By DAVE WIGHAM - Lay-toSALT LAKE CITY loss to Orem in the 4A quarterfinals of the state 68-6- By DAVE WIGHAM - The basketball SALT LAKE CITY Davis High gals team saved the best for last as the Darts came into the state 3A girls tournament without the big credentials and came away with a fifth place spot. FOLLOWING AN opening round loss to Tooele the gal Darts won three straight to claim the consolation title and the fifth place spot in the sixteen team affair. In that opening round game the Davis five got off to a terrible start, only scoring three points in the first period and then only adding four more before the half. Once they got the jitters out of their system though, the Darts came on strong to give the Tooele club all they wanted. BARBARA GREEN led the scoring with 19 for the Darts but she didnt get any help from her friends. Davis made a game out of it by pouring in 24 points in the second half and almost catching the Tooele club. Davis then faced Timpview in a battle of first-roun- d losers and again the Dart gals showed their poise and pride by coming away with a thrilling victory over the Thunderbirds. THE DARTS trailed most of the game, in fact the only period they led in was the conclusion of the final. Truth is though thats the only one that counts. Timpview pulled away from a close game in the third stanza and heading into the final stretch the team from Provo held a six 48-4- eight-minu- te basketball tournament was one of those games that Lancer faithfuls sat around to put waiting for their club together. things point advantage. But back came the Darts behind the shooting of Chris Weaver and Cynthia Ford to outscore the Thunderbirds 17-- 8 to come away with the win. With the Darts behind by a point Chris Weaver drove and was fouled. She missed the shot but Ford was there to put the rebound back in to give the Darts the - best finish ever in a state tournament last Saturday when the Lancers defeated a very strong Hillcrest club to take home fourth 69-6- 8 place in the elite event. ' IT MARKED the end of a great season for Coach Doug Moon and his club, a club that came out of nowhere really to claim second place in the tough Region One warfare. Their only loss in the tournament came at the hands of Orem in the quarterfinals. The Tigers went on to place third in the tournament. Layton almost came away in their empty-hande- d season-endin- g affair as they returned cold from the foul line. Leading by five points with just over two minutes to play several Lancers missed the front end of situations which allowed the never-say-di- e Huskies to make a game out of it. one-and-o- THE GAME was nip and tuck for the first three periods with the Lancers holding slim leads in all three stanzas. Keeping up with their style in the Clearfield win, the Layton club came out to play right from the opening tip and quickly worked up a lead. At the end of the first period the Layton crew held a three over their Salt point, Lake opponents. Gordon Anderson and Matt Stireman kept the local club in the lead with some fine shooting while the guard line' was holding down thp Hillcrest threat, Mike Bernardo. GOING INTO the fourth and final period the Layton club found themselves down by a single point but quickly took control of the game and built 18-1- fouled out Coach Doug Moon inserted 68 within a couple of points but foul shooting kept the Tigers in the lead. It was only fitting that the Orem club used the foul line to secure the win since it was win. FRIDAY NIGHT the Darts took on their third opponent, at the charity stripe that they pulled off most of their points. Truth is Layton scored seven more field goals than the Orem crew but then again the from the Tigers hit 7 , charity stripe. Springville, but for the first time in the tournament the Darts were hot from the start and were never behind in this contest. They held leads 30-3- throughout the game up to 15 at one time. Leading the scoring was Barbara Green, who found herself open under the bucket with 18. Cynthia Ford was close behind adding 15 to the winning cause. ONLY ONE way to put the Tigers at the line that many times would be for someone to get called for a foul and the Lancers were in foul trouble throughout the contest. Brandon Flint was handcuffed in his play with the whistle route, Gordon Anderson couldnt be as aggressive as usual as he played most of the second half in foul trouble, finally fouling out in the fourth period. Matt Stireman and Dave Burke were held down in the aggressive department also both picking up four fouls. THEN ON Saturday the Dart gals battled Murray for the consolation title with the Davis five coming out on top 5 with a win. Again the Darts came out strong from the start, and coupled with some cold shooting on the part of the Spartans, quickly took command of the game. As has been the case most of the year, the Davis club was led in the scoring column by Barbara Green, 19 and Cynthia Ford with 11. Davis was never in doubt during this contest as several Darts enjoyed fine nights. 65-4- WITH TIME running out though the Layton club, was ... forced to put up long bombs and then fouled on the. rebounds which gave the Tigers their chance to shine; at the foul line.

For Layton it turned out to be a day to score, and then score some more as they had an easy time with the Falcons. The Layton Lancers finished fourth in the tournament. Unheralded Matt Stireman, who seems to get a lot of praise from opposing coaches closed out his career with 18 points.

PREVIOUS YEARS the Vikings went to the elite event. They lasted only two games before returning home and beginning spring sports. The way the Vikings looked in the first round against Highland, many observers felt that it was to be the same old script this season. This group of seniors though are from a different mold, they never give up. Even in league play after dropping four games in a row, they came back to win a couple of important games to secure a spot in the tournament. VIEWMONT CAME out smoking from the start against Cottonwood and they never let up. Results of this smoking was a convincing victory over the Colts and a date with Region One rival Sky View in the consolation semifinals on Friday. Everyone played a big role in this win but the standout would have to be senior guard Brad Thacker who finished the evening with a game high 77-5- 9 24 points. ONE SURPRISING factor in the win was that the Vikes did it without the services of their other starting guard Jim Miller who was sidelined with a sprained ankle he suffered in practice. However, his replacement junior Mike Dolder, played a great floor game and contributed 8 points to the cause. With Thacker hitting from the outside, the Colts had to extend their defense which gave Doug Day and Kelly Downs some room underneath. Doug found himself s and open for driving came up with 19 points while Kelly found the range with his deadly jumpshot to the tune of 16 points. AS GOOD AS the Vikings were on offense, their defense was even better as they played a very active and aggressive zone. Time after time the Vikes would come up with deflected passes and convert them into fast break opportunities. In the opening game the Vikes pressed, but in the Colt win Coach Ron Johansen decided to simply get his troops back in a hurry and set up the zone. lay-up- ' VIEWMONT controlled the boards and as they did they steadily pulled away from the Colts. The biggest margin occurred in the third period when the Vikings outscored their opponents 16-- to put the contest out of reach. This win established the Vikings as a favorite to win the consolation championship and fifth place, these are teams that lose the first night. Sky View is no stranger to the Vikes.
