Show Lakeside 5C Wednesday, Aug. 24, 1983 Review North, Even Skeptics Agree; Davis Favored to Repeat By KENT SOMERS Review Sports Editor KAYSVILLE Even Davis Coach Ward Sawley admits it. Yes, he too would have to pick the Darts as favorites to win the Region Four championship again. But before Davis High is handed the 1983 Region Four cham- pionship trophy, lets play the Devils Advocate and examine this promising Dart team. DA: First of all, let me ask you about their seniors. Are they any good? Answer: Not big at all. Samp- son, who weighs all of 203 pounds, is the biggest lineman. He and Greg McNabb will play both offensive and defensive tackle for the Darts. Playing offensive guard for the Darts will be seniors Sean Kilgrow, Jimmy Larkins and Robert Reid. Chris Stevenson will play tight end. None of those players are big, but they are quick. DA: You mentioned Sampson. I remember hearing that name last year, but I pictured him as a d tackle. You say hes only 203 pounds. Is he really that good? Answer: Yes, hes that good. True, hes too small to play in the line at college. But he tears high school linemen apart. Heres how Sawley describes him. Hes quick and has strong legs and hips. Hes intelligent and reads well and has good lateral movement. What more could you want from a tackle? DA: How about the offensive backfield? Is there any speed ' 220-poun- Answer: Youre going to have to do better than that. The Darts not only return several letter-meseveral schools do that, but these returning lettermen played a large part in the Darts 1982 region championship season. Guys like Jeff Sampson, Ryan Smith, Jeff Hammer and I could go on for awhile, were instrumental in the Darts success. DA: O.K., so the front line of the senior class in strong. Ill give you that. But does the senior class have much depth? there? Answer: Now thats a much Answer: Decent speed, but better question.

At the in- side linebacker position, the Darts will play Stevenson and Hammer. Woodward and Smith will play the outside positions. Andy Keck, Randy Smith, Sar- gent and Miller will constitute the Darts secondary much of ' the time. DA: Sargent is going to play defense too? Isnt that dangerous for a quarterback. Answer: Davis quarterbacks are required to be rugged, said Sawley. One of the first things we teach them is how to block, Sawley said. Hes a running back for us and another blocker. DA: I notice you &! " men- Answer: I knew I would get you on that one. Sawley is impressed with his juniors, to say the least. Heres how he describes them. Weve got so much depth. The junior defensive line will average We have kids the size of 4 and the potential to be over 220 pounds. Sawley also said he has some juniors who are now ready to push his seniors and that is always healthy for a football team. DA: How about the schedule? Combine a competitive region and a returning champion thats favored to win the championship again and youll come up 6-- 4, 6-- 5. 6-- with upsets. Answer: Its true, everyone will be after Davis this year. It would be quite an accomplishment to beat the Darts. Even Sawley arees that it will be tougher to win the title this year. But remember, if the Darts stay healthy they are an improved team. Davis will open the season this Friday at Weber High. Sawley said he didnt know much about the Warriors this year or what their new coach, Rod Buckwoldt, offensive or defensive plans were so the Darts face the unkown Friday. backs like senior Ryan Smith to try and bring the DAVIS HIGH will rely on running Darts their second straight Region Four title. DA: Youve almost proven your point. But I have one last pessimistic question. Davis won the region title' last year, losing only one game in regular season play. The Darts are heavily favored again this year. Does this affect the teams practices? Are the players taking it,easy, thinking theyve won already? Answer: Ill let Sawley answer that in his. own words.
