Show Rams Lose Horns In Region Six Playoff After winning the last five games in league play in the Millard Mil-lard division, trimming the Bea-er Bea-er team in decisive fashion, the Parowan High School team suddenly sud-denly lost its winning ways when it came to the Region Six play-off and dropped this game to the Dixie Division champions, the Hurricane Tigers by a 51 to 39 score. And they looked as bad in this game as the score sounds, showing little of the fire and fight which had carried them to the division championship and a berth in the state Class B tournament. tour-nament. The Tigers went into a 6 to 0 lead in the opening minutes of the game which was played in the CSU fieldhouse on the final night of the regional round robin which saw Delta win the third place trophy and the third berth in the state meet from the region. The Rams finally drew up even with the Hurricane crew, mostly on foul shooting, by the end of the first quarter. In the second period, with LeBaron, big Tiger center, controlling both bank-boards bank-boards that team took a 29 to 21 lead at half time. The Rams made their best bid in the third quarter, coming up to within four points of the leaders a couple of times, but trailed 37 to 31 as the period ended. In the last quarter with Eric Clark and Gale Stolk, Parowan's tall men, sitting on the bench for excessive fouling Hurricane pulled away to the 12 point lead at the end of the game. The play of the Rams was far under the caliber which they had played during most of the league .season, and the two teams which finished next to them in league play showed much more in the game which preceded the Paro- 'wan-Hurricane game. |
