than expected by everyone including Coach Conolly had a goal of finishing at least fourth in the Region. The team has played better than our expectations, exclaimed Conolly, and we have a new goal, that being the Region Championship! 85-6- WEBER tgomery-29- , Coleman-11Jensen-5- , Total-85- .

Websr may lose Trawick game During third quarter action in the last Tuesday night, 61 senior forward Steve Trawick left the game with what was thought to be a sprained ankle. After an Steve uncomfortable night and a trip to the hospital for is wearing a cast for a fracture that may put him on the sidelines for the remainder of the season, including the much sought after state playoffs. Pending a second opinion from an orthopedic surgeon, Coach Dick Conolly is considering his leading scorer out until further notice. Conolly stated in a phone interview that Losing Steve means losing one of our best passers, our leading scorer, and our team leader. That cuts us in those categories pretty deep to the heart." Trawick is the team captain and leader, and high scorer for the Warriors, averaging 14.6 points per game. Weber-Bonnevil- Wrestlers finish high in Because of the possibility of an old fracture showing up on a second medical opinion is being requested by the Steves family. Treatment for the injury has begun, and there is a slight possibility that the injury may not be as bad as is feared If not, there is good chance that Trawick will see action later in the playoffs. Players for the Warriors feel, like Coach Conolly, that Trawicks injury is indeed tragic, especially from the standpoint of the Warrior's outstanding record and the part that Trawick played in gaining that record. The team members stand behind Steve and know that they have his support, even if it has to come from the stands, but they also realize what his great contribution has done for the team.
