Show oo pt HIGHLANDER Victory- Hungry Cagers — Test Logan Tonight Bonneville’s Dennis Poppinga (No. 44)) leap to stop him. grabs a rebound as Stan Shaub Lakers Down BL 70-53 The Bonneville Lakers came onto Ben Lomond’s court Friday night with the confidence of state champions, but when the final gun sounded, they knew they'd fought the battle of their lives. The Lakers, pushed all over the floor by a spirited bunch of Scots, finally downed Ben Lomond by a 70-53 count. The Scots unveiled a full-court press that completely stifled the unwary Lakers for most of the game. Scrappy guards Rick Younger and Stan Shaub led the way by scoring on several dazzling fast breaks to give the Scots a 17-12 first quarter advantage. Bonneville’s superior height and strength on the boards came on strong, however, from ‘then on as they caught up with the upstart Scots. The score see-sawed back and forth in the second quarter, with some hot shooting by Lee Cassity to keep Ben Lomond in range. At intermission, the score read 36-all. Foul trouble plagued the Scotties throughout the contest, however, and in the second half it killed them. Big Clyde Baker, held in check through most of the action by the sticky Ben Lomond press, dropped in several key foul shots to put the Lakers ahead for keeps late in the game.

A volleyball game between the alumni and the 17 Ben Lomond’s Scots, smarting from an opening night defeat at Bonneville’s hands, travel to Logan tonight to battle the Grizzlies. In the opening action against Bonneville last Friday, Ben Lomond showed that it has the tools to become a real Region I threat. The Scots surprised everybody with a press that was nothing short of spectacular, and the only difference in the score resulted from Bonneville’s overwhelming height advantage. Coach Don Shaw, when asked about his team’s performance, indicated that he was more than pleased. Said Shaw, “We could have beaten Bonneville except for some foul trouble early in the game. It was much closer than the score indicated.” The Scots should have an easier time of it tonight against Logan. The Grizzlies haven’t jelled into a team yet, and they lack both height and speed. Their performance against Box Elder last week showed their weaknesses. They played ragged ball and simply could not hit the basket. Logan does have two fine cagers, however, in Craig Smith and Dave Shipp. Smith, an all-stater in football, is big and tough on the boards, and he can shoot, too. Shipp joins Smith as co-captain of the Logan team. Ben Lomond, on the other hand, fields a well-balanced crew, with every player capable of scoring. The key to the Scottie attack lies in speed and more speed. The Scots unveiled their pressing defense last week, and it showed surprising results. Coupled with the press is a devastating fast break led by speedy guards Rick Younger and Stan Shaub. Younger scored the Scotties’ first ten points against Bonneville, and he could do it again against Logan. Up front, center Lee Cassity is a dead-eye from anywhere inside the key. Forwards Gregg Taggart and Judd King join him to give the Scots strength on the boards. Ben Lomond shows something this year that it never had beCongratulations go to Jim fore, depth.
