Show WEEKLY REFLEX DAVIS NEWS JOURNAL, NORTH DAVIS LEADER, SEPTEMBER 24, 1981 t r By KEITH DUNCAN When two teams get together that are winless in region play, better plan on an all out dogfight. When the Royals of Roy and the Layton Lancers get lined-uplan on something just short of a World War III. ADD IT all together and youve got dangerous explo- sives to play with. With that in mind, Layton will continue its search for its first victory of the 81 season while Roy is hungry as ever to get back on the winning track so they can capture the region title everyone predicted they would win. ALL THE fireworks take place in Roy this Friday night on the Royals newly lit foot ball field. It isnt the most pleasant thing for Coach Gary Hansen to be sitting 4 and having to stare a hungry Royal team square in the face. But the veteran Lancer coach has seen tougher ones in his day and is the first to admit that Layton hasnt rolled over and died yet. 0-- THE 0-- 4 mark may not really tell the story of this team because the competitiveness is just as alive in players like Mike Bunting, Jeff Roberts, Jeff Moon and others like it has always been. Past history doesnt favor the Lancers when it comes to Roy games. The Royals have been able to defeat Hansen and his crew like many teams around havent. Even the year the Lancers took the state title, 78 if you will, it was the Royals that were able to knock off the Lancers in region play. ROY IS led by Wade Jack-li- veteran the son of Jacklin.

Ashley and Aragon have been the starters so far. THE ROYALS have a strong defensive line and Jacklin feels the offensive line is stronger than last year. Even though the deLakers blitzed the Royals of kind that week, last fense thing usually doesnt happen. Layton will continue to work with Brad Merrill at the time he QB position. The more will become gets the better he according to the Layton coaches. A BRIGHT spot for the Lancers all season has been the the running of Alan Gentry. If all at chance have any Lancers of winning, they will have to have a good game from the senior running back. for a lot ol brain and brawn. I.a ton's Robert Gray and Roys Mark Eggington will be across from each other, when the Lancers and the Royals must only in a lot meaner situation than this pictured above. Its time once again renew their bitter aquaintance. l ime Bobcats Pass Over Lancers In Opener yards a Lancer back dropped the ball and finally a holding penalty killed a drive. By DAVE WIGHAM - LAYTON When you triple your opponents total offense in a half, hold them to zero first downs, and still find yourselves behind in the score then you know for certain that someone upstairs isnt on your side. ON EACH possession the Lancers had moved the ball almost at will with Dave Glover, Lynn Bell, Tracy Jones, Robert Gray and A! Clark winning the battle on the line of scrimmage. THATS exactly what happened last week in the Layton and Sky View football game as the Bobcats came up big winners in a 47-- romp as both sides opened up Region One warfare. By the end of the first half the Lancers had rolled up some 206 yards on offense while their strong defensive unit had held Sky View to just 76 yards. Truth is the Bobcats didnt even get a legitimate first dow n in the first two quarters. Sky View meanwhile couldn't get anything going against an inspired Layton defense led by Mike Bunting. 9 LAYTON put together a great drive as the first period came to a close. Merrill lofted a great pass into the arms of Craig Kennedy who took the ball fifty yards to the Bobcat 30 yard line. Alan Gentry then carried for six yards, Jeff Roberts for three then Gentry for three more and a first down on the Sky View 18 yard line. Gentry carried for another four yards then the Lancers tried two passes into the end zone which both fell incomplete. On fourth down the Lancers failed to get the needed yardage so the Bobcats took over. YET WITHIN the space of forty seconds the Bobcats found the Lancer endzone twice and actually led 14-0 going into the lockers. On their first three poses-sion- s of game the Lancers were hit by their own mistakes again. First quarterback Brad Merrill was hit from the blind-sidand coughed up the ball with the Bobcats falling on it. then while trying for extra over occurred. With :03 left in the half and the ball resting on the fifty yard line Sky View quarterback Corey Lindley threw a perfect strike into the arms of Ron Burton who took it the distance for six points. The snap on the point after was bad. Hapsen who scored on passes of 15 yards, 40 yards, 41 yards plus he returned a kickoff 90 yards for a score. 1 LAYTON DID salvage some pride when Merrill hit Alan Gentry with a 15 yard scoring strike with just over three minutes to play which was against the first defensive unit of the Bobcats. (See related editorial). It was a frustrating afternoon for everyone involved with the football program at THEN FOLLOWING the kickoff Merrill had a pass picked off by Mark Stephens w ho returned it twenty yards for another S.V. score. This time the Bobcats went for the two points and made it, leaving the score 0 at half. It was a different second half all together as the Bobcats found success through the air against the Lancers. Layton never did put a stop to Dwight the Layton school. They dominated the first half but failed to get into the endzone. The Lancers showed they can move the ball but for some reason Lady Luck just isnt smiling on them. 14-- KEITH DUNCAN said.

Con Wilcox, in just three short weeks, has found his student teaching experience at Davis High to be both and a very good experience. CON IS presently assisting Frank Thompson with the freshmen football squad. He takes over the defense and gets a chance to coach some of the moves he put on in high school and in college. He is attending Weber State College and is doing the student teaching as the requirement that goes along with becoming certified as a Utah teacher. WILCOX, who once starred at the linebacker position at Clearfield High and Dixie College, wants to continue his athletic career as a coach. And he has decided upon Davis High as the place to pick up some valuable experiences in that quest. Wilcox says its a different thing to play a sport over teaching in it.
