They are now. But Andrews isn't interested in at least, not for the them Jnoment. 1 It's called loyalty. Last spring, former Ute quarter-Jhac- k Randy Gomez, now the offensive coordinator at Galivan College in Gilroy, Calif., saw something in Andrews that he liked. J So, Andrews ended up in JJilroy.

And he jias some things in his profile that eople can't measure. . "He's got a hell of a future. He's caught the eye of every Divi-Jio- n I school in the state." Andrews said he's talked to $an Jose State and Fresno State. Utah even tried to recruit him Jtway from Galivan to come to Jalt Lake City as a sophomore. But turnabout's fair play in Andrews' mind. "I'm not going to leave Galivan flow, because they gave ine a thance," he said. "We should be a we eally good team next year lave 17 starters back, mostly on offense. "And I'm not necessarily looking to go to a big school. I just want to go where they pass it a lot. J just like to play. I'm not always caught up in the other stuff." So instead of playing for some Division I school next season, Andrews has his sights set on Jrreaking the California jaycee necord for catches in a season (85). I After that, he might look 9, touch-Uovwi7-- 4, 8, - else-Ivher- e. So might Gomez. , wonder if they llmmin Would go as a package deal? COMING OF ACE The young Mountain View The first question was easy: Would Mountain View's girls run their w inning streak to 40 and bust the state record? Of course. MV swamped Jordan 77-2- 8 Tuesday night for the historic 40th, which opens the door to a few tougher inquiries. For instance, just how good is coach Dave Houle's powerhouse? By Utah standards, the answer is obvious. Although Houle and assistant Laura Ronio insist there are several teams capable of upsetting Mountain View in the state tournament, nobody's counting on it. So for the sake of argument, let's says MV wins its fifth Class state title in seven years. Where would that leave this team, say, in the national picture? Just for the record, no Utah team appears in this week's USA either in Today prep rankings the U.S. top 25 or regional top 10. "I do believe girls basketball in this state is very underrated," Houle said. "My brother (Orem coach Scott Houle) took his team to a tournament at Lake Tahoe with 64 of the best teams in the country and they made it to the final four. "He came back and told me, 'Your team could have creamed " anybody out there.' On the other hand. Houle and Romo seem to go out of their way trying to avoid national recognition. "I guess I more or less talked them (USA Today) out of ranking us at the beginning of the season." Houle said. "I heard they were going to rank us ninth, but told startthem how young we'd be and sort of got ing three juniors us out of the spotlight." Mountain View has appeared in the national rankings previously, once climbing as high as 17th. "We don't make a big thing out of it, seeking the rankings or anything," Houle said, "because we certainly don't want to seem cocky, or act like we're better than anyone else." But there are plenty of hints that MV might acquit itself very well, indeed, against the national powers. "We did go out to California one year and beat Brea (19th in the nation this week, second in the region) on their own floor," Houle said. "But so far. we haven't played in any of the big tournaments that get all (he recognition." ' Why not? "I think if we could do it after the season, it would be a great idea and maybe we'd play pretty well," 5-- A Morgan Millard S Summit 3 2 dlOQS M By STEVE CAMERON Sports Editor 14-- 0 Alt Orem Joraan Morgan Mann Rowland S9 Girls' basketball (As ol Jan. 28) (As of Jan. 28) Dorothy Knooll 1 jX3i Bruin basketball team is maturing. Coach Rob Cuff starts two sophomores, a junior and two seniors, and brings two sophomores and a junior off the bench. Mountain View has won only three games this year, but came within two points of upsetting Region Four leader Alta last Friday. "We're growing up," Cuff said of his team. "To see where we were at the beginning of the year to where we are now is exciting. We're competitive. The kids still need to find a they still have a lot to way to win learn. But we're getting there." So watch out Region Four on the second time around. Mountain View might just be ready to win a few. FINDING HIS NICHE Darren Re id has the chore of g brothfollowing two ers at Spanish Fork High Randy and Robbie.

"That might be great. e But if you go to some tournament in the middle of the year, what if you come home and don't even win in your own state?

I'm still scared to death about finishing up in our region and then getting through the state tournament. That's a lot more real than Oregon City." Still, you have to think Houle, Romo and the MV players must wonder how they'd do against somebody like mythical national champ Oregon City (OR), which has won 59 straight games against all comers. Houle can only smile.
