By Dean Von Memmott

Timp Sports Weekly Publisher

In Region Seven girls' basketball action at Lehi Jan. 28, the Mountain View Bruins, AKA the Teddy Bears, T-Bears for short, clawed the Lehi Pioneers, AKA Froggies 70-43.

Led by Ashleigh Warner and Shanna Halalile, the Teddy Bears outscored the Froggies 23-9 in the first quarter. Its ending turned out to be a reliable sign of what the night held for Lehi. By the time game would end, the Pioneers would have nothing to croak about.

As Lehi got outscored 18-9 in the second period, questions arose as to whether the Pioneers would have any teammate hit in double figures in the second half. The answer turned out to be yes. While Warner joined sisters Shanan and Syanne Halalile in keeping the T-Bears ahead by at least 20 points. As soon as a Mika Pinner bucket at improved the Teddy Bears' lead at 53-23, Trisha Quilter scored five straight unanswered points to open a 7-0 scoring run for the Froggies. After Pioneer Whitney Cook hit two foul shots, the third period ended with Warner sinking a trey.

Quilter stayed hot in the fourth quarter. Quilter's shooting helped the Froggies to outscore the Teddy Bears 10-5 during the last period's opening four minutes. Quilter's racking up 12 points in the Jan. 28 game made her Leh's top scorer with 12 points. Teammate, Aerin Ogdem, meanwhile, went 8-8 at the line and sank a field goal to provide another 10 points for the Froggies.

Lindsay Ezola and Shyanne Halalile's domination of the boards enabled the Teddy Bears to stave off any credible comeback attempt staged by Lehi.

After two Kenzie Arviso foul shots had put the Froggies within 64-40, Kelthzie Oldham hit a layup that opened a 9-3 scoring run for the Teddy Bears.

Warner led the Teddy Bears with 15 points while Shanna Halailile added another 13.

The Lehi girls' basketball team was not the only squad that wanted to forget the Region Four varsity double header played at Lehi Jan. 28. So did the Mountain View Bruin boys' squad. It got flooded out 73-25 by the Pioneers, AKA the Froggies.

The first period showed what an unhappy -- or as they say in Lehi unhoppy -- night the 28th would be for the Bruins, AKA the Teddy Bears and T-Bears. Even though the game opened with Teddy Bear Zack "Wack" Oldham getting the tipoff, the T-Bears missed a shot, which the Froggies rebounded. Lehi took a shots from Ryan Christofferson and Ryan Pittward gave Lehi a 4-0 lead. Teddy BearRyan a 4-2 lead. A Dusty Drager jumper opened a 6-0 scoring run for the Froggies. Jump shots from Kalin Currann opened a 6-0 lead attack on the T-Bear lead. As Draeger jump shot put the lead at 12-2. Mountain View went on a 5-0 that put the Teddy Bears within 18-7.

In the second period, Colt Colledge quickly emerged as Lehi's top shooter and rebounder. He constantly pulled down boards and sank shots finside the key. He often bested Teddy Bears lDallin Scholfield and Ryan Schofield in fights for rebounds in the second period. In the early second quarter, Ryan Hall launched a trey that started a 5-4 scoring run for the Teddy Bears. Shots from Pittard and Brad "Mr." McGregor allowed Lehi to stay up by at least 10 points. By the end of the first half, Lehi commanded a 38-19 lead.

The first four minutes of the second half saw the Teddy Bears lose all remaining hope of rallying back. Within the third quarter's opening minute, Stanley hit an inside shot that set an 18-2 scoring run for the Froggies. Draeger, Colledge, and Isaiah Williams shocked the Teddy Bears with amazingly accurate shots. At the same time, Lehi's defense became rally tight, holding the T-Bears to eight points during the entire second half. Once Williams put the score at 56-23 midway through the third period, Lehi students knew that they didn't have to worry any further about a home loss spoiling their stag dance, which would be centered around music of the '70's and '80's.

The Froggies' huge lead allowed Lehi second-stringers K.J. Griffth, Blake Cleveringa, Tanner, Pittard, and Gavin Rasmuusen to receive much playing time.

Lehi Coach Craig Gladwell said, "We played pretty good defense tonighty. Curran and Schofield are Mountain View's two best shooters. We did a great job in guarding them. We played our best game of the season tonight. Our passing, screening, and shooting were better tonight than in other games. Tonight gives us a tighter hold on second place in the region. Timpview is the only school that has beaten us in region play.

"We're going to play Provo this Tuesday, and believe it or not, they're last place in region. Because we spanked them so badly at their place, we expect them to come here fired up to play us."

Colledge led :Lehi with 18 points while Stanley added another 15. The Teddy Bears' top scorer, Curran racked up 10 points while Hull added another nine.

This marked a second winter in a row that the Froggies had taken region in both the girls and boys' competitions. Such a feat didn't come as much as a surprise. Lehi Coach Dennis Meyering has built up such a large program that he has been able to coach his swimmers to several league championships in the past 10 years.

Trevor took region in the boys' 200-yard freestyle relay and 100-yard backstroke. Sammy won the champioinship medal for the boys' 200-yard individual medley and 100-yard breaststroke.

Trevor said, "I've been doing the 200 free for the past two years. I picked up a lot of experience of doing it through competing for HAST [a swim club based in American Fork]. I dropped my time a lot at the Thanksgiving Invitational in Bountiful. Now that I've posted my best time at region, I want to finish two seconds quicker at state."

Tanner Frandsen and Braedon Hegemann finished first and second respectively in the boys' 50-yard freestyle. Frandsen also finished first in the boys' 100-yard butterfly. Hegemann won the boys' 100-yard freestyle.

The Lehi team of Rachel Hansen, Lindsay Smith, Hannah Hansen, and Bailey Tuttle won the girls' 200-yard freestyle relay. It turned out to be the only girls' relay that Lehi won. The Froggies won all three of the boys' relays.

Rachel Hansen became the first Froggie to win a girls' championship. She tied Lizzie Merrill for first in the girls' 50-yard freestyle. Rachel's younger sister, Hannah, won the girls' 100-yard butterfly and breastroke. Hannah said, "In winning the butterfly at this meet, I set a new personal record of 1:04.54. My old personal record as 1:04.94. This is the first year I've done the butterfly. I raced in the breaststroke dozens of time."

Meyering said, "The guys and girls had worked hard for the championships. They earned them; they deserved them."

A Becky Clement shot put the Ferocious Vikings onto the scoreboard, and they rowed their way back within 12-11 on shots from Marci Johnson, Danyele "Panther" Hoffman, and Marci Johnson. Before Pleasant Grove could swipe the lead from the Loners, Maddie "The Wrath" McGrath scored on an offensive rebound, and Lauren La Frandt, a sister of former Awesome American Fork Caveman Scotty La Frandt, nailed an inside shot that tightened the Loners' hold on the lead. The period ended with McGarth swishing in layup.

We're now 5-0 in region. We're really the same team that we were last year. Whitney and Marquelle were quite a combination tonight in scoring and boarding. They're two of the best players on the court."

Suddenly, Ferocious Viking Becky Clement hit an inside shot, and a Britney Johnson three-pointer tipped Pleasant Grove ahead 5-4.

The next three matches ended in pins scored by Ferocious Vikings Dusty "High Strung" Young, Quinn "Cardinal Sin" Neilson, and Jesse "Outlaw" Christensen.

The Awesome Cavewomen's flat performance in the third period gave the Ferocious Vikings the break that they needed.

Hoffman paced it by frequently stealing the ball and sinking layups. Hoffman also made assists to Janae Olson and Britney Johnson.

For a little while, American Fork managed to maintain its double-digit lead. However, the Ferocious Vikings kept slicing away at it. By the late third period, Pleasant Grove had pulled within 49-42. Awesome Cavewoman Sadie Williams hit an inside shot in hopes of spurring her team into stretching its lead back into double figures.
