The Braves filled the air with spiral aerials, a good many of them resulting in touchdowns Bountiful sailed to a 35-- victory were walking The Warriors wounded the entire contest. Several seniors missed the final contest for Weber, watching the game with nervousness from the sideline Brian Ballif, Mark Ketchum, Bruce Thorpe, and other big names didnt even dress for the game. Dave Green, Kurt Stauffer, Scott Martini, and Shawn Miller played hurt and heroically but it was to little avail, the Braves breezing up and down the field enroute to their fifth league victory. Junior Steve Shaw saw plentiful action but he himself was wrapped good several times in the game and had a slight concusion at one point. He and Green exchanged playing time throughout the afternoon. Mark Montgomery starred in his final Weber High football game which w'as highlighted by intercepting a pass and steaming 22 yards for a touchdown, the first score of the game Montgomery enjoyed an afternoon of fine play, he being about the only senior who didn't come out with bandages and bruises. Kurt Stauffer booted the extra point for the Warriors which gave them a 0 lead. The Weber touchdown only seemed to ignite a Brave rally for scores, with Bountiful coming right back in the start of the second quarter. Webers Rick Treasure saved one score with a tip of a long Bountiful pass that forced the Braves to punt, but a fumble on the first play from scrimmage took the ball away from Weber. Several plays later, Bountifuls Rob Cottle burst in from two yards to get the Braves on the scoreboard and back in the game. Ron Grahams extra point tied the game at 7 a piece. The Braves scored early in the second period, Brad LaComb bulling his way in from three yards away to march. Less cap a than three minutes later, LaComb scored again, this time on a drive set up by a Bountiful interception. The Braves threatened again just before the half, but Dave Adnerson intercepted a pass on the seven to shut out the threat. 1978's 7 7-- d, A.' rugged Brave defense continued to cause Weber trouble, however.

Shattuck has left impressions at By Keith Duncan There are a few Weber High players this 1978 year that left impressions that will never be forgotten. Especially with the defense, certain Warriors will be legends for years to come. One of them was Bob Shattuck. Shattuck was consistent with the Weber team this past season, playing both defensive end and offensive center. He was one of the only seniors who wasnt limping on the sideline as the season ended, it was a big plus for the Warriors to have him steadily improving in each contest. This is the closest group of guys Ive ever played with, it was fun. We learned a lot. Ive found this season you dont have to win to learn something, commented the 63, 180 pound grid star. His comments were voiced when asked about his team winning only three games this past season. Football is behind us now but Ill never forget the memories and the principles that coaches taught me, said Shattuck. Bob claims that North Ogden's Tony Aragon would get the most credit if he had to pinpoint someone who had helped him to excell in his athletic career. Tony was especially especially helpful in instilling the confidence that I needed to succeed. I probably would have never enjoyed running hurdles in track if it werent for him, said Bob. Shattuck, besides knocking heads in football, performs during the winter with the basketball team and is a track regular in the spring. As a junior high athlete he took championship honors in the hurdles. Last winter, Shattuck, broke his ankle while playing in a junior varsity basketball game and that derailed last seasons track expectations. He claims hell be back this season, as strong as ever. Tm looking forward to basketball now. Brad Hall is a good player so I suppose my work is cut out in finding a position on that team, said Coach Tracy Deneke was also credited in helping to shape Bobs desire to perform well in sports. Like several W'eber High athletes, Bobs most memorable sporting event that comes to the mind quickly, was the county fottball championship between Roy Junior and North Ogden. Bob was a standout in ninth grade. BOB SHATTUCK According to editor Dave Hall, the new magazine will contain interesting articles on Utahs game and nongame species, an Opinion page, a Letters to the Editor page, several pages on wildlife and a regular shorts, sketchbook feature with illustrations by Utah artist Margaret Pettis.

Spinks attorneys say they will file a multi-millio- n dollar defa- mation of character suit against Arum. After the fight, Arum was quoted as saying that Spinks lost He was drunk because, every night he was here. Leon went to places our people didnt dare go. Im surprised he didn't wind up with a knife in him. Spinks still has five fights remaining on his contract with Arums firm, Top Rank, Inc., but his lawyers say that contract has now been breached and theyre negotiating with Don King to handle Spinks future. Baseball pitcher Gaylord Perry, who at age 40 won 2 1 games this year for the San Diego Padres to give him a career record of 267 victories, thinks the baseball season isnt long enough. With tongue firmly in cheek, Perry told me: The trouble with baseball is that it is not played the year round.

Keith Duncan Warrior football; Soccer boom A whole lot doesnt need to be said about Weber Highs past football season, but lets take just a few lines and speculate a bit. The Warriors won a big battle this season. No, they didnt knock off any Region One powerhouse even though they came close in a few cases, but the Weber crew were victorious in a battle that many lose. 1978 was a year in which they never gave up, they were fighters right to the very last gun and thats one victory that 40 some odd football players and five or six coaches can fel good about. I enjoyed every minute that I was able to give sports coverage to the football team at Weber. I believe I'm just as disappointed as most everyone else that they didnt win a few more ballgames, but my time was time well spent. Several times I made it into the halftime strategy talks to listen to Coach Joe James and his assistants give hurried and special instructions to the team. The intensity was turned way up high during those meetings everyone was involved and I dont believe there was a player involved that didnt think his team could go out the second half and win a ballgame. Attending a Weber football practice was just as intent. Two or three hours a night after school, sometimes in weather so cold that I could hardly see how they could bear it. But there was a goup of people expecting to win and a good practice was a key to that I loved that intensity. Why the Warriors arent in the state playoffs this weekend is an answer that I dont have, but I dont believe its the most important thing right now, probably the least important. Im also deeply impressed with the love that five or six coaches have had for a group of young men like this. During the course of the season I was priviledged to converse with several players and to find what made them tick. Each time there was that high admiration for a favorite coach who had taught a specific principle or had spent some extra time of had jush spent some time listening. To me, thats winning real big. hoped-for-victor- I I wont attempt t wont attempt to round-u- p the season in this writing, but to a recap of the 1978 grid in a future Beacon look forward season. Soccer Bigger all the Time three days in the Houston, Texas area and I was particularly impressed with the high interest n the sport of soccer. Soccer is just beginning to take hold in the Intermountainn area. Especially among the youth. It is estimated that some 14,000 youngsters registered to play in three major associations for the 1978-7- 9 season. In the Houston District Youth Soccer Association, the city proper, some 4,600 kids are out kicking around the inflated white ball. Some officials report that the kids playing in Texas leagues are just as talented as in the world. Its nice to think we may have a competititve soccer team that could play evenly with any in the world. It would be especially nice around Olympic time. It is estimated that some 90,000 kids play soccer in the state of Texas alone with 70,000 of those being 13 years old and under. It is enough they say to start looking towards the schools. With football still as big as ever in the midlands of Texas and the sport of soccer growing the way it is they must be doing something right. About a week ago I spent two or now-a-da- k |
