Meanwhile the Pleasant Grove Vikings appear ap-pear to be the heir apparent to the Region Six title that AF has worn for the past four years, as the Vikings beat Springville 74-64. I had "hoped" that possibly the Red Devils, Carbon Dino's and the Caveman could have handled the PG outfit during secon i-half play with the Red Devils at home, AF at home, and Carbon a tall team. I gave them at least a shot at a win, but with the road win PG seems assured of finishing up Region Six play with no more than two losses and AF with three.... well, it seems "we" have two chances for the crown.. ..slim and none. This is a critical week for the AF club as they faced Doug Baxter, a slippery shooter for Springville, last night on the Caveman hard wood, and tomorrow night the AFers journey out to Price for a test with the Dino's. Both games are a "must" if AF wants a good spot in the upcoming state tournament, as the "seeding" at the playoff does aid the higher finishers (sometimes anyway), so with second place about the best AF can hope for, they need both wins. Uinta got the AF club last week after the long bus ride out there, and with everyone sitting around after the four-hour four-hour bus ride for a couple of more hours, the AF Varsity bad the "blaahs." i-or Alps, Cadets Win Bantam Leagues First Half Play The second half of the Bantam Ban-tam League began last Saturday. Satur-day. The Alps and Cadets were winners of their respective respec-tive leagues the first half and all the other 13 teams will be battling hard the second half to knock over these two teams. The Bees and Pistons played the first game with the Bees starting out cold. Swenson and Hansen were hitting for the Pistons and built up a 12 to 2 first quarter lead. The Pistons continued to hit and the Bees didn't. The Pistons led at half time 16 to 2. The Bees came back in the second half, but just couldn't overtake the taller, more experienced Pistons. Pis-tons. Final score was Pistons 34, Bees 17. The Jets and Celtics were about even in size. Both teams were trying to out-quick the other. The score at the first quarter was 10 to 4 for the Celtics. The Celtics started to hit more of their shots and the Jets got cold at the basket. The half time score was 23 to 6 for the Celtics. The Celtics maintained their poise in the second half and moved to a final score of 39 to 22 over the Jets. The Stars and Alps game started out quick. The Alps are the winners of the first half and all the other teams are out to get them. The Stars by playing an aggressive game took the lead 8 to 2 at the first quarter. The Stars continued to hit what they shot while the Alps couldn't buy a basket. The half-time score was 20 to 8 for the Stars. The Alps started moving up on the Stars in the third quarter and Taylor getting the points for the Alps. The Stars met the challenge and maintained main-tained an 11 point lead going into the fourth quarter, 24 to 13. Homstead was the key for the Stars with his outside shooting, the final score was 39 to 23 for the Stars. The Nets really came out hustling against the Cadets. The Cadets are undefeated and the Nets really wanted this game. The score at the 101 mi us it i! u y u Soidl Plas ) t "" W . I - I i ; L i Lr w Lii , 1 CHRIS MONSON- Am. Fork Pleasant Grove's Ray Walker to Frank Pulley, AF team leader lead-er and floor captain, was the only AFer to play with "Vigor," as he had his usual all-out effort in leading the Caveman to the win in a game first quarter was tied at 8 to 8. The Nets took a 5-point lead 15 to 10, but the Cadets came back to within 3 at half -15 to 12. Holman began hitting for the Cadets in the third quarter and the Cadets went ahead 20 to 17 at the end of the third quarter. The Cadets built a lead of 5 points in the fourth quarter when the Nets went cold at the basket. Final score--Cadets 26, Nets 19. The Rams were pressing the Kings throughout the first half with the score being 23 to 20. The Kings put things together in the second half with Smith, Hardy, and Ciriako hitting open shots to open up a big lead in the third quarter, 47 to 25. The Kings moved to a substantial sub-stantial lead in the last quarter and went on to win (0 to 33. The Lions opened up a 13-point 13-point lead on the Hawks before the Hawks realized they were playing basketball. The big man for the Hawks, Eric Bennett, Ben-nett, began to hit in the second quarter and moved to within 1, 13 to 12. The score at half time was 15 to 14 for the Lions. The lead seesawed back and forth in the third quarter with the Hawks leading at the end of the third quarter, 20 to 19. Eric Bennett fouled out in the fourth quarter giving the taller Lions opportunity to move ahead and win the game 28 to 23. The Utahns moved out to a lead over the Bulls in the first half on the shooting of All-ridge. All-ridge. They had a lead of 2(i to 17 at half time. The second half was like the first with the Utahns being hot at the basket and the Bulls very cold. At the final gun the score was 53 to 37 for the Utahns enabling the Utahns to win their first game of the season. The league will play their games again this Saturday. The games begin a: 8:00 a.m. Come on down and see some very exciting games with the future players at American Fork playing very good basketball. u Id No. 50 stretch make the basket. lumps over that AF led all the way. The AF shooters took a night off out there with the AF guards usually potent, stone cold at the hoop, managing but nine points between them, and that really did slow the AF offense. But "old reliable" Frank came up with a sterling performance to save the day with 20 points and forward Brad Adamson came up with 10 counters to give the Caveman Cave-man a somewhat close win, but as someone once said, we'll take em any way we can get em. Tomorrow night the trip to Price gives the Cavemen a chance to redeem themselves, as here at home in the first meeting the Dino's came from "out of it" to edge the Caveman Cave-man 65-64 at the buzzer, and the Caveman team feels that they have something to prove, and only a victory will do the job. And everyone of the AF players wants to finish up second half play strong, and with PG coming to town a week from tonight, the AF players feel that they have the game to beat back all three top challengers: the Devils, Dino's, and Vikings. With the Tournament sneaking sneak-ing up on us-play will begin on March 7the outlook for AF is much-much better with a second place finish, as they would play the fourth place team from Region Five at 4:10 p.m. on Monday, March 7. "If" the Caveman finish up third they will get either the Region One second place team (Bear River) or the No. 2 Region Five team on Tuesday, March 8, at 6:30 p.m.; however, Ogden McNiel, assistant assis-tant AF principal, said that those tines could change. Regardless, the better the finish in Region Six the better the "draw" in the playoff. AF Coach Carl Ingersoll has brought the Caveman along "just right," as some of the team members have been getting get-ting a lot of game time. The AF bench is becoming a strong factor in whatever success lies ahead for the Red and White outfit, who have without doubt one of the best defenses shown at AFHS in many a moon. As the team sharpens up the old shooting eye, with a decent draw and break along the way, this hustling Caveman club could repeat last year's State Championship. It is said that a golf ball has 336 dimples. " MS ft fa Meet the Chris With many talents, and very busy, Chris Monson is this week's "Meet the Player" Caveman. Chris, the senior center for the Cavemen, in nearly every game this year has had the unenviable job of giving away several inches to the tall centers around the state, but still has the ability of being able to guard them and keep AF in the games. For the most part the hard working AF center has done the job and as a result the Cavemen are very competitive. The very active center makes the AF defensive press very strong as his job is shutting shut-ting off the long downcourt pass and keeping AF opponents oppon-ents from getting the cripple. At 6 feet 3 inches tall and 190 pounds, Chris is a tall leaper who has many interceptions, and has created many errant passes by his ability to jump. Carl Ingersoll, head man of the Cavemen, said of Chris, "He is a hard worker who has improved with every game, a good rebounder, who had had a hard time with fouls; he is very cooperative, among our very best students. Chris would make a fine coach as he is always helping the other guys, especially the younger players, who he continually works with. I appreciate him because he is very unselfish, puts out 100 percent each game, and remains a gentleman gentle-man and leader for us." Chris rates as one of the high schools super students, as he not only is a top athlete but a .np scholar as well. Cti. ;s is one of the very few Utah Lx.'inty football players to be askt to participate in the first ever Utah vs Arizona in football, wtK-e the top players of both state go at each other for charity. L will work from an offensive tackle spot for Utah. He is an All-State and of course All-Region All-Region football tackle for AF. He has been sought after by some colleges and will most likely pursue football next year at the school which offers him the opportunity. In addition to athletics he is studentbody vice president of the high school, vice president of the Jazz Band and is first trumpet for the Concert Band. By the way, the Jazz Band will go to Chaffee College in California Cali-fornia representing AFHS in competition which they won in region last year. He is a former drum major and in scouting he has earned his Eagle Ea-gle Badge. He is active in the LDS Church, is a priest and has earned his Duty to God Award. He is enrolled in the missionary preparation program and plans to serve a mission. Among his hobbies are "food first", followed by sports; his music, he is an artist (likes drawing), is a member of the cast and crew of Pageant of the Arts. Chris is the second son of Calvin and Claudia Monson who's other children include son Calvin, a "Y" student; Liza a sophomore; Steve, a nine grader and a member of the little league Pistons', and ninth grade team manager; Karen, sixth grader; Tom a fourth grader who likes sports, and is enrolled in Y.B.A. basketball; bas-ketball; Win, a second grader who shoots a basketball all the time; David, in kindergarten; and Amy, three and a half. The entire family support big brother Chris in all of his activities. acti-vities. Chris who's father is a former Caveman, had these comments, "I'm impressed with the overall tradition at Terry L Thornton Fires "Expert" In Hawaii Army Chief Warrant Officer Terry L. Thornton, son of Mr. and Mrs. William Thornton, 315 East 400 South, American Fork, recently fired expert with the .38 caliber pistol at Schofield Barracks, Hawaii. The expert rating is the highest mark a soldier can achieve on his weapons qualification quali-fication test. CWO Thornton, a pilot with Troop B, 3rd Squadron of the 25th Infantry Division's 4th Cavalry, entered the Army in August 1969. He is a 1969 graduate of American Fork High School. His wife, Jolene, is with him in Hawaii. Cavemen Monson AFHS; people actually move here for the schools athletic-academic athletic-academic traditions, and we are very pleased with Chris and his well rounded involvement involve-ment in sports and other school areas, and as 1 said before, when compared to our generation, that today's athlete-students have a much higher skill level, in all phases. They are bigger and better and lead a much more complex com-plex life. The team represents us very well and I'm very satisfied with the well rounded program Chris has." Mom said, "I just love to watch the kids, I really get involved. I worry about "all of them" if they get enough sleep, and I'm really proud of Chris and what he has done. Life is full of disappointments as many do not make the teams, and we try to teach our children to not commit to inst one program, but o get into an 0Vfrc; education, but once they are committed to go all out." Both parents said the coaches show a real interest in each player and we are very happy that all the players are real friends with each other. Chris, a solid student with a 3.65 grade average, is somewhat some-what undecided about his future. In college he will explore ex-plore a "few things" before deciding on his major field. ; A very easy to talk with, very pleasant guy, Chris said of tomorrow's Carbon Dino team, "The reason we lost before is we lacked confidence, confi-dence, and if we play tough and shut off the inside, and with being more familiar with each other now, we are much smoother and our defense will carry us through. Our increased in-creased confidence makes us a much stronger team now than a month ago. We'll win!" Chris added this about his teammates and coaches; "We fight one minute and are friends the next; but we get along very good and they are the best anywhere." Chris, who wears number 50 on his playing suit, apparently has no trouble combining sports and studies, has a great attitude towards sports and life. With both feet planted solidly he is a main cog in the Caveman team. I'm glad he exploits his talents on the basketball bas-ketball court as well as the other areas of his many-talented many-talented life. GENERAL REVENUE SHARING I .- 'v , " I I ' fc.

Steve "Shorty" Larsen in the first game against Spanish Fork scored the Cavemans first 12 points as the AF team broke a 4-4 tie and went on to trounce the SF sophs 62-36 that was more lopsided that the score relates. Shorty and his teammates that start, saw very little action ac-tion as Coach Art Allred went to the bench often and early with everyone playing. Shorty ripped the nets for 24 points, Russ Devitt added 12 and Robb Thomas 8 as the AF team routed the Uintah Utes at Vernal 71-48 with a divided team as some sophs suited for the JayVee game held at the same time. At Spanish Fork Steve had 18 points as Allred let him go back in with less than a minute min-ute left to go and Shorty needing need-ing two points for his 20 total and he hooked in a shot, and immediately left the game to shake the coaches hand and that was the games highlight, but Big Gary Beck had eight points, eight checked shots and he swept the boards. At Vernal the sophs led all the way as Allred again gave everyone playing time, and AF is just about finished with sophomore ball, with only one game left on the regular schedule.

FEBRUARY 10, 1977 Bantam Basketball All-Stars Chosen The All-Star teams for both the Northern and Central Leagues Lea-gues of the Bantam Basketball were chosen this past week. Members of the Northern League include. Russell Adamson, Stars; Bruce Anderson, Ander-son, Bees; Blaine Barnes, Rams; Regan Hansen, Pistons; Pis-tons; Bret Hardy, Kings; Steve Monson, Pistons; Marc Neves, Bulls; Daniel Smith, Kings; Shawn Price, Stars; Bud Swenson, Pistons; Tim Taylor, Alps; Scott Van Wagoner, Utahns. Top vote getter in this league was Daniel Dan-iel Smith of the Kings' team. All Stars for the Central League are: Brian Workman, Girls Claim Win Over Carbon Team Ann Nelson, talented American Ameri-can Fork forward for the AF Girls' basketball team, led the Forker team to a come-from-behind victory over Carbon Car-bon last week. Ann, a very active, sharp shooting girl, scored 26 points, led an excellent fast break, and rebounded well, as she repeatedly outjumped the taller Dino girls, and came up with several steals. The AF girls' team is in second place, with only a single point loss out at Vernal to the Uinta Ute team marring their record. Carbon jumped out in front of the AF gals with a slow game starting first quarter, but then the AFers began a full-court press that created JayVee Beats Uintah 87-47 Using a divided American Fork team with both the JayVee Jay-Vee and sophomore game going on at the same time, Coach Bob Eckles, AF JayVee boss used all eight players to trounce the Uinta JayVee 87-47 and the AF team remains unbeaten. un-beaten. Jamie Burgess with his soft shot led all scorers with 20 points, and he had help from Little Gary Beck who had 14 points and eight steals, and Jon Larsen, Bob Lewis (Ron Lewis was ill), Scott Rack-man, Rack-man, Big Gary Beck, Scott Shumway and Joel Richards were just too good for Vie Vernal team, as they comprised com-prised the AF team.

They led 31-21 at the third break and put on a furious finish to outdo the Carbon team 52-33. Brenda Davis with a shot from 12 feet out scored 10 points to go with Ann's 26. Brenda handles the ball well from her guard spot. Wealtha Mendenhall at forward came up with 6 points; Jeri Turner had 4 points, but she had a bunch of rebounds and does a super job of getting the outlet pass to her teammates and they, as a result, get a lot of layins. Lisa Allen had 4 points, and Janice Broadbent hit 2 for the AF scoring; but Ilene Jensen, Jen-sen, Natalie Rackman, Karen Frankenberry, Ruth Patterson, Patter-son, Lorraine Wagner, Nancy Murdock also saw action. Roy Pehrson and Ann Miller serve as coach and assistant, and the girls play a very good brand of ball featuring the press which makes turnovers; the fast break on offense had AF gals going to the hoop on occasion without opposition. They are very good and should easily qualify for post-season playoffs to be held later. In the Jay Vee game preceding preced-ing the Varsity game, the AF juniors and sophomores jumped off to a big early lead and with Natalie Rackman scoring 10 third quarter points, the AF team coasted home with an easty 35-14 romp. All suited girls saw lots of game time.
