RYIMG, TIMES FOR HOOPSTERS for the varsity basketball team early in De cember with sev- eral very close wins and. unfor- tunately. losses. The season started off on the road with suc- cessful results: our Hawks cap- tured first place at the Elko Tournament with fairly little competition. Upon their return home from their fabulous three day tour of Elko, Nevada, the guys lost their first game: a four point game, to Jordan. The Hawks then proceeded to trample Sky View by one point. Our second loss was to Provo by twelve points—if you’re going to lose, there is not much sense in drag- gin' it out. But the Hawks came soaring back a week later dur- ing the last pre-season game to destroy Mountain Crest by nearly doubling the Mustang’s score. At the end of the pre- season play, our team had a record of two and two. So much for the pre-sea- son—the regular season start- ed off with a loss to the surpris- ing West Jordan Jaguars. No one expected the Jaguars to be so tough because they were a fairly short team. The Hawks came into their next game look- ing for a win; and, as usual the Kearns Cougars obliged. The next game attracted a very small crowd at Taylorsville, but the Hawks gave those who came a good show. The team played their best team game of the season against the Warriors and it paid off with a thirteen- point victory over Taylorsville.

As the season drew to a close, the Hawks only needed two more victories to go to the state playoffs. With many dis- appointing losses during the year, state was in question. But for friends and family of the team members, this had been a year of supporting the team in good times and in bad. During the year, this year s junior varsity squad didn't have as many close wins and losses as the varsity, but they did have some very exciting ■ he Bingham Miners, one of the top ten BIB teams in the state, lived up to their standing and won, over the Hawks by nine points, in a very low-scoring, slow paced, stall game. There were a total of seventy-nine points scored during the entire game. Going into their next game, the Hawks knew they had their work cut out for them. They rose to the occasion to play ' spoiler'’ to the Hillcrest Hus- kies, another one of the top-ten teams in the state, by beating them by six points. It was a narrow, yet nevertheless a deci w st Jordan's 20 tries unsuccessfully to block Troy sive victory that was helped by 1-009 s in a 9ame that went in o triple overtime, the fact that everyone who played, scored.
