Free throws prove costly as iners lose to Intermountain M The Fantastic Park City's inability to score from the free-throw line proved costly as the Miners lost a 64-50 decision to Intermountain at home Friday. The Miners, now 0-4, managed only four points in 18 attempts from the charity stripe, while Intermountain capitalized on 12 out of a possible 17 shots. Coach Bruce Reid was puzzled by: the Miners' inability to make the freebies. "I don't know what to attribute at-tribute it to. We made three out of 15 free-throws against Morgan two weeks ago. It is a contagious disease that I would like to see eliminated," he said. The Miners, however, were anything but a diseased team in the first half of the game. They kept up with the fleet-footed 3-A Intermountain Intermoun-tain team. Chris Cooper was all over the court, shooting the 15-foot corner shot, as well as hustling down the court for the lay-up. He had 10 points at the half. Teammate Team-mate Pete Gilvarry helped the first half offensive attack with eight points. Surpassing all scorers was Intermountain's Plen-tyhawk, Plen-tyhawk, who had 16 points at the half. In the second quarter, Park City had trouble preventing the Eagles from driving down the lane and scoring the easy two points. But the Miners matched points with them and went to the locker room only one point down, 30-31. The Miners were never able to close the gap any further fur-ther in the second half, but were down only by two points at the end of the third quarter, 39-41. The fourth quarter, which had been Park City's nemesis in two earlier games St. Joseph and Wasatch proved again to be their downfall Friday. Both teams were guilty of numerous fouls, but when the Miners had their chance at the free throw line, they came away with one point to Intermountain's nine at the line. The Miners found themselves in a vicious circle. cir-cle. Unable to score at the line and falling behind, they desperately tried to steal back the ball, fouling the Eagles, who capitalized at the line. The Miners watched as another possible win slipped away, 39-45, 43-55, 47-59. Adding Ad-ding insult to injury. Plen- tyhawk dropped in two points at the buzzer, 50-64. Plentyhawk's last two points brought his total to 28 for the game, leading all players. Cooper and Intermountain's Inter-mountain's Merrick tied for second with 17 points each. Park City's point guard, Bill Simmons, had his best game of the year, ending up with 11 points. Park City's junior varsity team lost to Intermountain's junior varsity by the score of 32-50. Intermountain was a good team and was favored to beat the 1-A Miners. Coach Reid knew that, but his philosophy for the pre season is to play tough teams like Intermountain. "If the kids play good competition in the preseason pre-season against 2-A and 3-A schools, they will be better prepared for the 1-A division games. Chances are they won't face a 1-A team better than a 2-A team. "I'm not too concerned about the losing record. Our state championship team (1980) was 1-4 in the preseason," pre-season," Reid said. The pre-season ends for the Miners Friday when they face South Summit in Kamas at 7:30 p.m. South Summit, which is 3-2, has the best talent in the division, according accor-ding to Reid. Girls' basketball Coach sees silver lining in loss to South Summit by John Kinch Gains are gains, however small. At least that is how girls' basketball coach Maggie Haun feels. Although her team lost to South Summit on Dec. 8, Haun said that the game was an improvement over last year. "Last year we lost 74-10 to South Summit. This year we lost 53-17. This difference may seem insignificant, but to me it is not," said Haun. Haun felt that the 53-17 score was not indicative of the game. In the first half Park City played poorly, but in the second half played as well as South Summit. At halftime it was 37-7 with South Summit fast-breaking and easily scoring lay-up after af-ter lay-up. The second half the Miners made an impressive, too-late comeback. They stopped South Summit's fast break and their half court press worked, getting them the ball. The Miners scored 10 points to the Wildcats' 16 points. In the second half the Miners shut down the Wildcats' Wild-cats' offensive machine, holding them to 16 points. Park City's defense worked hard, stealing the ball using the half-court press and stopping South Summit's fast break. The Miners' offense, of-fense, however, managed only 10 points in the second half. Park City's six-foot center, Sheila Hannay, led the Miners with 12 of the team's 17 points. Mindy MacMillan and Julie Leavitt added the other five. As different as the second half from the first half was for the Miners, so is this year's team different from last year's, according to Haun. "Park City is going to do well this season," said Haun. "Opposing coaches feel that this is a different team. When we play South Summit in the end of January the game will be a lot closer." The Miners play the Utah School for the Deaf today in Salt Lake. Park City easily beat them two weeks ago.
