Show I We're proud of our team j By MARCELLA WALKER Pleasant Grove High School was deserted Monday afternoon as all the students headed for the Marriott Center and the state playoffs with Pleasant Grove meeting Bear River in the consolation bracket. I'm sorry, folks, but we lost. But at least we got to play three games in the state playoffs, which is very nice. We lost to Jordan but came back to beat a good Logan team by one point. A heart stopper, for sure. Then we had the game with Bear River and suddenly it was over. Our football team made it to the final four in football and the basketball team has done a commendable job, too. We are proud of each and every player and coach. Although the season is now over for Pleasant Grove as far as basketball is concerned, BYU still has an opportunity. Wouldn't it be neat if the Cougars could go all the way? I know that is a lot to ask as they are not as powerful nor as tall as a lot of teams. They have played some good ones this year and the "rookie coach has done well for his first year with the Cougars. You all know that I am a very big fan of the Coogs and I get teased about it left and right. But I'm not ashamed to say I love those Cougars. You have all seen my BYU shirt. It is getting frayed and worn looking and I really could use a new . one so I have been dropping the hints but I don't know if it will do any good or not. I have been thinking that I should write a fan letter to Coach Anderson and tell him what a great year it has been, what a terrific player I think Scott Sinek is and that my sole entertainment of the winter has been BYU basketball. We had season tickets so we went to every home game. We listened or watched on TV all the other games so we had to stay home for that. Friends keep asking if we have seen this movie or that and we always have to say no because we have not seen any movies at all this winter .because the games are our entertainment. I'd like to see "Terms of Endearment", 'The Right Stuff', and "Yentl" before the acadeffi awards get here but I m won't make it. Were they as god they say? 81 Baseball season is starting uri.i i PG slated to play Binghai? week, I think, (maybe it's todV and BYU has already begun ft'' pre-season schedule. 65 It would be nice to go to al tk. BYU home games but I know 7 ' won't be able to and besides it J probably be too cold to go to nZ ( of them if it is at all like it Wag ' year. They have held the organizafo i meeting for the Pleasant QK1 f softball season and so that wiL ( coming up before too long andlcai, s hardly wait. j Speaking of movies, we did m ( "Ghandi" on a video at home the other day and it was a very (J, a picture. Of course, we were only a over a year late in seeing it since J S first came out. Mostly I like to set 1 old favorites from the "olden days" p when we get a video. The kids don't particularly enjoy them. I really tl like the old musicals and they all ii moan and groan when they haveb watch them. Usually they leave the j room. s1 I could watch "Camelot" si "Brigadoon", "Oklahoma", 'The cl KingandI","SoundofMusic",and j all the others on a regular basis but b some of the kids die at the thought n "On Golden Pond" has been a i popular one at our house and so g was "Chariots of Fire." All of the Disney shows such as "Private B Eyes" and such are good ones that 9 everyone likes. j However, everyone has theirowi ft ideas. When we go to get videos it is best to leave every person except one at home. The one can pick wit the movies for that week and everyone else will just have to likeit f or lump it. Arguments ensue every time we suggest getting videos Sometimes I wonder if it is worth it fj Have you noticed that everyone and his dog rents videos nowadays? nowa-days? You can get them at the sli grocery store, the music store, the ffii gas station and the convenience rq store. Be Isn't modem life wonderftd?! ; hope we all survive it 111 K |
