The sky is dark, but a soft glow illuninating on the bricks beckons to the approaches. ap-proaches. Every now and then, an anticipating shiver runs down the spine of one of the approachers as they draw near to the building. The time: a night during basketball basket-ball season. The place: outside Orem High's gym. The approachers: fans. It's difficult to describe the excitement ex-citement that so many basketball lovers feel as they are coming to a game. As they come, these fans anticipate an-ticipate the sounds of squeaky shoes, bouncing leather, and crashing boards. These fans believe such sounds will provide them with an evening of suspense, tension, thrills, and hopefully satisfaction. And they expect a crew, led by Coach Dick Belliston, to fill the bill. Currently, the Orem High basketball basket-ball team is warming up in preseason, pre-season, and the number one question is: Will the team fill these expectations? So far, they have. After two preseason pre-season games, the Tigers have come out on top. Orem swept by Jordan 64-48 but last Friday's games against Pleasant Grove proved to be more of a challenge. With under 20 seconds left in the game, Orem's center, Doug Larsen blocked a Pleasant Grove shot. Flailing Flail-ing arms from both teams grasped for the ball, eventually resulting in eight players piled on the floor, looking more like football players do when jumping on a fumble ball. That was the only "floor" incident inci-dent of the game, but waving arms seemed to characterize the game, especially in the second half. Of course, waving arms are typical in basketball, but this time arms were unusually wavey, like fouling wavey. Pleasant Grove made 12 of their 22 points in the second half from the foul line. Orem gained eight points that way, but unlike the Vikings, that was only a third of the Tiger's second half scoring. Neither team could dominate during the first half. Orem trailed 8 to 9 at the end of the first quarter, but led 25 to 24 at the half. But in the third, Orem jumped ahead, mainly because Pleasant Grove made only one of their ten field goal attempts. That quarter ended with Orem leading 39 to 32. The biggest lead of the game came in the four the quarter when the Tigers led 44 to 34 with 5:30 left to play. Tension returned, however, when the Vikings rapidly picked up their pace to trail only 44 to 49 with two minutes remaining. Nevertheless, Never-theless, Orem's forward, Jim Pixton put one in and also went to the line for two free throws to further spread the gap. The final score was 55 to 46, and , it was almost a relief when the game was over. That game and the game against Jordan had established a few strong points for the Tigers. Before playing the first game centerd Doug Larsen said about the team, "I think we're pretty strong defensively and with rebounding." re-bounding." Interestingly enough, Larsen is one of Orem's leading re-bounders, re-bounders, along with forward Mike Peterson, and fast breaks really helped the Tigers against Pleasant Grove. Larsen, Peterson, and guard Ben Bradshaw started last year and Pixton Pix-ton and Aaron Johnson also saw varsity var-sity action. Orem is definately an experienced ex-perienced team this year, but that benches some seniors that played on the junior varsity team last year that only lost one game. It's comforting to know, though, that, as Larsen puts it, "We have good depth off the bench." It looks like, then, that perhaps fans can expect the thrills that come with watching a good basketball team play. Bradshaw feels that if the team keeps working hard like they are now, everything, offensively and defensively, defen-sively, will fall into place. In addition, Bradshaw stressed the need for improvement, just as Coach Belliston has. True, there's always room for improvement, and that's what pre-season is for, finding what needs to be worked on and then doing it. "We're just going to work hard and see what happens," stated Belliston. One favorable thing that already has been shown is the balance in scoring. scor-ing. After two games, Bradshaw leads in scoring, but by no large margin. And more importantly, it's not just one or two players getting the shots. Orem won't start the regular season until after the Christmas holidays. But Fridav they'll play 3-A Springville at U.T.C. in a U.T.C. Tournament, Tour-nament, somewhat like that of the Cougar Classic. The winner between Orem and Springville will play either Mountain View or Spanish Fork on Saturday at 8 p.m., depending on who wins out of the latter teams. Orem has high hopes for this year's basketball season and the team should do well if they "go out, relax, and play hard," in games as Belliston said they want to do and keep on, as Belliston continues, "doing the best we can."
