Show BJ).Ai FLASHES by Jim Abplanalp LOCALS SET HOOP RECORDS The local peep hoopsters wound up regular season play Tuesday night in a blaze of glory,' as they set some new records for high school competition. Although the Miners failed to gain an entry into the "B" tourney, tour-ney, they turned in what is believed be-lieved to be a team scoring record re-cord as they easily downed Dug-way Dug-way 109 to 46. The other new record re-cord was set by none other than big likeable Jack Mannion. Jack scored with every conceivable shot in the book to total 22 field goals and 6 charity tosses for the amazing record breaking count of 50 points. The entire Miner squad concentrated on helping Big Jack run up a new record, and the results were about as everyone expected. In the first eight minutes of play, Mannion caught fire and scored the unbelievable total of 25 points, (shades of the fabulous Bevo Francis). The big lad cooled cool-ed off somewhat for the next two periods, but again busted loose for another spree in the final five or six minutes. Some people may say this was against an easy team but here's a few accomplishments of the state's outstanding prep hoop star; Jack amassed a total of 298 points for 11 league games, gam-es, an average of 26.9 per game. Four of these games were against Cyprus and Murray, two of the best B teams in the state, and both considered the best defensively. defen-sively. Jack's second best output was against Murray, with 38 points. In his last five league games he scored something like this: 38 against Murray, 24 against again-st Tooele, 37 against Grantsville, 32 at Judge, and 50 in his final at Bingham against Dugway. This adds up to 181 points for 5 games or believe it or not, a mere average aver-age of 36.4 points per. So we would like to say, our hats are off to a very fine group of boys, and their coaches. We congratulate the outstanding performances per-formances of our local hero and his teammates, and wish them all best of luck from here on.
