All Bountiful had to do was beat them tw ice for the state crow n. They did it. This year the Braves placed third in the toughest league in the state, behind Davis and Woods Cross. Then they had to play olT w ith Pay son to ev en go to the state tournament and a chance to defend their title. They knocked off the Lions to gain entry into the double elimination affair. fin-al- s THEN IT WAS back to Orem to play powerful Orem, a earlier club they had beaten in the season. After five overtimes the Braves came away with the win. After regulation with play the score was Matt Eiting getting the goal. After one overtime it was the same, so it was after sudden death. Then in soccer it comes down to penalty shots and the Braves made three while the Tigers could only manage two. Then Bountiful faced Woods Cross, a club they had split with during the league play, and again it went into overtime. Not one, not the sudden death but even past the first penalty shot affair. So here they were in a sudden Bv DAVE . ON THE RECORD they have played two state games, but add up the minutes played and they've already played in about five games.

Thanks to Blue Cross and Blue Shield's involvement as sponsor, all our direct fund raising costs will be SOME PARENTS and coaches didn't like what was written while others were in complete agreement. So I thought I'd write another one to clear up some of their concerns, and those of some of the written critics 1 got. First of all. and 1 did it last week, let me state up front that 1 really do admire the coaches for their time and efforts. These guys don't have to spend their Saturday mornings, or w henev er the games are. w ith these kids but they do for no reward other than an occasional thanks from someone THEY COME on their own time and devote their entire efforts toward those kids. And no one appreciates them more than me. The article wasn't a put down to the coaches but just to let them know that, if needed, there is expert help available in regards to the game they are coaching. How are most of these guys called. The league president gets a list of 15 boys who are on the team and then he goes down that list one by one and asks the fathers to coach. met.

NO, IT wasn't one of Gary Hansen's rugged gridiron teams that put it there or one of Mike Hansen's fine tuned wrestling squads. Doug Moon won't take credit for it either. Though it might seem upsetting to past Layton High women's sports history, the trophy is symbolic of the finest women's basketball team in the state of Utah this past winter. APOLOGIZE to any little league coach that 1 offended with my column last week, that certainly wasn't my intent. You do a great job with the little people and I along with their parents, thank you and IT'S THE first time in the history of Lady Lancer athletics that a state crow n can be called their very own. And as a year as a w hole, the women's athletic department at Layton has produced winners in every sport from volleyball to the just completed track season. Though the Weber Warriors were far more superior than the rest of Region One. Layton was clearly the best in rest of the field last Friday at the Region track meet. appreciate your efforts.

Some where down the line he's going to have to know the rules of the game he is playing. Wouldn't it be better if he knew them right now? What's going to happen next year when he's the only player that doesn't know a certain rule? Some where along the way it's going to be assumed that he knows the rule, what if he doesnt? AN EXAMPLE TO use would be if they asked me to coach a little league ice hockey team. 1 know some of the rules about the game but not enough to coach a club. All 1 would do is contact someone knew who knows ice hockey and have them come and give me some pointers. Teach me the rules and procedures. That's not a slap in my face. 1 two excellent coaches in the little football league program. Tom Secrist up north and Terry Orachard down in Bountiful. Both of these guys know football, they played it in high school and I KNOW OF "I've done as much as I can do for girls basketball and I think I've accomplished everything I could" said Perkins who is planning to get married in June. "There is really no place for a guy to go in women's sports." THE HIGHLY successful mentor now hopes to find a position in the boys ranks and says if he doesn't that he'll come back to teach at Layton, but not to coach girls basketball. Pebbles Hare, an explosive who earned honors as an player, had the utmost respect for Perkins. "There is no question that the girls next year will miss him." she said.

KEEP UP THE good work coaches and let's use this to improve the various leagues. d e 80-8- 1 BELIEVE ME IN every sport there is a right way and a wrong way.

BUT THE team that will get most the attention in years to come w ill undoubtedly be Tom Perkins and his handful of cage stars that blitzed their competition en route to a region crow n and a coveted state title. Despite the fact the season ended weeks ago, there are few that have forgotten the season and the perfect first state championship this school has obtained since the football team did it back in This isn't the coaches problem. The leagues need to educate them. Maybe the leagues should set up the clinics with the high school people and inform those coaches who want to know. If they asked me to coach in a sport where felt comfortable then would be all right the entire article was spent telling about some of the available resources to the coaches.

Yet 1 know for a fact that Tom has talked to the Davis High coaches and Terry talked to the Bountiful coaches about different things. If they wanted to know about blocking techniques they knew where to go. Expansion is to blame for a lot of problems. Coaches are needed in every sport at a growing rate. The leagues and organizations should run clinics or at least offer the names and phone numbers of people w ho could help a poor coach w ho doesn't understand a game.
