Lloyds explosive play in the latter half of the season paced the Darts to a seventh place finish in state. 3-- A By KEITH DUNCAN For Coach Mike Gardner and Lynn Lloyd of Davis High, another long, long basketball season has finally come to rest. I'm glad its over, said Gardner with a sigh. ITS NOW time to sit back, catch a breather, and reflect back on a season filled with unforgettable highs and lows. Added all up, the Darts finished the 1980-8- 1 season in admirable fashion by finishing seventh in state and playing their kind of basketball in the final two games. "I havent had much time to reflect back on all of it, but in trying to identify the most valuable points and things, its difficult to skip over the play of Lynn Lloyd," said Gardner. LLOYD WASNT our number one scorer and in fact didn't lead us in scoring that many times, but talk about said Gardner in consistency, reflection. "He was always a mainstay on our ballclub. Lloyd was equiped with everything in the second half of the season, including some valuable leadership traits that carried the Darts through some tedious times. He was always topping the rebound charts and eventually ended up leading the Darts in rebounding over the season. months from Davis, but his heroic efforts during his three years in Dart uniforms will live on in the hearts of many Dart fans. Whether quarterbacking the football squad, snaring rebounds in basketball or dazzling tennis opponents during the spring, Lloyd is being remembered by his coaches as a "non-quitte- r. JUST A good kid, said Hes one of those Gardner, types with some natural ability and a lot of guts. The kind that every coach wants, but seldom gets. Lloyd played steady basketball through the just completed state basketball tournament and helped Davis to a seventh place finish in state. The Darts ended up being the only team north of Salt Lake to finish among the top eight in state. THE STAR Dart will now take a tennis racquet in hand and continue in his third year on the Davis courts. I dont think I ever really got serious about tennis until the ninth grade, he said, Its relaxing after a football and basketball year. Several junior colleges have appeared interested in Lloyds services next fall on their respective gridirons, but to this date he has still to make a final decision. THE DONT forget his assists," said Gardner, "he made some passes that many wont be able to forget."

"The win gave us a lot of confidence, especially Handicapped, Elderly Face Cutback In Transportation FARMINGTON Independent van service for the elderly and severely handicapped faces eventual extinction unless Davis County officials can pursuade the Utah Transit Authority to continue installing wheelchair lifts on their buses. AFTER LEARNING that the U.S. Department of Transportation is considering removing a mandate requiring transit systems to install the wheelchair lifts, Com. Ernest Eberhard told fellow commissioners the change will severely cripple service to the countys handicapped and elderly. In a letter addressed to UTA Pres. W. Hughes Brockbank, the county commission asks the transit authority not to exclude the wheelchair lifts. THE LETTER states that the county commissioners feel that "because of the difficulty some handicapped persons have in maneuvering from their home to a bus stop, transportation is a necessity, as well as a much door-to-do- native m e a ns o f transp ortation for the severely handicapped. COM. EBERHARD told a small audience Tuesday the county believes handicapped people should have access to the transit system. The three commissioners voiced strong support for the repeal of the wheelchair lift mandate. COM. EBERHARD said the availability of transit access in Davis County has been an important asset to the countys elderly and handicapped. The letter is signed by Com. Eberhard, Harry B.

We only had one problem and seemed our ability to overcome some mental lapses. The end of the season told that story. We played great and beat Judge but suffered one of those unexplainable lapses and lost to West. But always . High School. Ogden took first place, Box Elder took second and Davis third.

The family moved to Kaysville just before Lynn was to enter the ninth grade. If hed not come to Davis, the bright young star would have performed at Bonneville. I m glad we moved and so is my dad, said Lloyd, "My father knew the coaches here and felt they were some of the best around." The Lloyds moved to Kaysville because it took Chris closer to his place of work. In wrapping up the season in a sentence or two, Gardner said he was pleased but also thought his team would be much stronger. WE FINISHED 1 and seventh in state and the only team to finish in the tournament with four games north of Salt Lake," said Gardner, "And you have to feel somewhat proud of that. In commenting about his 14-1- junior scoring ace, Brian Taylor, Gardner said Taylors 108 points in four games was incredible. EVERY TEAM set up their defenses to guard against Taylor and continually he pumped in 25 points a game. Hes the type of player you get to coach maybe twice in a lifetime. Hes the best passer Ive ever coached. "Brians court savy is what makes him the player he is and well look forward to having him back next season, said Gardner. Spring is here!
