SPONSORED 8Y: 4k Intermountain W Utah Valley Heart & Vascular Services OHS teams start region 1-1 Russ Lyman NORTH COUNTY Orem didnt waste any time in welcoming Tooele into Region 7 on Friday night in Orem. The Tigers opened the game with a 234 run, played their best half of the year in the first half, and got the best game of the season out of point guard Daniel Hockersmith. In the end, Orem found itself with a dominating 7249 region-opening win while the Buffaloes were more than likely wondering what they had gotten themselves into with then-new then-new region. "I thought we started well early," said Orem coach Mike Conner. "There's no question it's the best half we've played. It's nice, we had a little consistency tonight finally." The tigers roared out of the gates. Jordan Egbert scored to open the game, then Hockersmith Hocker-smith assisted Goose Kallunki on a 3pointer and hit a trey of his own to open up a quick 80 lead The early points by Hockersmith Hocker-smith and Kallunki were just a sign of things to come for Tooele. Still in the first quarter, Hockersmith stole the ball and made a beautiful assist to Jake Robison in transition. Later in the quarter, Tucker Lamb found Hockersmith for a pointer that stretched the lead to 214. During the second quarter, Hockersmith found Kallunki with a no-look pass on a fast break for the first of his four assists as-sists to his fellow senior. During the second half, Hockersmith found Kallunki on back-toback possessions and later assisted Kallunki on a threeixint play. "Me and Goose know each other really wel" Hockersmith said. '1 feel like I can trust him with the ball at any rime in the game and I know if I give him the ball something good is going to happen." A lot of good things happened (mm mm mm ra for the tandem. Although they didnt play for much of the fourth quarter, Hockersmith finished with 15 points and eight assists, while Kallunki had 20 points and eight rebounds. With the way the two seniors were playing, they didnt need much help, but they got it anyway. any-way. Ian Harward finished with 10 points and nine rebounds, and Robison added six points and eight boards. Sophomore guard Austin Turtle came off the bench to score six points. In afl, 12 different dif-ferent players scored for the Tigers- . . "We played hard, we executed well, we rebounded well and played good defense," Hockersmith Hock-ersmith said. "Everything was clicking. We say it all the time when we play our best basketball we're a really good team." And now at least one other team wouldnt dispute that statement. state-ment. Timpview 51, Orem 44: At Orem, the old maxim instructs everyone to "look before they leap," a phrase that can be useful in a wide variety of instances including in-cluding on the basketball court. But sometimes you just have to leap and hope for the best. Take Timpview senior forward for-ward Marcus Hunt, for example. exam-ple. He hadn't had his best shooting shoot-ing night on the road Tuesday at Orem, with a couple of his long-range long-range attempts bouncing wildly off the backboard. But with time winding down in the fourth quarter and the game tied at 41, Hunt saw an opening and fired. His 3-pointer put the Thunderbirds up for good as they pulled out the 5144 win to remain unbeaten in conference con-ference play. "The play wasnt actually designed de-signed for me," Hunt admitted after the game. "But I was open and I felt the shot, so 1 took it. 1 think that gave us a cushion and after that we got up and got some good baskets." After Timpview took the lead on that shot, Orem still had more than a minute and a half left to play but appeared to try to force things to happen. "We took some early quick shots an threw the ball away," said Tiger head coach Mike Conner. "When we got down by six, we panicked a little bit." The visiting T"Birds ran off an 8-0 run and appeared to be in control with under a minute to play, but the Orem press gave the Tigers a spark of hope. The home team forced a turn-Over, turn-Over, got fouled on a layup and knocked down the free throw, then forced another turnover. Orem might Ye gotten closer but a 3-pointer by senior guard Daniel Hockersmith refused to drop and Timpview regained control. "We werent thinking," Hunt said. "Some of our young guys havent been in that position and we panicked. We weren't running our plays to break the press." Ironically, it was the Thun-derbird Thun-derbird press that changed the nature of the contest in the first half. The Tigers jumped out to a 20-8 early in the second quarter quar-ter before the visitors stepped up the intensity. That forced some Orem turnovers and the T'Birds scored 12 straight points 'to go in at halftime with the game tied. "Changing to the press really "helped us get the tempo where we wanted it," said Timpview "head coach J?erry Wildeboer. "We kind of put them back on our heels. Defense ended up being be-ing our anchor tonight." After the break, neither team could get up by more than f ive points, making it an exciting, back-and-f orth that came down to the final minutes. "We had a lot of good chances," chanc-es," Conner said. "1 was pleased with how hard we played but we just went cold. They're a good team but 1 feel we kind of let one get away." Hunt led all scorers with 19 points and also pulled down 10 rebounds. Thunderbird teammate team-mate sophomore center Bron-son Bron-son Kaufusi added 16 points and 16 rebounds as the visitors out-boarded the Tigers 37-24. Orem senior forward Goose Kallunki poured in 18 points to lead his team in the losing effort. For Timpview, the psychological psycho-logical advantage of getting the victory could lead to big things. "Winning here is never going to be easy," Wildeboer said. "I think we'd lost four in a row, so we needed this one." The Tigers will try to bounce back as they go on the road to take on Provo, while the T'Birds go for their third straight region victory when they host Tooele. Both games are on Friday and are scheduled sched-uled to tip off at 7 p.m. Girls Basketball I timpview 53, Orem 42: At Orem, Timpview 's Alexis Kaufusi may not play the same sport that her football-playing family members became known for, but she definitely has the same mindset that made her relatives successful. After injuring her ankle early in the third quarter of Tuesday night's game at Orem, Kaufusi returned to the lineup in the fourth quarter just in time to lead the T'Birds to a 5342 overtime over-time win in a rematch of last year's 4A state championship game. Early in the fourth quarter the Tigers opened up a 34-30 lead, but Kaufusi, who finished fin-ished with 20 points and eight rebounds, scored eight of her team's final nine points in regulation regu-lation to help force overtime. In the extra period, Kaufusi picked up where she left off by scoring on a layup, then hitting a 15-f ooter that gave Timpview a 4742 lead it wouldnt relinquish. relin-quish. "She did wen," said Timpview coach Kawika Akina of Kaufusi's play. "When she got hurt she still toughed it out. That showed her toughness." Although it was all Timpview during overtime, the game was close throughout regulation and both teams had chances to win in the final moments. The score was tied at 39-39 for the final 2:33, but Orem squandered its last -minute chances because of turnovers and Timpview missed a pair of late free throws. In addition to providing the toughest moment of the game when she returned after her injury, in-jury, Kaufusi also provided one of the funnier moments when she hugged her friend Kaitlyn Thomas after rejecting the Orem player's shot. Timpview was not the only team to get it big game from its center as Orem's Regan Bafley scored 16 points and puDed down 11 rebounds in the loss. Virginia Voeks added 12 points for the Tigers. The T'Birds had three players score in double figures with Ga-brieUe Ga-brieUe Pinegar scoring 11 points and Kellie Woodf ield, who made six straight free throws in overtime, adding 10 points to go with Kaufusi's 20. "It was a good, hard-fought game," Akina said. "We finally just stepped it up and played the best basketbafl 1 think we Ve played yet in overtime." Timpview improves to 21 in "Region 7 play with the win. Orem feU to 1-1 in region play. ) Orem i), tooele 31: At Orem, Emily Julian scored 12 points and Brianne Larsen added 9 to lead the Tigers past the Buffaloes Buffa-loes in the Region 7 opener for both teams.
