Park City gives up 30 points in final eight minutes ;by Shane McCammon OF THE RECORD STAFF J Before the Region 10 season started Wednesday night, Jay Judkins took a look at a calendar and chalked up a couple of must-wins. must-wins. He figured playing a young, rebuilding Wasatch team even on the road was a game his Park City Miners had in the bag. So you can imagine Judkins disgust dis-gust as the Miners (7-5, 0-1) blew a 13-point fourth-quarter lead and lost their region opener, 63-56. 63-56. "We lost a game we should not have lost," said the coach. "We jhad that game to win." I And because Judkins figured his team would be 1-0 at this Jpoint in the region season, he says his team has already dug itself a hole and now needs to imake up the loss with a win over a tougher opponent. ; "It was a game we had to win in order for us to do well in the region," Judkins said. "Now we have to make up that game." ' That means the Miners will likely have to beat Union or Judge two of the Region 10 favorites -- on the road in order to keep pace with the Cougars and the Bulldogs. Luckily for Park City, Union also finds itself behind early, as the Cougars lost Wednesday night to Uintah. . !

After running their deliberate, half-court offense with perfection Wednesday and using center Jeff ning on being 1-0 right now, so we've got our backs up against the wall." The reason the Miners aren't 1-0 right now comes down to Hackett's height, the Miners abandoned their game plan after Wasatch started pressing with six minutes to go.
