DIX AREA TEAMS PLACE AT STATE Three of our Region 15 teams showed well at the State Tournament, this last weekend. The Panguitch Bobcats reached the championship game against Layton Christian by easily defeating Monticello 72 to 51, Christian Heritage 58 to 40, and Whitehorse 65 to 47. In the title game they dropped a heartbreaker to Layton Christian, 62 to 56. The Cats led 49 to 47 beginning the 4th quarter but then the Eagles went on a 15 to 7 run to seal the win. In quarter number two, Cameron Leach received an elbow to the head that stunned him for awhile and opened a gash above the eye, and Bobcat's fans held their breath, but Leach returned to open the third quarter with a bucket, and the fans heaved a sigh of relief. For the Tourney, Leach had four games with double-double figures,and finished his brilliant career with 26 out of 27 games this season in double-double figures. Tournament totals for the Cat's three top scorers were- Cameron Leach with 73 points and 57 rebounds, Josh Bateman with 63 points and 4 three pointers, and Brady Barney with 49 points and 8 from the 3 point arc. Tyler Pollock finished his fine career at the point with 16 points and 4 stellar floor games. Earlier in the day, the Escalante Moquis clashed with the Rich Rebels for the Consolation crown, and 6th place in the Tournament. Tim Hughes led the Moquis with a career type game, with 5 from 3 point range and an 18 point total. Mike Munson followed with 11 and 1 three pointer, as the Moquis went on to win 60 to 59. In a thriller against Whtehorse, the Piute Thunderbirds eked out a 41 to 39 win when Brandon Gleave hit a baseline jumper with just 1.6 seconds left in the game, to capture the 3rd place slot in the Tourney. Senior Scott Dalton closed out his great career with 10 points, Kelsie Newby had 10, and Kyle Heitman and Trever Torgerson each canned 6. So, Region 15 finishers were-Panguitch 2nd, Piute 3rd, and Escalante 6th. • -My personal congratulation to all three teams and their coaching staffs. Thank you for a great and exciting season guys. All though I'm rumored to bleed only Bobcat Blue, believe me, I am a fan of all my friends in our area. Thanks again!!!!!! Congratulations Bobcats for an exciting and great season!!!!!
