When you shoot from the field, you cant expect to win. And you have to give the Darts credit for playing some great defense because they were forcing us to do things we dont normally do, like shooting low percentages. Then too, we had won four games in a row and we couldnt complain about how things had swung in our favor in a few of those games. We just couldnt expect good things to happen forever, said the Viking coach. It was a timely victory for the Darts, who maintained a share of the Region Four league lead with the victory with Bountiful who 3 the blasted Woods Cross, same night. Both the Darts and the Braves are 2 while Viewmont drops a game behind the leaders at nt 80-5- 6-- 5-- 3. Coach John Robison of Davis accepted Nelsons credit of his teams defensive effort and went on further to congratulate his assistant coaches and the Davis players for preparing well to meet Viewmont. No one player stood out tonight, we played together and played well when we had to, said Robison. It was a difficult night for the Vikings in terms of getting the round ball in the basket, from start to finish. Viewmont gained control offensively, the Vikes had missed four attempts from their end. Viewmont did get the lead at but Davis reeled off seven unanswered points to take a advantage and never trailed after that, even though the Vikings did make it real interesting later on. The Darts managed a lead after one quarter and were still at halftime. It wasnt a ahead, sparkling first half for either team, but Davis defense was the difference with players like Mike Welling doing a good job employing n Davis sticky defense. and Brandon Welling Dyer worked hard and held Viewmonts 9 Shaun Faux to just three points on the night. Despite the fact Viewmont wasnt shooting well, the Vikes stayed in the game because of Davis certain lapses in turning the ball over. In the third quarter, some sloppy play by the Darts 3-- 9-- 13-1- 29-2- 2 3 0 2 man-to-ma- 6-- allowed them only six points and Viewmont crept back after three stops, trailing only 35-3- 1. The game became anyones quest with 4:09 remaining when Scott McIntosh sank two freethrows to bring Viewmont to within one, But Davis high scoring Jeff Pearson woke up just in time and hit a shot under heavy pressure to keep Davis ahead. Seconds later Pearson was putting the final touches on two freethrows and Davis was out in front by five, The Region Four leading scorer 39-3- 8. 43-3- 8. O A '$0 of them.

Pearsons WEBER 60 LAYTON 55 Oh so close, but nothing to take 21. This was by far, our best defensive effort of the year, said Davis Robison, (Curtis) Stoddard and our other bigger kids did a great job in boxing their kids out and seemed to get the key rebounds everytime we needed them. Robison said his club will now gear everything towards the East Frigame which will be played this Lake in City. Salt night day home. Lavton battled Weber as tough as anyone in Pleasant View has, but the Warriors were able to stave off several late Layton challenges and preserved a 60-5- 5 victory.

Layton fell behind after one quarter, 13-- 7 and still trailed by six, 4 at halftime.
