Christiansen led Park City with eight points against the Hawks and had 10 the next night against South Summit. by LUKE SMITH Record staff writer The results have been the same losses but things are on an upward turn for the girls' basketball team at Park City High School. The Lady Miners dropped two team falls tournament woeful shooting by Park City combined with three timely South Summit three-pointers to pace the Wildcats to a 24-11 lead at the break. South Summit's game plan gave Park City the outside shot, and when the Miners went 3-for-16 in the first eight minutes (including 0-for-3 from three-point three-point land), the Wildcats' strategy paid off. The Wildcat defense held Chason Memmont to l-for-4 shooting and the rest of the inside players for the Miners went scoreless. ; Though Park City doubled their output to 22 points in the second frame, the hard-working Wildcats managed to keep pace, scoring 21 and taking a 45-33 lead into the locker room at halftime. Three players, Troy Jewkes, Gary Rosenthal and Brian Krall accounted for all but four of those points, scoring eight, six and four points respectively. In the third quarter, the Wildcats used still more tenacity to hold Park City to single digits in scoring. While the Miners scored just nine points, South Summit was pushing their lead to 28, with a 25-point third quarter. David Jensen scored four points in the first 1:11 of the third quarter, all of them coming on offensive rebounds and quick put-backs. put-backs. Over the remaining 6:49, Park City added just five points, three of which came from the penalty stripe. Over the third, quarter, though, the Wildcats went to the free-throw line 1 1 times, making seven. Over the same stretch, Park City . was awarded just four free throws. The South Summit free-throw parade was a continuation of the second quarter, when the Wildcats put up 17 freebies (making 12). The game was a foregone conclusion before a 15-12 final quarter for the Miners created the 82-57 final continued on C5 f y games last week, but cut the deficit by 20 points in one night. On Thursday, Dec. 1, Park City hosted the North Sanpete Hawks and fell 59-24. Less than 24 hours later1, the South Summit Wildcats defeated the Miners by a score of 53-38. Thus, Park City not only held their opponents to progressively fewer points, but also managed to jump-start their own offense to its most productive game so far. Against North Sanpete, Park City faced a skilled team that executed its ball-control offense to perfection. The Hawks also took what the Miners gave them mostly fast break points off Park City turnovers. The missed connections on offense continued to plague Park City, costing them countless opportunities. Still, in the first quarter, Park City hung tough, trailing by just three, 9-6, after eight minutes. North Sanpete broke things open Huntsman reiterates his Sept. concerns -with a modification PC council to discuss Bid by LUKE SMITH Record staff writer Utah industrialist Jon Huntsman Sr. last week reiterated comments made in September regarding the state's bid to host the 2002 Winter Olympic Games. But he qualified his remarks by urging the public s support of the effort should the bid be successful. In September, Huntsman said the economic climate in Utah had improved to the point where the state didn't need the boost hosting the Games might provide. When Utah first campaigned for the Games in 1988, "then we needed Iffcjfi f jobs," said jobs Huntsman. "We needed exposure." He went on to say that with Utah's economic boom, such exposure is no longer necessary and efforts to attract the Games could be better spent. After three months of self-imposed self-imposed v ce on thi ubject, Huntsman issued a statement that KJ IUI I J X W.ri UIU IUI LI IC nnnn "M. : zuuz wiympicb to improve the same in the second quarter though, outscoring the Lady Miners 22-6 for a 3 1 -1 2 halftime lead. The onslaught continued in the third period, with North Sanpete pouring in 16 more points to Park City's four. Leading by 31 with only the final quarter to play, the Hawks still kept their first team on the floor until just 1:31 remained. However, they managed only 12 more points, while Park City was scoring 8, to create the final 35-point 35-point margin. Junior Candice Christiansen led all Lady Miners with eight points, four in each half. Senior Nikki Daugherty had six points and junior Brooke Earnshaw had four. Amber Barker, Ashley Evans and Melissa McKenna each scored two. The following night against the Wildcats, things started out more propitiously for Park City. Earnshaw converted two free throws (she got two tries at the second due to a South Summit lane violation) three minutes and 14 seconds into the game to put Park City up 5-4. The teams traded hoops before Earnshaw took an inbound pass underneath the Wildcat basket and scored to put Park City up by three, 10-7 with three minutes to go in the quarter. But two fast-break points ended the Lady Miner lead and South Summit led after the first quarter, 12-10. Another brutal second quarter did Park City in, as South Summit equalled North Sanpete's performance of a day earlier, outscoring Park City by 16 over the second eight minute stretch. A 20-4 second quarter sent the teams into the break with the Wildcats up 32-14 and the game all but over. Park City did manage to outscore South Summit over the second half by one in the third quarter and two in the fourth but it wasn't enough to challenge the Wildcat lead. Christiansen again led the Lady Miners in scoring, this time just into double digits with 10 points. Six of those came during a stretch in the middle of the fourth quarter. The Park City junior hit three straight shots; the first on a nice play off the dribble, the second in traffic and the third from a wide-open wide-open spot about 12 feet out. Barker scored six points in the second half and had eight for the game. Daugherty and Earnshaw each had six. Brittany McQuay scored four points, and McKenna and Maria Osguthorpe had two points apiece. "We're getting there," said coach Stacy Shaw. "I'm really continued on C5 echoed the sentiments he raised in September: "Aren't our young people really better served in the future by spending our efforts attracting meaningful jobs today?" Huntsman also expressed concern that the Salt Lake Olympic Bid Committee (SLOBC) had failed to be up tront about what hosting the Olympics might cost the state. "It is still unclear in my mind as to how their SLOBC financial numbers eight years into the future are 'rock solid'. Somehow, I must have failed Finance 101." "It has been personally unsettling to me that logical, : ClsJJtilH direct . and ' essential questions remain unanswered by those individuals in charge of our bid before we plunge into what will become a $1 billion budget by the year 2002."
