For Linda Hicks, wife to Clearfield High coach, Ken and mother to Clearfield quarto-back- , Brook, she has lived and died with each athletic success that the family has experienced. Brook, a senior at Clearfidd this year, is hanging up his football gear for another season, after he and his teammates were beaten by the Bingham Miners last Saturday in a playoff game to dedde who would enter the 1979 state tournament. Im probably the worst loser in the family, said Linda, in a chuckle, I like to see the kids win like everyone dse. It would have been nice to see them get a chance to play at the University of Utah. Brook grew up with a father who naturally loved competition and sports in general. When Ken was playing softball or baseball, at least seven days a week, Brook was there on his own free will watching his dad perform. Who knows what the youngster was thinking, but it wasn't to difficult to see the young wanted to get involved somehow. feraoDv How does a mom feel with her son knocking heads each Friday afternoon on the gridiron. Mrs. Hicks put it this way, Of course you get nervous sometimes, but somehow youve got to put it out of your mind. Brook has always been a pretty durable boy, so he has been able to take some of the knocking around. Mrs. Hicks fdt that it means a lot to a mother and father when watching their son or any of their children excdl. She said there isnt a time when either parent doesnt want them to be successful. While in junior high, Brook participated with the Sunset Devils wih his mother watching those games. Thursday evening is usually the time the team would play so Ken was unable to attend because of duties with the high school sports program. Sports has been a way of life for us, said Linda, Even my own family has always been involved. Mrs. Hicks has a brother who played professional baseball, the sport that her husband Ken heads at the high school. Now that football retires for another season at Clearfield, Brook will prepare for another cage season undo the direction of Coach Craig Hansen. In spring hell play baseball for his dad, usually starting a good many games from the pitchers mound.

By virtue of Deans recruiting, Rex came to Ogden and Weber State and there hasnt been a day that Coach Chick Hislop has regretted that move. Last Saturday at the Utah State Invitational in Logan, Rex teamed up with his fellow distance men to bring Weber their second meet victory of the year. Hohnholt finished second in the meet, just seconds behind Norbeto Segura. Hohnholt, who claimed the Wyoming championship both his junior and senior in the mile and two-mil- e years, feels that crediting his father Joe is the right thing to do. There hasnt hardly been a time that he hasnt stood behind me and urged me on. Even though my folks live in Wyoming they still try to see most of my meets. Its things like that that keep me going everyday, said Rex. The Guernsey, Wyoming native never ran cross country in high school, reporting that his school never even fielded a team. I always enjoyed running and I guess I always will, said Hohnholt. When in more ways than one to the Weber State cross country team. BROOK HICKS of Claorfiald is helped by Coach Ray Meibos. Brook is tha son of Ken and Linda chore to stay ahead with all the good talent coming in, said Rex. Hohnholt was a member of the 1977 Big Sky Conference championship team and would like nothing better than to bring Weber State another title. He does figure Idaho and Northern Arizona to be the top contender for the championship this season. Hohnholt felt in cross country that a runners mental ability to withstand pain and exhaustion is the key to becoming a great long distance man. With the conference championship meet nearing, the runners can expect to get a lot harder workout, said Hohnholt. Being only a junior at Weber, Coach Hislop feels more than blessed to have a runner like Hohnholt back for another season. . Rex redshirted last season due to a knee injury but appears to be at full strength this season. Coach Hislop stated earlier in the season, If we can keep runners this season, well have a good like Hohnholt injury-fre- e chance of taking the Big Sky title. Rex has easily figured to be one of the top three runners since first coming to Weber State. Its a I |
