Show Orem-Geneva Times Wednesday, January 11, 1989 Page 4 Girl's region play begins Lady Bruins unseat Huskies 49-47, Tigers nipped by Miners 72-69 By Cathe Owens A 16-2 fourth-quarter spree ate up Hillcrest's 12-point lead and keyed Mountain View's 49-47 upset over the league-favorite Huskies. Stephanie Henry keyed Mountain View's fourth-quarter rally with two buckets, and four-for-six from the free throw line. Henry also played a key role defensively in the fourth quarter, bringing down some critical defensive rebounds, and stealing passes from the scrappy Husky team. "We couldn't buy a basket in the first half," commented Bruin head coach Dave Houle, "but our defensive pressure in the second half got them out of their game." Ice-cold shooting, combined with a stingy Hillcrest defense stopped the Lady Bruins in the first half, with Hillcrest snatching most of the rebounds, re-bounds, and forcing a number of turnovers. tur-novers. But as the second half opened, open-ed, Mountain View threw out some defensive changes, first a man-toman, then a full-court press to force the Lady Huskies out of their game. "We didn't play like we knew we could win in the first half," Houle explained, ex-plained, "but when we saw that the score was fairly close at the half we realized we could do it." With an intensity that didn't exist ex-ist in the first half, the Lady Bruins started to nip away at the 25-16 half-time half-time lead, but after a 7-3 run spurred by two buckets and a charity toss by Stephanie Henry, Hillcrest came back the spread the margin again with two field goals by touted guard Nikka Eyre and two more from Pam Nielsen to record the 37-25 third-quarter score. Eyre, recognized as one of the best basketball players in the region, possibly the state, was held to 19 points, while Mountain View's Stephanie Henry led all scorers with 23. The win gives Mountain View a 1-0 region record, while expected region leader Hillcrest starts league play with a 0-1 mark. At Orem, an incredible 35-point game by Kristy Johnson wasn't quite enough to oust the Lady Miners, as Bingham overcame a seven-point fourth-quarter lead to topple the Tigers 72-69. Heidi Hollist also scored in double dou-ble figures with three baskets and f our-for-four from the line to record ten points.

Burdened with a 17-season losing string, Klotz's Generals meet the Harlem Globetrotters Globetrot-ters Monday, January 16 in the Salt Palace with new spirit, new talent and a new no-nonsense attitude. "We're patsies no more," snarls the general of the Generals. At the encouragement en-couragement of Harlem Globetrotters' Globetrot-ters' president Tom Scallen, Red has beefed up his roster. The resulting team is taller, heavier, more talented, hungrier, and meaner, than ever before. "With this bunch of ballhand-ling ballhand-ling thugs, tax cheats, animals and bad tippers, this might be the year," Klotz goes on. The other year for Klotz and his Generals was 1971, when the Harlem Globetrotters had a bad night Janaury 5 in Martin, Tennessee. Red himself, a player-coach, made the last three baskets, and then froze the ball while the clock ran out on a 100-99 upset.

Orem and for rivalry When Orem High was divided in 1980, the excitement of attending the new Mountain View High School was overshadowed by a little reluctance to fall into a bitter rivalry with the friends the students had who would be attending the other school. That first year the athletes at Mountain View were quick to begin a strong athletic tradition for the new school, and the seeds of a competitive rivalry were planted. Now, eight years later, a full-fledged rivalry exists ex-ists that has experienced some dark, bitter moments, but for the most part is healthy fuel for strong competition. Now games between the two schools are among the most exciting, best attended, and unpredictable in the entire season of play. In an emotional emo-tional rivalry such as there is between the two schools, spirit plays a greater part at times than does athletic prowess. pro-wess. Desire makes the difference, and the games are consistently close with the excitement lasting right down to the wire. Next week is rivalry-week between bet-ween Orem and Mountain View High Schools, with the action beginning Tuesday. The Bruin boys' basketball team will play at Orem at 7:30, and Bruin, Tiger cagers fall By Cathe Owens A tight Hillcrest press in the fourth quarter stopped Mountain View's comeback hopes Friday, icing the Huskies' 80-68 victory in Region Two competition. At Bingham, Orem fell victim to the dual scoring attack of Roberts and VanStaveren, who hit 23 points each, helping the Miners, now 3-0 in region play to a 72-64 win. HUSKIES 80, BRUINS 68 Mountain View turned on a tight defensive press to shut Hillcrest down in the third quarter, sparking a 22-6 run that tied the score going into the final stanza. Hillcrest turned the tables in the fourth, however, running a press that held Mountain View down while the Huskies raced to spread the margin. Hillcrest took an early lead in the game, then exploded for 31 points in the second period, turning a nip-and-tuck first quarter into a 47-31 half-time half-time lead. ' Ryan Anderson sparked Mountain Moun-tain View's third-quarter rally, sinking sink-ing nine points, while teammates Paul Sorenson and Lance Squire added add-ed four each. Cody Child hit the final bucket in the period, giving the Bruins a 53-51 lead, but two free throws tied hand, furious fans demanded that Klotz be fired, or maybe tarred and feathered, or lynched. Recalls Klotz, "It was something like we'd punched out Santa Claus." After 6000-plus losses, the man Sports Illustrated called "The los-ingest los-ingest coach in sports history" is determined to turn things around, and has come to terms with the possibility possibili-ty of a little fan abuse for overturning overturn-ing tradition. "We have a lot of games that could go either way...we play hard and we play well," adds Klotz. "Unfortunately for us, so do the Harlem Globetrotters." A surprise weapon in the General's Gener-al's arsenal is the coach himself. The diminutive (5'6"), 68-year-old redhead still fills in for an injured player a dozen or so times a season, and still hold claim to the most accurate, ac-curate, and possibly the only, two-hand two-hand set shot in the game of basketball. basket-ball. All-city at South Philadelphia High School, Klotz had a distinguished distinguish-ed career at Villanova University, and played pro ball with the old Philadelphia Sphas. He was the last player cut by the Boston Celtics, but signed on with the last-place Baltimore Bullets and helped them win the 1949 NBA championship. He turned to coaching with the Bullets' farm team, and later assembled barnstorming barn-storming squad that played and beat all comers, including the Harlem Globetrotters, and the NBA St. Louis Hawks and Philadelphia Warriors. For the past quarter of a century, Red's squad has toured as the regular opposition for the Magicians of Basketball.
