Show The Salt Lake Tribune, Sunday, February In Being Number One Roys Schollee Believes By Roger Graves Tribune Sports Writer Roy Highs Jeff Rehol tec believes in being number one. is an Scholtec academic model of consistency, a fixture on the honor roll and a student leader. As a musician, the articulate young man was named a member of the choir. e So why should his bas- ketball attitude be any different? Royals No. 1 Scholtec, a conglomeration of long arms and even longer legs, has packaged every component of basketball into an unseaforgettable 1977-7son. Few high school players are able to pour themselves heart and soul into a game like this lad. In 14 Region One games this year, Scholtec collected 280 points for a 20.0 average and yanked down 154 rebounds (11 per game) to become the toast of the league. Of course, Scholtec was just doing what comes naturally being the best at what he does. But individual glory was not uppermost in his mind during the recently-complete- d 6-- Now we want to do well in the state tournament. Rv taking home the Region One basketball title, Roy will open tlie state tournament against Region Three's fifth place team, at which time the Royals will be hoping to alter the course of history. Whats past is past," assured Scholtec, referring to Roys unexplainable poor showings during the first round in years gone by. Since there are no real srqrorstars or dominating teams, there isnt any reason why we can't beat anyone else at state. We're going to do well this year." Scholtec is a member of "The Family" at Roy, which is a basketball group not a mafia family. The group consists of Scholtec, forward Brett Prevedei, guard Craig Manning and forward Mike Nichols. All are seniors who have dedicated themselves to the sport. A lot of the other athletes at the school play other sports, but The Family concentrates on basketball," Scholtec chuckled. We spend a lot of time together off the court, too. It's just a group of friends who do lixks up Scholtecs "Family at school is not the only eighth family which specializes in basketball. Jeffs older brother, Alan, performed brilliantly at Roy and now attends Mesa College in Grand Junction, Colo., on a basketball scholarship. Alans love for the game nibbed off on Jeff, and now Jeffs expertise is being shared with his younger brother Steve. We played a lot of basketball when I was younger, said Jeff. 1 looked up to Alan and learned a lot from him. And 1 think Steve now underneath! Roy High Jeff Scholtec (31) taps ball Heres State Preview 4-- A By Roger Graves Tribune Sports Writer Who's the hottest team in Class basketball, now that March is witliin view and Utahs four state tournaments are on the near horizon? Giant-killin- g East must rank as one nominee after upending Olympus last Tuesday and Region Three pacesetter Highland Friday. But not to be forgotten are Bingham, Roy and Viewmont. The Miners have e won seven in a row and maintained their lead in Region Two, while Roy has proven victorious in its last five games to take home the Region One championship. Meanwhile, Viewmont has won two in succession and now must meet Sky View in a playoff Tuesday or Wednesday with a state berth at stake. State Pairings Since March means state tournaments and state tournaments mean state tournament pairings and state tournament pairings mean confusion, here is a state affairs: and sneak preview of the Class state fiesta is scheduled for March The Class is at the University of Utah. The the lone tournament set for the Ute campus this year. According to the current standings (of course, any team may stumble along the way to state), Brighton meet against Clearfield Monday, would open the March 6 at 2:30 p.m. That would pit the coaching brothers, Roger Reid of Clearfield and Duke Reid of Brighton, against one another in round one. Region One titlist Roy will meet either West or Cottonwood Monday at 4:10 p.m. The Panthers and Colts will determine their own fate Tuesday, when they close the Region Three season. West takes on East. winless Granite, while Cottonwood tests red-ho- t The Panthers and Colts are currently tied for fifth place in the league. The 6:30 p.m. game on March 6 appears a certainty. Region Three runnerup Olympus will battle Hillcrest of Region Two unless something unusual happens to upset the matchup. Region Two champion Bingham (assuming the Miners keep their e lead and mathematically earn the league title) would test either Sky View or Viewmont Monday at 8:10 p.m. The lower bracket in the 4 A tournament show s 4-- A one-gam- 4-- 4-- A 3--A 4-- A 4-- A 1 er 4-- one-gam- says ALL EXCLUSIVE offensive-defensiv- e flow, the Roy- many question marks. Currently, it appears Orem would meet Skyline Tuesday, March 7 to kick off the second bracket at 2:30 p.m. Region One runnerup Weber would follow at 4:10 p.m. against either Kearns or Jordan. The Cougars and Beetdiggers both own 8 marks in Region Two, and are tied for fifth place and the leagues final state berth. East, which has vaulted into third place with its two big Region Three upsets last week, is scheduled to take on Layton of Region Oqe March 7 at 6:30 p.m. Highland, which can sew up the Region Three title Tuesday, would match moves with Sky View, Viewmont, Kearns or Jordan at 8:10 p.m. depending on which teams prevail in playoffs early this week. Class Pairings The Class pairings still are subject to many changes. But, should the standings remain as they now are, here is how the first round matchups would 3-- Kenneth read: at Weber State College is the Monday, March opening day, with Provo likely to meet Ben Lomond or Union at 2:30 p.m. Box Elder, Logan or Ogden would take on Tooele at 4:10 p.m., w'hile Murray would battle Springville, Spanish Fork or Timpview of Region Six at 6:30 p.m. Ogden, Woods Cross or Davis would close the first evening against Dixie. Tuesday (March 14) would call for Logan or Box Elder to test Spanish Fork, Springville or Timpview at 2:30 p.m., with Judge matching jumpers with Woods Cross or Davis at 4:10 p.m. American Fork would challenge Woods Cross or Davis at 6:30 p.m., and Carbon would take on either Woods Cross or Davis at 8: 10 if the current standings hold true.
