Show V I tal D D By DAVE WIGHAM Since two games involving county schools went into overtime, and since many fans didnt know what was going on, 1 decided to mention in my column what happens if the game ends in a tie. y THE CAPTAINS meet in the middle of the field all over again and a coin toss ensues. The winner of the flip decides if he wants to play offense or defense first. The other team then decides which end of the field they play on. Each team is then given four downs from the ten yard line in which to score. Its just like a regular game, if a touchdown is scored then the extra point is kicked, or they can go for two if they want. AFTER THE one team has had a chance to score, the d line and they attempt to other gets the ball on the score, in four plays. If no one scores the first time they then flip a coin again and the process starts all over again. ten-yar- A new truck was added to the fleet of the Clearfield Post Office just to haul the Hill AFB mail. Postal operations for Hill AFB changed recently from Ogden Office to Clearfield. 5-t- HEW TRUCK NEEDED A TEAM can choose to kick a field goal, like the Layton team did last week, which counts the regular three points like in a game situation. Each team must have the same amount of chances to score. If the first team scores on their possession, the second team still gets their opportunity to score. If the first team fails and the second team scores, then the game is over. I LIKE this procedure, it makes for an exciting finish. No one likes to go home with a tie. It probably wouldnt matter in the games if there was a tie, in fact a tie would probably have been a fitting ending to the is a game, but for league play the good rule. n By DAVE W1GHAM One thing you can never say about the Viewmont football coaches. They dont schedule any patsies. First they took on East, a team which is one of the schools best in years. And now this week they get the task of facing defending champion Skyline High. THEIR opening games Viewmont was downed by East while the Skyline club was beating a good Roy High club IN 28-0- . Coaches point to several mental mistakes that led to the Vikes downfall this past week. First of all, on a punting situation, a roughing-the-kicke- r penalty hurt the Vikes, then on a passing down they roughed the passer. Both were mental errors of enthusiasm. THE GAME actually wasnt as bad as the scoie would indicate. After three periods the for East. In the score was final minutes of the game the Vikes took some gambles that didn't pay off, which led to other Leopard scores. Practice games are a time to 6-- experiment; there might come a time in season action when the Vikes will have to go for the yardage on fourth down, now they have had some practice in game situations. Besides whats the difference if you get beat in a affair by COACH JONES was pleased n 19-0- ? with the efforts of senior Tod Jones in the game, both offensively and defensively. Also he pointed out that quarterback Kevin Hess had a good day throwing, completing around 50 percent of his throws. East has a fine club. They should do well in their region this season; their coach indicated this was one of his better teams, noted Coach Monte Jones. THIS WEEK thourh the Vikes face the powerful Skyline club. A club which went 12-- last year and won the state title. They lost five starters off of that club. They are loaded. But before you write the Vikings off completely, 0 remember it was a last minute touchdown last year that won the game for Skyline as they came from behind to beat Viewmont. So the Vikes have been known to be rough on is ianfts Face Skyline. CERT AINLY with these two pre-seaso- n games with a couple of Salt Lake powers, the Viewmont players will be more than ready for their league opener against Weber the next week. Last week the Vikes had problems containing a speedster from East and this week they'll have to contend with a powerful fullback named Ken Wadsworth. Wadsworth is a senior who played on last years club. ill. taues By DAVE WIGHAM Bountiful-Davis The matchup this Friday on the Brave field pits a winner from last week and a loser, but dont let that mislead you. THE BRAVES took a Just like last week the DEFENSIVELY the Darts seemed to send their linebackers up the middle a lot against Layton to try to offset their offense. Bountiful is known for their screen passes to spoil this strategy. Year after year the coaches Jay Cullimore and Paul Waite wage one of the best mental battles in high school ball. Each dips into their wealth of knowledge and experience to try to outwit the other. smaller than their opponents, but as they proved last week, size doesnt seem to bother them. After a close call at the hands of their rival Davis, the Layton Lancers will travel to West High to do battle with the always tough Panthers. IN THEIR opening game the Panthers were lucky to come away with a win over Sky View. The Bobcats 13-1- 2 served notice that they shouldnt be taken lightly by the Region One teams this season. their opening encounter the Lancers had to come from behind to tie the score 7 with the Darts. Then in the third overtime period the Lancers' Jim Smith cooly kicked a field goal to win the game. In 7-- DURING THE game the Layton squad showed some of the signs of brilliance that has them as one of the favorites in Region One. From the 30 to 30 lines the Lancers seemed to move the ball, but inside the 30, Layton was plagued with bad luck. If anyone had any doubt about the power of Maurice Turner as a runner he laid them to rest Friday night. Time after time Dart tacklers tried to bring this fullback to the ground but he kept his balance and just kept going. For the Lancer to beat West, Maurice will have to have another good game. yard WHEN HE needed to, Ben Bubak proved to the fans that he could throw the ball and Rick Snow has the hands to catch the ball. Todd Stapley also had a good game last week and he could prove to be the key to the Lancer fate this season. Davis had some of Davis Ladies: Time For Volleyball ladies County fall volleyball will begin the season this month. Glenda Davis Rigby, county recreation director announced.

Sam Gallegos was a pain to the Davis runners all night; he is so quick to come up to make the tackle on the Layton defense will have to improve in order to keep the potent West passing attack at bay. One tough note for the Lancers and their fans, center Chuck Ehin suffered a sprained ankle in the final minutes of the Davis game and is questionable for the West encounter. WHEN IT counted the defense was up to the sweeps. DAVIS WAS able to get some of their receivers open throughout the night, the Lay-to- n task, they were pushed by the Dart offense at times but when they needed to stop the Davis squad they did. All in all for an opening game the Lancers performed well. They will need to improve in their finishing touch on offense, they move well up to the defensive line then seem to run into problems. Defensively they need to patch up their pass defense. Davis had men open in their game, although the Lancers did intercept a couple of passes in the overtimes. d Woods Cross Defeats BearHSeM organ IniSOHe resit Top FaUcms If By DAVE WIGHAM By DAVE WIGHAM As is customary at many high school football opening games the defense seems to know what theyre doing while the offense seems to be struggling a little. SUCH WAS the case with the Clearfield team as they downed a stubborn, and impressive, Hillcrest bunch from Salt Lake City. The win was especially sweet for new head man Brent Hancock. Every coach dreams of winning their opening game at a new school and thats just what happened to the new Falcon mentor. WITH ONLY about three weeks to prepare a club for an opening game, plus the fact that it was an entirely new offensive to learn for the Falcon players, its tough for a club to look crisp with the ball. Clearfield did show that once they catch on to the new system, theyll be as tough as anyone in the new league. Brian Johnson showed no signs of a knee injury suffered a year ago as he moved the club effectively. Its tough to keep a good man down and Brian played on defense for a couple of plays. Hes only going to do that in crucial situations. HILLCREST scored first on what could be considered a lucky break. The Huskies threw a pass goalward, the defensive man for the Falcons was right where he was supposed to be, but somehow when he jumped to intercept the ball he missed it and the Huskie end took in the pass and walked into the end zone. Clearfield then tied the score with a sustained drive in which Trussed and Wilson took turns churning up the yardage. The Falcons were aided by a roughing-the-passcall, and a nice pass from Johnson to his tight-en- d Kevin Jameson, who was all alone, the play was good for fifteen key yards. They scored the winner in the second half when they controlled the game. Last Friday up in the small town of Morgan, history was set in two categories when the Woods Cross football team came up with a victory over the Morgan squad. THE FIRST Wildcat touchdown, in a varsity game, came early in the game when quarterback Jeff Ostler threw a DEFENSIVELY the Falcons were stingy on the run but did show signs of weakness on they secured the game with a safety to win their first ever football game as a school. the pass defense. Hillcrest seemed to get men open all day in the first half, the second half the Falcons secondary tightened up considerably. Big Bob Berrera gave the Huskie runners fits all day playing from his nose guard spot. Big Bob was being double and triple teamed most of the day but when the stats are added up he will have been in or around a lot of tackles. ANOTHER standout for the Falcons, on offense and the goal line defense, was Curtis Kawaguchi. From his tackle spot he created some big holes and was instrumental on a goaline stand just before the half that stopped the Huskies just short of another score. Offensively the Falcons got some good performances from their two running backs. Nothing spectacular about Wilson and Trussell but they always seem to get the job done. THIS WEEK they travel up to do battle with the Idaho Falls club. This Rame could prove interesting as neither has seen the other. If the Falcons continue to improve this week, then they'll be ready for their opening league game the following week with Layton. 8-- scoring pass to speedster Gregg Tuttle. Then later on Indeed the Wildcat fans didn't have to wait long for their first score as it came in the first quarter of action. In fact some of their fans missed the initial tally. We didnt get to the game until fifteen minutes after it had started and they had already scored, said Bill Ostler, Jeffs father. THE Trojans got their only score on a field goal just before the half. In the second half the Wildcats had been stopped on the Morgan one yard line; then on first down the Trojans attempted a sweep around the right side but the entire left line of the Wildcats stopped the ball carrier in their own end zone for the safety. Although the Wildcats have no seniors, while the Trojans had around fifteen of them, it was the concensus of those present that the Woods Cross team was bigger. RUNNING backs Dave Powell and Stu Egan had good days especially with the draw play. Ostler had been having such success with the pass that every time he went back he was under a heavy rush which made the draw play very ef- fective. This week the Woods Cross club goes after win number two with the foe being Lehi. Bountiful did give up a kickoff runback for a touchdown and the Darts showed last week they have some top runners returning kicks. 10-- 7 their players going wherever Turner went, that left Stapley open and he has to take some of the pressure off of Turner. ONE problem for the Dart defense will be the task of second guessing the Braves offense. Last week the Darts stopped the Layton running game when they needed to, but the Braves are known to throw a lot more than Layton, so the Darts will have to deal a lot more with both aspects of the offense. Davis had quite a bit of success with either Keith Malnar or Matt Gregory carrying the ball. Especially noteworthy was the Darts success in getting around the end which will be a main concern of Braves ends Scott and Crowther Brian Slagowski. Quarterback Ryan Hill also showed a great throwing arm for the Darts last week which makes the Dart offense even more effective. BOUNTIFUL is always THE SQUADS both know what the other likes to do, nothing is new, the key is execution. The game is at Bountiful which has to be a plus for the Braves. Last year these Brave juniors only lost one game in the J.V. league, that was to Davis which gives the Darts the knowledge they can win, but also gives the Bountiful seniors an added incentive to win. Each year these two teams go head to head with the outcome not known until the final moments; this year promises to be another tight game. known for their mixture of the run-pas- s Clearfield offense and with Chris Davies at the helm this year the Braves and Coach Paul Waite mix these two very well. Dave Lloyd of Davis had a Peoples Party To Nominate fine game against Layton running pass routes and catching the ball, the Braves will have to keep an eye on this flanker. Another receiver for the Darts to watch is number 87, Troy Howard, who is a large target for the quarterback.

ANYONE see some footballs flying through the air. To say the Lehi team likes to pass would be like saying Joe Namath has bad knees. Both statements are very true. THIS shouldnt bother the Cats too much as they showed against the Morgan club they can play defense, whether it be running or passing. This is the last practice game for the Cats before they get into the region battle and a possible state tournament berth. Not many people give them much of a chance to be in those playoffs but then not many thought they would beat Morgan. Keep in mird the Morgan squad was a 2A school while the Cats, and Lehi are in the 3A ranks.
