Show t I WEEKLY REFLEX DAVIS NEWS JOURNAL, FEBRUARY 21, 1980 21, 1980 NORTH DAVIS LEADER, FEBRUARY Layton Battles Weber Bv DAVE Granted most LAYTON people wmuld have thought that this late in region action the Weber club would be involved in a big game to determine the champion but how many would have thought they would be playing Layton. THIS IS the same Lancer school that lost everyone from their club of a year ago that finished fourth in state, which was the highest place ever for ; the Layton people. Then too the Lancers were slow starters in practice outings only to burst onto the scene when the league action began. Then after w inning four in a row the Lancers lost a cou-- j l pie and seemed to be again. Time to gut it up and play hard basketball-whicis just what they did and now they find themselves heading into the game with Weber with first place on the For Lmietss lolajot Horn By DAVE WIGHAM - CLEARFIELD More than likely Coach Craig Hansen has already told his club to put last week's loss to Layton completely out of their minds. Forget it even happened and concentrate on the matters at hand. . THOSE MATTERS are in the form of Sky View as the Bobcats come into town for a Region One battle this Friday. After last weeks action the Falcons sport a 4 record which is identical to their opponents. Sky View enters the game with a win over Bonneville this past week while Clearfield comes in licking their wounds after a thrashing at Layton. Some teams seem to have a jinx over others and such is the case when the two northern 4-- Davis County Clubs get together. IN THEIR first meeting the Falcons traveled up north and came away with a big win on the Bobcats home floor and the Cache Valley crew would like nothing better than to return that favor this week. One never knows what will happen in a high school basket- bail game and any coach will testify to that fact. A week ago the Falcon coaches were confident about their game with Layton, they were ready mentally. Somehow though they came out as flat as one team can get and were never really in the game from the opening tipoff. They did make a mild run in the third period but for all purposes the game was over. , THAT CAN only mean one thing as far as the Clearfield people are concerned. They went after it hard in practice all week and are anxious to get after someone again. The Bobcats are up for that honor. Coach Hansen has built a lot of pride into this program and the Falcons will come out fighting made to rectify the loss. Sky View comes into the game with the highest point production in the league. Unfortunately for them though they are also giving up more heading-downhil- h points per outing than any other region club. In fact the Falcons have given up 57 less points in region games than have the Bobcats. Defense is a good word around Clearfield. BIGGEST PROBLEM BOTH CLUBS enter the game with league records,, two full games ahead of the next teams. Layton leads the league, at least is tied with Clearfield, in defense as far as points allowed is concerned. 6-- 2 fac- of the Bobcats up front. Not neccesarily in the height department but the Sky View Headclub is big weight-wising the list is forward Rand Hendricks, who had a game high 19 points in the win over Bonneville. The Cats are well balanced though as Eddie Benson and Jon McKenna, who also both scored in double figures. These two have been starters for several years and know what it takes to win.

Last week the Tigers handed these Davis players their second league loss and in the process kept SALT LAKE CITY Individual competitors from the Davis County schools fared well at the state wrestling meet as they claimed a total of five state championships. TEAM-WISthe Layton club came away with the best showing with a third place finish in the 4A team chase. Over in the 3A race the Davis Darts were fourth. Woods Cross was fifth and Viewmont finished seventh. The Wildcats of Woods Cross claimed the most individual championships as both Jeff Lewis and Jason Whitney topped off undefeated seasons with first place efforts in their respective weights. Jeff won his championship match in great shape taking a lopsided 24-- 7 victory while Jason won 7 t. over Craig Cook of 14-- View-mon- THE ONLY other Wildcat to place in the top six was Jeff Olson who placed sixth in the 145 pound class. Davis was led by their state champion Roger Parsell who won the tough 126 pound class to top off a great season. Three other Darts lost one match but then came back to claim third place, Gregg Schuller at 167. Robert Steed at 185 and Jon Warden in the heavyweight division. THAT MEANT that the county schools finished in the 185 pound division, with the top two being seniors and Steed, a sophomore, things look bright for this Dart in the future. Rounding out the team effort for the Davis crew was Gard VanAnthwerp, a fourth at 132, Eric Porter a fifth at 145, and sixth place finishes from Andy Thompson at 145 and Robert Johnson at 155. i , r VIEWMONTS efforts were led by a great performance from James Larkin who won the title at 138 pounds. Larkin was not considered a favorite in this weight but he wrestled well and came up the winner. Craig Cook got to the finals at 185 only to fall to Whitney of Senior Kevin Freestone came back strong after dropping a match in the opening round to claim fourth at 155 and junior Kevin Ball was sixth at 119. BOUNTIFUL was represented in the final six by junior Chris Merrill who placed fifth in the tough 126 class. Chris lost a very close match by one point in the semifinals or he could have won the title. Only a junior he returns next season to improve his standings. In the 4A competition the Lancers of Layton were seeking a state crown to go along with their region championship but they fell a little short although several wrestlers had good tournaments. DWAINE Martinsen gave them their only individual title by winning the crown in the 138 pound class. Lance Olesen placed second in the 26 pound weight dropping a close match in the finals. Placing third for the squad was Kurt Gallegos at 19 and Gary Christiansen at 167. Fourth place awards were 1 1 won by James Suitt at heavyweight, Steve Kittrell at 155 and Paul Dupaix at 98. Robbie Zamora was fifth at 105 as was Brian Brown at 145. Clearfield was headed by a fourth place finish from Blake McMillan in the 145 pound weight. Other Falcons to place in the meet were Steve Ulibar-r- i, a fifth at 98 and Alvin Bronson, a sixth at 126. COACH MIKE Hansen of the Layton club was also selected as the Outstanding Coach by his peers in the 4A ranks. Mike guided the Lancers to the region title and their third place state finish.

More importantly though was the defense of the Lancers who caused the normally poised Falcons to take bad shots. Weber meanwhile was relying on their now famous duo of Drew Skeen and Kelly Johnson who combined for 41 points between them in their twelve point win over Roy. The Warriors are strong inside with muscle and have some excellent outside shooters in the likes of Van Fuller. Theirgame plan is to work hard inside, battle on the boards and get the fast break going. THE LANCERS will have to get a good performance from the up front people. Lee. Owens and Sackett will have to hold their own in the rebounding department. Then the guardline will have to play close to stop the outside shooting touch of the Warriors. Offensively the Lancers need to get the ball out fast and get some points from the forwards. Rebounding will be the key in this outing, he who gets the most will win the game. coaches and scorekeepers.

By PETER FJUTCHIE speculation centers on the question whether the Pittsburgh Steelers are the best pro football in the history of the game. A good case can be made that they are. They are the only team to have won four Superbowls. THERE ARE doubters because Terry Bradshaw is probably not the best quarterback in the games history. Bradshaw? is one of the best. Yet even in the recent victory over L. A.', he threw the ball straight into enemy hands three times. The case for the Steelers is based on the fact that they have so many great players on both offense and defense. Because of this, its very hard to look back over pro football history and find a team their equal. JOHN Stallworth, who made two incredible catches Jan. 20 and Lynn Swan, may be as good as any two receivers ever. The defensive line, Joe Green and all. backed by Jack Lambert, may be as good as any. The running game and the offensive line may not be quite up to other team strengths, though good. Thus, the team as a whole might well be the best ever.
