Show Vikings Lose Double Overtime Game to Lehi Last Wednesday by Jan Carter Viking Sportswriter The Vikings just couldn't pull off a win a week ago when they lost to the Lehi Pioneers 80 to 72 in double overtime. The game was played in the P.G. gym. Lehi lead most of the way throughout the game except for the last seven minutes, where the teams were tied several times. In the final seconds of regulation play, Miner of Lehi . took the ball and drove for the basket and a lay-up. Although Al-though no one could hear, the buzzer apparently sounded when the ball was on the glass and it dropped through to throw the teams into overtime. In the first overtime play, the Vikings played tough defense, de-fense, and big Parke Hansen tied the contest on a three-point three-point play that started when Hansen pulled down an offensive offen-sive rebound and put it thru, and was fouled. In double overtime the story was agressive defense by the Vikings but too many fouls. Lehi's foul shooting then put the game out of reach. This Friday, Feb. 6, it's P.G. at Orem, Springville at Provo, Lehi at Payson, and American Fork at Carbon. Spanish Fork draws a bye. Pleasant Grove should hope for a Payson win against Lehi, because with only Payson, Lehi and Pleasant Grove in the A bracket, this would again put them all tied up and P.G. then would have a chance by beating beat-ing Payson later.
