DECEMBER 21. 1978 The Sdntfy Post Sports and Recreation Reynolds gains tie with swimmers Tony Yap made up nearly 20 yards in the final leg of the boys 400-yard freestyle relay to overtake Hank Hazelett and let the Reynolds boys salvage a 78-78 tie with the Pioneers at the Sandy pool Tuesday. The Reynolds team was timed in a blazing 3:41.3 as Yap, a swimmer of national experience, gathered his third first place of the afternoon. The Sandy g irls team nipped Reynolds 80-72 despite placing second in the relay. The Reynolds girls won the 400-yard freestyle relay by 15 seconds in 4:24.79. Although they narrowly missed defeating the Reynolds boys, the tie had to be a satisfying one for the Pioneers. The Reynolds boys team has placed second in state the last two years and is strong again this year. “ It was an excellent meet for our boys team,” coach Mark Smith said. “ Reynolds is a very physically im pressive team and they are tough. “ It was one of the best dual meets we’ve been involved with in the last two seasons,” he added. Mike Zogg was the only winner for the Sandy boys who won the meet with their depth. Zogg captured first in the 200-meter individual medley with a 2:12.7 time ahead of Reynolds' Jeff Payne. Zogg also broke his pool record in the 100-yard breaststroke with a 1:06.3 clocking. His first-place time eclipsed the mark he set last week and is under the current district record. However, district records can only be broken in league meets. Huie Hazelett took two second places but broke districts marks in both races. Hazelett took second by an eyelash to Yap in the 200-yard freestyle in 1:49.81. Yap was timed 03 seconds faster, but according to Smith, Hazelett may have actually won the race. “ Both the Reynolds coach and I felt that Huie touched first but the meet judge ruled that Yap won,” Smith said. “ You have to go by the times.” Hazelett finished second to Yap in the 500-yard freestyle where he also broke the existing district mark. Hazelett was timed in 4:59.1, just three seconds behind Yap Several other Pioneers also recorded personal bests. David Ward had best times in the 200- yard freestyle in 2:16.2 and the 100-yard freestyle in 1:01.3. Hank Hazelett swam the 50-yard freestyle in 25.0 seconds and the 100- yard breaststroke in 1:11.2. David Falgout took second in the 100- yard fly with a 1:00 4 clocking. Bob Rathke swam his best 100-yard freestyle ever with a tim eof 56.7. Glenn Izer knocked more than four seconds off his best 500-yard freestyle time sprinting to a 5:35.5 mark. Mike Ward in the 100-yard backstroke (1:12.8) and Harvey Hazelett in the 100- yard breaststroke (1:21.9) also set personal bests. The Pioneer girls also used their depth to knock off the Reynolds squad but threw in a few first places along the way as well. Gayle Roth blazed to a first place in the 100-yard backstroke with a time of 1:10.92, nearly seven seconds in front of the second place finisher. Roth also recorded a personal best in the 200-yard individual medley where she finished second in 2:29.3. Bonita Connelly took two first places against Reynolds. Connelley won the 200-yard freestyle in 2:15.2 and the 100- yard freestyle 1:01.5. Jean Crane won the 500-yard freestyle in 6:18.7 while Barbie King made it a clean sweep in the freestyle races winning the 50 in 28 8. Several Sandy girls also set personal bests. Teresa Lamar swam the 200-yard freestyle in 2:27.0 and the 100-yard fre e sty le in 1:08.0. Cindy Zogg was clocked in 2:44.9 in the 200-yard individual medley Diane Rathke set personal bests in the freestyle sprints. She was timed in 29 9 in the 50 and she also picked up a best in the 100-yard breaststroke in 1:24.0. Darby Binder set a best mark in the 100-yard freestyle in 1 29 9 Lorinda Anderson also set a best time, clocking 7:14.8 in the 500-yard freestyle.

Although the Sandy girls finished second in the race, they defeated Reynolds 80-72 in a dual meet Tuesday at the Sandy pool. The boys team tied the powerful Reynolds team 78-78. The Reynolds boys had placed second in state the last two years. The Blue Marlin Aquatic Club defeated the Longview YMCA for the first time ever this weekend, beating the Washington club 1794-1784. The Marlins trailed the entire meet, finally winning in the last relay. Sandy won nearly every relay in the meet, a fact that coach Gary Hidle said was the key to the victory. Sandy had two trip le winners against Longview Matt Roth and Doug Crane both picked up three vic tories apiece. Shawn Burns, who was swimming with a bad knee, and Troy Hilstad picked up two victories apiece. Single winners for the Marlins were Rachel Carlile, Steve Grable, Terri Hanson.

Hoopers corner Dallas to even league record by MARK FLOYD When the Sandy High boys basketball team goes into its four-comer offense, the object is usually to pass the ball, create some movement, draw the defense out of its zone and get some easy shots. Rick Caudillo fouled Riley and the ball bounced around and dropped through. Riley missed the free throw but Tim Marjama scooped up a loose ball moments later and hit a 12-foot jumper from his wing position moments later to give the Pioneers a 36-30 lead. Against Dallas Tuesday night, the four-corner did just that — and probably saved the game for the Pioneers Sandy came from behind in the third quarter to post a 56-50 victory over Dallas and even its league record at j-1. The Pioneers lost 73-54 Friday night at Forest Grove. The Pioneer string continued Paul Daugherty scored off an offense rebound and Curtis picked up two free throws the same way and suddenly Sandy was up 40-30 after scoring 14 straight points. Sandy coach Dennis Warren was pleased with his team's second half explosion Sandy trailed the Dragons early in the th ird period 30-26, but the deficit didn’t last long Tom Curtis fired a brick off the back- board but picked up his own rebound and was hammered by Dallas 6-foot-3 center Dan Gilchrist, his fourth foul Curtis sank two free throws to draw Sandy to within two and then junior forward Mike Riley hit a pair of six-foot jim p shots to give the Pioneers their first lead of the ball game Then Riley and Kevin Peterson combined on a steal with Riley going up for an attempted stuff shot. Dallas' » • in the first half our board work was a little lax,” Warren said “ But in the second half we did a pretty decent job "Paul Daugherty flat did a good job on the boards,” he said The game statistics bear Warren out. Daugherty picked off a game-high 11 rebounds, including nine in the final quarter Nevertheless, Dallas crept back into the game After the Pioneers had built their biggest margin of the contest, 44- 32, Dallas came back to score five straight points. Once again. Sandy went into its four- comer offense to slow things down. Caudillo fouled Alan Lowe who was directing tra ffic near midcourt and the junior guard sank a pair of free throws to give Sandy a 46-37 lead. After Gilchrist hit a short hook shot, Sandy went back into its cat-and-mouse tactics again. This time Riley found himself open, drove the baseline and went up for a hanging jump shot. The shot missed, but Riley was fouled by Brian Brown and sank both free throws. The two teams traded baskets before Dallas made one last run at the Pioneers. Roger Thiesies drove the key and scooped up an underhanded shot through a host of Pioneers and less than a minute later Brown picked up two more off the offensive boards to bring the Dragons to within three, 51-48 The Dragons put a full court press on and forced the Pioneers to throw the ball away. Dallas coach Dennis Newton then ordered his team to call a timeout for a strategy session It backfired. Caudillo drove the key but dribMed the ball off his leg and the Pioneers had the four-comer on once again. Marjama and Daugherty played catch with each other for several seconds before Dallas could call timeout after a tipped ball. This time the discussion was how to break up the four-corner. Dallas chose the wrong way. With less than 40 seconds showing on the clock, M arjam a drove up the middle and was fouled by Brown. He calmly sank both free throws- to give the Pioneers a 53-48 edge Brown redeemed himself by scoring moments later on an offensive rebound, but Caudillo fouled Daugherty on the ensuing press that Dallas put on and Daugherty's free throw with 18 seconds left clinched the game Sandy got a little icing on the cake when Marjama picked up a loose rebound and fed Riley who slipped it in for his 24th point of the night, giving Sandy the 56-50 victory. “ We had a much more concentrated effort Tuesday night,” Warren said ‘‘We had our head in the game a little more than against Forest Grove “ It was not an artistic win by any means," Warren added, “ but any win in this game is a good win. ” Riley led the game with 24 points The 6-3 wing man hit 11 of 19 shots and picked off seven rebounds Daugherty led all rebounders with 11. Sandy shot only 34 percent for the game, 21-61 and converted on 12 of 19 free throws, a 63 percent clip, but the Pioneers hit the big shots when they needed them. “ We controlled the tempo when we needed to do it and we stayed out of foul trouble,” assistant coach Bob Key said. “ I was pleased with the way everybody played ” Warren echoed Key's comments and cited the Forest Grove game for con trast “ I ’m really proud of the kids for the type of turnaround that we had,” Warren said. “ It takes a lot of pride and intestinal fortitude to come back and play that well after Forest Grove.” The Forest Grove game was one that Warren would just as soon forget “ Teams are going to have games where they don't perform but that was a disaster.” he said. “ Everything we did was wrong “ We couldn't get untracked, plus Forest Grove was playing one of its better games according to their coach,’ ’ Warren added The Vikings jumped out to an early lead against Sandy and controlled the entire game, coasting to a 73-54 victory at the Forest Grove gym Sandy cut the lead to eight in the third quarter but Forest Grove regained the tempo and was never headed SANDY — 5« Mike Riley 24.
