By DAVE WIGHAM had its problems and is currently at Like many of the Legion teams, the Layton squad has had problems in getting their players to all the games Either injuries, vacations or work schedules have played a major role in the Layton record. 3-- It Only Takes 1 Bad One To Spoil It All at Davis High, July 16, the and Viewmont Layton American Legion teams will Hopefully this article isn't too late to hit at home to some of the adults reading it Ever since I was involved as a coach in the Little League program, whether it be baseball or football, I found that many of the adults didnt have the kids m mind when they made some decisions By DAVE WIGHAM gets mad at me, let me assure you there are many adults who would and who do anything for the kids placing But in this case it only takes onebad one to spoil all the efforts of the good ones. r When it comes dow n to the time when an team should be selected, the adults turn it into a circus. At one time I thought the only solution would be either to let the kids pick the team or not pick one at all All-Sta- THATS RIDICULOUS! If the laM place team has more than one good player, why punish the kid for being on a Then again Ive seen some years when you have to stretch the imagination to get three or four players off of one team True, for the most part, the championship team will probably hae more good players than the others, but it still isnt right to say outright four members of this team wall be r Fvery team doesnt have to have a player on the I used on a rotten to that Id squad. hope get put team thinking my chances of making the elite team at the end were better s All-Sta- THE BIGGEST gripe I had, and still have, is the old stand by that he was an last year routine Why then have a selection process, just pick an team when the kids are nine and then they can be the stars for the next five years. If a new kid moves into towm, or another player gets better, thats tough, he wasnt a star the year before. Maybe this article is a little dramatic to some people, but believe me those parents w'ho have had kids play organized ball knew what Im talking about. All-St- All-St- 1 Football Season: Just Around The... By DAVE WIGHAM With August just around the corner the high school athle'es are starting to think about the coming football year And in the area, Davis County, there is a lot of talent on the horizon EACH AND every school has a standout returning from last years football program, including the new child, Woods Cross, who jump into the fire of varsity action this ASIDE FROM being the field general on Brian also anchors offense, a stubborn Falcon defense from his linebacker spot Layton has a couple state championship squad but with the likes of Ryan Hill returning, the Darts could be tough again as always. As one of the Dart coaches mentioned, Ryan could be the best quarterback in the state next year if he wants to Hill can throw the ball and likes to run with it as well, and in that double wing offense, that spells trouble. BOUNTIFULS Chris Davies saw limited action as a quarterback last season but he saw enough action to impress Coach Waite. Davies could be in for a fight for the starting spot though as junior lyn Muir could battle the senior for the signal calling of big Chuck Ehin. Maurice has the speed needed to go outside and the power to run up the middle. Turner has the potential to be one of the top running backs in the state this year. Viewmont returns their two 7h German brown trout, caught by Max H. Mifflin, was weighed at Bowmans Market in Kaysville one hour after being caught. The catch was 24 inches long, and was caught above Taggarts on the Ulcher River in Welter County on a green lure.

Its likely that Coach Jones w'dl swotch one of them to another position to utilize their full potential Hess probably saw' more playing time and has been working hard on his passing, while Fgan will probably be moved to a receiver spot and Scot Kinear. CROSS WOODS isnt without their star either, as one of the best all around athletes in the area, Jeff Ostler, will be at the Wildcat school. shoulder operation has been healing for all summer and wmrd is that Jeff is ready to go, come football. A top notch running back this little speedster could surprise quite a few people, come football season.

The local game warden is standing with a confused novice angler trying to explain that there is no such fish as a creel. JOKING aside, however, conservation officers do conduct a regular creel census to determine fishing pressure and the resultant success. Many anglers wonder why conservation officers, after checking for a valid fishing license, ask how many fish have been caught and how long the fishermen have been at it and then proceed to write down the information because 531-80- 01 smsms 9 a.m.-- 5 p.m. Mon.-Fr- i.
