Justin first-roun- d k (AF), semis. Springville placed Kolby Bradley, Logan Wilson, Hayden Petersen, Jacob Raw-lJason Chamberlain, Caleb Christen and Danny Hickman into tonight's semifinal round. What happens in the semis will go a long way in deciding which of the three favorites will win the state champion- e. ship. "We've got to keep as many guys as possible in the championship bracket," Judkins said. "I think this tournament's goto be won or lost through ing the semifinal round. If we can push a lot guys through to the championship round, I think we can pull out a victory here." Springville dominated the early action by winning 14 of its 17 matches, getting pins in 12 of the 14 wins. The 12 pins were crucial, as each one gives the Red Devils important bonus points in the competition. Only one varsity wrestler dropped his first- first-roun- d S7. ing off." One of the biggest semifinal matches for Springville is at 125 pounds, where last year's state runner-uLogan Wilson faces Mountain Crest's defending state champion, Jarrett Morrill. Lehi also had a solid first day of wrestling, as it ended the day in the top 5. Payson wasn't far behind in eighth place, just 11 points behind the Pioneers. After the first day in the 5A competition, Weber looks to be running away with things. The Warriors currently have lead over second-plac- e a Viewmont. Weber also has the most wrestlers in today's semifinal matches. The competition to watch in 5A may be the battle for second place as Pleasant Grove trails Viewmont by only half of a point. Pleasant Grove has five wrestlers who still have a shot at a state championship. Keola Goodman (112), Grant Gagon (160), Mitch Sanderson (171), Sean McLean (189), and Nick Fullmer each earned a place in today's semifinals. "I think we're doing really good," Fullmer said. "A lot of guys are stepping up and getting the job done for us." Spanish Fork continued its strong season by finishing p 33.5-poi- the day in sixth place. Three of the Dons four wrestlers in the semifinals are underclassmen. "I feel real good about our team right now," said Spanish Fork coach Dave Clark. "The thing I really would like to have happen is to place six or seven kids." Lone Peak rounded out the top 10 with 33 points, just five points behind ninth- - Ballantyne (VM) (AF), Fredenckson dec.

The TWolves then outscored the visiting Cavemen 18-- in the third quarter and rolled to a on big Region 4 victory, Wednesday. Nate Henshaw was the difference maker, as he was virtually unstoppable from anywhere on the court. He hit in the tightly contested third quarter, on his way to a 19 points. game-hig- h "Henshaw had a great game; he has kind of disappeared from our offense lately, but he was unbelievable for us tonight,'' said Timpanogos coach Clay Anderson. "The game ball should go to him." To start the second half, both teams looked sloppy as they combined for turnovers on six out of the first seven possessions of the second half. The difference in the game was that the Timberwolves' sloppy play stopped and the Cavemen's continued. Timpanogos employed a match-uzone that gave American Fork headaches on the offensive end. A situation that epitomized the game occurred with 228 to play in the third quarter. Henshaw ripped down an offensive rebound and missed, and the scrappy Skyler Halford flew in, got the ball in the air and missed a putback. After the Cavemen pulled the rebound down, Henshaw and Halford double-teame- d the rebounder and Halford stripped the ball, dove on the floor and tipped it to Henshaw for the layup and a lead. "Our kids came out hard and we told them that we are in a fight for our playoff lives every single night," Anderson said. "We told them that we have to treat every game like a playoff game and they did they came out and out scrapped them." Halford had been ill and it was unsure whether or not he would even play in the game. Not only did he play, but he came up with timely shots and threaded the needle on some sweet assists. He ended up with a very efficient 17 points. "Skyler came in and no one knew if he would play because he had been throwing up all day. We didn't even know until game time whether he would play or not," Anderson said. "He was down and dead throwing up all day and he ends up almost playing the whole game for us." Starting center Tyler Ashworth also had a big game, as his jumper was money all night long. Ashworth finished with 14 points and altered Cavemen shots all game. "Tyler has just come on for us the last four games.
