Show Milford Tigers Enter League Play With Only One Loss The Milford Tigers, favored to win the district championship and cause the other State Tourney Tour-ney entrants a lot of trouble when they play for the big one in the spring, begin their official offi-cial league play at Fillmore Friday, Fri-day, Jan. 2, They go into leaue competition competi-tion with six wins and one loss on their pre-season record, the only defeat coming last week on the Lincoln High court at Pa-naca, Pa-naca, Nev. With almost the same team he took to the State Tournament last year, Coach Lee Pettey has been bringing the Tigers along slowly and endeavoring to make the Milford Mil-ford squad realize that each game is important, and overconfidence is one of their biggest hurdles. He has a well-knit, smooth group of team players with no outstanding individual stars. When the defense focuses on one man, another usually usu-ally breaks loose for a high score. Returning veterans are David Bown, Dennis Belliston, Wayne Hardy, Paul Wyatt, Larry Loft-house Loft-house and Bob Davis. Milford' s pre-season record: Milford 56, CSU Frosh 37; Milford 50, North Sevier 35; Milford 79, South Summit 26; Milford 56, Juab 47; Milford 42, Hurricane 36; Milford 59, Dixie (State champions cham-pions for 1958) 38; Milford 60, Lincoln 64. First home game is against the Delta Rabbits, Friday, Jan. 9. |
