Show SEPTEMBER 8, 1987 Clearfield wins easily, but Falcon coach has praise for WX Wildcats By KEITH DUNCAN CLEARFIELD After the Falcons of Clearfield had made it and Woods Cross had just suffered its second straight setback, Brent Hancock uttered sure praise for the losing w pre-seas- team. To be very honest about it, we expected to find a team that was more mistake-plagueBut Ill tell you what, Woods Cross is going to be there someday. Coach (John) Hanning is playing a lot of young kids right now, who when they get the experience, are going to be tough to beat," said Hancock. The final score ended up 0 for Clearfield, who has now knocked off two county foes in a row. d. 23-1- Last week they shut out View-mon- t. The Falcons earned the victory over Woods Cross with reserve quarterback Gene Smith leading the way. Tim Gardner was hit hard and injured during Clearfield's opening series of plays and had to leave the game. But Smith did a brilliant job as he passed for a couple of touchdown passes to fellow senior. Bracken Larsen. Hannings Wildcats took the ear ly lead in the game on a safety, before Smith found Larsen on a bomb for the 50-ya- le, where the Falcons will probably find a very mad Dart team. Davis was humiliated at home last week by Layton and theyll be doing everything possible to turn their season around. The Darts also havent forgotten the 10--9 loss Clearfield pinned on them a year ago. go-ahe- score. Bill Spangenthal's PAT made it 7-- 2 for Clearfield. Spangen-tha- l added a field goal as the two teams went into the locker room with the score Smith connected with Larsen for another touchdown in the second The Falcons half to make it final tally came on a halfback pass from Monte Geertgens to Rob Hiatt. With the score 23-Woods Cross scored their first touchdown of the season and the first one given up by Clearfield this season as 10-- 2. The defensive effort, overall, has been a positive standout for the coaches at Clearfield. Theyll hope the same kind of effort continues against Davis on Friday. 16-1- 0. Defensive coordinator, Brent Lund says there isnt any super-star- s and there really arent any big kids. We've got kids playing positions they havent played before, but still theyre doing an outstanding job forms. Take Gene Smith for example. Hes doing a great job at the weak corner for us and has never played defense before. Everyone just wants to contribute and make it a team effort, and that's what makes this group so fun to work with. They listen and do the things theyre asked to do. Coach Hancock has done a great job of instilling the team concept within them. Hes let them know well. Gardners painful hip injury was to be diagnosed this week, but he is expected to be out of the line-u- p for a while. Smith, who played regularly as a sophomore for the sophomore team, played in only four or five plays last year because of a broken clavical bone. Gene is a competitor, said Hancock, just like the rest of these kids. He came in and did a great job for us.

We have a chance to be good, but no one wants to happen what happened last year.
