As is the case with most Provo teams, they battled back before the close of the first half on a 10-4 run. A determined Bulldog team began the second half with redemption on their minds - Provo held Pleasant Pleas-ant Grove scoreless for the first three minutes of the half. While the Vikings struggled strug-gled to regain their offensive offen-sive composure, Provo went on a 10-2 run to take a 32-31 lead midway through the third period. With the damage done and their lead gone, Pleasant Pleas-ant Grove finally recaptured recap-tured their confidence and battled back to a 37-37 tie heading into the final quarter. During the third quarter, quar-ter, Bilbro again led all Vikings with half of Pleasant Pleas-ant Grove's eight points during the quarter. In the fourth quarter both teams played nerv ously, and both turned the ball over in the final minute of action. One of two key plays in the game came with four minutes remaining in the game when Provo had built a three-point advantage and appeared to have taken the Vikings out of their offensive offen-sive setup. With heavy defensive pressure, Greg Thurgood took a pass out of a time out and nailed an NBA-length NBA-length three-point bucket to even the score, r With only a few seconds remaining' on the game clock, Bilbro hit a short jumper to tie the score at 44 and force the game into an extra four minutes of play. During the overtime period tempers flared and Provo was hit with a technical tech-nical foul that appeared to ice the game for the Vikings. After making two free throws, " Pleasant Grove held a four-point lead and the ball. However, having experienced experi-enced the pressure of a state championship game last season, the Bulldogs know what it takes to win a game.

Utah's .highs II country,- ice anglers lookjorward to new adventure3nYRth friends on the frozeniulace. Although fancy ice fishing equipment can easily be purchased at sporting goods stores statewide, hardwater fishing can be experienced with little lit-tle or no additional fishing tackle. As the ice becomes safe on Utah's lakes and reservoirs, many anglers will experience, for the first time, the joys and frustrations of ice fishing. Provided are a few suggestions to enjoy this sport to it's fullest. Neoprene gloves are great for ice fishing, especially especial-ly when handling your fish and bait. These gloves do provide1 some great insulation insula-tion from the cold and fit close enough to your hand to feel the subtle hits, which are not observed visually. Dress in layers. One heavy coat is much less effective effec-tive than several lighter layers, lay-ers, which can . easily be added or removed, as conditions condi-tions change;1 Neoprene waders have proven to be a great outer clothing barrier for short periods of time (these will eventually sweat on the inside and can become uncomfortable as cold sets in, but offer additional safety, in' case you fall in). Hand warmers, available at sporting sport-ing goods stores, have also proven to be beneficial on cold mornings. Large warm boots should be worn to insulate your feet from the freezing ice Your feet will often feel the effects of cold first. Avoid tight fitting boots, which restrict blood flow to your r toes. Without sufficient blood . flow, your feet will be unable to stay warm. Eat plenty of high . caloric food, before leaving, to fuel your furnace. Fats and carbohydrates will help you stay warmer, longer, as you stand out in the elements. Avoid alcohol in that it provides pro-vides no warming value and distorts clear tMnking,. Your summer fishing rod can be easily used for ice fishing, but shorter rods are better, as they allow you to fish closer to the hole. You will want a sensitive sensi-tive rod tip to help observe the subtle hits. Petroleum jelly or Blakemore's Line and Reel Magic, available at many sporting goods stores, will help prevent ice buildup on the rod guides, which can become very frustrating.. Keeping your baits in your coat will prevent them from freezing and becoming unusable. Powerbait and cheese will quickly freeze hard and become impossible to place on your hook if you leave it on the ice. Tipping your Kastmas-ter, Kastmas-ter, jig, or spoon with a mealworm, meal-worm, nightcrawler, or perch meat can greatly increase your success. Allow your bait to touch the bottom and raise it . approximately 1 foot before jigging slowly to entice your favorite game fish. Place your first hole relatively rel-atively close to shore (if the ice is relatively new on the lake) because many fish feed in the shallows, prior to ice up. Later in the season, try the deeper water, as the fish seek warmer water and higher oxygen levels. Great waters to try may include Strawberry, Scofield, Utah Lake, Quail Creek, "1 Photo by Brian Brinkerhoff This young Ice Angler proudly shows off his catch recently caught at Scofield Reservoir. Rockport, Bear Lake, Fish Lake, and East Canyon. Bring a kitchen ladle to remove ice forming over your fishing hole. Ice builds up quickly and the ladle will make ice removal much easier. easi-er. An ice auger is a worthwhile worth-while investment. It is much easier to use these on thicker ice than trying to break through with a spud bar. If you do use a spud bar to break through the ice, hold on tightly or that last thrust could send the bar plunging to the bottom of the lake. Successful baits include Powerbait, cheese, meal- . worms, salmon eggs, chub or sucker meat, crawdad imitating imi-tating jigs, and various spoons used in combination with these baits. Remember to purchase your new 2005 Utah Fishing License and Habitat Authorization Autho-rization before heading out in the new year. Ice fishing can be a fun and rewarding experience with the appropriate appro-priate clothing and equipment. i rlLHll'lliHTlllMllHaJilllJIIMIIrrf ij M'. i i i iniunii n iiiii! ir, iri-i t-tr: . j n ' !8" the 1 ft: Sour current lifestyle and be debt-free (including your Pofin;inrin2 not " a ' uu average m lew mail n ycoio. o - - no debt negotiations!
