Show Union, Uintah Win Week-End Games; Union Met Provo By coming through with a 52-38 52-38 win over Duchesne High last Friday, the Cougars from Union remain atop the Uintah Division with 3 wins and no losses. While this game was in progress at Duchesne, Du-chesne, the Utes from Uintah High invaded the floor of the Altamont Longhorns and came away with a 49-29 victory over Coach Bear-den's Bear-den's team. It was the first win for Uintah and the first loss for Altamont. A scrapping little team from Duchesne threw several scares into in-to league-leading Union as they kept pecking away at the few point lead the Cougars maintained most of the way. In about the middle of the final period, the Eagles came within three points of tieing up the game. The accurate ac-curate foul pitching of Jimmy Grant, who hit 13 out of 16, and Acel Muse, kept the Eagles in the ball game. The Cougars were not playing up to par as they missed numerous shots from the field. First Half Close The Longhorns really made a game out of it the first half as they matched point for point with the visiting Utes, with the half-time half-time score standing 15-14 for Uintah. Uin-tah. However, the Utes gradually pulled away from Altamont in the second half to win with a 20-point 20-point margin. Valoy Eaton with 16 was the top scorer, with Terry Anderson getting 11. For the Longhorns, David Hislop with 10 and Max Brotherson with 9 were the leading scorers. Union's "B" team won another, easy game from the baby Eagles at Duchesne. The final score was 60-32. Coach Arslanian's kids were just too much for a small and inexperienced Duchesne team. They have now won three against no losses in league play. Coach Bearden's "B" Longhorns came through with a thrilling and well-deserved win over the Papooses Pa-pooses from Vernal. The final score was 37-35 for the Altamont team.
