Page IB South Edition Lakeside Review November 9, 1983 Wednesday, Gutty Roy Falls Short In Playoffs KENT SOMERS Review Sports Editor SALT LAKE CITY It was almost an ending that could have been stolen from the sports fiction section at your local elementary school library. Davis High, 10-- 0 on the year, was trying to keep the underdog Roy High from going the last 20 Royals, yards to the end zone on, you guessed it, the last play of the game. To sweeten the plot, Roy had come back to win other ball games, beating Granger in the last minute of the first game of the playoffs and beating Lay-to- n earlier in the season on a similar miracle comeback. And the capper, of course, would Da-- , have been to beat the unbeaten vis High in the state tournament, the perfect, and predictable way, to end 8-- 2, suchabook. But the plot took a twist. Roy quarterback Steve Skidmore, who was thrown to the turf consistently and bru- tally by the Darts during the day, overthrew his receiver on the last play and Andy Keck of the Darts intercepted in the end zone to end the game and give the Darts the win, And all these thoughts of miracle comebacks werent lost on Davis Coach Ward Sawley, who even if he hasnt read those kind of books in awhile, has seen their equivalent Roys game film. Theyve been having those kind of finishes, Sawley said in his usual composed manner. (Whats that line About keeping your head while all the others around you are losing theirs? Never mind.) And, Sawley added, they just about had another one. But it wasnt that the Darts played a bad game. Davis performed well on both defense and offense, particularly ' when you consider that starting quarterback Steve Sargent strained some ligaments in his foot last Tuesday and. didnt play in Fridays game.

The consensus among many observers now lists the Huskies just under the 67 Green Bay Packers as the greatest football team ever assembled. O.K., so thats an exaggeration. They may still be a player away from the Packer. Count Roy Coach Ernest Jacklin, who has seen and coached a few good teams in his career, among those who thinks the Huskies will win it all. The team that wins it is going to be wearing green, said Jacklin. But couldnt that mean that Olympus is still in the running coach? And it isnt going to be Olympus," he added with a knowing smile, anticipating the question. But all of this talk doesnt necessarily leave the town of ville and Davis High shaking in their brown and gold pompons in fear. Fear takes a holiday when youre But Davis Coach Ward Sawley does have a robust respect for the Huskies, who like to throw the ball. The Darts played a passing team last week when they met Roy, and Sawley thinks the experience will help his Darts. We were tested pretty good by Roy, he said. Our coverage was good and we had good pressure on the quarterback. Now we have to do it all over again against Hillcrest. Hillcrest, Sawley said, throws the ball as well as any team in the state and the Huskies may have the best group of receivers in the state to catch it. 11-- 0. They are probably the best (passing team) there is going in the state, Sawley said, adding that three of the four teams left Olympus, Alta, Hillcrest all use the pass extensively in their offenses. They have quick receivers, he said. Haws (Marty) is so quick and their tight end is a great receiver." Sawley is also impressed with the Hillcrest defense, especially the linemen and linebackers. They run a 2 front, Sawley said.1 They are big and their ends come hard. They have two excellent linebackers. The seven guys up front are good ballplayers and they present some real problems.
