Mike Hall of Bountiful called him one of the finest basketball players Ive ever seen for a player his height. Stoddard, who stands a little over 6 foot, battled with percent efforts every night the Darts played. Overall he was Davis No. I with 196 boards in 24 games. He gleamed 60 of those re- -' bounds offensively. Scoring wise, Stoddard was a threat as well. He averaged 11.6 points per game during league and the playoffs. During the playoffs he averaged 12.8 points per game. Like many of the area teams, Davis High has yet to play any varsity games but hopefully will get their first games played this week. on the season. Dixon shot 45 percent from the field and 71 percent from the freethrow line. We tried to have Dixon shut down the other teams best guard, and that cut down his scoring average. He possesses great court awareness and is extremely quick. He was the glue that held us together, so we basically turned the team over to him and let him run it, said Buchanan.
