Elletts performance was analagous to Lord Nelson's victory at Trafalgar as he slashed through Bountifuls vaunted defense with impunity, repeatedly burning the braves with his power and finesse.

Both teams shot well but bountifuls ability to match its earlier output in the first game was not nearly enough to quell the relentless Pirate assault on the hoop led by Lance Ellett. On this night, no amount of defense or platooning harassed the bigger Pirates unmercifully enroute to an impressive 75-6- 1 victory. Maxwell was euphoric post game and had allowed that scuttling the Pirates had been the result of launching wave after wave of his diminutive defenders against coach Sidwells outnumbered crew. talk about those running for President?

But the Pirates were in no mood to be messed with this time as they pounded that ball inside to Ellett who either went to the hoop or dumped it back outside for some downtown shooting on the perimeter. Able to break through Bountifuls aggressive defense, the Pirates were almost unstoppable on their end of the Pirates. The Pirates, led by The Admiral, Lance Ellett (not the same money, but you change school districts as a teacher and you have to take a pay cut. How is that politically correct? Are you sure thats constitutional? You can be on the offensive line at BYU and never touch a soul, and still keep your scholarship. You can even go to a bowl game and lay an egg; miss every block; get your coach fired and theyll still get you a tutor. Your line coach may get his walking papers, but you have the promise of a four year scholarship. Is that a double standard?

They were impressive as a team in all the important categories and outplayed the suddenly vulnerable braves on both sides of the ball. Credit Cyprus with being ready to show what they are capable of, having learned from their early letdown in January. So how good are the Pirates? Its difficult to say but on this night, they really showed Bountiful what they were truly capable of. No doubt the rest of the competition in Region 5 shared a collective sigh of relief knowing that the Pirates had saved on of their best games of the season for the Braves. Jeff Jensen had another excellent game for the braves scoring 15 while Steve Clegg added 16.
