Show stead, of Panguitch, after his 1 point loss 60-59 to Wayne. The Bobcats couldn't stop Wayne's Jeff Chappell. He riddled the nets for 23 points on his own court, and hit 6 field goals in the 3rd quarter from about 25 feet out. Curtis Barney, of Panguitch, made a bid to compliment Chappel. Barney Bar-ney canned 19, but the fine effort left his team 1 point shy. Missed foul shots seemed to plague all of the losers in Region 8 Friday night. "We missed 8 foul shots in the fourth quarter," com -mented Coach Kay Engle- STATE RECORD ' STRIPER LANDED The state record striped bass caught by Bill Peck of Boulder last April didn't last long. His nine -and -a -half-pound striped was topped top-ped on December 1 by Greg Nichols, of Price. Nichols, like Peck, was fishing for crappie when he landed his state record. The fish weighed 11 pounds, 9 ounces and was about 30 inches long. Nichols caught it about two miles above Bullfrog Marina at Lake Powell on six-pound test line. Division of Wildlife Resources Re-sources biologists were not surprised by the catch. Fingerling stripers have been stocked each July since 1974. Fish stocked that year are averaging about eight pounds, but Dale Hep-worth, Hep-worth, Southern Region fisheries manager, with the DWR, has predicted 20 pounders in the future. Asked if he was pleased with his catch, Nichols com -mented, "Definitely, but I don't expect the record to last long." |
