It wu one of those classic high school battles, Two- - natural rivals, both teams tied fvr the- league lead. The gym was packed and. throughout the game you could barely hear yourself think. Neither team ever gave up. Final score: Duchesne 65, Altamont 63. The smaller Longhorns knew that they faced an uphill battle in the Eagle gym. In fact, this game defined the term height advantage. On a per-mabasis, Duchesne had three to four inches of advantage. Except on the boards Altamont fared well in the land of the giants. Tal Fabrizio, who is generally an automatic 20 points was held to only 16 and most of them came in the second half. Except on the boards; Skywalker had 13 rebounds. According to Duchesne's book the Eagles pulled down 44 boards to Altamont's 24. Conversely the Longhorns forced nearly twice the number of turnovers as their guys committed. It really was a close game in every respect. Team shooting percentages were also quite even. Duchesne hit an even 50 percent from the field while Altamont had a 45 percent average. A bigger margin went to the Eagles in charity tosses. The home team put in 54 percent of their foul shots while the visitors only managed 42 percent Our foul shooting killed us," said Coach Kim Peterson of Altamont. We in the last three were only minutes. And what a final three minutes they were. Neither team dominated in the first quarter before Altamont opened a lead at the intermission. seven-poin- t Duchesne changed that trend quickly in the third quarter leading i t ' . t (I n 1 47-4- 5 going into the final period. That final period was a see-saaffair until the three minute mark. Altamont the Eagles pressed throughout; at the end the dividends began to come in bunches. Three quick s from steals and a technical foul on a frustrated Duchesne player moved the Longhorns to a five-poilead with just over a minute to play. Turnabout was fair play as Duchesne refused to quit While Altamont was throwing up bricks at the foul line, the Eagles were grabbing rebounds and scoring buckets. Tren Grant, the Eagle guard, controlled a crucial tip, and that was the ball game. Grant killed us, said Peterson. from The Duchesne senior was 10-1-2 the floor, a phenomenal 83 percent His 24 points led all scorers and led Peterson to comment, We just didn't control him at all. Duchesne Coach Stan Young admit ted that the Longhorn's plan to contain his big men 6'3, 6'3, and 6'4") worked - in the first half. We changed from an offense which flashed the big guys through the middle to one which kept them inside. Fabrizio and center Blair Madsen camped under the basket in the second half and the strategy worked. Young credited Grant and Kirk with doing a tremendous Bailey defensive job on David Brotherson and Unden Hansen. Neither of the usually productive Longhorns scored in double figures. Steals and turnovers kept them in the game, said Coach Young. Rebounding was the key to our victory." This is the first time that we have done just about what we wanted to," said Coach Peterson, and lost the lay-up- nt game. Bailey scored 10 for the Eagles and Madsen had that many rebounds. Bailey also 'Scored the two points which put Duchesne in the lead for good. Mike Todd, the Altamont giant at 60" pulled down the same number of rebounds as points scored with 14 in each category. Wayne Miles led Longhorn scoring with 18 while Robbie Undsay hit for 17 points. The two teams will meet again in the last Region 11 game of the season. This week Duchesne will host South Summit and Rangely. Altamont will meet league rival Manila in the high country. Tal Fabrizio summed up the game when he asked the photographer, Did you get any pictures of me? The reply: It was pretty hard not to."
