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.
Marlins nip Longview
TERESA LAMER prepares to spring off the platform as Diane Rathke
finishes her leg of the girls 400-yard freestyle relay. 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.
Matt Woodfield, Kim Han
son, and Noelle Patton.
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
