Show The Garfield Insider February 4, 2010 NTER AIN EN 8 EVENTS FOLLOW YOUR ANCESTRAL. TRAIL AT THE 2010 NGS FAMILY HISTORY CONFERENCE Thursday, February 4, 2010 • BVHS Boys Basketball @ Milford • EHS Boys Basketball @ Wayne • PHS Boys Basketball @ home vs. Valley RH:SrSIDE•LINES --0 By Mack Oetting The Lady Cats had a busy week going 2-1. The Ladies went to Valley on a night that wasn't fit for man or beast. You really get to appreciate the Garfield State road crew and their snow plowing of the roads, when you go to Kane County, I don't know if they don't have plows or what, but it's an exciting time driving on their roads. The girls played on Wednesday and came away a winner by the score of 53 to 39. The Cats were led again by Kalani Norris with 20 points, Chelsie Barney with 11 and Natashia Barney had 10. On Friday Panguitch went to Piute to play the # 1 ranked Thunderbirds. The Ladies struggled to start the game spotting the T-Birds with a 10-0 lead. Once they got over their scoring slump the pretty well played Piute even for the final 3 1/2 quarters and Piute went on to win 55-42. Again Kalani let the Cats with 24 points, and Breanne Bateman hit for 12. Piute is one of four teams without a lost. As easy a time as Panguitch is having with the other team in region 20, this could be just like volleyball season and we could play the T-Birds two more times, 1 at Region and once at State. The Lady Cats have lost two lA games this year and they were both against Piute. On Saturday the Ladies traveled to Escalante for a make up game that was cancelled because of bad weather. Escalante is still shorthanded and the Cats again took them out. Kalani had 23, Chelsie 13, and Breanne ended up with 12. Can you believe that basketball season is coming to an end? The girls have a closing home game with Milford on Wednesday Feb. 3rd, and a last away game at Wayne. Regions this year are being held in Panguitch, and will begin February 10 and run through the 12. Stay tuned for time and teams. Last year the Region was held in Cedar City and was very poorly attended. When a region 20 school puts on the games the money stays in our Region. The Bobcats had a mixed week also, traveling to Escalante and winning easily, 62 to 34. Home Coming night was another story, with the Cats coming away with a lost by Bryce Valley, 60 to 49. I guess the two Roundy boys did some big scoring for BV. As I have said before, most of the teams in Region 20 can win on any given night. Last week SLC Tribune had Panguitch ranked 2nd behind Rich, with Valley 3rd and Piute 4th, with teams to watch, Milford and Bryce Valley. So sit back and enjoy these league games, they are fun to watch. The Boys season lasts two weeks longer than the girls. There are some big games coming up with the Cats hosting Valley on Feb. 4th and on Feb 9th the Cats are at Piute for another big game. The Wrestlers went to a tournament in Enterprise and three of the boys placed, with Jory Owens placed 2nd in the 105# bracket, Cade Coles 3rd in 112# and John Mudge taking 4th as a heavy weight. Jory Owens weight is up to 95# and has a combined record 32 wins and 6 losses at the 105# bracket, none of his losses were against 1A wrestlers. Next week is Regions and they are at Milford, and the event will be held on February 6, with State the following week at UVU on February 12 and 13th. 16 Bobcats will go to Region. I talked to Lance Miller who took a team of 11 fifth through 8th graders to Sevier Valley for a tournament, which had 560 bantam wrestlers. Lance said that he and Cory Owens were working the boys for only a couple week and they did really well. Those that went were Kellen Mooney, Kolton Owens, Connor Coles, Carson Brown, Austin Miller, Jordan Sidwell, Makoy Dodds, Sam Brophy, Max Smith, Hunter Owens, and Rowdy Josie. Jordan Sidwell and Makoy Dodds both took 3rd place and Kolton Owens and Austin Miller took 5th. Lance said everyone had fun and they will be starting a bantam program in a few weeks.

You've really got to love 'em. I'm a kind of expert. I've had so many of 'em. They kind of tend toward ice cream, and some big yummy cake, Which all that sweet stuff all at once induces the belly ache. Every year that passes the cake gets one more candle. I don't get none any more. Eighty's too many to handle. The chances of a major blaze could make the world queasy. The Global Warming people called and asked me to take it easy. So, birthdays come, and birthdays go, and it is all so pleasant, And the Global Warming people could maybe send me a present. Poems written by Ray Conrad www.raymondconrad.com r 40.."4■"‘`..7,744s7‘.
