Show TIIE SAMPLER 10 Friday, Dec. 5, 1980 Sports Varsity loses two out ofthree WE COT inside on both of their 6'5 kids, he stated, Jimmy has played good and his shot selection has been better than it was last year. Defensively, the Bailey kid beat him only when Jimmy decided te take a breather. As for Eva, Bruce says his forward turns and shoots very well and isnt all alxmt his early outings. I knew if we had to score, it was going to Coine from him," he explained. While subbing for the two front liners, Liddiard has also put in some good time, especially defensively where he recorded a couple blocked shots. THOUGH THE INSIDE game is looking up, Bruces perimeter shooting is still in the throes of a slump. Though Jimmy (Bate) broke out a little bit with six for 12 shooting tonight, Bruce explained, were still not getting anv oint production from Mohammed, Burke and Witkowski. Aside from Brad, Jimmy and Johnny, were shooting a collective three for 36 from the that-surprise- 20-poi- nt field. Bruce, but we never could. With 3:1 remaining and a three point lead, Jimmy (VanLeeuwen) and Steve (Bruce) both missed the front end of a one and one bonus situation. Even if we could have made just two out of the four, it would have given us a five point lead and we could have went into a ' stall. Earlier on, the Mustangs squandered opportunity in the third period. We came down seven straight times and didnt pick up a point, Bruce asserted. And although the Wildcats suffered through the same drought, Bruce wasnt satisfied. After the third time down I called timeout and told them to slow it down and set up the offense. So what do we do? We end up taking a 29 footer on the baseline. But for all the lapses, the Muistangs stayed close throughout the game. In fact, they led for most of the four quarters. DOWN BY four at the end of the first quarter 12-- the Mustangs were even at the half, 28 all, and led by one, 41-4going into the final quarter. We played well inside in. the first half, Bruce pointed out, and Johnny (Bate) and Steve played steady out front. The game also marked the emergence of senior swing man Joe Mohammed, who led the team with 15 points. 8, 0, Like last year, Bruce also needs consistency from his point guard. Coming off a good game against North Summit, son Steve didnt fair as well against the Moquis. When he went down the lane tonight, he passed up a couple of shots he could've made, Bruce offered. He's a 60 shooter when lie docs throw it up but so far he hasn't shot but a few times a game, aiul neither he nor I thought his. shot selection was very good. Following Eva and VanLeeuwen in the seoring was Bate with 12 and Witkowski with three. Bruce added two and Liddiard chipped in a free throw. SURPRISINGLY, Bate and Mohammed led in rebounds with nine apiece while Eva snared five. 1 wouldn't have given ils a dimes shot of a chance to play that close with Escalante, Bruce concluded. But if we can play with them, I think well lie alright when we play Tintic and Wendover. Tin glad to come out of these two 1 and play so well, because in the beginning I really didnt know what to expect. - Mohammed drove the lane well, as witnessed by his .11 free throw attempts, and shot the ball better from the perimeter. FOLLOWING the senior in the scoring was Brad Eva with 13, VanLeeuwen and Bruce with eight and Bate .with seven. Referring to Bate, Bruce added, we never gave him any good shots to shoot. Weve got to get him the ball more than the five or six times we did up there. Team-wis- e, the Mustangs shot 4 1 from the field and 53 from the free throw line, neither of which topped the Wildcats. - 1-- South Summit 56 - Dugway 53 The press has always Itcen good to the Mustangs over the years. It has enabled them to blow teams off the court and come from behind in the final minute of action. It has, in short, lieen their bread and butter. THE SOUTH Summit Wildcats, however, took a few bites out of that his56-5tory Nov. 28 to defeat the Mustangs With a little under three minutes left in the game and the Mustangs leading by three, South Summit applied a press which Mustang coach George Bruce later described as not that tough. Hie Wildcats picked off two passes, however, and along with a foul ran up a string of five quick' points to lead by two. The spread eventually readied seven liefore Dugway cut it to three in the waning seconds. WE HAD a chance to put the Itallgame away a few times," explained 1 3. . Their poor statistics and final minute lapses aside, Bruce explained that the Mustangs lost because they were complacent. IN THE 4 offense, he began, Steve is supposed to break down either side and pass to the wing. Well, we kept backing ourselves up every time we got the ball down there so late in the game we were standing in the far comer. That made it easier for South Summit to defense us. Perhaps the most glaring breakdown, though, was the Mustangs rebounding. .They were the smallest team we've played so for, Bruce said, and we only had 31 rebounds, which is the lowest amount so far this year. , - 1-- i r-r- ? w 'h' J V'. In fact, son Steve led Duway in rebounds with nine. Its true the balls bounded off the rim pretty for, he explained, but If we had been boxing out like we should have been, that wouldnt have been the case. imI. i i 1 i&Vf - ai V,. i . : v - tf 1 AT THE end of the first half, he continued, they put up a 30 footer with just six seconds' left. But we stood their looking at it and some little guard put it down on us. I told them before we went out that it was going to be a five point e and wed have to be intense. Apparently, the Mustangs werent intense enough. s ball-gam- t xv' ; h s Bowling tournament scheduled There will be a Singles No Tap and bowl as often as you wish, There Bowling Tournament from Dec; 12 will be a winner for every ten entries. through 28.
