Coach Charlie Whitings Granite Farmers lost two games last week; one by at Bear River, where Coach Whiting said his team just didnt play very well and the other, Friday night at home, was to Sky in a game in which View, Whiting said his team played much better. Granite will play at Woods Cross tonight (Tuesday) at 7:30 and will next see action on Dec. 30, when it travels across town to play Kearns. In the Wednesday game at Bear River, the Farmers had a lead at the half and still led by two at the end of three; The game stayed close until near the end when the Farmers let the game slip away as, on their last three possessions, they missed on five free throw attempts while the Bears were scoring six points on their three possessions. The Farmers again exhibited deadly accuracy from the three point shot area as they scored on seven of nine "homer" attempts with Scott Walton hitting on five of six attempts. Walton also hit 7x11 on regular shots on his way to a 31 point outing. David Davis chipped in with 12. Coach Whiting said that he could see at once in Friday nights game against Sky View that his team was in for a long evening. 73-7- 0, 81-6- 2 33-3- 1 41-3- -- He felt that Sky View was the best team that he has seen this year as they were big inside and had good shooters from the outside. To make the problem worse Granite had problems hitting their shots in the first quarter when they scored only four points and were behind at one time in the second quarter by Coach Whiting further elaborated that it seemed that whatever his team tried didnt work well as when they collapsed on Sky Views big people inside that the visitors from Cache Valley hit from the outside. He was very pleased with the way his team played during the latter part of the game, but with Sky View hitting over 70 percent of its shots all-stat- that there just wasnt much doubt of the outcome. He also felt that if his team had played as well in the earlier defeat at Bear River that they would have won handily. Scott Walton led his team with 20 while Ken Christensen had ten and the rest of the scoring was evenly distributed. Whiting feels that his team has had some very tough competition in the and feels that both Woods Cross and Kearns mil continue that trend but it will help his team when they begin play in Region Six when they open at South on Jan. 5. e all-are- all-are- a a 6-- Leonard Chitty, a 155 pound place kicker hailing from Riverton and Alta high school, is still turning heads with his long range kicking and near perfect record in points after.
