i Hoop-Fever Hoop-Fever, the international basketball disease, hit Carbon High School with all its familiar symptoms, andthe heat didnt subside until the Dinos had finished an action-packed season of excitement and thrills. The Carbon cagers, led by Johnny Ellington, the highest scoring Class A player in Utah, and four other varsity members, experienced its most successful hoop season since 1960 when the Dinos went to state and placed third. In pre-season play the bombers from Dinoville put on an exhibition of sharp-shooting and speed. The Carbonites opened the season with a bang as they outscored the Pioneers from Lehi, 51-41, and continued their winning ways by scoring upsets at the expense of Grand Junction, 49-40, and Grand Junction Central, 85-36. With three victories and yet a defeat, the Dinos sneakeol past East Carbon, 61-55, and trounced Cortez, Colo., 77-44. to win the First Annual Moab invitational Basket- ball Tournament. Jumbo Ellington was crowned the most valuable player of the tourney. Big, hard rebounding Robby Jewkes was placed on the all-tourney team. With an undefeated season thus far, the CHS cagers optimistically traveled to Delta, Colo, to compete and win their second tournament of the year by defeating Cedar Edge, 64-43, and Delta, 68-66, Returning home full of confidence and with a second trophy, the hoop crazy Dinos prepared to do battle with Pleasant Grove High to end their preseason play. Over-confidence and bad breaks sent the undefeated Dinos down to winless Pleasant Grove five, 66-65. The Carbon High School Dinosaurs completed preseason play with a 7 win-1 lost record and prepared to face a sharp-shooting Spring- ville Red Devil squad. The result was a hard fought over-time with with the Dinos coming out on the short end of the score, 87-80, and Carbon went on to lose a run-away to the Provo Bulldogs, 64-43. With two region defeats the future looked dim until the running reptiles, led by Ellington, ran over Spanish Fork for their first region victory, but lost to the roaring Lions from Payson, 63-45. The Dinos, furious with their poor showing thus far, took their resentment out on the Tigers from Orem by trouncing them 63-55, to end the first round of Region V play. The second half of casaba battle looked as though it were going to be exactly as the first when the Carbon Dinos dropped tilts to Springville, 76-70, and Provo, 75-66. With only three games remaining, a three way tie for third place, and a shot at the Class A crown, the scene was set. Playing the role as the heroes, Carbon beat Spanish Fork, 77-67, and rolled past Payson, 56-40, thus holding third place in Region V and a possible berth in the state tournament. On to State was the cry as Carbon seemed to have a berth in the Class A play-off cinched. The Carbonites had but one game to play with last place Orem, but things be as they may in all sports, the Tigers played their best game of the season and forced the Dinos into a play-off with Payson, who beat Spanish Fork the same night to share third place with the Dinos. The crucial tilt being played at Spanish, a neutral court, found the Lions hitting the hoop from all over the court while the Dino's basket seemed to have a lid on it, Overcoming a 10 point half-time lead, the Dinos enioyed a momentary lead, but Payson held a slim margin to win 61-58, even though Paul Barton bombed the hoop for 25 points, the individual high for both teams. Coach Jack Woodward is looking forward with high hopes to next year's squad which will be led by Robby Jewkes and Ernie Benash, co-captains, Craig Curtis, outstanding J.V. player, and numerous sophs who will fill out the Dino roster. 69
