Trophy cases throughout the Davis w School District are becoming in- creasingly full as prosperity shines favorably upon the schools. While it took the district 31 years to win its first 18 state athletic championships, the feat has been surpassed in the decade of the '90s. Nineteen titles, including eight in the last academic year, have been earned through the combined efforts of Bountiful, Clearfield, Davis, Layton, Viewmont and Woods Cross high schools. The Davis District's grand total now stands at 98. Davis High leads the way with 41 championships, while Bountiful is second with 18. Viewmont has 14 and is followed by Woods Cross (12), Clearfield (7) and Layton (6). Boys track and field has been responsible for 12 of the titles, while football is second with 11. Boys basketball and girls drill teams have each recorded 10 top finishes. Of the 20 competitive sports, the Davis District has climbed climb-ed the championship mountain in all but girls cross country, golf, boys and girls tennis, girls swimming swimm-ing and softball. Despite the shortcomings, the district is on a roll of sorts. Since assuming control of the Davis athletic programs in 1969, retiring district supervisor Jim Hill has seen his school's rack up 80 crowns. "We've put our first emphasis on academics and let extracurricular activities fall into place,' said Hill, who is stepping down June 30. "It takes care of itself when students put their eggs in the academic basket ' ' CHAMPIONSHIPS (Compiled by Jim Hill) Baseball (8): 1988 Bountiful, 1981 Bountiful, 1977 Davis, 1975 Viewmont, 1973 Viewmont, 1969 Viewmont, 1964 Clearfield, 1963 Davis.
