Show Woods H, Btfl., Viewmont Cheer For Each Other By DAVE WIGHAM When was the last time you saw athletes from View- mont cheering for players from Woods Cross and Bountiful? Boun-tiful? How about the Braves pulling for the Vikings and Wildcats? Then too the Woods Cross kids cheering for Bountiful and Viewmont? IT HAPPENED last week when soccer teams from these three schools all went south to play in the Utah County soccer tournament. All three Davis County schools went down on the same bus. There were no riots, no name calling, simply a good time for these athletes to get to know each other off the field in competition. MAKE NO mistake about it, these three teams will go at each other when they play one another but for a day last week they were all pulling for each other. As it turned out the Braves went 3-0 against the southern schools while both Woods Cross and Viewmont went 2-1. THE BIG game was Orem against Bountiful, and following their games the teams from the other two schools went to the Braves game and were loudly cheering cheer-ing for the Braves. This was probably one of the first times teams from these three schools went to an athletic event together, and the results were fantastic. The players enjoyed the ride taking the opportunity to talk to one another and even the coaches picked each other's minds as to oppositions op-positions upcoming. THE tournament was good for all three schools because it let them see the type of competition that can be expected in the state tournament. Both the, 4A and the 3A classes were present at the tournament. Bountiful, Viewmont, Orem all play in the 4A ranks while the Woods Cross, Timpview and Provo clubs are all in the 3A ranks. THIS YEAR will mark the first time ever the state soccer tournament will be held in two classes. Woods Cross would have to be considered a favorite in the 3A and Bountiful in the 4A. This tournament let the Braves see Orem and the Cats to see Provo. THE OTHER sports should try this little idea, about traveling together for a tournament, the soccer players and coaches were extremely pleased with the results. |
