"Its an offense with a lot of misdirection and an offense that can give the defense a lot of different looks. Some people might think it's something like Davis Highs double wing, but it is different. I believe last season we got better as things wore on and as the kids got to learn the offense, we were more competitive. We were in every game, said the assistant coach. This fall the coach feels his kids will have basics down and will be a -- stands naked without General in front of it and if you got to know Layton Highs (Tom) Moore, its about the same kind of thing without Coach plopped in front of it. And dont leave Coach Moore unattached to football, the two of them were born together. Right now Coach Moore may be one of the best things to happen to the Lancers who are trying to rebuild a once highly respected prep football program. He assists Joe Wood in the task of doing that rebuilding. Moore, who will be kicking off his second year with Layton this fall, has some football roots that dont get much deeper. The Lancer offensive coordinator was bom in the middle of the football belt (Mississippi) and played every down of his gridiron career in Tennessee. Later he went on to mentor at New nan, Ga., perhaps one of the most respected football high schools in that state. I guess an astronaut could say flying is in his veins and a printer has ink in his blood, well, I suppose I've goot football in mine, said Moore, I started playing at age 6 and 32 years later Im still messing around with the sport. Moore played as a lineman in high school and after a premiere senior year, he was selected as one of Tennessees best and opted to go to Middle Tennessee State. He was also given offers to play at some of the Southeastern Conferences biggest schools but turned them down because he wanted to play right away. At that time freshmen could not participate on the varsity level. From high school graduation until his first fall of college football, Moore went from 205 pounds to 230 pounds. Combine that weight factor with his quickness and you had a fairly good lineman playing at a nationally ranked college on the Division level. Going into college I had everything going for me, but I didnt get after it through the subsequent years and blew an opportunity to play professional football. To be a pro, youve got to really want it bad, continued Moore. Right from college, Moore jumped onto the high school coaching scene as he landed a pre- - Reflex offices closed Friday Due to the 4th of July holiday on offices Friday, the Reflex-Journin Layton will be open Thursday from p.m. for those wishing to place classified ads for the week of July 8.

Drive-In- 544-345- lot more comfortable with the TOM MOORE stigious position with Newnan High in Georgia who is coached by the fabled Max Bass. He spent the next seven years there and called his time under Bass the most in- formative and rewarding career time in my life. It wasnt required of Bass, but one thing the Newnan coaches got in the habit of doing was improving upon their knowledge of the game by attending every possible college clinic or even better just spending some personal time with some of the games greatest minds. We always went to the University of Alabama and spent hour upon hour with the coaches there learning about the wishbone offense which was big at the time. We went as far west as Texas and Texas A and M and as far north as Delaware. We just tried to go places where people were being successful with something. To me thats how a guy stays up with the game, said Moore. Moores first adventure into the head coqching ranks occurred at Bremen High, a Class A school in Georgia where he spent two seasons. It was a good experience as Moore described it but things just didnt work out. After that stint it was back to Newnan where he spent four more years as the offensive coordinator. The first year back we implemented the Delaware Wing T and became quite successful with it, said Moore. That offense, along with some fairly good football players led Newnan to a couple of appearances in the state finals. It was variations of the Delaware offense. Moore, who is quite happy to be in Utah, came to this state as a result of meeting his wife Sheila while attending a coaches clinic in Jackson Hole, Wyo. It was purely by chance, said Moore, After the clinics were over Id take her out to various places there. She had come to Jackson Hole with her sister to do a little vacationing. They took me to the airport when it was over and not long after I got home, I was on the phone to her. It wasnt long after that before I had come back to Utah and later she flew out to see me. We made the decision that one or the othe of us was going to have to move and be with the other. Well, it ended up being me. I came out to Utah in 1983 and not long after that we got married. For the first couple of years here, it was mostly substituting because nothing had opened up. I mostly did my teaching at Hillcrest High. Because things just werent opening up here, we decided to try something back in Mississippi. Sheila got a job in nursing back there and I got a head job with a school, South Jones High School. All the time we were back in Mississippi, I had kept in contact with Utah. We really wanted to make Utah our home. It just happened that one day when I called back to Utah, that I touched base with Davis County and found the opening at Layton High School. Laytons present football leadership really began to form as the administration hired Wood to be their head and Moore to be his primary assistant. Im just tickled to be here, said Moore of Layton High, It should be the start of many good years for us. A Senior citizens to dance Sat.
