The Fresh- men finished the season 3rd in re- gion, having successfully won every team, excluding Hill- crest, at least one time! High points of the season in- cluded their highest score, which was 72 against Bingham. Another high point occurred when the team played Brigh- ton. With 6 seconds remaining, Brighton shot the ball, sinking it. To Brighton's dismay one of their players called a time out just before the shot, making the basket invalid, allowing Alta to win. In a game against Hillcrest, an Alta player was running alongside an opposing player and the player reached in, knocking him out of bounds. The refree called an offensive foul against Alta! Coach Dustin was infuriated and ended up re- ceiving a technical for being in the center of the court telling the referee he had “an imagina- tion good enough to write for Walt Disney.” “This season was a some- what disappointing one.” said Coach Haslip. The entire sopho- more basketball team was split into two groups with the more experienced players placed on the Junior Varsity team. Todd Templeton. Troy Hymas, Chris Saunders, and Krooker Hal- sey's promotion to J.V. deplet- ed the ranks of the sophomore team. The team did well if they were ahead. However, if they fell behind they often had some trouble catching up,” com- mented Coach Haslip. The best game of the season was against Brighton. The team played well and led by at least ten points throughout the game. To top it off, it was the first time Brighton's sopho- mores had been defeated for two years. The most improved player was Kurt Hogge and did much to boost the morale of the entire team. 176
