Show 2C Lakeside Review North, Wednesday, Nov. 2, 1983 Lancers Defeated Football Playoff In SALT LAKE CITY -Layton High fans could laugh at the small crowd, the concessions table and 'the relaxed Salt Lake City football crowd, but what occurred last Friday on the playing field at Olympus was no laughing matter. Before a small crowd about evenly mixed with Layton and Olympus fans, rated Tithe number-on- e tans mugged the underdog in the open- Lancers, 50-state round of the ing . 7, 4-- A playoffs. had Olympus, now 10-not played a Davis County football team this season and proved to area fans that they are for real. The Lancers, meanwhile, had started the season with four straight wins but then lost their next four and made the state playoffs on a Clearfield loss in the final 0, week. Layton stopped Olympus on its first possession and kept the outcome in doubt for the first six minutes of .the game. But then a Titan interception deep in Layton territory and a touchdown pass two plays later trigofgered their . high-scori- ng fense. Olympus Olympus will be playing for the championship. I'd be very surprised if theyre not." Layton Defensive back Mike Trujillo said it was intimidating watching the Titan passing attack before the game on film and even tougher facing it in person. "They have good receivers who run good patterns, he said. I couldnt pick up on their receivers and tell if they were going to run long or short. Every pass was right to them." Kidd said the Lancers wanted to play error-fre- e and control the ball to keep it away from the explosive Titan offense but were unable to do so.' They hit us from every angle, he said. They really impressed me. Woods Cross was big but theyre the biggest team weve played this year.

The Lancers had nothing but praise for Olympus who advances to play Highland on Thursday. They had the best throwing quarterback and receivers weve faced this year, said Layton Coach Gary Hansen. I think 4-- A team was a far cry from the large crowds at most of the regular season games in the Lakeside area this year. Olympus High has a small grandstand on only one side of the field and even it wasnt mk-J t rs full. At least half the crowd made the trip down from Layton, judging by the small roar heard when Olympus scored one of its frequent touchdowns. A small, portable concessions table added to the laid back atmosphere of a Salt Lake high school sporting event. The loss ends the Layton season at 5 overall. After their strong start with wins over Bountiful, Viewmont, Woods Cross and Clearfield, the Lancers lost their next four by a total margin of 22 points. We had some problems that hit us in the middle of the season, said Hansen. We should have won some games there and were a better team than our record shows. 5-- - LAYTON HIGH defenders Tom Kidd (33) and ' , A' 'i.

Yea, its got to have an effect, said Bountiful Coach Kim Peterson said, but its hard to measure. But despite the effect of last-minu- portant plays of the game, playing so many games. Bountiful had a chance to score early in the Alta game, driving the ball down to the Hawks line. But the Braves were stopped and turned the ball over on downs to te Alta.
