ThePioneerteam increased their the best in the region record to league. And in total play this season, they have logged 12 wins to seven losses. Most of those losses were close games against good teams. In the JV competition, theyoung Pioneers only won one of the games in the last week. The first trip to Vernal turned bad as the team led most of the way, until Blake Sutton ofUintah started hitting three pointers. Sutton hit five of his seven treys in the last period to stretch the game into overtime. In the overtime battle, neither team could score a field goal as the Uintah team shot one better free throw to take the contest Th e first quarter was a battle for the lead, but came out a tie at 17, and in the second, Lehi scored three more than the young Uintah team to enter the locker room at Lehi also lead at the end of the third period, but Uintah came back to tie the game at the end of regular time rmm nt 58.

The Ute team shot a better percentage of 63, putting in 12 of 19 (4-- 6 in overtime). Defensively, the jayvee did well with only one Ute (Sutton with 25) entering double figures, while Lehi had four players to get ten or more points. In the second matchup of the week, the JV team was mad and full of revenge as they totally dominated their Union counterparts in the 78-5- 4 blowout. The first period was a simple skirmish where Lehi came out with a two point lead. However, that didn't last long as the Pioneers outscored their opponents by eight or more in each quarter to end the night with a 24 point win. The team spread the scoring quite evenly with Turpin acquiring 15 6-- points to top all scorers. Ekins popped in 13 points as Powell and Paul Ellsworth each added nine.

Defense was again big as the team shut down the Union players to just two players making ten points. The JV has now dropped their record to and their season total 6-- is 12-- 7. On the charity stripe, the young Pioneers were helpless as they shot a terrible 45 percent Dibb was the only player with a while Cutler perfect record made three of five and Rarick made two of four.

Again, the sophs had six three pointers; two from Rymer, and one each from Rarick, Smith, Jex and Dibb. Free throws were even worse on Friday, as the young team hit seven of 17 for 41 percent. Union's sophs made a remarkable 12 of 14 for 86 percent. The two losses drop the sophomore record to 4 in region and eight wins and five losses in the season total.
