Viewmont High School 1974 Yearbook (Bountiful UT) - Full Access

Bruce Lee Varsity Basketball After a mediocre pre-season, Viewmont's mighty Vikings came to the form that has carried them to State six previous years and easily won the Region Two crown. Kim Nelson, Mike Oman, Roger Thomas, Guy Morrell, Rusty McNeill, Ryan Farnes, Sharm Smoot, Bruce Lee, and Chuck Kruger starred for the the Vikes in claiming a 9- 1 season record. By swishing baskets from the outside, working the ball in for a turn -around jump shot, running the fast break and hitting crucial foul shots, Viewmont outclassed their Region Two foes. From there, Viewmont went into the State Playoffs ranked number five in the state and faced the Hillcrest Huskies. The first half was all Viewmont as we rolled to a 31-23 lead at half. But a turnaround of events enabled Hillcrest to pull ahead in the final quarter winning 69-50 . This was to be our last defeat. Our determined team got by Bonneville 66-65, put down Olympus 65-64, and held on for a big win over Skyline in the Consolation Championship game 66-61 in overtime. So as predicted before the playoffs started, Viewmont placed fifth in State and ended their season 12 wins and 2 losses, taking home with them their fifth place trophy. Then two days later it was announced that the Viking studentbody nabbed the sportsmanship trophy showing the pride of Viewmont High School. 81
