Show Mtes F Mmt Win With Cats it;, ; ? , , : ; '' ' Viewmont is most dangerous danger-ous in the air with speedsters like Jeff Porter. Kurt Mathews and Doug Scovel on the flanks. If given the time, which he wasn't in the Bountiful loss. Davis can hit the open man. THE KEY to this battle is control of the line. In some cases this could mean control of the scoring. In their loss to Bountiful the Vikes got behind and had to throw the ball which meant a green light for the Bountiful pass rush. Woods Cross is quick in the line and could put a lot of pressure on the passer. If Viewmont is to stand any chance of winning their line will have to get the quarterback quarter-back more time. IT'S HOMECOMING week at Viewmont and the Cats would like nothing more than to ruin the entire thing. By DAVE WIGHAM BOUNTIFUL A year ago the winner of the View-mont-Woods Cross football game went to state, the loser didn't. Although it isn't that cut and dried this year (he implication im-plication regarding the state tournament are still there. A WIN by either team wouldn't guarantee a state berth but a loss would almost rule that possibility out, especially espe-cially if the losing team were Viewmont. The Vikings have lost their first two region outings and a third loss would just about rule them out for state play. Woods Cross has a I-1 record thus far and another win would throw them right into the thick of the region race, a loss wouldn't help matters but it certainly wouldn't kill all their hopes either. IF YOU'RE into comparisons compari-sons the two clubs have played some common foes. Both have played Layton, Viewmont won 13-12 while the Cats won 21-10. Both have played Clearfield Clear-field with the Vikes winning 13-7 in overtime and the Cats 20-0. Then both sides have lost to the strong Bountiful club. Vikings lost 31-6 and the Cats 20-6. Now that you've received all that information you can forget about it. Throw out the records and all that good stuff. This is a genuine down to earth old-fashioned rivalry. E EN THOUGH both clubs have new headmen they are already caught up in the Davis County rivalry syndrome. Both have respect for the other side. "Right now Woods Cross has an excellent defensive squad that has carried them along this far. They have 1 1 guys around the ball that hit hard. Plain and simple they get after it," noted Mark Pierce of Viewmont. HEADING THAT defensive unit is Doug Sendobry, who went to the Dick Butkus school of linebacking. isn't alone, though, in his efforts. People like Bruce Bishop, Gene Christensen. Matt Harmer, Scott Grossen-bach. Grossen-bach. Keith Prowse. Scott Longston. Richard Millward. Matt Eden and many others give the Cats a very solid defense de-fense up front. In the secondary, the Cats feature standouts like Blake Andersen. Taz Smith. Jeff Buxton, Mike Egan. Dave Mott among others to shut down the pass. OFFENSIVELY the Cats rely on Blair Kents' passing arm and the legs of Egan. Smith and Buxton, plus, the receiving hands of Doyle Hau-ter, Hau-ter, Barton Bishop. Troy Culli-more Culli-more and Bruce Bishop. For Viewmont the big question ques-tion is just how will the Vikes bounce back from their loss to Bountiful'.' SENIOR RODGER Davis came into the game against the Braves and played well. He showed a good throwing arm and some poise under adverse conditions. As of Tuesday he was slated as the starting quarterback quar-terback for this week. Junior Doug Lee will be ready as a back up and will start on defense, de-fense, Doug cut his right hr.nd against the Braves and had five stitches in it. One move the Viking coaches are thinking about is having Aaron Buttars play some offense as well as defense. de-fense. UP FRONT the Vikes ill go to war with Jerry Miller, Mark Law, Craig Roberts. Greg Booth. Brent Home and Brian Spencer. In the secondary Brett Roberts. lad Lindsey. Ted Jones, Lee and Mark Smedley will try to stop the Cats passing attack. Troy Larsen. Paul Jensen and Martin Mar-tin Tclaroli will be at linebackers lineback-ers to stop the run and pass. On offense the Vikes will be trying to find a way to get Steve Caputo in the open field, whether it be by the pass or run. Bountiful pretty well contained con-tained the speedy junior who is anxious for a big game against the Cats. Senior Rodger Davis hopes to get the Vikes back on the winning track |
