Tyler Cobb/Park Record Park City boys' basketball head coach Caleb Fine said his team has regressed to some bad habits in its two straight losses, with the last one coming at the hands of 4A East, 59-45, Tuesday. Team members, shown here against Wasatch, will play at Juan Diego Jan. 17. Miners hoping to get back on track Park City on two-game skid after loss to East By CHRISTOPHER KAMRANI The Park Record Caleb Fine didn't want to stereotype his team's 59-45 loss Tuesday to 4A East as a hangover from an emotional home loss to rival Wasatch on Jan. 6. He found his own way of summing up Park City's second straight loss. "They wanted to bounce back-maybe a little bit too much," said the Miners' head coach. "It was a different type of hangover." The boys' basketball team, now 6-6, faced its last preseason opponent of the 20112012 season in the East Leop- ards Tuesday at home. East guard Parker Van Dyke, widely regarded as one of the state's premier players, led all scorers with a game-high 25 points. Leopard center Arik Mawien, standing at a bruising 6-foot-8, took advantage of Park City's lack of height throughout the evening en route to his 17 points. "Ultimately, we did not play great basketball defensively," Fine said. "(East) got the shots they wanted to get." Fine said the Miners were outrebounded 32-16 and their dynamic duo of Britton Buford and Jono Schettler - who normally average a combined 30 points a game - were held to a combined 13 points in the loss to East. "It's one of those games where you say it wasn't your night," he said. Park City senior forward Jordan Ruda led the way offensively for Park City, scoring 20 points, including two 3-pointers. Seniors Brae Dilley and Heath Vincent each pitched in six points in the loss. Fine said the most disappointing aspect of the team's two-game losing streak is its regression to "bad habits." He said his usually-stifling defense hasn't been up to par in the last two games and offensively, the Miners are "becoming stagnant." "I thought we had a really good practice (Wednesday)," he said. "It is what it is: It's a two-game losing streak, and I've got a bunch of seniors. They know how to win. We're going to do a better job of getting things going. We've got to get more players involved offensively." The reemergence of Ruda, Park City's primary post player, over the course of the last two games has been a welcome sight, Fine said. During that stretch, Ruda is averaging 16.5 points per outing. "Obviously having him in double figures is a big positive," Fine said. "We look to get him the ball in the post. I do believe in terms of our region, he's one of the best posts in our league. The boys recognize that." Park City hosted a 4-6 Union Cougars team Friday night after this issue went to press, and Fine said he was wary of the daunting Region 10 schedule ahead of his squad. On Tuesday, the Miners face their first region road test of the season as they travel to Draper to take on the Juan Diego Soaring Eagle. "It's going to be a big game for us going on the road," he said. "We haven't been on the road much this year, but when we have, I've been very pleased with our effort. "Juan Diego beats teams who are not ready to play." |
