Show f Thursday, March THE GREEN SHEET 13, 1986 Pirates Claim State Silver MURRAY. Cyprus highs girls basketball team ran into a buzz-sain Woods Cross high Saturday night at Murray high, but judging by how other teams fared against the Wildcats during 4A state play, the Pirates had lots of company. Woods Cross claimed the 4A crown with an victory, dominating the game from the opening tip. Theyve been doing that to people throughout the tournament and throughout the year, commented 80-6- 1 Cyprus coach Jenifer Orison. Theyre are an extremely team. Where some teams have, maybe, one great player, theyve got five. Though it was definitely a tough way to end the tournament, Coach Orison and her players walked away with their heads high. They did, after all, accomplish a goal that had eluded them in four prior trips to state under Orison: win a game. To have never won a game at state, noted Orison, then to make well-balanc- it to the finals, Im very proud of these girls. Coach Orisons feelings were echoed by Pirate standout Sheri Snow, who was among those team. selected to the Coming into the tournament, our goal was to win that first game, Snow stated. After that, everything else was just icing. The only other Green Sheet area team to play on the final day was Hillcrest. The Huskies dropped 5 decision to Clearfield, finishing seventh. Hillcrest guard Leslie Varoz was also named to the tournament team, as was Mindy Tanner of Olympus. Woods Cross jumped out to a 14-first period lead in the title test and just continued to pull away. Rebounding, fast breaking and shooting from anywhere on the floor, there werent a whole lot of things the Wildcats didnt do right. By the halfway mark, they had built up a 7 margin, leaving Cyprus with the tall task of making up 20 points in 16 minutes of action. Cyprus started well in the third quarter, but soon Woods Cross charged back, canceling out the Pirate gains and running its adwith eight vantage to 30 points, minutes left. The Wildcats began wholescale substitutions in the fourth quarter. Snow led once more with 16 points, followed by Susan Slaven with 15, Natalie Baxter with 12 and Dian; Casper with 10. The Pirates trip to the finals began with a win over Viewmont and continued with a 9 overtime victory over Clearfield last Wednesday. Last second free throws by Baxter and Snow sealed the win, Snow ending un with 33. points for the night.

Taylorsville high Coach Dan Leatherwood had no illusions going into Monday nights first-eve- r state tourney test for his Taylorsville Warriors. T just hope we play well, he said as he watched the tall and talented Bountiful Braves warm up at the other end of the court. The Warrior mentor knew his team was up against a powerhouse and he may have even had a hunch about how a team might respond to its first-eve- r visit to the state scene. He just didnt want to be overwhelmed. Leatherwood did not get his wish. His worst nightmares came true as Taylorsville suffered through a embarrassment at the hands of the team that has been ranked number one in all of the season-endin- g prep polls. The Warriors became the fourth Region Three team to fall in the opening round, with only region champion Skyline able to post a victory. Bountiful w'ent on to meet an equally tall Orem squad in a 68-4- 3 last night quarterfinal match-u- p (Wednesday). The Warriors hoped to bounce back against a fiesty Weber team in the consolation round played yesterday after press time. Warrior Mike Johnson hit the games first bucket, but Bountiful responded with 17 unanswered points as Taylorsville made every offensive and defensive mistake in the book. After that run, the contest was virtually over. The score stood at 21-- 6 after one period and the slaughter continued in the second with Bountiful taking a edge into the lockerroom. Both teams scored 10 points in the third period and in the fourth the Braves outscored the Warriors The one area where Taylorsville showed its best skill was at the charity stripe where the Warriors connected on 13x15. Bountiful hit 37-1- 3 21-2- One plus for Leatherwood was that he was able to use some of his young 61-4- 6. players for meaningful stretches and should the Warriors find themselves in the state tourney next season, it wont be so new. Two of the Warrior starters are juniors, as well. Going into Wednesdays test, the Warriors had to hope they could regain the form that led them to a record that included victories over teams such as Cyprus, Cottonwood, Olympus and East. Certainly they were anxious to prove that Monday was just one of those things that sometimes happen. The winner of last nights test will play tonight (Thursday) at 7:10 p.m. against the winner of the Clearfield-Binghacontest and the winner of that one will battle for the consolation title Saturday at 5 p.m. 14-- 6 18x24. Johnson was the lone Warrior to reach double digits. He claimed game scoring honors with 14 (4, 6x7). Todd Hailstone added eight and Doug Harmon came off the bench for seven.
