Show Altamont downs Union; Eagles win, Tigers lose CMMlldatlM THE 0) ROOSEVELT STANDARD, and THE UINTAH BASIN Jonuary 10. 1974" The big question this week in the Uintah Basin is what will happen when the Duchesne Eagles' stingy defense meets the highflying offense of the Altamont Longhorns to decide who is best in Region 10. Consider this: Union high school managed to "hold the Longhorns to only 90 points last week in a losing effort, finally falling with only 63 points of their own. Altamont averages 93 points. Union, ranked high in the state class traveled up to Altamont for the practice tilt. Earlier the Cougars had taken the Longhorns at Union, but this time the Longhornss were waiting with a devastating team atlark. Gary Stringham scored 31 points, blocked four shots and took down 10 rebounds: Joe Fieldsled hit 24 points and made numerous assists; Bruce Todd made 19 points, had seven assists, and 13 rebounds; Reed Wardle blocked 8 shots; and Mike Miks according to coach Brent Brotherson did an excellent job on defense and with assists. How do you stop a team like that? A good Union high team doesn't know. But Union had their stars too with Milo Whitehead leading the Cougar attack with 18 points; Ronnie Fenn had 12 and Mark Ferguson had 10. This week the Union team gets back into Region Nine action with a game with and undefeated Morgan at Union. A victory for Union will put them in the region's driver's seat. Back to Duchesne. They are sitting atop the Region Ten standings with four victories, including one over favorite Monticello. Duchesne had another close game before defeating East Carbon last week The Eagles have had several victories of that sort, but then with the best defensive team in the region a team that gets just a few points down might as well forget a victory because the Eagles don't allow rallies. They have held opponents to only an average of 60 points per game in region play. The well balanced Eagles had another leading scorer in the East Carbon victory, 2-- top-rate- d pre-seas- 73-6- Stringham, leading scorer in Region Ten, dunks a basket in leading Altamont to victory over Union.

They badly needed and wanted a victory over the Green River Pirates to get out of the cellar, but the Pirates smashed the young Tigers 70 45. Lee Gines with 13 and Brian Burt with 12 were the leading Tiger cagers. Local teams in action this week; Morgan at Union. Duchesne at Altamont. Tahiona has a bye.
