The uptempo offense and aggressiveness trapping defense utilized by coach Mark Wilson was also tailor-mad- e for VanTassell, whose enthusiasm and husde found him nursing floor bums after scrambling for loose balls, stealing errant passes, or forcing turnovers with his aggressive play. The three point shot has changed the game of basketball, Simons wrote, and .Jason VanTassells three-poishooting changed the way Region Three teams played against die Cyprus Pirates, adding a dangerous weapon to the Pirate offensive arsenal. And what Simons neglected to mention is that it requires some real poise and courage to shoot the three in critical e situations. And nobody did it better for Wilsons gutty Pirates than Jason VanTassell, who iced more than one contest with his clutch three-poishooting, an example of Coach Wilsons confidence in his ability to deliver when the chips were down. Jason VanTassell, Cyprus High Schools ice man. rebound. He continues, The trouble with the three is you have to make it. Miss it and trouble starts. It seems the threes that dont go down tend to give the long rebound ... so dont miss em if you shoot em. Cyprus Jason VanTassell was called upon repeatedly throughout the season to deliver clutch threes, often in crunch situations for Mark Wilsons Pirates, and he seldom missed when it counted most. VanTassell, an excellent shooter from medium range, proved early in the preseason that he was also going to be a long range threat as he lit up the scoreboard from outside with some bombs that established the Pirates as an ' inside-outsioffensive threat. And VanTassell put a damper on Simons premise that long range shooting can be a liability as he responded with some heroics during the Region Three competition that turned the Pirates into a championship Mageras-Millecontender. Sharing the starting rotation at guard with Chris Matagi and Cade Osborn, VanTassell also teamed with Coiy Barrett at times to keep pressure on the by W.

We had lots of cats around the place, especially at the bam and in the hay field. They came in the bam where we were milking, to get warm and to get a shot of warm milk straight from the cow. They liked the stuff the Holsteins gave but none of them ever said thanks. You could see the satisfaction on their faces, but they still wouldnt let you pet them. Where I came from there were lots of cats. We used to shoot at them with our BB guns. They were a wily bunch. We didnt hit many of them. They were wild and hard to get in the sights. Those out in the fields were mousers. They were very athletic, quick with good body control, jumping in and out of the piles of hay and pouncing on any field mouse that crossed their path. Have you ever heard a cat fight out in the alley while you are trying to sleep? It sounds a little like rock music with an electrical short in the amplifier. They squeak and screech like hyenas with turpentine on their gizzys. The people across the street have cats and theyre snooty people. Their cats are snooty, too. They look at us like theyre better than we are not the peothe visit cats. cats a never came to over The sandbox. use our to ple, except night If you befriend a dog, he is almost always grateful. If you offer friendship to a cat, he looks down his nose and says, Ill get back to you later. A cat wouldnt chase a ball on a bet, or fetch a stick. One day, the only cat we ever had jumped on the table and ran through the mashed potatoes. We tried to drown the thing in the gravy ... never try to drown a cat in gravy. Cats also scratch and tear up the furniture covers. I dislike cats. On the other hand, I have to admit that cats are pretty smart. Some say dogs and horses are the smart ones. Maybe they are, but cats have shown lots of good sense. For example, did you ever seen eight cats pulling a sleigh through the snow outside of Nome, Alaska?

Actually, the 3 A kept it close, trailing only by seven after one And with MVP Justin quarter, Weidauer hampered with three fouls, it appeared the 4A might be in serious trouble inside. But Brightons Derrick Welling took over the middle as if he owned it, repeatedly sweeping the boards while pumping in 16 points to tie Brian Rasmussen of Orem for runner-u- p scoring honors. Leading by only ten at the half, the 4A team exploded for 33 points in the third quarter including a 21-- 2 scoring binge while limiting the 3 A stars to only 12 to put the game out of reach 7 after three.
