Show sampler 8 the Friday, April 3, 1981 Spqpirttg J me win, sSafle two losses at The way the end arrived on March 21 provided little surprise for followers of this year's Mustang basketball team. Down by 11 to the Duchesne Eagles at the half, Dugway had one of their now renowned charges in closing the gap to within a late in the couple of points, third period. BUT THE run fizzled out and, early in the fourth period, the Eagles . five-minu- te 46-4- 4, had a nine point bulge, 55-4- 6, en route loss to a 67-5- 9 win. The third-gam- e eliminated Dugway from further competition. Like I said, an instant replay; both the surge and their first-ha- lf start. Neither of these traits, however, would have mattered when the Musfive-minu- te tangs tangled with eventual state champion Valley in their first-rou- nd contest. DUGWAY WAS allowed to stay in the game for only six and a half min- utes at eight apiece before Valley buried them inside and outside, for a victory, 63-4- 3.

Against the North Summit Braves, the Mustangs started slowly, trailing 8-- 0 and 25-2- 2 at the half. BUT WITH a field goal by Brad Eva at 4:36 of the third quarter, the Mustangs gained a lead they never relinquished. Though nobody; had an extremely series, seniors Eva great three-gam- e , and backcourt man John Bate did ren ceive recognition. Eva was selected for second team laurels while Bate was a 11 team selection. Region ...
