The Dixie team, coached by Neil Roberts over the period of five years, seven and three in favor of Dixie. That pretty well completes the pregame show. We'll be back with the starting lineups and more activity after this back at the Dixie College gymnasium. The starting lineup being introduced, of course. Paul Gardner, 63 freshman from Provo High School. He definitely comes out of a winning program. Mark Matthews, a 65 sophomore, native of Idaho. Matthews, young man from Rexburg, Idaho, homegrown sort. Up front will be Jeff Schofield, 6 8, freshman out of Clearfield High School. Jeff Anderson, a 6' 6 sophomore out of Skyline High School. And Ken Cragan, 6 foot 8 inch sophomore out of San Jose, California. Cragan, one of the tough ballplayers, helped give Rick the one point victory in overtime three years ago in Rexburg. And so it's going to be a Dandy Dixie vs. Rex now for Dixie College. Maxwell and Sean Anderson starting in the backcourt. Up front, Rich Gramillion, Wes Hymas and Dan Bell.

Cragan and Gramillion to jump at center court. Coach Ronnie Vagland of Snow Colle, along with his assistant. Tomorrow night, Ricks has to go to Ephraim to take on the Badgers.

Also off the bench, Brian Fink picked up a basket for two, has a couple of personal fouls among the starters. Paul Gardner started, did not say all that much action and did not score. Brad Gardner came off the bench, I should say, and came up with three baskets for six points. So actually the bench has been more productive than the starting lineup. Mark Matthews, starting to guard, picked up a basket for two. Jeff Schofield, starting up front, missed his only two free throws, has not scored in the game. Ken Cragan got foul trouble late in the first half as he picked up his third personal foul. Three field goals, 2 for 2 from the free throw line, a total of eight points for Ken Cragan.

They're still not out of the woods Yet Byron Vitoy and Sean Anderson celebrating along the sideline. But you have another second to go before you can celebrate Neil Roberts. There is a basketball. The game ball has been taken someplace. It's in the fan, it's among the fans. Someplace there is a basketball that is missing and that's what the coaches are worried about right now. Somebody took the basketball and it is missing. Steve Hodgson comes up with the basketball, hands it to the officials. The officials take a look at the basketball, check it out. It's not the game ball, but it will do. Somebody, somebody in the crowd has the basketball and trying to pick up a souvenir which is not, not what you call the all time great move. One of the all time. How can we say Schlock moves to swipe the game ball. Dixie one second away from picking up a 7775 victory and giving Ricks College their first loss of the year. Ricks College as tough a ball club as the Vikings have ever had. Another timeout called. One second left with 77:75. Dixie out in front. Let's chance it, take a quick 30 second break and be right back. Now unless you own a hospital or a bank or a both, you'd better stay very healthy.

Robert Maxwell deflecting the ball, getting a steal, getting it to Wes Jaime who got the basket and then to miss the free throw. Then Maxwell coming back and really climbing all over Paul Gardner surprised he was not called with a foul. The ball deflected and touched last by Ricks College and Dixie ties the ball game. 7:77, 75. Now one second left. Rich Gramillion trying to get problems on the inbounds.

Ricks and Dixie Shaking hands at mid court and good, good sportsmanship shown on each side but a lot of grins on the Dixie side of the floor. 77 to 75 Two point victory for Dixie. John Bakken the hero with a 1 second jump shot from 20ft out to give Dixie their win. Number 10 of the year, first conference victory. Ricks with their first loss in 18 games will go 171 now and if they are not spent too much we'll have to come back and try to win at snow tomorrow night. And that is no mean feat. That pretty well completes the play by play broadcast. I'm not sure if we'll be able to get coach Neil Roberts up for the post game show. I kind of doubt it because he looks like he's going to be mobbed by fans. But we and we'll be back and take a look at the final scoring totals with the post game show. Final score Dixby 77, Rick Stollich 75. Stay tuned. Dixie College basketball has been brought to you by Olson Levitt Insurance Agency, Price to office and Music Supply, Chuck's Auto, Bradshaw Ford Lincoln Mercury and snows of St. George. Stay tuned for the postgame show. Coming up, It's time now for the post game show. The postgame show is brought to you by your local Hearst Ben Franklin Ace hardware store in St. George in Hurricane. And now once again with the details on the game just played, once again, here's your sportscaster Larry Jewell. It's been one of those nights. I don't know if you think of premonitions at all, but in the preparation for this ball game, the entire night before I ever went on the air, it's been the same sort of thing. Everything going a little bit bananas, some problems, some struggles all night. Then all of a sudden at the last, last second things coming together and that's the way the Dixie College victory went. Struggling difficult all night and then all of a sudden at the last section, last moment, things came together. I see a basketball being carried off the floor. I'm not sure if that was the game ball or not. Apparently it was. Somebody in the stands had swiped the game ball. Not a very sharp move at all. Definitely not a sharp move, but apparently they've turned it back. Ricks College going down to a heartbreaking defeat, 77 to 75 and it was a tough call. Two times. Robert Maxwell forced the turnover, once coming up with a steal. Rick College not really protesting a whole bunch because Maxwell knocked the ball away, then came up with his deal. But the second time Max Maxwell all over the offensive guard but still came up with a steal. It was deflected out of bounds off the hands, last touch by Ricks College. I was screened out. It looked like it was touched by Dixie, but the official standing right there said no, it was touched by Ricks College and it was out of bounds to Dixie. Dixie clawing their way back from a five point deficit 74 to 69 to outscore Ricks College eight to one. Coming down the wire but the height John Bauckham. Baucom hitting the 20 foot jump shot from the left angle as Dixie overplayed the zone, passed the ball quickly to the left side. Bauckham was all alone at 20 and drilled a shot and that's the type of pressure shooting Dixie's been looking for all year and has not been able to get all that much of. But tonight, John BAUCOM the Hero 77 to 75. He'll be back in just 30 seconds and take a look at the final scoring total. Chuck's Auto the place to go and the people to know. Hurst, Ben Franklin, Ace Hardware. Can you believe it? It's spring already. If you don't believe me, drop in at Hearst, your friendly Ace hardware store and watch it turn spring. Paint, fertilizer, garden tools and of course sprinkling systems. Everything a do it yourself or a professional might need to do the job. Ace is the place with a helpful hardware man. See Hurst first in St. George and Hurricane for know how price and quality. Back at the Dixie College gymnasium, a lot of excitement, a lot of outstanding play on both sides. Pressure. Young man coming down the wire. Jeff Anderson missed his final free throw but that didn't make the difference right there. Anderson is the man who brought Ricks College back into the game after Dixie College had taken as much as an eight point lead, an eight point lead at one time for Dixie College. Ricks College came back and got as wide a margin as they have ever had in the game. Five points with just about two minutes left in a game 74 to 69. And then Robert Maxwell with a pressure defense almost picking up the foul on a couple of occasions. Extremely tough. Robert Maxwell coming back with the two steals, forcing the two turnovers. Dixie College capitalizing, Maxwell getting the steal, getting the pass to Wes. Jaime and Jaime brought the basketball back within one, brought the came back within one on his jump shot, then missed the free throw. Dixie then came back able to get the tie at 75 and somehow able to get the basketball. And John Bauckham coming up with a 20 foot jump shot to make it 77, defend 75. The final score, Ricks now go 17 and one on the year in what has to be a heartbreaking loss in. Gary Gardner comes to the sidelines with a smile on his face, A smile mixed with a few tears coming. And looking at some of the former ballplayers, apparently, one of which has got a young little one with him. Steve Hodgson coming up. Steve, Neil might be up, you say? Yeah, he might be. I don't know if he's got any voice left. Tell you the truth. Larry, we're happy to get it over. Robert Maxwell a couple of times pressuring the defense. Second time, looked like he got the foul, but didn't call it. Robert Maxwell's an excellent freshman guard. He's probably as good a guard as we've had here in a while. It's just that, you know, he's a freshman. It's taking him a while to settle in. But he got two of the biggest steals we'll ever have. That first steal, knocked it away, then got the pass to Hyman. Yeah, what he did was he just timed Paul Gardner. Paul Gardner tried to take it behind his back to change direction. And Max, he just timed it so that as soon as he started to go behind, Max came behind, knocked it loose, went and got the ball and just made a great pass. The technical foul on the slam dunk, it looked like everything was over at that point. Rich was able to take it out to a five point ball game. Yeah, we could have quit right there. You know, we've heard a little bit around town, we've heard a little bit around our team that this team doesn't have a lot of heart. Well, I think we showed a lot of heart tonight. We missed five free throws. We missed a slam dunk. We get down, you know, five points. But we battled it, we battled it back. John Bauckham, super shot. Excellent. You know, Johnny, Johnny hit a bigger shot. Probably the bigger shot than that was when we were down one and he. Well, in fact, we were down two. He shoots it, misses, goes to the dotted line like he's supposed to do. Gets the ball, sticks it back hole, gets us to even. It's a lot easier to shoot even than two down. Now, John Bauckham, that was the type of shooting, the pressure shooting you've been looking for all year out of this thing. Yeah, and I think we got that out of a few players tonight. I think Shawn Anderson gave it to us. The start of the second half, we needed to get off to a good start. And he comes out and gets us three straight buckets. A lot of outside jumpers. We've got to shoot the ball well outside to open it up inside. Anderson battled it. It was not shooting that well the first half, but battled it, got the shot. No, it's good to see. A lot of times the shooter, you know, goes 1 for 7 the first half and he'll fold up 10, quit taking the jumper. It was nice to see Sean didn't do that. He came out in the first two times he touches the ball. One he takes to the hole, and the other he pulls up from 18, shoots a jumper. Rich Gramillion got it battled around a little bit underneath. That's a lot of tall timber upstairs. Eye to eye with Rich. Rich Gramillion had one of the best ball games that he's had for us. You know, they're 6, 8, 6, 8, 6, 6. And they fly. I mean, they are some leapers. They're not just six, eight, you know, skinny kids. They are players. And, you know, consequently, you've got a block off the boards. And he did that for us tonight. This is as fine a Rick's team as I've seen since I've been here. This is as good a shooting basketball team as I have seen in a junior college situation. They could put eight, nine people out on the floor. They just flat knock it in. And. And we've said that about our scouting report. Everything else said. Ricks is a fine shooting team, and they are. Jeff Anderson, a super comeback for Ricks tonight. Did the job in the second half for him. He's just an excellent player. He's major college all the way. He's major, major college. He steps out to 22ft and will shoot your eyes out. You had to go to the block, post up big and take you inside. He's a great player. We thought he was the best player in the conference. I think he proved that tonight. Anderson and Ensign, the same mission. And Anderson's starting to walk a little like ENS now. Yeah, you can walk like that when you're that good, I guess. Larry, I don't know. He's an excellent player and, you know, they've got guys that compliment him. He gets a lot of good picks, comes off, shoots it. Well, what about this team? They're excited. That's obvious. Do you think they proved something to themselves tonight? I think they did. We went to California and frankly, did not play well. We played one out of three games. Well, the El Camino game, we were embarrassed. We played a great team in El Camino, but we were embarrassed by El Camino. They're a great team and we had to find out how good we were and I think we had some self doubt in ourselves and I think hopefully we're over the hump. This is a rough road trip for any team. Ricks has to come down, play Dixie, then has to turn around and play Snow. And the snow coaching staff here watching. Yeah, they, it's a hard trip. You know, both Dixie College and Snow are physical teams. You know, they'll bump you, they'll bang you and they'll beat you up and you know, that's a tough trip any way you look at it. We've got a tough one next week. Larry. CEU and CNCC are improved and they're a much better team than what they've been in the past. CNCC has surprised a few people. CEU much better. Oh yeah, they beat cncc, has beat Utah Tech in a tournament and they've beat College Eastern Utah in a tournament. They had a few players from Arizona Western transfer down that were freshmen last year who have transferred to CNCC and they made them a good basketball team. Ceu, we saw them in the Valley of the Sun Classic. Coach Roberts is going to College of Southern Idaho on Monday to scout ceu. I'm going to Utah Tech on Monday to scout them. This is what happens between games. This is what happens between games. While I'm at Utah Tech, we're going to look at a couple players at Timview High School and Provo High School and a few places because unfortunately, you know, every year in JCU got to replace players and we're only going to have three or four back. This is. I see Neil starting to make his way along the floor there with a smile on his face and obviously exhausted. This is an emotional experience for coaches. I tell you, you get down for with a minute and forty seconds, you find how emotional it is. You know, you put your heart and your soul into the kids. And we've been going since October 1st, you know, we've been going a long time and you get in a game where it really, really matters and you've got to win and to see your kids fall behind and then just turn around and pull it out and win a big ball game for them, you know, you just got to be emotionally drained and happy for them. Maxwell just stepped up, up, hit the basket in that first half, just drilled it. Well, Maxwell's a fine shooter. We found that about Monday or Tuesday that he wasn't driving his Legs through the ball. He was just happy to just stand and shoot it. So we got him jumping through the ball and I think it's helped him. He's gained confidence in it more than anything else. I think he's gained confidence that if he drives his legs through the ball, it's going to go in the hole. And, you know, shooting is confidence. That's all there is to it. You see Ricks, they don't hesitate. They pull it up and shoot. Robert Maxwell's been a good player for us. He's been a little up and down, but all freshmen are excitement, just total excitement. This crowd tense from the first tap. Well, yeah, there's. You saw it in both teams. I mean, we go to the 17 minute mark and it's two to nothing. Dan Bell doesn't miss layups. He blows the layup for us. You know, they're big kids inside. They don't miss shots inside. You know, they have a great shooter in Matthews and he did. He didn't shoot the ball the way he's capable. I think he was just nerves with him. Steve, thank you. Appreciate it. Well, let's talk to the head coach here, Neil Roberts. Coach, no offense, but you looked a little drained tonight. Well, did you have a short interview? Now you're getting to the long interview. Let me make some comments about. Yes, I think everyone here realizes Rich is a fine basketball team, but let's give some credit to our crew as well. We had some people that really went out and played and, you know, it's hard to single them out. Yes, Maxwell's two steals there at the end. Really outstanding. Baucom standing up there, knocking them down. Chris Carmelian played the best game he's played since he's been here. Dan Bell had a great second half. Sean Anderson got in foul trouble, but yet I've never seen a more unified group and I've never seen a team so happy to win. And, you know, we were really concerned that we hadn't won close games. We were really concerned that we couldn't get down and play when it mattered. I think not only did it answer the questions for the fans, but it really answered our questions, meaning ours and the teams, really proud of them. That was a great effort by a lot of people. If you talk to the kids, they say we have so much talent that when we play well, we can just blow teams off the floor. You played well against a team that played well and you came up with a victory and that's a plus. Well, you're no. 1's going to blow Ricks off the floor. They're a fine basketball team. They'll have a hard time tomorrow night with snow. I think we did take a little bit out of them. How could you not? I'd hate to have to come back tomorrow and play. I'm glad that Kansas isn't here, but you know, What a gratifying feeling. 143, we're down by five. They had the ball. We just missed five straight free throws. We'd missed a dunk. It was looked pretty bleak. And at 1:37, about five or six seconds later, we're right there. And then we really worked hard defensively and you know, we talked about our outside shooting. Our outside shooting was excellent tonight. Robert Maxwell knocked it in, John Baucom knocked it in, Wes hit some shots and then we. In the second half, we boarded really well. They hurt us with their offensive rebounds in the first half and that was taken care of. The second half. One of the bigger wins we've had in a long time here. One of the things that Riggs is different this year is they're a very deep team. This is probably one of the few times this year they've run into a team that can go as deep on the bench. Well, our bench played really well. You know, we went down to Vitor, we played Rich most the way. But Gordon Anderson's a heck of a player and he missed a few tonight, but yet he's a heck of a player and will help us as we go. But yet our bench. Well, John Boss, the basketball really wins it for us. And then Mark Duran didn't really play much and he's a great player as well. And in the different situations, he might be the guy that goes with us most of the time. But yet from my standpoint as a coach of this basketball team, I don't think that I've ever been. There was one other time I think I was any more prouder than the team. And that was the time that we came back at the Nationals to win third. A game that we didn't have to win, but yet one that they played on hard. And I think this team tonight was the same type of feeling. Really, really proud of them. Very similar situation. You're down against Western Texas, you lose your top scorer, Johnny Gilbert, he's on the sidelines. You come back and win it anyway. Here tonight you lost Shawn Anderson, not your top scorer, but one of your key people. And you still come back to win and you're five points down and still come back and win. Well, there's other things too. We talked about the team that wins it.
