She is tough off the boards, averaging 9 rebounds and 20 points a game. Against Kearns she scored 26 points.

But I know I have the height Ever since 8th grade I've gone to camps. Tanner picked up the sport from her younger brother "My brother was really athletic and I would shoot with him," explained the Titan senior. As for " her moves under the basket .1 had to do something to play I against my brother, he's guess it came naturally. I needed something to fake him out. , . Tanner is such a threat from inside that often opponents double or triple team her But Olympus has other methods of putting points on the board. "Everyone has double teamed her that we have played so far," said Mayne. She has made more points with two or more people on her than anyone. We usually try taking the ball inside in the beginning of the game They opponents make changes and double team Mindy, then our guards take over. Guards Amy Timmons and Wendy Norman are capable of putting the ball up form the corners Along with Tanner, junior Sue Lyons and sophomore Amy Goureiy play the inside in either a double or triple post offense, "I knew we would be good, we work really well together," Tanner said of a team that saw three starters return from last season. "I think our region is tough, so I couldnt say that we will take region," said Mayne. "Were among the lop three teams. But Cyprus and Skyline could win, too. You end up playing 20 games, its foolish to think you wont lose." "I just want to play my best this season," Tanner said. "I want us to play as a team.

I could dive but I was off balance. " "I just practiced a lot to get going again. The competition was really tight. I just thought about my dives. "It was quite a feat to win with such an injury, said coach Kurt Warnecke. "He put in a lot of workout time. He did well considering the time he had to dive without the cast and readjust." Once kgain Teerlink is among the top divers in the state. Thus far he stands in first place in competition. "It looks good right now, that he will repeat the title, said Warnecke.
