During the first years, the school experienced the normal growing pains of forming a winning basketball team. When the school was still noticeably deplete of juniors and seniors, it slowly, yet calculatedly, began its ascent to the region basketball championship. Now, with all four grade levels present, the school has finally attained its earlier goal of leading all schools in its region. It is now on the threshold of earning its fii st state basketball championship trophy. Unlike many schools, the newest of the Davis County high sch(xIs has two chances of attaining this later goal. This year. Woods Cross is being represented at the basketball championship by its boys' and state girls' basketball teams. Both teams placed first in region play. The girls also earned the first place spot last year when seniors were still missing from the team. The boys team dinged to its undefeated region in the last title Tuesday by gliding past South, game of the season. State tournament competition will begin Monday. Three Leaders During the tournament, the boys will be represented by Mark McCleery, who is averaging 18 points a game; Jeff Ostler, a 5 foot 9 guard with a 13 12 point average, and Mark fefheminant, a guard with a average. The girls led the region throughout the season, with only one loss in 14 games. Supported primarily by juniors, the girls refused to succumb to the pressures of the state tournament Tuesday as they 3, in the opening defeated Plaeasant Grove, round. The girls team will rely on the help of sophomores Val Wilkins and Geri Jardine, and juniors Carolyn Martineau and Chemaine Creer.

Woods Cross girls first-plac- i f i 3-- A - i WTiat attributed to the success of these relatively young teams? "Those kids have always won, avowed Wayne Baker, coach of the boys. "This same group has been winning since junior high." Similar Sentiments Debbie Peel, girls basketball coach, echoed similar sentiments, noting however that the girls were able to get more experience since they were allowed to play on the varisity level when they were freshmen. Presently, the girls team is mirroring the boys' team in several respeets. According to Miss Peel, the girls are using some of the boys plays. Both teams also prefer the fast break. The two coaches agreed they prefer this type of play because their teams are considered smaller than their opponents. Sinee we are small, we rely a lot on speed and quickness, said Miss Peel. "Yet neither one of us really runs a run and gun game. Statistics Similar Statistics are also similar. Mr. Baker claimed that the boys shoot 70 percent from the free throw line, while the girls shoot a bit lower. Both coaches noted their respective teams probably have a 2 percent field goal average. The girls are fast approaching the boys point average for games. This year the boys were averaging 60 points a game, with the girls in pursuit with s 52 point average. The coaches noted the winning season has placed a lot of pressure on them. When you are a losing team, it is no big deal to lose, said Mr. Baker. "But, if you are winning and lose, then you were upset. Mr. Baker said he may not have to worry about some of these pressures next year since he is losing seven of his players. Only 2 Leaving The girls, on the other hand, have a good chance of staying on top since only two seniors will be leaving. Winning also has its advantages. The school is no longer apathetic. "I was disappointed at the beginning of the year because of the apathy," remarked Mr. Baker. "Lately the crowds have really picked up. Miss Peel noted, "Everyone loves a winning team. Even for the girls, the crowds are improving. : t F L. rf V Vt-- x A 1 2' w-- 1 1 i Shooting by Woods Cross guard (13), helped Jeff Ostler, earn undefeated record in region play this year.
