Show Review - Wednesday, March 14, 1984 -- p - ( mxmm ) Bantam tourney As the Bantam Basketball teams geared up for the upcoming City Bantam Basketball Tournament which will be held in Pleasant Grove the week of March U through the 17, there were some really great games and individual performances by the teams that played last Saturday. The District "Three" Tournament will also be hosted this year in Pleasant Grove the week o March 19 through the 23. Severa teams from throughout the district will be participating m that tournament, including Pleasant Grove teams. In the top offensive outing of the Brook Blackhurst scored a year high 20 points as the Sonics beat the Bucks to finish in fifth place in Division II. Rosenloff and Frampton with eight points each supported Blackhurst's explosion while Hurt with 11 and Veinker led the Bucks. One of the teams to watch in the upcoming city tournament will be the Celtics as they are led by a very much improved West who had 19, Brown, 9 and Johnston, 8, which give them height and scoring punch. The Pacers were led by Larsen with 6 and Attwood with 4. Watkins with 8 led the , Suns the day for The big game of leadership of Division I saw a very spirited Spurs team beat back the Lakers, 30 to 21. Stott with 9 and Roper and VanDyke with 6 each had a little bit too much offense for a Laker team which was led by Dickerson's 9 and Johnson with 4. A cold third quarter was just too much for the Lakers to overcome as they only scored one point which saw a close 15 to 13 score balloon out to 21 to 14, which theSpursrode home to a victory. The City Bantam Tournament will be held March 12, 13 and 14 at the High School Boys Gymnasium, with the semi-final- s and finals at the Recreation Center on Friday night and Saturday. 1 he top four teams from the city tournament will advance to the District "3" Bantam Tournament -- which will be hosted by Pleasant Grove beginning on March 19 through Friday the 23. The first two nights will see games played at the Community Center and Boys gym at the high school, with Wednesday, Thursday and Friday's games played at the Community Center. The public is invited to come and see some highly skilled and exciting action. The Cougars barely escaped with their lives as the Jazz roared back Jrom a disastrous first half and fell ' two points short of giving the Cougars their first loss of the season, Olsen with 9 and Flinders with 6 were enough to beat back the challenge of the Jazz who were led by Hayden with 13 and Durrant with 6. This, could set the stage for the semi-final- s of the city tournament if the Jazz and Cougars work their way through the lower bracket. The Bullets continued their winning ways with a sharp offense led by Mayo, Garrett and Tolman, . and a tough defense which functions totally as a team. The Bullets were able to hit the open man often enough Saturday to beat back a potentially great Suns team, 35 to 29. Mayo with 17 and Garrett with 6 led a determined third and fourth quarter charge by the Bullets, as Preece with 12 and Standings Division I Win Loss Spurs 8 2 Spirits 7 3 Celtics 6 4 Lakers 6 4 Knicks 2 8 Pacers 1 9 Division II Win Loss Cougars 10 0 Bullets 7 3 Jazz 6 4 Suns 4 6 Sonics 3 7 Bucks 0 10 Results - March 10, 1984 Spirits 48 Knicks 34 Sonics 47 Bucks 24 Bullets 35 Suns 29 Pacers 23 Celtics 50 Cougars 28 Jazz 26 Spurs 30 Lakers 21 Vikes make a nice try in state 3--A tournament Jordan, the states number one ranked team, convinced Pleasant Grove players, coaches and fans exactly why they have held that lofty rating. In a State Tourney game played at Viewmont High School in Bountiful last Wednesday, the Beetdiggers overcame a scoreless first four minutes to tie the game at 2-- By the end of the first period Jordan had taken an 6 lead and throughout the remainder of the game they continued to widen the margin. Matt Norman and Jim Brown hit the first two Viking shots and a hustling PG defense forced Jordan into a rash of first period turnovers. Not until the four minute mark did Muir drill a jumper from the top of the key to get Jordan on the scoreboard. During that spell, Norman's basket was the games only score. ' Danny McEntire, Jordans 6'3" guard was the top scorer with 17 points. McEntire, like the rest of the starting five for Jordan, looks like a basketball player. As one observed noted, "they remind you of five greyhounds out on the floor." Not only do they look like basketball players, they play like and shoot like basketball players. The starting Jordan five of Muir, McEntire, Hill, Gomez and shot 72 percent from the field by hitting on 21 of 29. The Jordan team as a whole burned the nets at a 67 percent clip. While Coach Keith Allred's troops were able to control the tempo, the Vikes were in the game. But when they would shut off one Jordan hot shot, another would step forward to "shoot the eyes out of the basket." Coach Hal Hale, Beetdigger mentor, showed the class of a gentleman by taking his regulars out for the last four minutes of the third quarter and the last three minutes of the game. Norman, Brown and Brad Kit-chen each had six points for PG, a statistic that give's ample evidence of how Jordan can play defense. PG 50 Logan 49 Logan, champions of Region 5, but first night loosers to Orem, gave the Vikings a chance to prove they could play with a "normal team." The Vikes did just that in an "half court game" in Davis District's "plush" Bountiful High School. Dictating the game tempo throughout, PG patiently attacked a variety of defenses thrown up by the Grizzlies. Matt Norman totaled 16 points for the Vikes with Bryce Peterson getting 12, Jim Brown 10 and Brad Kitchen nine for a balanced PG offensive attack. After eight minutes of play PG was up by two points, 12-1- and at the half the Vikes led 23-2- Kitchen got the second half tip to Norman and the senior guard made a nice assist to Brown fro a quick layup to get the Vikes off to a good start. But the Vikes couldn't shake the Region Champs from Logan and to start the final period the score was tied at 36. Logan took a brief lead at 43-4- 2 with 4:08 to play. A Viking time out quickly followed and when the Vikes returned to the floor, Kitchen tied the game with a free throw. With the clock showing 2:16, Mark Clements dropped in a free throw and the Vikes were on top to stay. With nine seconds left, PG was leading by three, 50-4- and Brown was at the line for a pair of free throws. The shots wouldn't fall but by the time Logan could get the ball up the court and make a driving layup, there were only two seconds on the clock. Clements smartly grabbed the ball and held on to it with both hands until the buzzer sounded the end of the game. PG shot an even 50 percent from the floor by making 18 of 36. Kitchen and Peterson each pulled down seven rebounds. From the line the Vikes were 14 of 24 for 58 percent. PG played Bear River Monday afternoon in the Marriot Center in a 1:30 p.m. consolation game. " "pr We have a retirement plan you can bank on Depend on it. Farmerstax. deductible Individual Re.
