With the Grizzlies still ahead midway in the third quarter, 40-3- 3, Thompson, and David Falk each scored to cut it to before the Grizzlies responded to lead 7 with a quarter left. Bear River fans were holding their breathe to watch for the fourth quarter explosion and werent long in, waiting for a minor blast to happen. Cutler canned a keytopper, then Thompson scored on a three-poiplay with six minutes to go and it was a new game. 40-3- 42-3- nt contest followed, with neither team leading by more than two until Logans Dave Watterson took the ball away from the Bears at midcourt and raced down to score a three-poiplay with :21 to play. A see-sa- w nt Omen of Defeat that omen of defeat staring them in the face, the Bears came back, working inside to Thompson for two to cut the margin to one, setting the stage for a lot more action. With The Grizzlies tried to get the ball inbounds, which virtually would have ended the game, but a pass was deflected off a Grizzly player and out of bounds with a second to play. The Bears set up a play for a lob pass inside to Thompson, but he was forced to the foul line to grab the pass from Jeff Williams. For unknown reasons, three Logan players jumped on Thompson at the buzzer and he sank both ends to wrap up the contest. It wasn't a new experience for Logan to lose in the last seconds. A Sky View player scored on a full court lob pass earlier in the season to force overtime, which brought Logan defeat. Foul trouble and the Bears inability to handle Logans pressing man for man defense were the main problems Friday, said Coach Jeppesen. Thompson tallied 23 for the night, followed by 12 from Cutler and eight from Weese. Beck had 20 and Watterson 12 for the losers.
