State Basketball Many people said that if Hillcrest could just get post the first game against Olympus, they would hove on excellent chance to ploy the final game for the state title. With one win under their belts against the Titans in pre-season (Hillcrest 71 Olympus 55) Hillcrest hod con- fidence they could beat the much improved Olympus team again. With no time remaining in the game the score was tied sending the teams into overtime. At the end of overtime ploy it was tied again. With one second showing in double overtime, a jump-boll was called on Hillcrest's end of the floor. The boll ended up in the hands of on Olympus player who threw up on estimated sixty-five to seventy-foot desperation toss that miracu- lously caught nothing but net. Final score of one of the most exciting games of the tournament, Olympus 61 Hillcrest 59. When the Huskies met Ben Lomond it was quite a different story with Hillcrest ending up on top 64 to 54. Meeting Highland the Huskies fell short of a good Rom team by nine. Hillcrest Scores 61 Hillcrest 59 ....... Olympus Hillcrest 64 .. . .. .. Ben Lomond 54 71 .......

Seconds race with flying ice, purrs and spins of competition skaters, flying puck, clashing sticks ragged hard combat, the determination to try no matter what. The new creation: Hillcrest hockey team, a team of players not bench warmers, a team of spirit, a team of rock hard sport. They competed against some thirteen schools located in three different hockey districts, North, Central, and South. Games were held at Bountiful Ice Rena, Hygeia, and the Salt Palace. As a first year team the players pulled off a tough job; each new year proves better. The team ccon- sisted of three seniors, nine juniors, and two freshmen. This was the first year the goalie had ever been on skates. Marty Phelps rejoicing after a goal scored by the Huskies. Paul Taylor rejoicing after he scored a goal against Brighton.

Through grey and golden hours, up hills and down again, the team endured and fought with a force beyond known strengths. In victory they gloried; in defeat they rose again coordinating effort and building a name and place for themselves among the highest of mountains. And yet, dwelling in this crystal abode, they still dedicated themselves to the power of brotherhood, serving man at his best and at his worst. They are the true husky, the pure breed, the seeker of truth, the loyal spirit of Hillcrest. 104

leeAnn Powell shows skill in jumping hurdles . This year's track team consists of many girls competing in various areas such as field events, distance running, sprinting and jummping.

The rest of the time was spent using the long halls in the school as a track to build up speed and distance. LeeAnn Powell, Koryle Thornwall, lisa Holmes, work on starts during practice session. 107

With a perennially good team, Hillcrest Baseball got off to a slow start. With several games being rained or snowed out the first game wasn ' t played until March 31, breaking in their new uniforms by hold- ing Tooele to six runs . With some players participating in other sports and joining practice sessions a little late, the whole team practiced hard to reach the contention level that Coach Gust demands from his players. In American Legion play, some of last year's players will return to strengthen the Huskie team. Catcher Todd Vincent and Pitcher Craig Downs cement the Husky plan. 11 3
