Show r3S:s:is r::c!i&itG 5C:3fc:K:!l Predictions (J By DAVE WIGHAM it seems like every year at this time people are always ell' Xint me to stick my neck out and predict the races in . high school football season. To me this is suicide. ' it. Sl !s rN YEARS past I have done everything in my power to .void this prediction system, but still the people who see is ' " street ask me who will be the team to beat. to. miviS year I've decided to compromise and just tell yot the top teams, not in order I think they'll finish. Too 15 1 ""L, Jhings can happen in a season that will turn things ' ! around either for better or worse for certain clubs. k8' IN REGION One several trams return with top con-;tpndins con-;tpndins clubs. Laytdn, Bountiful, Bonneville, Weber and riearfield all have good clubs back. Viewmont has a .voune unproven club which is anxious to turn things iround at the school. Sky View claims to have the best -i Quarterback in-the state and Roy is always tough. . W'- Layton has a lot of people returning which makes them Jlt-ine of the top clubs in the area, offensively they are solid "with returnees at both running backs and lineman. Bon- ieville was one of the toughest defensive teams in the cw-.teEion iast year and they have about eight of those i piavers back. They also had a fast sophomore, now a "junior, running back who is joined by a move-in that is nliteiupposed to be a good one. Bountiful is always fielding a iood club, this bunch has lost only one game in two lears, depending on their quarterback situation. I WEBER HAS a lot of players back from last year and Lure to beat some people along the way. Viewmont has iplr I group of seniors who enjoy winning and who will do just ujs 'about anything to win. ' Sky View has a new coach and the kids have come out lor football in droves, their quarterback is a senior who fcjjnissed last season with an injury. Roy has their quarterback quar-terback returning plus a running back named Fred fernandes. Clearfield is in their second year under Brent '"'Hancock and they have some excellent football players ind could be tough. so FROM top to bottom the league is loaded. Look for mrlayton, Bonneville, Bountiful, Roy and Clearfield to battle for the top, not in that order, with Viewmont and Weber in the spoiler's roll. i' In Region Four things are about the same with several ! i teams boasting top clubs. Woods Cross has everyone 1 back, Davis is always a contender, Ogden again fields a hard-hitting club. Logan has a lot back from a year ago. j BEAR RIVER and Box Elder lost about everyone and 33 will probably be rebuilding while South has some good athletes. II you go strictly on number of returning players then (be Woods Cross club would be tops, but as Davis proves tat isn't always a good measuring tape. Look for Woods Across, Davis, Logan and Ogden to fight for the title with i South in the spoiler's roll. NOI DON'T write letters! I didn't say one team was going to win, just named the three or four clubs that I L spec! to be near the top at the end of all the games. |
