Show arils Satie For Second By DAVE WIGHAM KAYSV1LLE - Last week the Davis Darts found themselves them-selves in a position to take sole possession of first place in Region Four but they ran into a very good Logan club and now they find themselves in the position of playing for sole possession of second place. IT MIGHT not sound that glamorous to play for second place but keep in mind that the second place team from the region gets an automatic berth into the quarterfinals, they host a game, while the third place squad has to playoff for a berth. Ben Lomond is theii opponent op-ponent this week as the Darts head up north to Ogden to battle the Scots for second place. Davis is currently in second with a 5-1 record with the Scots right behind them with a 4-2 mark. A LOSS by the Darts would give both of them 5-2 records with the Scots getting second by virtue of the win. A win by Davis would solve everything also. Box Elder could also come into play if they should beat Bear River, and Davis loses to B.L. Sources indicate in the event of a three-way tie a coin toss would decide matters. mat-ters. Face the facts, Davis could solve their problems with a win this week. Last week they played well enough to win, in the end it was simply the team with the football at the end that won. Both Davis and Logan played good football, some of the best seen in these parts all year. ONE PROBLEM for the Darts is in the secondary, especially es-pecially trying to defense the pass. Logan had a great deal of success through the air, picking up over 250 yards against the Darts, which would indicate the Scots might attempt a few passes this week. That being the case then Jeff Emery, Brad Petersen, Peter-sen, Court Weaver and company com-pany will have to shore up the secondary. Davis has always prided their pass defense on a heavy rush. Against Logan it didn't pay off but they'll have to get to the Scot quarterback in order to stop them. BEN LOMOND has a great receiver in Robbie Tillman, an all-around athlete who has great speed. If their passer, Marty Campbell, gets the time then Tillman could be trouble all night. The key then would be to keep possession of the ball with their famous ground attack. at-tack. Mike Mounteer, Paul Rassmusen and Kevin Crid: die are good backs and with people like Todd Taylor, Dave and John Warden creating holes, the Darts could possii bly run all over the smaller Scots. Quarterback-wise the Darts still employ the two-man two-man system with senior Tod VanBrocklin and junior David Bates both performing well. MOUNTEER HAS been kept from defensive duty with a sore shoulder, preventing further injury with tackling, but if the Scots find holes in that secondary then Mounteer just might be inserted. The game plan then is to keep the ball away from the Scots, with a good ground game. Davis should score on the Scots, it's just a matter of how many times. |
