Lady Skyhawks Fly High The “Lady Skyhawks” of Snowcrest Jr. High recently finished one of the most successful basketball seasons 1n the school’s history. The only team to finish with any better record was the championship team of 1996. This year’s “Lady Skyhawks” finished their regular season with a 5 and 2 record, giving up only four points in their two losses. They had a one-point loss to Wahlquist and a three-point loss to Rocky Mountain. Four other teams in the Weber District finished with 5-2 records so they had to play 1n a “tie-breaker” play-off in order to earn their spot in the post-season tournament. Snowcrest defeated Wahlquist by 12 points in the “tiebreaker” play-off to earn their spot in the post-season tournament. Thus finishing with a 6-2 record, which was equal to that of South Ogden Jr. High. Even though the Skyhawks defeated South Ogden in their first regular mined season that a game, it was “coin deter- flip” would decide which team got the 15! and ond ment. place position in the Unfortunately, tourna- Snowcrest lost the coin toss and ended up with the 2nd place seed 1n the tournament. So, once again, the Sky- hawks would go to battle against the Eagles from Wahlquist with the winner advancing to the championship game against the winner of the South/Rocky Mountain game. As many Valley residents wondered what was up with the quote on the marquee, “Skyhawks fly higher!” the girls basketball team went to work and defeated the Eagles again, from with Wahlquist, a score of 39-31. once The “Lady Skyhawks of 2000” would be one of only two teams in Snowcrest’s history to play in a championship game. South defeated Rocky Mountain, thus setting the stage for the battle between the two best teams in the league. It would have been nice to have played on a neutral court for the championship. Since South got the “home court advan- tage” the Skyhawks traveled to the “Land of the Spartans™ on Friday, March 315t It was really exciting to “Skyhawk Pride” generated group of hard-working ladies. The great students at crest rallied around their see the by this young Snowteam, bearing the SKYHAWKS letters on their chests and wearing Skyhawk blue and silver all over their faces and shirts. Three busloads and many carloads of students, fans, and parents filled up almost half of the bleachers in South Ogden’s small gymnasium. The whistle blew and the game began. It was a hard fought game. The shots didn’t seem to fall for the Lady Skyhawks that day, but they never gave up, they fought through tothe very end. After having acouple days to get over the loss and to think about what a great season they had, Kristi Toponce, one of the 9th graders on the team, said 1t well, “We didn’t lose 15! place, we won 20d place in the district!” The key factor that made girls enter the championship was that they never gave up. these game Earn- ing honors as “players of the game,’ atleastonce during the season, were: Candace SKYHAWKS Mau, to the diligent efforts of Beverly Burnett Stringham, a great granddaughter of the pioneer family that occupied the Eden cabin during the turn of the century. Beverly states that the effort has been rewarding. It has been rewarding to know that this cabin will stand as a monument, not only for our family, but also to so many other descendants of early families who crossed the plains and settled the land under harsh conditions. Many families endured the same type of experiences.

The prospect of bringing together the descendants of William and Sarah Jane to pay tribute to these ancestors, and to gather to become acquainted or reacquainted with other Burnett family members 1is also very satisfying. She is also appreciative of those who helped with the restoration of the cabin. She 1s appreciative of Mr. Sowers for maintaining the old structure, and grateful that the original builder, built it to with- stand many, many harsh Valley winters. The cabin was built in a unique way, in contrast to the way most of the cabins in the area of that time were built. The cabin was built using the Mortise and Tenon joint technique to hold together the boards that support the roof. The method used to cut the logs was also a unique technique from Sweden.
