Tn the loss toLehi on Jan. 24, the Mners had a few dead spots that lied the difference in the game Thev went the first five minutes of he opening quarter without scoring and totaled 12 minutes of no-scoring lime in the game. Park City improved its dead time jn the Jan. 25 South Summit game, but the Miners' inability to find the basket for five minutes in the first Quarter allowed the Wildcats built a 13-point lead-a lead that proved too difficult for them to overcome. . Lehi also began quickly on the Miners in running off 11 consecutive points to open the game before Brett Benson found the range for the Miners at the 2:54 mark. The Pioneers finished the opening period on top 13-4. In the second period. Park City only on-ly managed two field goals and were 4-9 shooting from the foul line as they entered the locker room trailing trail-ing 24-12 at halftime. The Pioneers dominated the hoards with ii-foot-7 junior Matt Redmond Red-mond and 6-foot-4 12 sophomore Gary Smith leading the way. Redmond, Red-mond, who also starts for Lelii's varsity var-sity team, was able to provide his team numerous second and third shots at the basket with his offensive rebounding. Park City was not only outmatched size-wise, but also in experience, ex-perience, as Lehi's next four starters were juniors. Park City played even with Lehi in the third period as each team had 8 points. Jason Schlenske and Cameron Hone had tour points apiece for the Miners. The Miners came out hot in the final stanza as Brett Peretti. Benson and then Randy Ran-dy Poison hit consecutive baskets to cut the lead to 6 points. Lehi answered with a couple of foul shots by Harold Barnes and a bucket by Steve Veech. Brandon Vierig turned it on for the Miners and was responsible for 6 of Park City's next consecutive 8 points. Verig began his rush by hitting hit-ting a 15-foot jumper.

It's easy to net wins by being aggressive by MARK JENSEN Park Meadows Racquet Club professional The best position for winning points in tennis is at the net. The potential angle of shots is better. You can see that angle B at the net is much wider than angle A at the baseline. The potential for hitting a winner or forcing an error increases significantly at the net. There are five basic ways to gain position at the net. As a player advances in skill, there will be more opoportunity to come to the net. 1 Serve and vollev. This is used most often by the advanced player. The intermediate in-termediate or advanced beginner can possibly use this tactic for surprise. 2 Come in on a weak serve. Often in beginning and intermediate tennis, the serve is weak. Take advantage of a weak serve-move in a little, hit the return and take the net. 3. A short return. Your opponent's short return that lands near the service is an excellent opportunity to come in and take the net. 1 Lob. A good lob back to the baseline gives you plenty of time to get in posi-llon posi-llon at the net. Look for a lob in return, which will often be a short lob, letting you hit an overhead smash. 5- A short return. A short angled return of serve to your opponent, low and "osscourt in doubles, is one of the best ways to take position with your partner part-ner at the net. Playing the net is fun and players of all levels should learn this skill. You n win points up there. AFRICA AFRICA AFRICA v y r .

Schlenske stole the ball on the Pioneers' next possession and fed the streaking Peretti for an apparent layup. Peretti was fouled and hit both his free throws. The streak was capped by Vierig's 14 looter, narrowing the score to 1(-:S4 in Lehi's favor with : 56 left in the game. "Verig has a nose for the ball. Sometimes he's just always there and causes things 'to happen." God-trey God-trey said. "However, he is a streaky player. He wasn't really in the first half vs. Lehi and then he was out of his head in the second half." The Miners' comeback ground to a halt when Peretti missed the front end of two, one-and one opportunities oppor-tunities while Lehi sank two field goals and three foul shots. "Overall. Peretti played well for us and did a good job of directing the team in the fourth quarter of the Lehi game." Godfrey said. "Boyle also did a good job defensively. He's a real hustler." Park City pulled a Jekyll-Hyde act in its 17-point loss to the Wildcats. They were drilled 20-7 in the first quarter and trailed 43-20 at halftime. The Wildcats were led in the first half by Dusty Hatch's 10 points and Wes Frazier added 8. They played even with the Wildcats in the third quarter, courtesy of Peretti's I0-point performance. perfor-mance. His last two hoops, a twisting layup and a steal that he converted into another layup at the end of the third quarter, seemed to spark the Miners. Matt Ott. Schlenske and Poison led the Miners' fourth-quarter surge in which they outscored the Wildcats by 6 points. "Our interior defense hurt us vs. South Summit. We wanted to shut them down inside, but they beat us several times on the baseline and were able to get second shots from rebounds," Coach Godfrey said. . He praised the play of Ott, who had a team-high 14 points and Peret-ti Peret-ti and Poison, who had 10 points apiece. Poison also had 12 rebounds and Schlenske had nine. "In the fourth quarter, Poison showed what type of a player he will be in the future. He scored, rebounded rebound-ed well and showed real hustle." said Godfrey.
