WEEKLY REFLEX DAVIS NEWS JOURNAL, FEBRUARY 23, 1978 'V By DAVE WIGHAM Following Region One action on Tuesday the picture looks like this The only thing that everyone can agree on concerning Region Four basket-ba- il is that the region is m a mess right now. The mess is caused by the top six teams, all of which are separated by one or two ball games. p!aoff IF VIEWMONT wins on Friday then they would be tied with the loser of the Laton and Sky View game for fifth and sixth place in the region The two schools would then playoff with ea h other for tho-spots If Viewmont loses Friday then they would be sixth and would automatically have to playoff with a Salt HOODS e Area Well Represented In Wrestling Tournament By DAVE WIGHAM Last week I had the opportunity to attend the state wrestling tournament at the University of Utah for the 4A schools since some of our local athletes were involved SLNCE THE Salt Lake City people, the press mainly, like to talk about their dominance of certain sporting events, lets take a look at how the 4A tournament came out. Of the top four schools in the meet, Brighton, Weber, Viewmont and Bountiful, three of them are from Region One Thats right, three of the top four teams came from somewhere outside of Salt Lake City In fact as one can see two of those schools are from Davis County This is an indication to me that both Davis County and Region One have some great talent in the wrestling area Alden Button of 44 North Mountain Fruit Road, Heights, received the 198 HortieulturaiiSt of the Year award from the I lah Stale FFA (Future I armors of America) 5 MR. BIRTON was present ed the plaque during the an nual FFA state convention ih Salt Lake City The plaque In recug leads as follows nitmn of your enviable record as a fruit grower, for your leadership ro'l in promoting tie fruit industry and for be mg a good friend to Future THE WRESTLING programs in this area don't get much recognition, from school support, etc. more than it has in the past years but compared to the smaller schools the support is minimal. Take for example the Wasatch team, they had the whole school and town at the tournament, including the pep band These smaller schools realize the dedication the athletes have to have and they support them All in all the wrestling year in this area was a great one Interest went up throughout, as evidenced with the number of spectators at the Bountiful-lewmont dual meet.

A sweep by the Falcons would give them at least a tie for title, one loss would ruin any chance of winning the region crown BOTH these clubs beat the Clearfield team in the first go round, although neither one of then dominated the Falcons Roy used their home floor to earn a one-poivictory, while the Weber team went into Clearfield and came win away with a four-poi- right behind McCleery in scoring with a 17 point WILDCAT big man Mark McCleery has been a steady average while Hill, coming back into form is hitting at a 12 point barrage Ostler and McCleery were the only two in double figures in the first meeting and the Cats will have to spread out the scoring more evenly if they want to performer for Coach kayne Baker and is averaging 20 points a game from his center spot. After a slow start, probably getting football out of his system, Troy Howard has come on strong and is currently scoring at a 17 point per game clip. These two will be going head to head on both ends of the floor this week In the first meeting the Darts tried a man for man defense in the first half and McCleery ate them alive, then when the Darts switched to a zone the Woods Cross bunch had their problems getting their big win JUNIOR guard Mike Mounteer is hitting at a 12 point a game clip and will more than likely draw WYd-ca- t Lynn Westergard for company Wildcat Todd Bal f and Dart Tod Taylor or Brad Petersen will see enough cf each other in this contest If the Wildcats can get the bdll inside to McCleery then the night will be long for Coach Mike Gardner and his man the ball THE first meeting between these two clubs the Darts pulled away from a close game to win by about five The WTldcats outscored the Darts from the field but Davis showed some clutch foul shooting down the stretch ALSO IN that first meeting the Wildcats put up a full court press near the end of the game m order to catch up and the press bothered the Darts Which means the expected game plan is forW the ll Davis team to zone the j cats and for the Wildcats to press the Darts the entire ballgame center the Besides to win. This matchup pits two of the best big men m the area against each other. One started strong and has never No one has to remind the of these two losses, they are out for some good old fashioned revenge Some speculate that THE GAME of basketball is a lot of tfs, the Falcons were looking ahead to these two games last Friday when they went to Layton, taking nothing away from the Lancers though THE FALCONS have an excellent chance to beat both of these clubs, keep in mind when you read this story the first game, Roy at Clearfield will be history In the second game Weber fans will get to see two clubs who definitely believe in tne of concept d basketball Both these clubs get balanced scoring, play defense, good hard-nosehustle all the time and make few mistakes A d BOTH coaches, Dick Con-nal- y scoring in the double figures, he can store when he has to and Friday he just .nighi have to The other guard for the Clearfield team, Mark Reid, is more of a playmaker but he scored well in the junior varsity ranks and could probably light up the varsity nets if he had to These two will be more concerned with stopping the Weber guards from scoring too much m this contest, theyll let their big people score and concentrate on stopping the opposition THE interesting fact about the scoring stats is that the Warriors get points from their center Montgomery (14 a game) and their guards Coleman (14 a game) and Trawick (14 a game) Clearfield on the other hand gets their points from their center Johnson (13 a game) and their forwards Wallace (19 a game) and Florence (12 a game) that CLEARFIELD wanted the league title when the year started, they still have that goal Knowing the type of competitive players and these players get their averages the game will depend on the other players on the floor. This is where Clearfield takes over with Darren Parry This guard has had some nights and Rodger Reid, have been around long enough to realize what a game like this means going into a state tournament. Its always nicer to go to the tournament with a win under your belts, call it a confidence factor, than it is to go with a loss in the last game coaches at the Clearfield school theyre not about to give up that goal without a fight to the finish r$ FLOOR COVERINGS (825-SOOCOMPLETE COL OR -C- scoring from Ray Coleman, Q) of SELECTION ARMSTRONG FLOORS OORDINATION PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION payment pun Quality The Weber team gets their SOURiAN SNFFT vwn TV NO WAX FLOORS nCHON COAlON FLOW TILES Attends BiSie Workshop Davis County planner will a bicycle safety workshop in Denver, Colorado on March Scott Carter has been chosen as one out of 50 people in the region to participate in the workshop A attend $1.00 OFF WilH THIS AO $1 Ou OfF WITH 1 MO AO OIL & FILTER CHANGE ONLY (mb a travel budget rk INCLUDES S QUARTS TPOP AIITIC 10 40 MOTOR 04.

Coach Kim Peterson has turned the Bountiful wrestling program from one of the also-ran- s into a top notch squad. The Braves only lost one dual match throughout the year and then placed fourth in the state. A record for the school The defending title team, If it's any Brighton, lost a dual meet to the Braves 45-consolation the Clipper Coach of the Year in wrestling goes to the Brave head man. Dont forget the job that Ron Tree has done at View mont either Each year the Vikes lose a lot of people to graduation and others think the Vikes will be down the next year Year after year though the Vikings always have tough competitive squads To become successful is one thing, but to stay successful is a fete m itself chariot racing team was first place winner in the 1977-7Beehive State Racing Association competition of the at the Lagoon Racing track. Davis, and with only a couple of games left all of them have legitimate shots at winning the crown. Also at stake is the possibility of a playoff versus an automatic berth into the 3A tournament to be held at Weber State College the second week in March. All this means that every game from here on in is that much more important than the previous one. THIS Friday marks a special event for two of these teams. Not only do they play each other, which makes it a must win, but the bragging rights to Davis County go along with it. The Davis team travels to Woods Cross is a game that means a lot to both Lake City school Jack and Jay Clawsons Cross, Logan, Box Elder, Ogden and Ben Lomond are all near the top of the league standings ball clubs. Following this game both these teams face two more games, both have one against the not so strong clubs and the other game against one of the other top clubs. Woods Cross gets South and Logan , while the Darts get Ben Lomond and Bear River. P U P Purchase O 0 One N N 1 1 oz.
