Sunday March The Sail Mountain View Nips Rival Provo for 3-Clutch Free Throws Lead Bruins to Win Iii NCAA Couch Joel Gardner's words to his Mountain View Bruins with seconds left in Saturday's Class state basketball final at BYl"s Marriott Center held 4--1 3-- true The Bruins, who defeated Provo twice this season in overtime, found the cure for the foul-linfollies that have plagued both and teams in the past two weeks. The cure gave the Bruins a e 3-- 4-- top-rank- thrilling victory over Provo and handl'd Gardner his first state championship "Joel Gardners teams have always been based on the fact that, if the game is close, well win it," senior guard Gary Cooper said with one of the two nets stripped from the Marriott Center baskets draped around his neck Cooper, who finished with 17 points, was the important ingredient to that cure at the foul line. In the final 2.16 of the game, Cooper stood at the line eight times, defied the piercing noise of the Provo fans, and sank seven crucial free throws. The first two knotted the score for the sixth time in the game at Cooper was fouled at 2: 16, when the Bruins broke up the Provo offense, which had begun nearly a minute earlier, with a steal. "The real critical one iplay) was when we got the steal while they were in the Gardner said after watching his team avenge the loss Provo finale. "Although we had handed it in last years'3-zoned earlier, we went to a man. When youre in that situation, you want to go for the steal, and if you cant get it. at least send them to the line. I thought we did that just right." Without the lead, the Bulldogs were forced back into their regular offense. But the Bruins had slipped into their "rotation zone defense, and the Bulldogs had difficulty finding an opening inside the lane. The Bruins were able to knock the ball loose again and once again Cooper came up with the ball and a foul. This time, Cooper could hit just one of his two attempts, and the Bulldogs grabbed the rebound and raced the ball back into their end. Provo moved the ball to center Dean Lott, who hooked the ball over the Mountain View giants, Alan and Carl Pollard, and gave the lead back to his team, The Bruins looked as though they would run down the clock, looking for the last shot, but with 44 seconds left Cooper drew the fifth foul on Provo point guard Paul Frampton. Cooper stood at the line, with an estimated 9,000 sets of eyes on him, and put his club on top for good, as the lead changed hands for the 14th and final time in the game Provo junior Duane Johnson, who has had an outstanding tournament but was held to ,iust nine points Saturday night, missed an opportunity to put the Bulldogs back on top with 2H seconds left. Johnson missed the front end of a and a wild scramble followed under the Provo basket for the loose ball. Alan Pollard, a senior, saved the ball from going out of bounds, but happened to flip it directly into the hands of Provos Paul Gardner. Rut Gardner missed the open shot from the foul line, and the ball fell to the floor and squirted out of bounds to Mountain View. With 19 seconds left, the Bruins threw the inbounds pass to Alan Pollard, who was fouled by Johnson at halfcourt. Pollard had obviously been taking notes while Cooper was at the line, because he coolly sank both free throws to give the Bruins a three-poinadvantage. Gardner, who gives the young Provo team its stability on the court, took the ball and pulled his team back to within one with a jumper, But when the Bruins moved the ball inbounds, the Bulldogs once again chose to foul the wrong person. Six seconds showed on the clock when Cooper hit lead. two free throws to build an insurmountable "They always say a good player is the one who wants the ball at the foul line when a game is close. Cooper said. "I was just wondering if I was going to get the stiff elliow out there. I was just glad I hit the shots I did." One of the big, or should it be tall, thorns in the side of Provo Coach Jim Spencer was junior Carl Pollard, a player Spencer figured to have on his team this year when the season ended one year ago. Carl played his second straight aggressive offensive 17 points. game and finished with a team-higThe other portion of that Pollard Package that slipped out of Spencers grasp, Alan, scored just six points but played extremely well inside the lane, despite nagging foul trouble. 1 Tribune Staff Photo bv Heather Nelson Gardner (10) of Provo tries to figure out what to do with the ball while Paul AM LPGA Golf: White Still The Lender INDUSTRY, Calif.

"Our three-guaroffense really worked for us tonight." said Jeanie Wilson, coach of the Huskies "We really dont have a center, so we decided to go with this lineup. It has worked for us all year long." When the Falcons played a zone defense, as they did early m the game, Mills controlled the ottense. When the Falcons switched into a defense. Wright switched out and played point guard. "I think we are more effective when the other on us," said Coach team tries to play Wilson, who is nine months pregnant.
