Show Tigers Face In Feature H,S. Game Orem-Geneva Times Thursday, January 6, 1972 After playing the Provo quintet last night to a full Smith Field-house Field-house but too late for the Times' deadline, the Orem High School Tigers face the perennially tough American Fork Cavemen next Wednesday in what observers call the league title game. Both the Tigers and Cavemen had two Region Four victories without a loss before last night's games, with the Cavemenbeating Provo and Springville while the Tigers were handing ittoSpanish Fork and Pleasant Grove. An overflow crowd is expected to attend the game at Tiger Gym at 8 p.m. The Junior Varsity game begins at 6:15 p.m. Some observers believe American Am-erican Fork is the team to beat in Region Four play this year if they can. And Orem's Coach Harry Anderson An-derson knows that his team will have to work extremely well together to-gether to hand the tall Cavemen a loss. 'Every starter but one is back from last year's fine AF team, observed Coach Anderson, An-derson, "and they have picked up two good ball players from their JV squad." Not many Tiger fans will soon forget Steve Dean's turn-around half-court shot that sent the second game between the two schools into overtime last year before a jubilant Forker home crowd. But the Tigers kept their cool, edging the Cavemen by one point in overtime. The Cavemen boast six players play-ers over the 6-0 mark, with Billy Allen and Randy Mott standing 6-5, Jeff Webster at 6-4, and Dean, Vard Pulley, and Dave Spainhower at 6-2. Both teams played in the state ' tournament last year. In last week's game against Pleasant Grove, the Tigers took a 65-41 walk-away that started in the first quarter when the host Tigers held a 16-4 margin at the first quarter buzzer. The Vikings seemed to be attempting at-tempting what the Spanish Fork Dons tried the week before against the Tigers STALL! But it worked in reverse as the Vikings Vik-ings continued to fall farther behind be-hind as the Tigers took down rebounds re-bounds and scored. J. D. Hills, playing perhaps his best game this far this season, hit the first two shots followed by tall Brian Jeffs to make the score 6-0 early in the opening quarter. Then Hills and center . Terry Peterson poured in 10 straight while the Vikes made just 4. Orem increased its lead to 19-4 during the second quarter before the Vikes started hitting. But a tough two-three defense by Orem kept the visitors in check, leading 23-12 at halftime. The Tigers came back from the break, hitting several buckets almost before the Vikings knew the second half had started and extending their lead to 34-14. As the game tightened up a bit with Orem having several fouls called against them, the Tigers scored only one point while the visitors hit seven. After taking a 42-25 lead into the final quarter, both teams burned the nets with Terry Peterson Peter-son getting six in the first few minutes. At one point before the second string was put in, the Tigers held a 61-37 lead. Orem beat the Vikes 39-14 on rebounds, led by Peterson with 11, Jeffs with 9, and Herlin with 8.

Orem Soph Wrestlers Face Tough Vikings Will any team beat defending state wrestling champion the Pleasant Grove Vikings in a dual match this year? Orem High Tigers hope to answer an-swer that question in the "affirmative" "af-firmative" tonight as they host the always tough Vikings at 8 p.m. in the Orem gym. Junior Varsity and Sophomore teams wrestle at 6 p.m. This is their first match in two weeks. Four state tourney wrestlers are back with the Vikings: Hooley in 105-pound class, Sanderson 126, Bennett 138, and Phillips at 145. The lower weights have had the best records for Orem thus far this season; therefore, some of the toughest tests of the night may come in those classes as Pleasant Grove also has some strong boys there. The Vikings are undefeated in duel meets this year in addition to taking first place in the recent Traveling Tournament held at Orem. They are coached by Darold Henry, former WAC champ for BYU, who is assisted by football coach and former Orem High state champion, wrestler Paul Gillespie.. On Saturday, Orem will host a wrestling tourney that features Skyview High School, the number one team in Region One the past few years; always strong Granite High which replaces previously scheduled Cottonwood High; and Bingham, one of Region Three's top wrestling teams. First round of the Orem Tournament begins at 4 p.m. with the championship matches beginning at 7 p.m. Young Wrestling Group Seeks Financial Aid If a young, clean-cut boy rings your doorbell Saturday and asks for your support financially, help him out because he may turn out to be a future Orem High School or collegiate wrestling champion. champ-ion.
