It was the third quarter and Wardens 86 Davis High team was ahead a mere 0 over the Weber 7-- Warriors. The Warriors, aware that a touchdown would almost shut the door on them. York Hill takes the snap and hands off to Warden and the touchdown is history, along with a 14-- 0 lead. Then with 3:25 left in the game Warden and Davis leading 14-stays back again after the huddle disassembled. Again it was Hill who took the handoff and again it was Warden who rambled three yards this time and another touch- - down. Weber was dead. Weber found out what so many other teams will find out this year, that Warden is one disruptive force that can cause trouble on either side of the football. Hes a good one," said WA real ebers Rod Bockwoldt, 7, troublemaker. Weber dismantled Davis wins, back on track By -- season-opene- r.

Can Vikes stop Layton speed. yards against Clearfield is any Continued from previous poge same duty for four years. Last season the Granger defense allowed only 63 points total through the season and playoffs. Hes aggressive and its rubbing off on his players. Burningham, a two year starter now, may give Layton a look on offense that they may not be ready for. Hes gotten better in a year and if his 10 for 14 passing with 241 in- dication of things to come, Laytons secondary will have their hands full. He also had no interceptions. Jim Bender carries the ball hard, scoring both of Vicwmonts touchdowns in the first week of play. Layton will be agood challenge for us, said Hatch, In fact a darn good challenge. "People are looking for Bountiful to challenge seriously for our region title down here and for them to go up to Layton and have 3K points on them, is a bit intimidating. And Bountiful is usually a good fundamentally sound team. So were hading into the game with every thought Layton is a very good football team. It will be interesting when these two teams tangle. Layton was in form against the Braves and fans wonder il there mid-seaso- n might be letdown the seconil week. Viewmonl on the other hand made the typical mistakes most prep teams make early in the season and theyre bound to get belter. Hatch was happy that both of his touchdowns came from long offensive drives, scores that werent given to (hem. The Viking coach wis happy that a few kids have risen up to be good receivers. Bender had over 100 yards in receiving. Theres no question well have to stop Laytons runners," said Hatch. "If they get in the sccon dary itll be like little birds chasing the mouse. Our purpose will be to stop their runners in the first live yards, weve got to." maybe the thing that keeps me wearing Viking uniforms and having to yell Vikings in our huddle, made me sick. But I wanted to get some more playing time in, so I had to do what I had to do. The only thing I got to keep from the team was my hat. But its got a V on it so Ill never wear it isnt an easy task. I tournament. Again Warden proves hes a troublemaker for the opposition, leaving a trail of ruin and disrup- 21-- Things arent always easy," In fact in practice said Warden, sometimes I get real tired. But champs, has respect not only from opposing coaches, but from his own as well. Jim Dickson, Davis third year head man, remembered the time when he gained the most respect. It was clearly last wrestling season, said Dickson, As most people knew, we had Roger Horne at heavyweight, Blake Hart at 185 and still we had to find a place for Rob who weighed 200 pounds and was a heck of a wrestler himself. The only thing he could do was to lose 30 some odd pounds and fit in at 167. I dont need to tell any- h, one, that KAYSVILLE - Were a long ways from being a great football team, but the best thing is that the kids realize that, said Davis Jim Dickson after his club dismantled Weber 7 in the season opener for both clubs. Its the fundamentals that eventually lead to championships and weve got our work cut out in tying some things down. Things like sustaining blocks, good tackling and little but important things like that. Once we got those items down pat, well be a solid football team, continued Dickson who for the third straight year as a head coach has been successful in winning the Davis gets their second crack at working on the fundamentals this Friday afternoon at 4 p.m. when they travel to play the Ben Lomond Scots. Theres no doubt about it, the Dart players are known around the state for their knowledge of the game. And theres little question that the 86 crew is just as eager to learn. Last Friday night against the defending state champions, d Dicksons team showed signs of greatness against a football team. But the head coach also noticed areas for tremendous improvement. lead at halftime, but it could have been Davis held a slim more had some costly penalties been avoided. In all five penalon the Darts, three of which were very ties were One a denied touchdow, another a change of possession costly. and still another cost them a first down. Those penalties, our mistakes, could have made the game a in the first half, said Dickson. different lot The signs of greatness however, did accentuate the positive. was on track again with seniors Rob Warden The double-win- g and Curtis Stoddard tearing up the turf. Warden ended up scoring all three of Davis touchdowns, while running the ball 26 times for 19 yards. Stoddard carried 14 times for 76 yards. Warden had a solid game all the way around, collecting a pass interception on defense as well. The Darts were pleased also with the efforts of Jason Citte in the defensive secondary with his two interceptions. One of Cittes steals came in the second half when Weber was But that marching downfield to try to knot the score at a off he when never came to pass pass in the alertly picked Weber end zone. We played a very good football team, said Dickson. Theres no question in my mind they will be a contender in their region. Thats why we feel good about the victory. Rob Allred gave Davis the most fits, ultimately carrying the ball 21 times for 101 yards and scoring Webers only touchdown. Allred helps give Weber the makings of a great football team, said Dickson. York Hill took the nod as the starting quarterback and accordI ing to Dickson did well, maybe even better than what thought He with 67 for Hill three was passing. yards he would. eight had one interception. Some praise needs to be heaped on the offensive line for their opening the holes for Stoddard and Warden. Tyler Hoskins, Brandon Dyer, Lincoln Dygert, Brett Harvey, Brooke Pitt, Alan Armstrong, Scott Bates and Cory Sondrup all contributed in one way or another to the win over Weber High. s. none-the-les- going is remembering back on last wrestling season and how hard I worked to lose those pounds and still being a good wrestler. Those thoughts make football gained a lot of respect for him for doing what he could for the best of the team. But thats just the kind of kid Warden is, hell do what he can to help the team win. Funny thing is, Warden not only lost all that weight but he succeeded in going on and winning the Region Four title and finished a very respectable third in state, losing only one match during the state KEITH DUNCAN basic football terrorist. Against Weber he carried the ball 26 times for 119 yards and three touchdowns. A lethal weapon Warden, a kinda relaxed guy off the playing surface who isnt full of a bunch of rah-radoesnt mind being called a troublemaker in the sense that opposing coaches say it. I just love Davis High and competing for the brown and gold, I have to do whatsaid Warden, ever is possible to defeat the opponent. Doing whatever is possible comes from both his fullback position on offense and from the linebacker stance ond efense. Warden, who definitely will be one of the primary cogs in Davis chances to repeat as region NO ONE IS better qualified to protect the winning tradition at Davis High than senior Rob Warden. Hes a terrorist on the gridiron, playing with little mercy. classified by the opposition as your tion. Rob is also trying to follow a trail of respectability left behind by his own brothers. Already there has been three brothers come through this school, David, Jon and James, all of which played football for the brown and gold. And Dickson, who has seen all three previous brothers play there, commented, Rob isn't letting the traditions down and for a good reason too. He works hard. Hes intense. He puts his head down and gets after it as much as anyone weve got. Warden, who started on defense for most of his junior year, claims its fun this year to be playing on both sides of the ball. You feel your worth increases the more you can contribute. When I can stop someone from getting a first down and then turn around and get a first down myself, that's the ultimate, he said. At 2 and 205, Warden is a workhorse runner who could be 6-- Distance Ace returns home COLORAO SPRINGS. COLO. Kurt Black, 17, of Kaysville, traveled to the Miller High U.S. Olympic Training Center at Colorado Springs for a junior elite distance training camp, I. July The camp gathered over 40 of the top junior distance runners in the country for four days of training, lectures and counseling about racing strategy, running form, cross training, flexibility, steeple-chas- e technique, recruiting and sports psychology. The staff for the training camp included a sports psychologist, a podiatrist and several of the top collegiate distance coaches in the nation. Goodwill Games and Penn Stale Head Coach Harry Groves led the staff. A freshman at Weber State University in Ogden, Black won the Utah Slate cross country meet and 3200m title last year before graduating from Davis High School.

There may be kids on this football team who respect Davis High as much as Warden does, but none more. This past summer he competed with a few of his fellow Davis High teammates on an American Legion baseball team that had to be outfitted with Viewmont High baseball uniforms. I Hey, love to compete, but anyplace. Terrorists are usually pretty loyal too, and this one is no diffe- rent. On this years football team, Warden knows there is a lot of room for improvement for himself. I can still vividly remember some mistakes I made in my blocking that caused Weber to get out of the hole we had them in. But I'll get better, he said. Hed like to go out each night and have a game like he had against Granger in the playoffs last fall. He blocked punts during that game and did just about everything else brilliant. I have to thank Coach Dickson for that showing, said Warden, He called the plays on defense and it just seemed like he called me to the right gap every single time. It was weird. Warden feels comfortable on defense, not only because hes prepared to play it, but because his best friend Clint Allen plays the other linebacker position. We work well together, he said. Warden and Allen might be the two strongest on the team. Right now Warden is bench pressing over 300 pounds and getting better all the time. Allen is right behind him. Rob not only terrorizes gridirons, but loves to make trouble on the wrestling mat as well as the baseball field. He calls wrestling torture and baseball a second love to football. Warden, who batted in the cleanup spot for the legion team last summer, can pound the baseball hard. Many say hell go on further in baseball, maybe even further than the kid himself realizes. But wherever he is. look for trouble to be brewing. Said Bockwoldt. Holy Cow. hes a menace."
