Show Milford, we would say they are all but "in". The Eagles now in second place, came to Beaver and gave the Beavers an 84-64 licking which was not too much of a surprise, only the margin of victory. The Eagles have two more names to play, Tigers Back on Top In Division Basketball Battle TEAM STANDINGS Northern Division Region 8 Milford 5 2 .715 Millard 4 2 .667 Parowan 4 3 .572 Dolta 3 3 .500 Beaver 0 6 .000 Basketball play in the Northern Nor-thern Division of Region Eight last week end, which featured two rounds, did away with the four-way tie which existed exist-ed last week and all but settled set-tled the division championship. champion-ship. The Milford Tigers emerged emer-ged at the top, with an ex-eellant ex-eellant chance to stay there, and the Millard Eagles in a Dosition where they can tie for the lead or finish in second place. The Milford team, with wins over Parowan Friday, and Delta Del-ta Saturday, clinched at least a tie for the championship While slightly favored to win over Parowan on their own floor, the 62-49 margin was unexpected. But when the Tigers Tig-ers traveled to Delta and came up with a 55-52 win over the Rabbits, they really pulled the unexpected for most fans. And with only winless Beaver left to play, with the game at Parowan at Fillmore on thrus-day thrus-day and Delta at Delta next week. If they can win both, they can move into a tie with Milford for the championship. The Ram-Eagle game at Fillmore this Friday ends the league season for Parowan. If they can win it will give them a 5 - 3 record which should be good for second place or a tie for second depending on what happens at Delta the next week end. Coach Elliot Jordan's Jor-dan's Rams beat the Eagles at Parowan in the first round by 23 points, and a change in floors should not make that big a difference, and the Rams should win it. Delta beat Millard at Fillmore Fill-more in the first round andj will be favored to do it again ' at home, but two consecutive losses by the Rabbits, one on their own floor intimates they are not as good as some felt. And they still have to come to Beaver this Thursday. A win in this one and then over Millard Mil-lard will put them in second place, either alone or with somebody. rohwmatteButno But no matter how the rest of the games turn out, the four leaders will be in the Region Eight Round Robin with Cedar, Dixie, Hurricane and Kanab. The round robin will bo played at Fillmore this year after the end of playj on a division basis. ' |
