Show In Section B Wednesday, February 5, 19BB Sun Advocate weekend games V to beat lose J Cougar Badgers, Eagles split weekend was credited to the College of Eastern Utah hoop squad after they fell to the Snow Badgers Friday night and picked up a win over the junior varisty from Brigham Young University Saturday. At Snow, the Eagles were faced with a very accurate shooting team and by the end of the first half, were down by 20 points. Gradually, through the second half, the Eagles moved closer to the Badger score and were within eight points midway through. A quick scoring spree from Snow after the Eagles were plagued with a few mistakes moved the Badgers out of reach 7 to the final score. Snow was 0 in conference play after defeating the CEU Eagles and is in very good shape for the rest of conference play, according to Eagle coach Curt Jenson. The Eagles were faced with Rhett Parsons from Snow, who scored 32 points and is the leading field goal percentage shooter in the conference. Jenson said Parsons was very effective with outside bombs and hard drives. The Eagles were led in the scoring against Snow by sophomore Duncan Miles, a forward, scoring 24 points stemming from nine field goals and six points from the free throw line. He was followed Shannon White, by who poured in 12 points from six field goals. Last in the double figures against Snow was Barry guard, Nebeker, a with 11 points. Against the BYU junior varsity, the Eagles played very well at times and very careless at others, Jenson said. I think that was because there was not very much of a challenge since it wasnt a conference game. The young Cougars came to Price with only one reserve on the bench, which surprised Jenson. Usually they load up when we play, he said. It was good to have a chance A in line with 16 while White was to let everybody play and still he said. The Eagle win, dominated throughout the game and claimed an 7 win over the BYU junior varisty. Miles was the scoring leader again with 19 points to his credit. Todd Skousen, a freshman guard, was next credited with 11. Jenson said his team remains healthy at this point of the season. Scott Carter, a forward, was out last week with an ankle sprain, but should be back this week when the team travels to Colorado 85-6- Northwestern Community College on Friday and then hosts the Badgers from Snow on Saturday night. Game time is 7:30 p.m. both nights. The Eagles now stand with a 3 record in the conference. The win was from the first game of conference play over CNCC. 116-9- 3-- Eagle Brian Walker takes to the air in preparation for a slam-dunin Saturday night's game with the junior from Brigham Young University. The Eagles were varsity victorious over the BYU team, but fell to Snow the night k before. Three boxers travel to Idaho The members of the Price Elks Boxing Club traveled to an invitational meet with the Gate City Boxing Club Saturday in By WALT BORLA Pocatello, Idaho. In the senior division at 147 pounds, Mitch Hadden was matched with Lee Corder from Boise. The fight was stopped in the first round after Corder proved to be much too strong for Hadden. Corder was declred the winner of the match. The Elks second fighter, J.J. Thomas, fought in the 75 pound, class against Lucas Corder, also from Boise. Corder received the decision by the judges for this fight, but many spectators thought that Thomas should have won the fight according to coach Ray Montoya, Sr. Montoya said he asked to see the score cards and found that Corder had only won by one point. The loss didnt discourage fighter e VERNAL A rally beginning at the start of the second half allowed the Carbon High Dinos to pull away from the Uintah Utes and coast on to a 7 Region Eight basketball mid-gam- Thomas as he knows there are many more bouts ahead of him, Montoya said. Ray Montoya, Jr. was not able to be matched at his 119 pounds class. Because in the of that, he was matched with a at 136 pounds, named Jeff Pedro. Pedro, however, pulled out of the fight due to the flu and the young Montoya won by default. He was diappointed, according to his coach and father, because he was previously matched up to fight in Phoenix, Ariz., but passed it up to fight in Pocatello. Because of the many that he has championships earned, he is finding it hard to find fights in Utah and Idaho, his father said, so in the future, he will probably be looking for competition in Nevada, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona. 64-4- Snow enthusiasts will have the chance to see an abundance of back country Saturday during the third Scofield Snowride.

The Dinos threatened to make a runaway of the contest after a very close first half and gave Dmo coach Darrell Stewart an opportunity to get a look at some of his reserves in regional action near the end. Carbon had a slim 6 lead 28-2- CEU ladies drop to Snow by three Only a three point margin separated the two teams, but at the final buzzer, it was the Lady Badgers from Snow College winning over the Lady Eagles from the College of Eastern Utah Friday. It was a good game and I was pleased with the ladies performance, coach Jean Brooks said Monday. After trailing troughout the first half, the Lady Eagles managed to capture a edge at the end of the first half, going into the locker rooms with a 7 lead over the hosts. After the intermission, the Snow ladies came back and regained the lead and held it through the remainder of the game, although the CEU ladies were in close pursuit. The CEU ladies beat the Snow ladies from the floor, completing 38 field goals while the opponents put in 34.

Beth Hussey had her best game of the year with 24 points and 10 rebounds. She was followed in scoring by Annette Rogers with 21, Barbara Berrett with 10 and Gaylene Haacke with 10. The Eagle guards are the players who will certainly be Brooks m the double figures, said. The inside game needs more consistency in scoring. The Lady Eagles, now 3 in conference play, are ranked fourth. Utah Tech leads the conference with Snow in second and Dixie in third. Colorado Northwestern trails the conference in fifth. By no means are we out of competiton for second place, Brooks said, We just cant afford to lose any more games. The second round of con- ference play begins this weekend when the ladies will travel to Rangely, Colo, to face the Lady Spartans from Colorado Northwestern Community College Friday. They will then host the ladies from Snow on Saturday night in the Bunnell-Dmitric- h Center. Athletic at the intermission as the two prep rivals exchanged the lead back and forth and were tied a total of seven times during the first half. Uintah had a 2 advantage after the first quarter of play. With the score tied again at 6 Scott Revas hit a long shot at the buzzer to give the Dinos the 14-1- 26-2- slight edge at halftime. With Tom Bill Johnson leading the way, the entire Dmo starting five got into the scoring act in the third quarter surge. Not only were the Dinos scoring at a good clip, but the defensive game against the Utes was so tight that the home team had only two points to show for their efforts over the first six minutes of the third period. The Utes did manage two buckets late in the quarter for a total of six points during that period of time. Meanwhile Carbon was peppering the hoop for 20 points and went into the final stanza with a 2 lead. Johnson topped the Dino scorers with 17 points, Revas had 16, while Cunningham and Cook were also in double figures. Coach Stewart was pleased with the return of Kris Kofford to the Dino squad from a back problem that has kept him out of regional play. Kofford joins Cunningham as the only seniors on the Dino squad who are seeing any appreciable playing time. Stewart inserted some sophomores into the action late in the game, Justin Rowley, an outstanding performer in the junior high ranks with Helper last year, getting into the game. Carbon, in a complete turnaround from the Timpview 48-3- game of a week ago, forced the Utes into twice as many turnovers as they themselves committed. This made a big difference, particularly in the third quarter. The Dinos were on the home court this past Tuesday night hosting the Payson Lions, the school where Dmo Coach Stewart himself played his prep basketball. This was the first meeting of these two teams this season, the Lions a 0 victim of league 67-5- last week.
