V- - Page 5 THE DUGWAY SAMPLER, Friday, March 14, 1980 Season V first loss Mustangs drop Region 11 title to Park City Most of the oddsmaJcers had Dugway in a close one over the Park City 11 Ntinm for the title because they were undefeated and had beaten Region the Miners earlier in the year. Well, chalk one up for revenge. Paced by some inspired play by Marty Cowins, Park 66 center who had been ill all week with the flu, the Minen ended Citys Dugways 18 game win streak and collected the Region 11 crown with a 55-4- 9 victory March 1 in kamas. ' Thesix point spread, however, wasnt indicative of the Miners domination. Only a fourth quarter surge Park from by the Mustangs prevented City claiming an even more convincing win. ke last three weeks of the regular season, Dugway had been getting with by good performances in only one or two quarters of a game. Against the Miners, though, their poor start became an indication of things to come. DUGWAY turned the ball over 13 times in the first half and let Park City rule the offensive boards. Seniors' Eric VanLiere and Greg Brown also encountered problems. VanUere didnt have a bad game statistic-wis- e with 21 ponits on eight of 14 shooting. But what the senior would probably like back is a second stretch when he suffered quarter through four straight misses as the Miners liegan building on a 13 point halftime lead. For Brown, it was, a case of being doublet earned. Having outplayed .owins earlier this year at home, the senior simply couldnt get untracked ( this time out. At one point. Cowins twice blocked Brown on the same play. . THE Mustangs also found the going rough due to the Miners inside toughness We knew they were going to be physical, coach George Bruce related, "so I was hoping for a referee team which would call the game close. When I hoard who Was doing the game, I knew we were in trouble. ' Bruce was referring to Marion Thompson and Bob Burrows, who called the game as a push and shove battle. Because of it. Brown bloodied his nose and Bruce was slapped with a technical foul mid-wa- y through the second quarter. THERE were other times, Bruce pointed out, where two players collided with each other and no call was made." But jiecaase the Mustangs have successfully played against physical teams all year, Bruce wasnt, using the refereeing as a crutch. Instead, he admitted his teams mental preparedness wasnt what it should have been. We just werent there, he explained, . . .when was the last time Paul (Mohammed) drove down court on a three on one break and had the ball stolen from behind? Hie question needs no answer, and that kind of play typified Mus tangs aggressiveness through nearly four quarters. n defense but the Miners had no Dugway opened the game in a in difficulty handling, and beating it. Park Citys shot selection consisted of nothing but five footers and easy layups, and with three minutes gone in the game the Miners made a steal at halfcourt arid converted for a 10-- lead. VANLIERE and Brown both netted 15 footers, and VanLiere drove the lane for a leaner to close the gap to five, 14-But Dugway lost the ball three times with bad passes in the next two minutes, and with 5:08 left in the second period the Mustangs were down by 10 thanks to an inability to block out on the boards. At the half, the Miners led 36-2WHATEVER problems Dugway had encountered up to now Himinkhd to spit in a bucket in the third quarter as the Mustangs missed nine straight shots in scoring only seven points in eight minutes. Mohammeds steal and layup with 1:19 left in the quarter was the Mustangs first score and left them down by 17, 42-2- 5. From here it seemed over. But Bruces quintet wasnt through yet. ' VANLIERE and Brown connected on five footers to trail by 14, 43-2- 9 at the end of three periods but Dugway outscored the Miners 12-- 2 to fall behind by only four, 45-4- 1 with 3:21 remaining in the game. But it wasnt to be. With 2:37 left. Brown fouled out. At the 53 second mark Mohammed was gone. THE Mustangs last two opportunities faded also as VanLiere missed on a 25 footer and Dugway suffered a turnover. Though Dugway played poorly, Bruce did find some solace in his teams fourth quarter play. We played well when we made that run at them, and in the third quarter we held them to only seven points. But he added, We just werent ready to play. man-to-ma- 10-fo- ot A shorter written test, more ami performance phasis on testing and faster feedback highlight upcoming changes to the Skill Quali- -' fi cat ion Test (SQT), according to DA J The Army Chief of Staff approved certain changes this week which will lie made on the SQT s fielded during FY 81, officials said.
