With a barrage of jump and long shots plus a full court press, the Bears kept West off balance most of the evening. The Rivermen's tight defense held the Panthers at bay and made it rough to get the ball into big Van Wagonen, 6' 5" all stater. In the meantime one or more of the Bears would go into a shooting spree. The second quarter was a big quarter for both teams as they garnered 21 points. The Rivermen commanded a slight edge 34.32 at the half, but slipped ahead 50 to 42 at the third quarter. 60-4- 53-5- 2 As West high commenced to close the gap, Daryl Garn drop- ped in several timely shots to keep the Bears ahead until Conger and company put the game on ice with a beautiful stall. This victory enabled the Bears to meet their old enemy and nemesis, Jordan. The story read much different as Bear River could neither find the basket nor stop big Pearl, who lead the Beetdiggers to an early 12 to 0 lead. Bear River came back with 6 points from charity lane but still couldn't catch fire like the previous night. Jordan garnered 45 points in the two middle quarters to run up a 57 to 33 edge. Then Coach Art Hughes pulled his and sent in the reserves, but the Rivermen still couldn't overcome the tremendous lead.

The Beetdiggers shot about 50 while the Bears could shoot only 16 percent. The feeling was prevalent that Bear River would have won if they could have hit from the outside like they did against West high. Going into Saturdays game the Bears were to meet a tough Provo team, who had downed region One's winner's, Ben Lomond, and lost a close one to East high. Both teams played heads up ball, but Provo ran up a 29 to 22 point lead at the half. Bear River came back deter- mined and fighting to forge ahead 41 to 38. This game was the closest and perhaps the most exciting of the tournament. Again the Rivermen went into their famous stall with little Gary Conger, unanimous choice for dribbling circles around his opponents. With 25 seconds to go Goldsworthy tied Conger up and Provo grabbed the tip off. The Bulldogs shot but missed and Bear River captured the rebound, only to lose the ball and enable Goldsworthy to try a last desperation shot that also missed.
