Show 4a Sun Advocate beat Hawks, Dinos From the Sidelines lose to Spartans Niendorf Scott Sports Editor Its set the first Super Bowl rematch in the history of the championship game. The Dallas Cowboys will be defending their title against the Buffalo Bills Jan. 30 in Atlanta for Super Bowl XXVIII. As many people are now witnessing and enjoying the delayed benefits of the famous Herschel Walker trade from Dallas to Minnesota with the Texas team headed for its second-straig- ht title game, most do not remember 4 record a few Dallas short seasons ago, and in fact, many would tell you the record is a misprint. Dallas losers? No way, they would say. And even though the Cowpokes are favored in the rematch with the Bills, I have to remind others that Buffalo has achieved something that no other team has done before earn the right to play in four straight Super Bowls. But they play in the AFC, some would say, an inferior conference to the NFC. And even though AFC teams have had their share of tough n finale luck in the wide (Scott Norwood right) for several years now, AFC teams were beating NFC squads all year, including Miami over Dallas on Dallas home field. But the point Im getting post-seaso- at least the team in football, And though the playoff-wisBills have faltered in every Super Bowl played in the 90s, many people regard them as losers. Yeah, theyre a good team, but they cant win the big at is Buffalo is second-bes- t e. one, some snip, as they look down their noses at past and present Super Bowl Ofers. Minnesota, 0 for four. Denver, 0 for four. Buffalo, 0 for three and probably four (theyll win now that Ive said it). Credit should be given where credit is due. But often it is not. It isnt right that we honor only the winners and forget the losers. Is that what sports is all about? Nay, I think not. It isnt right that athletes which excel in their domain, whine publicly they are not more millions than they are making because someone else is getting more. How greedy can people be? Apparently never too greedy. Whatever happened to playing sport for the love of the game? Fewer and fewer athletes play for the fun of it and fewer people are watching and supporting teams because of that reason alone. One arena where athletes still play for the fun of the game is youth leagues. It is there the young people learn discipline is necessary for success, working with others is vital to accomplish goals and being true sportsmen elevates the level of athletic competition, for the participants and for the spectators. There are several local schools and a college which have teams of athletes who still play for the love of their sports. What kind of a message are we sending to the youth if we dont support them simply because they are not winning? What kind of a message would we send these young people if we supported their games, regardless of their skill level or their records? I hope this years Super Bowl will have many examples of sportsmanship and class, by the participants and spectators, so the youth of today will have positive examples of what real sports are all about. Carbon High boys basketball team split a pair of Region games last week, winning a overtime victory over North Sanpete on the Dino court on Wednesday and sufloss to the fering a tough Emery High Spartans in a spirited contest at Castle Dale on Friday night before a crowd. standing over-floA poor first half showing deprived Carbon from springing an upset over the regionleading Spartans of Emery on Friday. Emery took out a half-tim- e lead primarily on a 20-- 7 scoring advantage in the second quarter. Emerys Stephen Grant and Justin Bradley , were difficult to contain, particularly center for the Grant, the Spartans who had things his own way in the second quarter with Carbons tower, Dolan Raby, on the bench with three fouls. The Dinos Grady Buch-milldid a good job on Bradley in holding him down to just seven points. Speedy Danny Stucki keyed the Spartan offensive attack in getting the ball into Grant. Carbon showed very little patience and discipline during the first half, putting up bomb after bomb with little success for an offensive rebound against the taller Spartans. After a long discussion with coach Kelly Newbold and assistants Dan Garvin and Mike Moss in the locker room during the intermission, the Dinos came back to outscore the Spartans 8 in the second half but they could never get any closer than six points. We got caught up a little in the emotion of the game and lacked the discipline we 1 1 64-6- 3 66-5- 8 w 38-2- 0 twin-tower- s, 6-- 9 er 38-2- needed to stay clgse in the first half, Coach Newbold commented after the game, Hopefully we can overcome this when Emery comes to Carbon on Feb. 18. Grant was the leading scorer in the game with 22 points before fouling out while Buch-millcountered with 21 for the Dinos. Stucki was also in double figures with 17 as were Jeremy Jewkes with 13 and Raby with 10 in the hard-fouggame. Carbon bounced back from deficit during overtime a in the earlier game with North Sanpete to win by one. The Dinos were down by two points with just five seconds remaining when Jewkes drove the length of the court for a basket and was fouled in the process. The aggressive junior converted the free throw and Steve Cochrane iced the game for the Dinos when he came up with a rebound of the last desperate shot by the Hawks. There were never more than three points separating the two teams, the score being at halftime and tied at Carbon holding a 43-4- 2 edge at the three quarter mark. North Sanpetes Jeff Mower converted on two free throws as time expired in regulation play to tie the game at 4 and send the contest into overtime. The lead changed hands no less than 23 times during the course of the game, 10 times in the third quarter alone. Our team showed a great deal of character in that overtime period, coming back after being down by six points to win, Coach Newbold pointed out, We did not score until the er ht 6-- 0 27-a- ll 54-5- overtime period was half over. Jewkes and Buchmiller car-rie- d the scoring burden against North Sanpete, 20 and 21 points respectively. Coach Newbold is seeking some improvement in the shooting percentages of the team in practice sessions. They shot 37 percent from the field in the Emery game and 36 percent in the North Sanpete encounter. Carbon is on the home court Free throw woes plague CHS girls -- but the the Hawks in the third period, home team won going away with 25 points in the fourth quarter.
