Winless Sky View gets to go to the number one team of Region Two in its quest to get into the Utah State '''Yirnament. playoffs, leading to the Utah State, eight-teatournament in March. Ihe gals will follow the same basic format n of play as the boys. Layton and Clearfield beat each other in league play, and lost no other games. Each team has a 1 record, and will play off to determine the champion of Region One. Roy lost two league games to both Layton and Clearfield, and took third place with a 4 record. Weber finished fourth with four wins and six losses, while Bonneville won two and lost eight. Sky View did not win a single game in Region One, this year. post-seaso- 9-- 6-- MIKE KEMPINGER, Ryan Bluemel and Coach Mitch Wilcox show off Weber County championship basketball trophy and the recently obtained sportsmanship trophy the school received for their efforts through the cage season. Redskin cage team earns another trophy, this time in sportsmanship Roy Junior Highs championship basketball squad added yet another trophy to their brass and wooded filled case. This time the IAABO Board No. 87 of Ogden (referees and officials group) has distinguished the Redskin basketball team with the 1979-8- 0 sportsmanship trophy for the cage season. The new trophy now sits next to another just as glamorous as itself. The first came Roy Juniors way after the Redskins finished their season at 12-and won the league championship among Weber County junior high schools. 0 When asked about the sportsmanship recognition, Coach Mitch We didnt have any Wilcox stated, technicals, maybe that helped. It is the second straight year that the Roy school has taken both awards which county officials have concluded is some kind of feat. Its the attitude of the kids that gets us where we are, said Wilcox, There were three games that we had no business winning this year, it was the kids attitude that took us all the way. In two years Wilcox teams have compiled an impressive 23-- 1 mark The United Cerebral Palsy High School Basketball Games that have been such a huge success in the past, will be bigger and better All-St- than ever this year. In what began in 1974 as a North-Sout- h game among Utah players only, and was expanded to a Utah vs. Arizona clash in 1976, the charity contests this year will be in the form of a four-teaclassic involving team: from,;). Colorado, Nevada, ., anc Southern California as well as Utah. The games will be in late March after the high school state tournaments are over, just as they were last year. The dates chosen for this year's classic are March 28 and 29. The games will be in tournament format at 7 p.m. and 8:45 p.m. both nights. Utah will meet Nevada, while Colorado will face Southern California on Friday with winners and losers playing each other on Saturday.

The 1974 and 1975 games featured such stars as Jeff Judkins, Brett Vroman and Paul Giovachini. In 1976, the game became a Utah-Arizon- Roy 64 - Bonneville 28 with members of last years squad now performing in important roles for Coach led Smith at Roy High School.

Since then, Utah has never lost, winning the last three games behind such stars as Devin Durrant, Fred Roberts and Mike Maxwell. Were happy with our new format this year and are excited about the idea of teams from California, Nevada and Colorado coming in this year, said Totland.

There is an old cliche that says You can prove anything willi statistics," and in athletics, players are chosen, recruited, drafted or whatever, on their personal statistics, for whatever they supposedly prove. College and pro scouts are attracted to the baseballers w ho bat .506. or have an earned run average of less than 1.0. They go for big men in football, and in basketball, but there is always room for a little man, whose statistics read Speed, and agility. Someone, whose stats are 6 5 and 250 pounds, will catch the attention of a football coach, and if the man can also run the 40 yard sprints in less than 4.5 seconds, he rates a second look. If he is near seven feet tall, and can chew gum while w alking, he lures the basketball scout, but if the tall one can also make layins, block shots and-o- r dunk the ball, he gets special attention., Coaches begin keeping stats on youngsters, beginning in junior high school. Through high school, the coaches write letters, and show interest, especially after the budding star has an exceptional game. Recruiting is not a one-shdeal. Alabamas Bear Bryant was aware of Chuck Ehin when he first showed signs of greatness at a junior high school in Mobile. He follow ed the young giant through high school, at Layton High School, and had him coming to the Crimson Tide, but then lost him on the last day to BYU on the Forged Letter incident that made national headlines. Statistics are valuable in appraising a team or an athlete, but they are not infallible. A win-los- s record is impressive, but not if that team is in a weak conference or plays a patsy schedule. Weber State had one of the longest winning streaks in the nation, and made the top twenty list, hut teams like Notre Dame, Kentucky, Oregon State and even BYU who lost more games, were rated above the Wild Cats because of the teams they played. Football players from so-s- o conferences dont rate as high, as do the football powers that are always in the top ten. Brigham Young s Marc Wilson broke a basketball of local and national records, but did it on a team that barely made the top ten in the nation. Though he rewrote several national records, in passing and total offense, he finished only third in the balloting for the Heisman Trophy. Many believe that lie would have won the Heisman, had he come from a area with more exposure, and friendly sportswriters. Some questioned the caliber of football played in the WAC conference. Stats didnt put Wilson on top. A lot of statistics are kept on every athlete din football, basketball and baseball. The coaches know what their athletes are doing on the field of battle, by how many tackles he made, how many blocks, how many sacks, how many yards gained, or passes caught etc. In baseball, the player is more on his own, and is judged by hitting, stealing, and fielding Basketball is a team sport, but the player has individual shooting percentages, turnovers, rebounds, blocked shots, and assists to prove his worth. A good coach will keep charts on each of his men, and can tell at a glance what to expect of them. In all sports, statistics can be deceiving. An athlete may own a .500 bases loaded batting average, but come un glued in a critical two-ousituation. Or he may be the best shooter on the team, but get a Steel Elbow" when the game can be won or lost on his last second shot. He may drop an easy one in the end zone, because of the pressure on his performance. Game statistics can be misleading. The team with fewer hits, may win the baseball game. A football team may double its opponent in ai ds gained and still end up on the short end of the final score. A basketball team may lead in all the stats, but the one on the scoreboard. Ive seen a lot of games won from the line, and justly so. Coaches, players and fans may cry Foul, when the stats show that one team made more points from the field, only to lose the game from the foul n defense line, but consider this. Some teams play aggressive and that calls for more physical contact with opposing players. When those players step to the line for a free-throthey have been denied a chance to shoot from the field, but may get two points from the line. On the other hand, a team doesn't commit as many fouls. Simple statistics don't always tell it as it is. Statistics can be misleading in other ways. So much depends on who is playing against whom, and how did an athlete sleep last night. Was he feeling well in the game, and a hundred other variables that might determine his level of play. Athletes are not machines and should not be treated as such. They can be flat or play over their heads. T'he old saying about, Any team, on any given day can beat any other team, is not fiction. T'he performance of a machine can be predicted to a high degree of accuracy, but a human machine is not that perfect. Dont get down on your special hero, when he doesnt play up to par, because you don't know the problems he may have encountered that day or week. And dont rely too heavily on statistics, unless you want to b disappointed. Statistics are a valuable tool to predict the outcome in athletics, but they can surely fool you sometimes. more-populate- d t, free-thro- man-to-ma- Youth center sets meeting Hill Air Force Base Youth Center is sponsoring a youth baseball and softball program once again, for dependant military children.
