By DAVE WIGHAM Layton High shows off its basketball powerhouse to the rest of the state when the Lancers lock horns with the Bonneville Lakers from Region One, Monday at 6:30 p.m. THE LANCERS have By DAVE WIGHAM I, for one, am sick and tired of picking up a paper and reading how the Region Two teams always fold in the State tournament for basketball. already played the Lakers this year, but that was way back at the beginning of the schedule in December. A lot of water has gone under the bridge since that four point Lancer victory. Layton went on to finish second in Region Two, while the Lakers wound up in fourth place in their region with a 7 mark. ON PAPER then this game would appear to have the ingredients of a mismatch. State tournaments have a habit though of turning pre-seaso- n THIS YEAR the four representatives from this league and area have excellent clubs and could very well have a definite impact on the outcome of the tournament. Viewmont has everything a championship team needs. They have the heighth, Eden, Wilkins and Pearce. They have the outside shooting Walker, Lalli and Oswald and they play a good well balanced team style of ball. LAYTON HAS the potential to knock off some of the big boys in the tournament. The Lancers have two good big men in Gilbert and Roberts. These two can play with the best in the State. They may get their chance the second night to prove it. Should the Lancers get good consistent play from their guards, they too could put a dent in some teams title 5-- hopes. ballgames. If this isnt going to be a Lancer runaway, the Lakers will have to figure out how to stop the top scorer in Region Two Johnny Gilbert. The 4-- A CLEARFIELD has the type of team that can control the tempo of anyone. Coach Reid has a well disciplined squad who love to play hard nosed defense. Given a few breaks, the Falcons could surprise a few folks down south. Its anyones guess what the Ben Lomond team is going to do. Lately the Scots, with the likes of Jennings, Quayle and Snell, have looked very impressive. They have the heighth factor necessary for the wins. IN RECENT years the teams from Region Two have had a tough time in the tournament, but the draw they have this year they should come out alright. All four squads could very well be favored in their opening games. Winning the first game is all important in this tournament, once a team gets that first win under their belts, they seem to be more relaxed. MAYBE IF the four teams win their first games, the skeptics will quit calling Region Two teams chokers. dw KVJantua Awaits Some New Fish With anticipated spawning activities of the Bear Lake 'cutthroat trout enhancement program approximately two months away, the Division of Wildlife Resources Fisheries and Field Services personnel are working at Mantua Hatchery to prepare the facilities to receive the new fish. CONDITIONS at . the hatchery now look favorable following the loss of fish in November. After investigation of the problems which caused the fish loss, recommendations were made for several changes in the system. It is felt that the problems can be corrected now while the new station construction is still underway and that the facility will be ready in time to begin hatching and growing fish in the spring. THE LOSS of fish was caused by a combination of problems that appeared to happen at approximately the same time. Magnetic relay contacts failed to operate and are being replaced. Storage tanks, sensing devices and operational modes are being modified to allow for improved usage of Fisheries pumps. Management also has scheduled a meeting with the designers of the hatchery. Efficient operations and maintenance will be a primary topic the meeting. of discussion at INVESTIGATIONS are also being initiated at the new Glenwood Hatchery to determine if a similar situation exists in the design there and whether corrective measures are necessary at that facility to eliminate the possibility of such breakdowns. At this point, the investigation is simply a protective measure. to Mantua continues operate on a very limited basis, maintaining the few cutthroat fingerlings that survived the incident. cutthroat eggs were distributed to other hatcheries in the state, as well as Mantua; and these will be used to continue the Bear Lake Cutthroat Enhancement Program studies until next year when Mantua can again be put into full production. ; BEAR LAKE THEY WIN By GARY R. BLODUt.il in the Clearfield High School trophy case - but this one belongs to the gals! -- THATS RIGHT, the Falcon girls are winners of the basketball championship. Its the first State Class cage championship ever for the CHS coeds. And the state crown is just as important, just as cherished, as any state title won by their mail counterparts. 4-- THE GIRLS played great, just great, echoed Coach Margo Jones. We were a little nervous, a little up tight, at the beginning but we soon got over that and played some real good basketball. Its been a Cinderella Story for the CHS girls basketball team all season. The gals lost only one game, a thriller to Ben Lomond High School, during the entire season. two-poi- THATS A better record than most high school male basketball teams. Only Provo finished the regular season undefeated - and the Bulldogs still have the state tournament ahead. It was a double victory for junior Jackie Beene, 1 center, and teams leading scorer and rebounder. JACKIE WOKE up Saturday morning, day of the championship game, with a slight case of the flu and a temperature of 102 degrees. I hoped and prayed that I would be feeling well enough to take the floor for that final game, she said. It meant too much to me to not be able to play. I just couldnt let the team down. - JACKIE DIDNT let her teammates down not by a long shot. In fact, Jackie had a hotter shooting streak than her body temperature as she burned the nets for 24 points. She also dominated both backboards and was intimidate ing on defense as the CHS gals won easily, 54-3- THE GIRLS had been a good shooting team all season 10 points per game better than their opponents. I sensed we were going to put the championship away when we exploded early the second half after leading - averaging ion Criddle and chipped away at the Cedar lead. Basketball last week when they downed Another year is over and now that the dust has settled, the four top teams have been invited to play in the State tournament which begins next Monday at the University of Utah. THIS YEAR has been a terrific year for the basketball fans in this area. Region Two action has been hot and heavy throughout the year, with the title not being decided until the final week. Viewmont, with its revenge win over Clearfield, won the title outright as the Layton team faltered at Ben Lomond. Clearfield finished third in the league with the Ben Lomond squad in the fourth spot. NEITHER of the two teams which didnt qualify for State, Bountiful or Ogden, were considered pushovers by any of the coaches. To prove the balance of the league, just look at the two battles between Bountiful and Viewmont. The Vikes finished the region war with a 1 record, while the Braves were thd exact opposite. Yet when these two met, the Vikes had to go into double overtime both games to beat the stubborn Braves. EACH week was a different challenge for the teams and their coaches, no team in this league could take a breather. The lone Viking loss came at a time when they probably thought they were on their way to a perfect league mark. The second a team starts to think like that in Region Two, upset. theyre primed for anthet loss Viewmont did avenge 9-- Clearfield for the league title. LAYTON dropped a pair to the Vikes and then last week lost to an up and coming Ben Lomond squad. Another case of the Lancers taking the Scots too easy maybe and getting knocked off. Clearfield was somewhat of a mystery team this year. At first the Falcons played well, then they dropped a couple of games to Layton and one to Ben Lomond. Then last week the Clearfield team looked a little ragged against View- mont. MAYBE they realized they were locked in on third place in the region and became complacent. With State around the corner Coach Roger Reid will have them flying high again. Ben Lomond definitely was the up and down team of the league. After the first go round the Scots were only during the second half of the league they went 1 to finish with a mark. 4, 4-- 5-- 5 SEVERAL coaches said at the beginning of the year that this Scot team had the talent to win, they proved that point in the second half. Bountiful and Ogden caused fits the entire year although neither team had an impressive record. The Braves were always hustling and giving it their all as were the Tigers. GOING into the State tournament, the teams from this region are experienced in hard nosed basketball and should represent the league favorably. dw point victories this season in basketball so their one point win over Cedar in the opening round of State action was no new thing for them. MORE THAN once this year Coach Mike Gardner has sat back and watched his team fight back to win at the wire. Monday night at the University of Utah he again sat back and saw his club fight back from a 10 point deficit to nip the Cedar five. In the closing minutes it was foul shooting that proved to be the difference as Darts Bob Payne and Jim Hess both hit two foul tosses to climax the comeback. PAYNE scored his two foul pitches with 22 seconds left to give the Kaysville five a one point lead. At the nine second mark Hess was fouled and his two pitches gave the Davis crew the three point margin. Cedar raced down floor unguarded and scored two more points but it was too little. PAYNE LED all scorers in the contest ending the night with 26 points coming mainly on his inside power game. Time and time again the Dart senior would post his man up and score the easy five foot bank shot. Steve Criddle kept the Darts in the game early as he scored 10 of his game 15 points in the first quarter. Pat Benton finally got hot in the final stanza to end up with 10 points for the winners. THE GAME started out fast and furious as both clubs were anxious to get down the floor and cast up a shot. The Red-me- n were hotter from the outside than the Darts and they pulled away slowly but surely in the third period. In the fourth period the Darts went inside to Payne and IHIorsis Dr. Robert Runnells and his wife Marian of Fruit Heights are encouraging families in this area who are lovers of beautiful horses to plan to at- tend the 1977 American Saddle Horse Association and Mountain States Tennessee Walking Horse Breeders Association parade and clinic on March 19.

WE SET A goal at the beginning of the season to hold our opponents to less than 35 points per game, and we did it, said Miss Jones. I coach a lot of defense and my gals really played the role. We have a very determined, unselfish team. The CHS gals averaged 51 points per game in the state tournament, 52 for the season. They shot 40 per cent from the field all season while holding their opponents to 30.5 per cent field goal average. further, tremendous A boost to the industry would result from lower aircraft prices but no breakthrough on this front has been achieved though widely and long awaited.

LAST YEAR the CHS RATHER, the private flying industry and sector continue their steady pace of expansion in this country.

Sherry Titus averaged 9.7 points in the tourney and 9.2 for the season. We were a consistent team.

Batteries scientists began searching in earnest for new batteries to be used for providing power for spacecraft, certain types of military communications and even to power vehicles in areas where fuel shortages or other reasons prohibited the use of internal combustion engines. FROM THIS development came a new series of power sources using lithium. Lithium is the lightest metal known and had previously been used in metallurgy and in production of nuclear reactions. But it wasn't long before the reactive qualities metal of this soft, silver-whit- e were put to use in generating electricity. Today, small power cells using lithium as a prime of helping the human heart beat as often as 72 times a minute, 4,320 times a day, 1,576,800 times a year, for years and years. ESTIMATES of the potential logevity of some lithium pacemakers exceed ten years. who many consider one of the top forwards in the area. At 65 Cal adds heighth to the forward Brandon Flint all year and now he finds out if his efforts have paid off. Flint has done an admirable job up to now, but now he faces some heavy names in the State tournament. This young Lancer could play a vital role in the Layton effort this year. For the Lakers they have a human jumping jack for a forward who scores in the 15 point per game range. In theif first meeting the Lancers were somewhat surprised by the play for this forward, Gary Blanschett, but this time around they know all about him. LAYTON HAS been up and down throughout the season and when theyre up they rate with the top teams in the State. In recent years the Lancers have dropped their opening round contest, this group should fair better than their former mates. If Layton can get that first win under their belts then the confidence will come and they could be tough to beat.
