Davis High, 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 in the state tournament, vis High the perfect, and predictable way, to end ' such a book. But the plot took a twist.

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. . - 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; m .777; their offenses. .

Davis offensive problems in the game could be compounded -- . . . 5-- of quarterback Steve Sargent, who missed the Roy game because of a ligament injury to his foot in practice last by the loss week. Although reserve QB Casey Lloyd filled in well for Sargent in the Roy game, Davis will be hurt if Sargent doesnt play. Its still undetermined, Saw- ley replied when asked if Sargent will play Friday. At the present time, he is hobbling and sore. But, Cawley said, he is starting to show a little recovery. Sawley called Salients injury a fluke and something that would happen one out of 100 times. The senior quarterback was injured when another player fell on his foot. But regardless of whether Sargent plays, Hillcrest doesnt plan id to change its defense to play the offense, said Husky Coach Jerry Simonson. We feel like weve played good defense all year, and were not going to change anything, he said. If they move the ball on us that means they are the better team. Stopping the long Davis drives will be the defenses primary goal, said Simonson. Field position will also play an important part in the game, said Simonson, and the Huskies will try to keep the Darts from getn territory. ting into Inside the 40, they arent going to punt the ball anyway, he said. That puts pressure on the defense to maintain the line of scrimmage. double-win- g , four-dow- ,, |
