Show Are Number One rough, along with their continual confidence that they could win. Coming home from the tournament one was made aware of who the champions were as fans had placed posters along the way welcoming the Buffaloes home. And when they got home Sunday afternoon, the whole town was on hand to greet them. Some of the fans couldnt contain themselves and travelled to Tods at the Divide to escort the champions home. After they arrived in Orderville a celebration was held at which Coach Hoyt spoke, praising the team members and thanking the loyal fans. Some of the team members also spoke. Coach Hoyt said that the boys wanted to win and conducted themselves in that manner, retiring to bed at the proper time and acting as if they were there to take home the first place trophy. Were Number One! That was the cry of the Valley Buffaloes and their fans Saturday night in the Marriott Center on Brigham Young University campus as they had just won the 1981 Class 1A basketball championship. And appropriately enough. .the cover of Saturdays .Valley program was printed in Orange and Black. High School's colors. The Buffaloes stepped into the winners circle Saturday afternoon after showing their prowess by beating fifteen other teams from the Class 1 A ranks and remaining the sole team undefeated by the end of the final game. Cheerleaders and players Crowded around Coach Jim Hoyt as he was presented the championship trophy and the fans, although restrained in the stands, were no less jubilant with the victory, the first state basketball championship in Valleys history. In their conquest for the state title the consistent Buffaloes took the measure of Dugway and then in the Monticello Panguitch Gunnison championship game, Not all Region 12 teams have won a state championship and the Buffaloes join an exclusive club in the winners circle. Panguitch won the crown in 1957 (then called B Division; North Sevier won in 1971 and 1978; Gunnison (the winningest) took the trophy in 1972, 1973, 1974 and 1979; Kanab won it in 1975 and . . (63-43- Tuesday night the victorious Buffaloes were honored at a dance. While the Buffs had an impressive overall record, getting to the top was not an easy task for them. In play they lost their first two games and it looked like it could be a long season. However, they began to get used to each other and started playing as a team and by the end of the regular season they were at the top of the Division Two teams. In Round Robin play the Buffs went to the final rival, game undefeated, when they met Kanab. Both teams at this time had assured themselves a tournament berth and were playing for the Region 12 championship and state tourney seeding. Kanab won that game and some Kane County fans were projecting a possible re match for the state title. In the opening game of the tournament the Buffaloes had it fairly easy as they dominated Dugway, leading all the way and defeating the northern team Scott Crofts led the scoring with 23 points followed by Wayne Jones with 21. ), pre-seaso- n (56-46- (53-52- (51-48- cross-count- Milford in 1977. Commenting on the tournament, Coach Jim Hoyt praised his team for the consistency and stated that, contrary to what some of the northern Utah media thought, Valley was not a Cinderella team. We had a 20-overall record, you can hardly say thats the record of a Cinderella team.

A couple of miscues which resulted in last minute turnovers had Buffalo fans holding their breath but Boyd Harris came through with a couple of clutch baskets to keep the Buffs a few points ahead of the contenders until the final horn ended the championship and winning game with Valley leading Gunnison The second day was a different story and it looked bleak for the Valley team as they trailed Monticello through most of the game. At the first three quarter breaks, the Buffs trailed by nine, seven and then five, but were able to slip past the Buckaroos by a whisker, 53 52.

The need for the clarifica- - stamp won't carry the mail anymore. Beginning at 12:Q1 a.m. Sunday, postal rates went up for the fifth time in 10 years. Another increase may be waiting in the wings. It will now cost 18 cents to mail a one ounce, first class letter within the United States. Postcards, once a penny, now will cost 12 cents. For each additional ounce on a letter, postal patrons will have to part with an extra 17 cents. The charge is triple what it cost to mail a letter a decade ago. The Postal Board of Governors approved the new rates earlier this month because of 15-re- need for more revenue, and asked the independent Postal Rate Commission to reconsider a request for more money. The panel said it was disappointed with the ratemaking commissions decision an to urgent shave $1 billion of its requested rate increases totaling S3. 75 billion and to reject a requested 20 cent stamp. To achieve a lower stamp today, the commission has chosen to ignore more than $1 billion in revenue needs that will have to be collected in the near future," the board of governors said in announcing the hikes. This is not cost cutting, it is make believe. As every -- American family knows only too well, costs and obligations that are ignored do not go away. Sundays price hike is the first since May 1978, but the Postal Service said consumers will probably see another one soon. Postmaster General William F. Bolger said recently the Postal Service probably would seek another rate increase by the end of this year to keep up with rising inflation. Bolger has said a 20 cent stamp was necessary to stabilize rates for three years. With the new rates, the Postal Service is issuing a stamp embossed with a B" on a purple background for 18 cent mail.
