Ibey consistently lose key games and as a result are never in contention for a conference title let alone a playoff birth I have been guilty of not reporting on games for the Lady Eagles because let's face it it is much more interesting to read or in my case report on a winning team than a losing team But if you were to ask assistant coach Ted Bianco about the outlook for the Lady Eagles basketball team he would be all smiles "We have never had this many te players sign at CEU" said Bianco Indeed CEU is bringing in the finest recruiting class in the history of the women's basketball program next season Eight players have signed letters of intent to play at CEU including three te representatives from Utah and two from neighboring states The three first team players from Utah are Jenny Powell Carbon High School Angela Ross Timpview High School Tasha Bradley Emery High School Also joining the playLady Eagles will be ers Shelly Johnson from Las Cruces NM and Jennifer Harding out of Soda Springs Id High School standouts Dione Carlson Carbon High School Lianna Snuka Orem High School and Amy Trucks from (hand Junction Co have also committed to CEU Add this future freshman class to returning players such as Staci Myers Jennifer Leach and Kim Liddell and the outlook for women's basketball at CEU is extremely bright Some of the future Lady Eagles names may sound familiar to students Jenny Powell is the daughter of CEU faculty member Mary Helen Powell Tasha Bradley is the sister of the current BYU star and future NBA lottery pick Shawn Bradley And Lianna Snuka is the daughter of high flying professional wrestler Jimmy "Supcrfly" Snuka all-sta- all-sta- VJ - : w 1- I t SV ’j- y c i ? by Richard Nielsen sports editor v ’v v 3 all-sta- all-sta- te Chris Hathaway falls In an attempt to bast the throw to first after hitting a grounder 7--against Snow Collage at the (photo by Richord Nloloon) Price Field whore the Badgers capitalized on Eagle errors In winning two games M 5 te |
