Show i i I J Farnsworth Const. Wins In Softball Tournament By DAVE WIGHAM This past weekend at the Park the Ron Bountiful City Farnsworth Construction softball team won the Regional Title and a trip back to the national tournament in September. WITH the win the local club, out of Salt Lake City, will journey to Cleveland, Ohio. The national event will be held from September 1 By DAVE WIGHAM All of the local high schools in the area have had their of brother acts go through their athletic programs. Layton has had the Lee and Nelson brothers, Clearfield has had the Gardner and Johnson doubles, Bountiful has had the Davies and Green boys in their halls. PROBABLY one of the most memorable brother acts to go through the Davis County school system would have to be the Nelson brothers who played ball at Viewmont. Play ball would be an understatement, all three were involved in the varsity baseball program for the Vikes their entire high school career. All of them were in the football and basketball programs at least two until the 5th. Several local players are on share the squad. Bill Lugo is the catcher and one of the power hitters on the club. Clyde Nelson is the shortstop, Dave Nelson is the third baseman and Kim Nelson is used when he is available. DURING the double elimination tournament held at the City Park the Farnsworth team breezed through till the finals on Sunday night with impressive victories over teams from Utah, Wyoming and Colorado. The final game saw Farnsworth going head to head with Ensign Homes of Salt Lake City. Early in Sunday morning action these two were the only undefeated teams left. Farnsworth handed the Ensign group their first loss. The Ensign team then won a couple of games to earn the right to play Farnsworth in varsity seasons. TWO OF the brothers went directly to Brigham Young University to play baseball out of high school, Dave and Kim. Clyde, the third member of this famous trio, took the junior college route and played for Ricks College before enrolling at the Y. I had a chance to talk to their mother thq other day and find out what they are all doing this summer and coming year. A prouder mother never existed than Mrs. Nelson who has probably seen as many ball games as any parent in history. DAVE AND Clyde are playing slow pitch softball for the Ron Farnsworth team, the team that finished second in the big Pioneer Day tournament. Both are enjoying good years with the club. Dave returns this fall to Utah Technical College in Provo as the head baseball coach. Dave has turned that program into a winner since he took over the job a couple of years ago. His clan is always near the top of the ICAC conference. Dave has been attending the American Legion tournament for the past several weeks hoping to sign a top player for his program. Rumor has it that Dave would like Mark Lalli to enroll in the school. IN ORDER for the Ensign team to win the title they would have to beat Farnsworth twice. In the opening game they did beat them which set up the need for the title event. At this time it appeared that Ensign had the momentum needed to win. Farnsworth was not to be denied, however, as they came back in the last game to In the two previous win games Ensign had scored an average of 20 runs, so limiting them to just 2 was a great feat for Farnsworth. 10-- al All-St- ELSEWHERE in the fast pitch tournament held in Salt Lake City, another local c won the right squad to playoff with another regional winner next week from Salt Lake City. Ken Hackmeister is the catcher of this highly successful team that has been one of the top clubs in the state throughout the years. SANDWICHED inbetween their athletic careers, Dave and Clyde fulfilled missions for the LDS Church, and the possibility of Kim going after college isnt out of the question either. Tri-Ar- Although many brother acts have excelled in high school, very few can say that three brothers did so well in college as well.

The Wildcats might just as well have picked the Pittsburg Steelers, the Morgan clubs are known for their football power over the past several years. That WOODS doesn't mean that all the Trojans have to do is show up to win, but on the other hand you have to admire the Woods Cross people for their selection. Fans are anxiously awaiting to see how the wildcats will fare in the 3A ranks. Layton and Davis annually have a battle on the field, each team looks forward to this encounter.

Still a question mark at this time is the playing status of Brian Johnson. Some say he wont play at all, others say he will play just on offense. Certainly a key to the Falcon season would be his status, but without him the club still has a lot of talented players who could make things rough on opposing teams. For some good enjoyable entertainment, make plans to see a high school football game in the area next Friday.
