Show VA Davis and Its Double Wing Look for 6th Straight Title DUANE D. THOMAS : Dickson also has three top play ers to go at the fullback spot. Mike Robinson, Ted Collins and Todd Marriott might all see time before the year is over. The Darts are very deep in the offensive line with eight men who can play in the trenches, The Review Correspondent KAYSVILLE More often than not, first year coaches face unenviable tasks.' But that is not the case with Davis Highs Jim Dickson. pickson steps in as the head of very successful program, one that has taken the Region Four title five years straight. There are many reasons for Davis fans to be positive. Last years to state team was runner-u- p champion Alta. Meanwhile, both the J.V. and sophomore teams went unbeaten. Davis will have a team laden with seniors but experience is not plentiful. What experience there is, is on th defense where the Darts return three men who saw varsity time last year. Rody and Steve Pearson will return to the defensive line and Dave Kinard will see time in the defensive secondary. The offense will. remain the same as it has been for several years. The ancient double wing will be the Darts primary set. The Darts will start one of two quarterbacks to run the double a Mea-cha- ' &W tackles include Kevin Hutchins, Andy Nef and Steve Pearson. Seeing time at guard will be Eric Thompson, Scott Ward and Vaughn Casdorph. The Darts will play two centers during the 1984 season. They are Rody Meacham and Jubal Frost. Davis will rotate two men at tight end. Roger Clawson and Mike Cady will be the two men primarily used. Davis also has two players for the one wide receiver spot. Both Keith Hunsaker and Todd Snarr will see time. If the Darts have a strong point it would have to be defense. And the reason is depth. The Darts have a lot of players who will go m both ways. The Darts have no fewer than seven players who can play the four defensive line positions. All seven will possibly go both ways wing. One of the candidates for the quarterback spot is one of last years heros, Casey Lloyd. Lloyd was one of the principal figures in win over last years semi-finRoy. Battling Lloyd for the quarterback spot is another senior, Greg Norton. Coach Dickson sees five men battling for two wingback spots. The list is led by senior Davis Kinard. Other top prospects are Carter Hatch, Kelly Ryujin, Troy Butterfield and Chris Card, a jual nior. or the ones who dont play offense may take defensive spots. Pearson, Meacham, Nef, Clawson, Frost, Thompson and Scott Ward are all possible starters on the defensive line. The Darts go even deeper at the line backer positions with nine men vying for four spots. Eight of the nine play offense. Those going for the outside line backers are Collins, Hatch, Norton and Marriott. Casdorph, Rob- inson, Hutchins, Hunsaker and junior Chris Card will look to see time at inside linebacker. In the secondary will be Ryujin, DAVIS HOPES to continue its string of Region Four titles with its new coach Jim Dickson. Like last year Butterfield, Lloyd and two ju- niors, Greg Willard and Curt .
