The Cougars played the Huskies tough at Hillcrest, but the Huskies will be fighting for a share of the league title and cannot afford to lose to Kearns. Then, Kearns must also get some help from its peers, namely Brighton and Alta, who play Bingham. If Bingham were to win one more game, the tie would be avoided. In Fridays contest the Cougars stayed right with Alta in the first half, but in the second, things fell apart. The officials lost control of the contest and it became a war and Alta won it. The Hawks led 6 after a quickpaced first period and in the second, extended that to but it wasnt until Alta took control of the boards that the Hawks were able to pull away by outscoring Kearns 4 in the third canto. Darrin Long paced the victors with 22 points. Sarvj Gill was the leading Cougar scorer with 16 (5, 6x10). He was followed by Dale Clayton with 14 (5, 4x7) and Ryan Harris with 13 (5, 3x8).

A tournament berth will be on the line this week as Cyprus high concludes Region Three play with a game at Granger tomorrow (Friday) and by hosting Olympus Tuesday. The Pirates remained tied for the fourth place Friday 3 when they dropped a tense decision to league-leadin- g Skyline, while Granite lost by one to Olympus on the Farmer court. Granite tests Skyline at Granite tomorrow and travels to Cottonwood on Tuesday. Cyprus must overcome a tendency to let down against Granger, a team it has beaten handily twice this season. The Lancers have a possible showdown for the league title at stake and have vowed that the Pirates wont win three. Granger has been tough at home, losing only to Cyprus in the finals of the Green Sheet Classic. Knowing that Granite should Tie favored against Cottonwood and that beating Skyline is a distinct possibility on the Farmer court, Coach Paul Dilley is working his charges hard in preparation for the two contests. And Cyprus is playing better basketball than when Olympus clubbed the Pirates earlier. We 55-5- need them both, saifi league .. 969-281- Kent Rydalch. By their inability to protect the lead from the line, Cyprus let Skyline right back in the game. Late in the third period the Bucs led by seven, but Skyline cut that to 9 going into the final canto. At halftime Cyprus was up Rydalch led Buc scoring with 16 (7, 2x3), but had a dozen of those in the first half. He was the only Pirate in double digits.

Skyline converted 19x33 from the line, while the Pirates had 13x21. Cyprus was held to two offensive rebounds, normally its bread and butter. Getting a lead against Granger will be important, because the Lancers have good patience and handle the ball well. There have been predictions that the contest could draw a full house to the Granger gym for the 7:30 p.m. contest. Dilley Two Warriors Gain First Place Finishes TAYLORSVILLE.

The Pirates almost got an advantage Friday when they played at Skyline and Dilley was hot after the game about what he termed noncalls when his team took the ball inside. However, he admitted that the teams missing of four straight chances in the fourth period was its ultimate undoing. The game was decided by charity tosses. Skylines Craig Christensen dropped in a pair with one second left when he was fouled on a re- (969-6528- ). The Warriors jumped off to a never looked back, although in the fourth period the Miners made a determined run when Taylorsville missed some key charity tosses. At the half the host squad held a edge and extended it to 0 after three cantos. Bingham closed fast in the fourth period, but step 20-1- 3 Taylorsville, lesson from Kearns, pulled out some intensity and nailed down the win from the line. Keying the victory was Steve Jensens intimidation of Jason Bleak. Jensen repeatedly denied Bleak the ball and he was held to a total of three points.

From the front line, Derek Lauritzen popped in 15 (5, 5x8) and Jensen 14 (4. 6x12). Brian Vaifanua added eight and some strong board work.

The Warriors must beat Brighton on the Bengal court Tuesday, but after West Jordan stunned Alta Tuesday, it appears that anything is possible.
