Bear Rivers Bears found out just how scrappy Friday night before pulling out a Region One opening game at Memorial gym. Bear River looked like two teams on the local hardwoods. The first team played a fine first half, handling the pesky Bobcat press, hitting the open man with regularity and potting shots like they were meant to seconds gave the ball to Bear River which started on a fast break. Before center Dale Thompson could hit Williams who was alone under the basket, two Sky View players jumped the postman and wrestled the ball away. With a good 15 seconds left, the Bobcats cast up desperation shots that werent close and the Bears hauled in a rebound with a second left to end the game. Both teams were quite patient with their offenses, probably due to the quickness of both which sides prohibited establishment of a fastbreak. Thompson on turn around jumpers on the base hit 14 points in the first half, then didnt score the rest of the game. 46-4- 4 be. . The second half, another team showed up and did almost the opposite.
