With a score tied at 66 in the fourth quarter, with 12 seconds left, Whitehorse worked the ball to sophomore point guard Kenneth Joe Jr. on the left side, who let fly a 3 pointer with 4 seconds left, and swish Whitehorse escaped with a close win over Monticello. This is only the second time in the schools history that Whitehorse has defeated Monticello in basketball the last one was in 1985. It appeared that the Raiders might run away with the game when they took a 17 to 3 lead in the first quarter. Ryan Nielson of Monticello added 5 more points to end the first quarter 17-- 8. Although the Bucks outscored the Raiders in the second quarter 18 to 14, the Raiders held on to a half time lead. Monticello kept it close in the third quarter trailing by 4 Monticello was led by Nielson, who scored 37 points. Travis Forrest put in 8 points, Dayne Allred put in 6, Paul Walker got 4 points, and Senior 23. Coach Chip Sharpe gave honors to Jeff Guymon, a senior, who was wrestling his last match at San Juan High. The dual began with Tony Guymon receiving a forfeit at 103 pounds. Walt Lacy then went to the mat to beat his opponent 3 and 0. John Lacy went all out to pin his man in the first round. Mike Bradford added to the rally, raising the team score to 18 points. Mike is wrestling better than he ever has, said Coach Lacy. Moab won the next two matches over Jeff Guymon and Lonzo May. San Juan gave up the next three weights, which really hurt as each forfeit costs 6 team points. Both teams forfeited at 160 and 189. The Moab Devils were ahead 27 to 18 putting pressure on the two remaining wrestlers. 5 Willie Begaye was a winner at points. Raiders Jimmy Clah had 35 points; Kenneth Joe Jr. 13 points; Collin Jackson 8 points, Terrance Benally 6 points, and Leland Begay 4 points. With the win the Raiders improved their record to 5 and 6. Coach Kenneth Joe said, In the first half, we had a good defense on Ryan Nielson but in the second half, he got away his team The last match points. carried a lot of weight in more ways than one. After several attempts, Nathaniel Koscoli successfully pinned his rival, and the Broncos grabbed onto the victory. A weekend tournament at Hurricane pitted the Bronco wrestlers against five other teams. Those who earned places are John Lacy, winning first place a 119 pounds; Walt Lacy taking second place at 112 pounds; and Mike Bradford placing fourth at 125 pounds.

The turning point was probably the free throw miss by Nielson as that gave us confidence to go for a 3 point shot.

The length of each school day would remain the same, he said, but there would be eight class periods instead of seven.

She scored 22 tests, catching up on assignments, or working with a teacher In addition, the time could be used for assemblies and special instruction time (such as orientation to the ACT, and class one-on-on- e. . meetings). Each class would be reduced in length, to about 45 minutes. In addition, there may be a minor reduction in the lunch hour, in order to accommodate the extra class without increasing the school day. Long said there is support for the schedule change among the faculty. Also, many students have expressed enthusiasm and support for the new schedule. Three other schools in Utah have implemented this program successfully: Panguitch High, Green River High, and Juab High in Nephi. Monticello High faculty members visited each of these schools recently, and are making an analysis of the effectiveness of the program. points against Cortez. She did a good job and hustled.
