Mike's best pre-season game was against Bingham. He had 14 points, 6 steals, and many rebounds. Mike is a great defender as well as offensive player. He continues to be a dominant player in the games.

The game against American Fork was played during the time of Bountiful's HUGE wind storm. Game time was changed from Friday to Saturday. The Varsity game was an intense and exciting game with Bountiful up by one, and 1.15 seconds left in the game. An American Fork player was fouled, at the line, shooting 2 when the power went out. After waiting about 30 minutes in the dark, the game was called.

The Bingham game was intense. The flaring temper of the basketball coach along with the incredible spectacle he made of himself, made you appreciate our coaches. It has been rumored that Steve Brown may have encounter this coach during the Rebel's days. They may or may not have had words, and made arrangements to meet after the game to continue your heated discussion in the hall.

Off to a rough start!
