Show BMA FLASHES by Jim Abplanalp MINERS DOWN JUDGE-MEET JUDGE-MEET DUGWAY TONIGHT The local prep hoopsters all but clinched a position in the '5(1 "B" tournament last week as they routed Judge Memorial at Salt Lake for their 6th win a-gainst a-gainst one loss. The Miners now jhave only the game tonight a-I a-I gainst the small Dugway quint, and this one should be only a workout for the hustling crew of Coach Wankicr. If the locals win tonight, thoy will capture undisputed honors in the Jordan division, and a tourney spot. Morgan, with two losses, will play the runner-up of the Summit Sum-mit .division for a place in the tourney, and if they lose, will play against the loser of the Al-pine-Nebo division runner - up game for the 16th in position in the B classic. The popular B tournament will be played again at the BYU field house on March 14th to 17th. inclusive. in-clusive. Region Two will be strongly represented by their two divisions, divis-ions, North Summit lrom the Summit division and Bingham from Jordan division, are rated by the sports scribes as numbers 1 and 2 respectively. j This year's Miner squad has -developed into a fine ball club, with perhaps as good balance as we have seen for many seasons. Despite their lack of heighth and an individual star, the locals make up for this in hustle and good team play. They will again go into the tourney with the old "jinx" of never winning the title, but we hope this will be the "year." Baseball Season Soon Baseball will soon be the main sports attraction, and we can hope to enjoy this fine sport both from the high school play, the American Legion teams, and wa hope from another season of the Northwest baseball loop. The preps will be out limbering limber-ing up for early spring play, and the Miners should again field a strong contender. Bingham high copped the class B diamond championship last year and will be hoping to retain this oft won title. The BDAA squad, winners of the Northwest league in 1954, lost out in the play-off to Magna last season, but are hoping to field another pennant winner this year. The Northwest loop was to meet this week to discuss this year's program. Will have some word of it next Issue. o |
