By Jen Beasley Obituaries Roy Lee Huggard HUNTSVILLE - Roy Lee Huggard, 51, returned to his Heavenly Father on Sunday morning, December 10, 2000, from injuries sustained in a single car accident. He was born June 6, 1949 in American Fork, Utah. Following his graduation from American Fork High School, he served an LDS Mission in England. He later attended B.Y.U. where he met his eternal sweetheart, Ellen Sauer. They were sealed in the Idaho Falls Temple on December 19, 1970. He served his country in the United States Navy on the submarine, USS Billfish. Roy served his Heavenly Father in many callings. He was a champion of youth and served as Scout Master and Young Men’s President, and was currently serving as second counselor in the Bishopric of the Huntsville Middlefork Ward. Roy was self-employed as a general contractor. Roy will especially be remembered for his random acts of kindness, service, and deep love for his fellow men. He was a man without guile. He dedicated his life to his family - taught them his work ethic, the joys of living, and how to play hard. He was an avid outdoorsman and spent countless hours fly-fishing with his sons.

Some say, “It’s not that amazing, they’ve been in the league for a thousand years.” Others scoff simply because they wrongly believe that points and assists are as easy to come by as Malone and Stockton have always made it look. I contend that these records are being broken as of late because the Utah Jazz players are extremely good at the game of basketball, and I will give credit where credit is due. As I reported in a previous article, John Stockton passed John Havlicek for the all-time record for consecutive games played with the same team on November 26, 2000. And he didn’t stop there. In a win against Golden State, Stockton racked up his 14,000 assist, and in the next game, a loss vs. San Antonio, tallied 17,000 career points. He was modest about the accomplishments, crediting, as always, his teammates and coach for his success. So whom did all those assists go to? A good many were passes to Karl Malone who, in a 98-84 win over Toronto, wrote another page in the basketball history books. With 4:58 remaining in the second quarter, the Mailman hit an up-and-under finger roll to surpass Wilt “The Stilt” Chamberlain as second all-time in scoring. The shot was fittingly assisted by the second half of the Dynamic Duo, John Stockton. Malone received a standing ovation and at the first dead ball took the opportunity to hug his family and teammates. The only damper on the evening came when Malone was ejected with a “T” in the final 50 seconds of the game. When asked why the ref had the gall to throw him out, Malone said, “I still play with fire. That’s part of it.” Finally, in a loss vs. the Raptors on December 19, Olden Polynice played his 1,000 career game. It seems small, until you realize that Michael Jordan himself fell hundreds of games short of this number. It just goes to show you—you give ‘em an inch, they’ll take a milestone. Fast Break 11/28- The Jazz pull out an exciting 98-92 victory over the New Jersey Nets. Karl Malone scored 11 points in the last 7:34 and had 21 points overall. When asked what it was like in the fourth quarter, Malone replied, “I knew down the stretch what plays we were running. They were my plays and I knew what to do with the basketball once I got it.” 11/29- A nip-and-tuck contest with Orlando came down to the final 39 seconds when Danny Manning hit a pair of clutch free-throws to boost the Jazz to a four-point lead. The Magic’s John Amaechi responded with two of his own from the stripe, cutting it back to a precarious two points. Bryon Russell then missed a lay-up but, due to a stifling defense by the Jazz, Tracy McGrady could not get the game-tying shot off. The Jazz won 88-86. Upon review of the play, a no-call was the right call, but with the Jazz’s last-second loss to Orlando last season, some bad blood may be brewing between the two clubs. 12/15- The Utah Jazz handed New York a great reason to hang their heads as they held the Knicks to a meager 58 points, a record low since the introduction of the shot clock. The Jazz then, ironically, dropped their next two games vs. Cleveland and Toronto, mostly due to an extremely poor defensive effort. 12/20- Karl Malone responds in a big way to Jerry Sloan benching him in the third quarter vs. the Raptors by scoring a double-double the next night against the 76ers. Malone got 13 boards and had a season-high 41 points as the Jazz rallied from a 16-point deficit to beat Philly 9189. Manning chipped in big in the fourth with a 16-point total, and the game was ended on a fantastic block by Donyell Marshall. Questions? Comments? Feel free to email me at FanJazzer@aol.com |
