Show Page IB South Edition Lakeside Review Wednesday, December 5, 1984 Lakeside Review Picks The Davis High School football team, which went undefeated during both its prescason and league games this year, placed six players on the Lakeside Reviews 1984 All-Ar- football team. ea Woods Cross placed five players, Viewmont four, Clearfield and Bountiful had three each, Layton had two and Roy placed one on the team. These 24 athletes compris-- . ing a first-teaoffense, first-teadefense, a punterkicker and a return specialist are by far not all the athletes that deserve recognition. There were many players not named to the first team that were very close to the ones who did. m m The Lakeside Review sought the input of all the area coaches during the selection process, but the final decisions were made by the Review. Players were not picked on a specific position by position basis, for example we have two tight ends in the reciever corps, but athletes were picked within six area groupings: backfield, receivers, offensive linemen, defensive linemen, linebackers, and defensive backfield. The backfield is made up of Davis quarterback Casey Lloyd, Woods Cross running back Jeff Hawkins and Davis running back Chris Card. Other players highly regarded for backfield honors were Laytons Robert Ferneau who along with Mike Roberts moved the ball well on the ground and Clearfields Greg Boseman, who was the leading ground gainer and pass receiver for the Falcons. Also, several quarterbacks were mentioned often, including Laytons Brian Bailey, Clearfields Brad Sherwood and Woods . Cross Brad Worthen. The receivers include Davis tight end Roger Clawson, Viewmont tight end Casey Kleinman and Woods Cross wide out Scott Jensen. Others closely considered were Bountifuls dangerously effective Rick Freeman; Viewmonts ever present Brian Beecher, also considered for defensive back and re- turn specialist honors; Casdorph of Davis, Bill Bagley of Viewmont, Dean Porter of Clearfield and Brett Balderson of Bountiful. The heaviest competition for finding a place on this team seemed to be at defensive back. Every coach had one or two he thought were as good as any of the others in the area and each roach was right. Those named to the first team are Viewmonts Brian Hardy, Da- - Viewmont and David Kinard of Davis. First team punterkicker was nailed down by Bountifuls Matt Bombard and Woods Cross Ron Gomez makes the team as the areas best return specialist. RECEIVERS BACKFIELD named. Our three selections are Laytons Mike Roberts, Davis Steve Pearson and Jeff Butler of Roy. Other top selections were Davis Rody Meacham, Woods Cross Ron Sellers and Viewmonts Tony Hanks. Linebackers are the center of most defenses and this area was as any, with the as possible exception of the defensive backs. Heading the list of on team are Vaughn our well-balanc- ed All-Ar- ea ROGER CLAWSON DAVIS JEFF HAWKINS WOODS CROSS DAVIS Lloyd was the catalyst of Davis double wing ground game this year, but will be remembered as much for his passing as anything. His coach, Jim Dickson, said Lloyds calmness under pressure allowed him to stay in the pocket and wait for his receivers to find an opening. Lloyd passed for 1,125 yards and 16 touchdowns, hitting 50 percent of his throws. His rate was 7 yards a time. In addition to his offensive duties Lloyd played defensive back for the Darts. 1 At and 170 pounds, Card was Davis big double threat. He carried a big part of the Darts year for the Wildcats.

In addition to his pass catching abilities, Clawson was an excellent blocker for the Dart running attack. Clawson had only eight catches on the year, but five of them were for touchdowns and he had a per catch average.

Narrowly missing were Ryan Rushton of Bountiful, Darin Boyer of Roy. Kevin Cullimore of Woods Cross, Brian Beecher of and Clearfield tight end Ken Ashby, the Falcons main target on third down situations this year. Its no wonder offensive linemen feel like they get no respect. Few coaches made many comments about their offensive lineman, so they had to be solicited. Named to the first team are Laytons Tim Fraser, Rick Hawley of Woods Cross, Vaun Waite from Clearfield, Paul Hansen from Bountiful and Alan Hansen from Viewmont. Also considered were Roys David Toone; Woods Cross bookend tackles, Chris Harmon and Roger Holmgren; and Davis Scott Ward and Jubal Frost. Defensive linemen did fare better than their offensive counterparts, but we only chose three because, as strong as this group was, there were even more linebackers and defensive backs RECEIVERS : Football Team All-Ar- ea 170-pou- SCOTT TIM JENSEN Jensen was the top threat in the Woods Cross passing attack starter this year.

He was a team captain, a starter for the Wildcats and was the anchor of the offensive line. Over last summer he bulked up to 200 pounds and won excellent marks in the Woods Cross grading system. He was graded at 100 percent hustle on several outings and even got 100 percent on Waite is a junior and has the opportunity to become one of the outstanding lineman this area has had, said coach Brent Hancock. He is also noted for a very good year as a defensive lineman. He is one of just two Clearfield players to go both ways.

Viewmonts Alan things that are very important to the Viking passing attack. Hansen was also an intelligent player and a leader on the field. LINEBACKERS Picture not available. PAUL HANSEN BOUNTIFUL MIKE ROBERTS LAYTON Bountifuls Paul Hansen is the second junior to make the team. He anchored a good Bountiful line this year with solid pass protecting and mobile down-fiel- d blocking. He will return as one of the leaders on what will be an experienced Braves team next All-Ar- ea - year. Roberts is another of the many who filled important roles on both offense and defense. He was a bruising runner as a fullback for the Lancers, but perhaps even more helpful to Laytons cause were the bonecrushing tackles made from his defensive end Hansen played offensive tackle and defensive tackle and was very effective at both. Coach Hatch said one of his big assets was his quickness. He was a very good pass blocker and picked up blitzes well, two efficiency twice. DEFENSIVE LINE OFFENSIVE LINE 6-- ALAN HANSEN VIEWMONT VAUGHN CASDORPH DAVIS STEVE PEARSON DAVIS ROY Pearson was a pleasant surprise to the Davis coaching staff a year ago when he moved here from Florida. He and teammate Rody Meacham gave Davis the bulk and size it has so desparately needed in the past. At 7 and 220 Pearson made six unassisted tackles with 44 assisted stops. Coach Dickson said his quiet yet intense approach to the game made him a pleasure to coach. Butler was Roys clear defensive standout, receiving every first place vote from the players and the coaches as the teams No. defensive; player. Coach Fred Thompson said he was a strong and quick pursuer and also had the strength, at 2 and 185 pounds, to stop anyone running right at him. Although he didn't play as a junior, he didnt miss a down at defensive end this year. 6-- I ) 1 6-- Pound for pound Casdorph is the toughest player Cgach Dickson .said he has ever coached. Dickson calls him 160 pounds of heart. Casdorph had more than 20 unassisted tackles and nearly 120 assists. Dickson says he has the innate abilities to fend off would-b- e blockers and to know where the football is going to be. He is the kind of player defenses are molded around. 'J, BILL BAGLEY VIEWMONT Viewmont's Bagley is a coach's dream linebacker. He is extremely aggressive and a very hard hitter, according to Coach Hatch. An extremely effective tackier, Bagley had 51 unassisted tackles. He was the Viewmont defense's leader in tackles, assists and total defensive points as kept by the coaching staff.
