First time in a ball game. And since then Ricks has never been able to catch up. Tooler hits the first of the two shot foul. Or the one on one situation, I should say.

A good game, Ricks College ball club as both teams suffered a little bit of foul trouble in the first half. But it got to Ricks before it got to Dixie and Dixie with some hot shooting ran away. 109 to 92, final score. Stay tuned for the post game show. And by the bucket coming up. First. Actually a nostalgic night for six Dixie Rebels. Their last home game prior to their last games of the season. The last home game before the Rebel fans and Dixie College with six sophomores playing. Five of the six sophomores playing in the final couple of minutes. Brad Hapes, Eric Slaymaker, Dave Rose, three sophomore guards, Fred Travato, guard and sometimes forward Bruce Hurst and Craig Hammer. Six sophomores making their final appearance before the home fans. And Rex Ewer down on the floor taking snapshots down there. Some good action pictures I hope. We certainly hope so, Larry. If we get some good ones, we're going to blow them up and put them in our boys room. So I think he's certainly hoping that we get some good ones tonight. It's a whole different ball game down on the floor. You know, you seem like it's just a peon when you get down there with those guys. They were just, you know, chatter, chatter, chatter all the time. And great bunch of guys. Great bunch of enthusiasm. Did you get to slam dunk by Dave Rose? I did, but I think it'll probably turn out pretty blurry. You were excited, right then. Greg loves your oldest son. Just loves those slam dunks. We found that out last night. Yes, that's right. I think he went home and tried to count every one of them. I think he came up with a total of seven last night. And, you know, tonight was a lot different ball game, but that's one thing that he lives, lives for. And I actually, I had to go home and lower my basket at home so he could practice slam dunking it. So he isn't that tall yet. You must have had to lower it quite a bit. He's going to be a bit like his dad, I think. Well, I don't mean to laugh. No, Rex, no, no, no, no, no. The feeling down on the floor. A lot of excitement along that Dixie bench. Lots of excitement, Larry, and especially since Snow lost last night and Dixie came out here and handled Rick's fairly easy tonight here. You know, of course, the first half was quite tight, but, you know, down there in the, in the keyhole tonight, there's a lot of elbows, a lot of shoving going around, and each, each one of the guys complimented one another. They wasn't going for the glory. You know, it's a great team effort. And you could just tell the way they, the way they chattered and the way they complemented one another. You know, that's a hundred percent team effort. And I think Dixie's going to do all right. It was a pretty good gesture right at the last, Dave Rose leaving the basketball for Bruce Hurst on that layup. Yeah, I was, I was all prepared right there to get this another dunk, you know, and all of a sudden, before I knew it, he threw the ball back to Hurst. And so I had to hurry and readjust my camera so I could get Hurst on the dunk. So. But anyway, Hurst didn't dunk it. He just went in for the easy cripple. But they're a great bunch of guys, Larry, and they all compliment one another and got a lot of team spirit. So hope they go and do okay in the regionals. This is a hot Ricks ball club that they knocked out tonight. It was not a case of Ricks rolling over and dying, although Ken Kragan in foul trouble early had to be a big hurt for the Vikings chances. Yes, that's true. You know, you get somebody in foul trouble like Dixie had Gordon Anderson in foul trouble Here in the first half and you know, it takes a little bit of spark out of any ball club that gets their big gun in foul trouble. But Dixie, in the first half they was able to substitute one guy at a time and they was able to come up with a combination which was able to spark Dixie. And you know, when they took Sleighmaker out, put Keener in and put even Tom Hanson in the center, you know, was able to spark the ball club to where no matter who they play and it doesn't matter which group of five guys are in there, it's all a pretty equal bunch of boys. This is as well as Dixie has played all year. This is the best that Dixie has played at all year. These last two ball games, you know, it's like when we was coming over here tonight, I was telling my wife that it seems like the Dixie, every time they have two games back to back, one on a Friday and one on a Saturday. They play an excellent ball game the Friday night and they come back and they are tight, they're tense the second night. You know, we saw that in the, in the tournament here during the holidays. And you know, I told my wife, I said just wait tonight for Dixie because I'm sure they're going to be tense and it's going to be a different ball game than it was last night. And the first half started out that way but all of a sudden Dixie got that combination in there and they was able to capitalize on it and of course they come out here in the second half and they was able to do alright. I just feel bad that I missed the prediction that scored by two points. Rex, I gotta give you credit. You've won a couple of those BYU score guessing contests already for people who follow that team. Well, thanks a lot, Larry, but I get lucky once in a while and I won my third one the other night. Did you really? You didn't tell me that two weeks ago I lucked out and won number three. So the one I really am after I'm. I need that trip to Acapulco. That's enough of this. Let's talk about final statistics and we'll be back with the final stats on this ball game after this message from Hurst. Ben Franklin. Rex, before we get to the scoring totals, I'll turn the mic to you. Let's talk about turnovers, rebounds and other etceteras, sort of type of statistics like that. Take it, Rex. Well, thanks a lot, Larry, but I must admit that when I went down to take my foul or My camera down with me, I got a little bit carried away. So I actually didn't get the correct statistics as far as shots attempted and their percentages from the field and from the free throw line. But anyway, in the first half, you know, Dixie shot 60% from the free throw line as compared to 85% from from Rick's. But they shot a blistering 58% in the first half actually after they started out shooting only 25%. So they actually come back and shot another 75% to capitalize to make it 58. But Ricks shot a total of 50% in the first half. And I guess it's my fault that I thought more of my camera in the second half. But anyway, we did was able to keep track of rebounds due to some good statisticians from the encore group here. But anyway, as far as rebounds, Dixie had come up with a total of 38, Ricks had a total of 31. And turnovers plagued Rick's tonight. Of course, Dixie had their share and each game they seemed to be cutting it down just a little bit, getting ready to be geared for the national finals, I guess. But in turnovers, Dixie had a total of 13, Ricks had a total of 19. So once again, that turnover just plays a major, major part. I was talking to Coach Heaton a couple of years ago when I was down to high school, and they figure out that for each turnover that each team has, they lose one point. So if we think about the 19 points that ricks could have had here tonight, of course have been a lot different ballgame perhaps, but of course Dixie had 13, so we still gotta add 13 onto them. But Dixie played an excellent ballgame, excellent defensive game, and this is the best they've been playing all year long, definitely last two ball games. Dixie dropped behind as much as seven points at one time in the first half. Dixie caught Ricks at 30 to 29 with their first lead of the ballgame. And from that point on, never really looked back too long. Ricks kept making runs at Dixie, got back within one point several times, but Dixie never trailed after that 30 to 29 margin. And from then on it was all Dixie and just got to be more and more Dixie. First of all, let's take a look at the Rick scoring unofficially. Rex Palmer came off the bench, failed to score a couple of big losses and some foul trouble to hit both ball clubs tonight. Kept some ball players on the sidelines. Jeff Anderson came up with five field goals, 8 for 10 from the free throw line, fouled out of the ball game with 222 left and a total of 18 points and a big minus for Bricks was Ken Cragan. The first foul of the ball game on Cragan really shouldn't have been called because Cragan did not make the contact unless he did up around the wrist. But the official signaled around the body and Craig and really did not get him there. But Craigen from that time got into foul trouble and it just seemed to be an off night for Craigen altogether. Although when he was in there he was tough. Being out of there so much of the time had to have hurt. The Vikings fouled out with 10:37 left in a ballgame. Three field goals, 2 for 2 from the free throw line, a total of eight points. Tan Tooler came off the bench coming down the wire, started putting it up there pretty good and leading a little bit of a charmed Life and got two field goals and 6 for 6 from the free throw line, a total of 10 points. Gordon Curbs held in control tonight, just one basket for two points. Hugh Foster kept under control, two baskets for four points. Mark Matthews finished with 2 for 3 from the free throw line, a Total of two points. Jay Robins played, did not score. Sean Campbell came off the bench late in the ball game and got a basket for two points. Brad Gardner, super shooter, doing an excellent job tonight. Just not enough in the second half. They couldn't get the basketball to him enough. And Gardner, three field goals six for six from the free throw line, a total of 12 points. Mark McCleary coming off a back injury playing as much as he has in a long time. Five field goals, 2 for 2 from the free throw line, a total of 12 points. Larry Tobler, super night super ball player for the soft, the only sophomore on this ball club, Tobler. 10 field goals, 2 for 2 from the free throw line, 22 points to lead all of the Ricks scorers. And if you look at it, five men in double figures plus one more man, Ken Kragan with eight points. Good balance, excellent balance for Ricks College tonight. They, you know they're an excellent ball cub and of course Dixie had their their hands full when they were up there. Of course it went into overtime and they knew that they was going to have their hands full tonight. And of course they did beat Snow last night and Dixie had to really play good ball to beat them and they're an excellent balanced ball club and well coached. Okay, let's take a look at the Dixie ball Club. Their 109 points came this Way Craig Hammer. Might as well give him credit. Fouled out of the ball game. This is the first time we've seen Hammer foul out of a ball game in a long time. Fouled out with a minute nine left in the game. Eight field goals, eight for eight from the free throw line. Got a standing ovation for his 24 points and deservedly so. Hammer has put on quite a show this season. Yes, he has. And of course, if I was a star like Hammer, and if it was my last home game, Larry, I think I'd have fouled out too. Okay, I'll accept that. Let's take a look at some of the other ballplayers. Gordon Keener came off the bench, provided some much needed spark because Eric Slamaker was definitely in a slump. Four field goals, one for one from the free throw line, a total of nine points. Fred Traffato played briefly coming down the wire the last five minutes. One for two from the free throw line. Just the one point. Gordon Anderson in foul trouble all night and Anderson failed to score. Gritsch Gramillian came off the bench in the first half, didn't play in the second half and he failed to score. So two of the big centers didn't score tonight and that had to be a little bit of a problem for Dixie, but they overcame it anyway. Bruce Hurst came off the bench, scored, played only in the second half and scored three field goals, 2 for 2 from the free throw line. A total of eight points. Tom Hanson playing only in the first half. Hanson provided some spark at center when Anderson got in foul trouble in the first half. Brad Boyle did a little bit in the first half, a whole bunch in the second half. Here are two guys that normally haven't been playing that much center doing an outstanding job tonight. And really the key, when Anderson and Gramillion didn't do the job Boyle and Hanson did. That's right, Larry. And last night when we was walking out through the parking lot, Hanson and Anderson were just getting in their car. They must have had their parents here, I'll say. At least they had a car full of. And Tom and Gordon were just getting in their car. And I said, hey, Tom, you played an excellent ball game tonight. And his old face just lit up and you could just see that lumberjack smile. You know, he was so excited that he just got in and scored four points. And I think tonight when they called him in there in the first quarter, I think it totally caught him unaware that he was actually going in the first quarter. And you know, he made good time of it. And he went right to the rim every time he got the ball. Much more positive when he's playing. Has improved drastically over the year. To be honest with you. A lot of the coaching staff didn't feel like Hanson would provide that much support this year. But he was a good, good young man and they wanted to keep him around and just see if he would develop. They have been pleasantly surprised the last couple of weeks. Yes, they have and he has developed. And you know, even when they go in the dressing room and come back out to take their warm ups, Tom Hanson is always the first man to lead them out. And you know, he adds a lot of spark even on the bench. And of course you got to have a good bench to have a good starting five. And I think Dixie's got that totally this year. And apparently that's going to be a key for Dixie. They're coming on strong, providing some bench strength in that center position. Tom Hanson, two field goals, 1 for 2 from the free throw line, five points. Just played the first half. Tim Fulmer, definite off night but still came up with three field goals. Missed these only two free throws, a total of six points. Some of the key ball players now. Eric Slaymaker, big slump tonight and would have to ask his dad for the halftime interview. On the one night, maybe the worst night that Eric has ever had in The Rebel Gym. Two field goals, one for two from the free throw line, a total of five points. Brad Heaps, Super Night. Six field goals, five, four, six from the free throw line, 17 points. Dave Rose came off the bench to hit a field goal, 2 for 2 from the free throw line, a total of four points. Couple of ballplayers that hadn't seen that much action in recent weeks until the last three or four games. John Bauckham hitting a career high tonight, seven field goals, four for four from the free throw line, a total of 18 points. In the last three ballgames he set a new career high of 17. Matched his old one of 16 points last night and then went up one more tonight. 18 points, brand new career high for John Baucom and Brad Boyle. Super night. Six field goals matching his Dixie College career high. A total of 12 points tonight for Brad Boyle. We'll be back with a couple of more notes after this message. Oh, wow, I hope that's just the radio. Is your radio going bananas? Hope that's just a radio and not this. A little bit of a surprise tonight as Dixie had four men and double figures. Rick's had five men and double figures. If you want to go by the number of double figure scores. Rick's actually had a little better balance tonight. Five men and double figures, one man with eight. Dixie actually with four men and double figures. A man with eight and a man with nine. So I guess it's fairly even, a couple of good offensive shows. I think part of the key tonight, Rex, was the fact that Ricks College was forced to play fast break. Dixie got the lead and suddenly Rick's found themselves in a fast break ballgame. And they normally don't run and shoot that much. They showed that they can run and shoot but they couldn't keep up with Dixie. One thing about it, whoever gets the control of the game and the Temple, you know, like Dixie, they're a run and gun shooting team. And if they can get the tempo of the game, it's got to force the other team into run and shoot. And you know, once you get behind, you got to play catch up ball. And that's what Dixie had to play force Rick's into doing tonight. Taking a look briefly at. I hope that's just static on our radio and not going out over the air. We are getting a little static coming back at us here as they're lowering the standards, the basketball standards. Nixie College with a 109 to 92 victory tonight over the Ricks College Rebels are Ricks College Vikings. Let's take a look at future broadcast action and what will be taking place with Dixie College and Dixie High School. For Dixie high school, a 5350 Victor last night against Payson High School. Dixie with a big win last night against Payson keeps their hopes alive for state tournament berth. Although it's getting down to the nitty gritty. Dixie needs to win their final three ball games and their next game will be Wednesday evening at home against Spanish Fork. And we'll be on the air beginning at 7:15 with a pre game show. Dixie High versus Spanish Fork in that game. And the next Dixie College game will be Friday night when Dixie is on the road against Colorado Northwestern in Rangeley, Colorado. And the last we heard that would be a 7:30 game. So we'll be on the air 7:15 with the broadcast time. Our final broadcast of the year for Dixie College regular season. Although Dixie's now assured themselves a spot in that Arizona tournament. Next week we'll have Spanish pork for and Dixie High Wednesday night, Friday night on KZEZ fm, Dixie High and Pleasant Grove and then next Friday and Saturday for Dixie College, Colorado, Northwestern, Friday night on KDXU and College of Eastern Utah final regular season game Saturday night.

We'd like to thank XV Kelly for keeping us on the air back at the station. And our final score Once again, Dixie 109, Ricks College 92. Till we hear from each other again, Take care now, you hear?
