Show VARSITY BASKETBALL Utes Win Tournaments With Pre-Season Play The greatest surprise of the year was the basketball team; “I though they would win only two” “They'll be lucky to beat three teams.” ‘Basketball, Are you kidding?” The team silenced critics with powerful pre-season play. The Utes pressed, passed and powered their way to an impressive 6-1 record. Under new coach Gary Weight, They entered the Basin Tournament determined to revenge the humijiation of last year. They pounded Altomont 68-50 and then humiliated Union 68-45 to capture the tournament trophy. The Box Elder tourney has always been a sore spot for Ute teams, unable to compete in the 4-A ai meet. This years team lost the first game only to come back and stomp South Fremont Idaho, 72-56. On Sat. the Utes took on Tooele. A last second shot gave the team the consolation championship. It was fun again to watch basketball. The Ute game featured hard pressing guards. Coach Weight and Redd emphasized defense and controlling the game. It was almost impossible to believe this was the same team as last year. Weight, working to eliminate errors shouted, “Your biggest enemy is yourself!’’ The team had enemies as they earned the respect and prasie of the fans for fine plau, hustle and a respectable brand of basketball. —_ Play maker Randy | <olBS.
