Coach Russell Hillman's white jerseyed skirmishers dropped the Miners with a devastating offensive attack and carefully organized defense, which, cxipicd with the Miner's inability to hit, spelled victory for the Pioneers. Fifth Straight Tourney Berth The victory cleared the way to a berth for Lehi in the State 'B' Basketball Tournament for the fifth straight year.

Although Tintic had their hottest scoring surge of the evening, the newly-forge- d team kept pace and a delirious home crowd saw Lehi walk off the floor with a 66-2- 8 victory and the Region Seven crown. Scoring Statistics Doing much of his damage from the charity line, Karl Ingram was high point man of the game with 22 points, twelve of which were on foul pitches. Bill Hayes tallied with 17 and Ray Colledge con tributed eight to the Pioneer cause.
