Show Cougars, Eagles Drop Weekend Basketball Tilts -as b 0 onp 'guns B UI UIJB siq The season's opening basketball basket-ball game on Union High's floor last Saturday night found the Cougars in about as frigid a state as it could be possible for a team to be in, and a lot of loyal fans were disappointed in seeing their pride and joy drop a 38-23 contest to a visiting team from Lehi. Duchesne was dumped on a road trip 58-33. It was a case of one team being be-ing sloppy hot playing against a team that was colder than a pack of Eskimo dogs. The Cougars Cou-gars couldn't buy a basket and the visitors couldn't miss during the second half. The game started off as though it were going to be a ding-dong affairs Lehi scored first from the four line, then the Cougars tied it with a foul pitch. Lehi scored from the field and Craig Hutchings tied it up for Union at 3-3. Both teams handled the ball reasonably well the first half and both defenses were working as the half ended 14-11 for Lehi. But the second half turned out to be a rout for Lehi as they began pouring in the points, and the Cougars missed a billion shots enough that had they collected 20 of them, they could have won a ball game. There aren't any Union fans who are disheartened, because they have a potentially good team. It will take a few weeks to iron out the kinks and find! a combination. And when they do. with the speed they have, the Congars should be a good team. The Eagles from Duchesne dropped a 58-33 contest to South Emery at Ferron last weekend as Coach Long took his lads on a trip across Indian Canyon to play a couple of games. The Eagles, like the Cougars, have a lot of speed, but lack height. And even though they were hard hit by graduation. Duchesne will be heard from 'er I the season is over.
