Barely make state, end up fifth 1 SV's reorganized starting lineup faced Skyline, the 1977 State Champions, in the consolation game at state. Robbie Nielson led the Bobcats to an eight point 30-22 halftime lead until the fourth quarter when the cold shooting Bobcats allowed the Eagles to tie the score and send the game into overtime. Skyline gained a 3 point lead in the overtime, when an Eagle player fouled Robbie Nielson on his jump-shot, letting him complete a three point play to tie the score and send the game into a second overtime. Bruce Quayle, labeled the darkhouse of the tournament, along with Nielson stole the ball to make crucial buckets making an eight point lead, 68-60 winning the fifth place trophy. Sky View, considered to be the last ranked team in the tournament, faced an opener against Bingham, the top rated state team. Although trailing the whole game, SV closed the gap to one point, playing the Miners as well as any other state team. After the loss, SV dropped into the consolation bracket to meet Region ll fourth place team, Hillcrest. The Bobcats built up a nine point lead in the third quarter and continued the lead to an easy win.

Confident because of two previous wins over the Bobcats, Clearfield opened up an early six point lead. SV, wanting to place in the tournament and also wanting to beat the only region foe unbeaten by them, fought back to a two point halftime deficit. Bruce Ouayle, coming off the bench to replace Sherman Kirk with four fouls, hit four key buckets to give SV the lead. Quayle scored 14 points in the third and fourth quarters to lead the Bobcats to a 60-59 victory.

Enthusiastic youth thought up a game to unwind, Buck-Buck, Bobcats lined up while rival team members jumped on their backs, seeing how many could pile on and how long the riders could stay atop the bent backs, and Buck-Buck was born. Juniors on the Aurora and Catonian staffs spent spring vacation in San Diego, California, at a regional journalism convention. ln a competition with 800 journalists, Sally Thomas won 'honorable mention' in the new layout and design category. CB's aided communication between Box Elder's Honey Wagon and SV's Bobcat Carrier filled with Charlie's Angels, Chuck's Chicks and the Blonde Streak for the seventeen hour ride. At the Aurora, Catonian and Catalyst's Publication Banquet, the 'doorknobf 'walking tall' and 'hot stuff' awards symbolized the year's events. When Principal Hansen arrived late after his truck stalled, he was handed a note with words long ago memorized by the late comers to the attendance office. It read, Car trouble is no excuse for being late. 3 With pleasure in mind, the Front Porch journies to Rexburg, Idaho, to perform for Ricks College and surrounding schools.

gained the only first place in Region I competition. Rod Housley, injured by an illegal slam chose to complete his match, giving up an automatic win. He, being behind in points, lost the match and gave the Viewmont wrestler a chance to enter the state tournament. Rod's action, however, brought the Sportsmanship trophy for the Region meet to SV. Dominating with 167 points, the Sophomore Wrestling squad won the Region I meet. They captured seven of the twelve weight divisions, ending the sophomore season. Second time for trophy Representing the Region I Law Enforcement officials, Sheriff Darrius Carrter presented a second time a special sportsmanship trophy. Fewer fights, less booing, and more 'peace' among teams, players, fans and officials determined the winner of the Region I Law Enforcement Officials Sportsmanship Trophy. Winning the trophy-for football and again for the basketball, brought the largest trophy awarded close to remaining at SV, since the rule stated that the award must be won three consecutive times before it can permanantly remain at a school.

A special post season game edged the girls into a Region 4th place and gave them a State Tournament birth. In their first state matchup, Sky View couldn't produce points against the taller and quicker Skyline Eagles, The Bobcats, held to one point in first quarter, allowed the Eagles to beat them by 40 points. In the second game, the girls produced a win by pressing the poor 'ball-handlers' of Granite. Kayleen Neeley's 20, Marcia Whiting's 14 and Darci Anderson's 10 points led the Bobcats to a 51-39 point win. A loss to West in the third game ended their chance in the double elimination Girls' State Basketball Tournament. Follow Up 9
