Show , Rams Work Hard for Tournament Entry Right Coach John Wood's Parowan High School basketball team had to get into the state Class B tour-namen tour-namen the hard way this year, as third place team from Reg-Ion Reg-Ion Ten, by winning the regional playoff at Hurricane and St. George last Friday and Saturday. This takes us back to 1953 first P' rowan team to the state when Coach Twist Jones took the meet In 20 years, by winning In a playoff held in Parowan. This year the Rams had to beat Cedar and Millard; that year they had to beat Cedar and Hinckley. And that win in 1953 started a string f tournament trips for Parowan which has lasted until now, which we doubt ha3 been equalled equal-led by any team In the state. In this year's playoff Coach Wood's Rams had to go Into an jvertime to beat the Cedar Red-I nen (story on sports page) on ?riday night at Hurricane, but vere able to win from Coach Dick Tones' Millard Eagles quite han-hly han-hly by a 64 to 54 score at St. leorge on Saturday. Millard had liminated Hurricane from the )layoff In Hurricane Friday by x 54-50 score. In the Parowan-Millard game vith both teams about even in ;ize and height, the Rams were ible to defense the Eagles most f the way and took quarter eads of 15 to 12. 42 to 22 and JO to 33. In the final period all of the members of the Ram squad got Into the act and did very well although the losers cut down on the big lead held by the victors at that point. , Consistent shooting from both the Inside and out by the Parowan Par-owan starters had the Millard defense baffled most of the time with four of the five hltlng In the double figures.
