Viewrr.ont at East. Layton at West. too-ba- ll Top Elevens Those four teams may be the top teams in the state and nearly every Class AAA coach who has a shot at a playoff berth will likely travel to Salt Lake to scout those games. And they should see two great games. West has beaten Skyline, in its and Viewmont last two games and is turning into the surprise team of 1971. A big reason for the Panther surge is Dave OBagy 15-1- 7-- is back after being injured. The big Panther can play any position and seldom leaves the lield for a rest. Coach Gean Plaga has installed the winning spirit in players like Chad Dreckse!, and Gary Rick Bourdeaux Thomson and the Panthers, despite losses to Clearfield and Davis, are in the running. Something Gives who By Tom Wharton Tribune Sports Writer West has given up only 56 points this year. Layton has scored 180. Needless to say, something will have to give. Layton aces Neil Call, Bill Strong, Mike Stevens and Brad Bubak will have to crack the tough West defense. Up at East, Viewmont will be fighting for its playoff life. The Vikings have lost two games and, should they lose a they would be hard to gain a playoff spot. The Leopards, on the other hand, need the win to stay ahead of West and Skyline in the division two race for state. Viewmonts Bill Cook, Phil Jensen and Clyde Nelson will try to outscore Easts Tony Romney, Jim Gunnell and Lane Taggart in what could be a prep classic. third, pressed CHARLOTTE, N.C.

Crucial Game organization. When a coach starts to mold a group of young men on the first day of practice, he does not know what to expect when the season is over. A football team, like any other part of organized society, combines individual desires into a common goal. When a group of individuals, who have probably known each other less than two years, must be molded into a team, much work must take Barry Miller place. Viewmont High School has a typical football team. The Vikings practice as hard, sacrifice as much and learn as much as any other high school football team. Perhaps, a little more. In order to find out what makes a football team click, we spent a little time talking with coach Steve Dangerfield and members of the Viewmont team about their football team. The comments of Dangerfield, Clyde Nelson, Eill Cook, Phil Jensen, Barry Miller, Dave Cullimore and Kris Burningham were interesting. Doing the Job When Bill gets his name in the paper for said Dave, I know Im scoring touchdowns, on defense. After all, all of us cant doing my part have our names in the paper but, without defense or good blocking on offense, wed never win. Bill agreed. Our offense is a working unit. Weve had to have double practice sessions before school started and Saturday sessions during school to get our offense down. Cullimore summed up the players feelings about the sacrifices they have to make when he said, We view the practices, the training rules all that stuff as necessary evils. Athletics are fun and I cant think of anything Id rather do. Desire said Barry. Thats the only word that can describe what makes a good football team. If a group of guys can get together and give 100 percent, then theyre a good team." We never really knew each other until we got to high school, explains Kris. But now that we to win for Viewmont all have a common goal each other quite known it seems as though weve awhile. Why do I trouble myself to play athletics? asks Clyde. Because I love them. I just dont know what Id do if I couldnt play on a team. I try to establish a group of individuals as a team early in the season, says Dangerfield. Each school has a certain number of good athletes. A coach has to establish a good program and learn how to motivate his kids. If he can develop a unity before that first game, then hell have a good club. Had to Learn Phil Jensen was a little different than his teammates. I dont really like school, says Phil, and I had to learn to like football. But now, if I didnt have football, what would I do? I wouldn't go home and study. You have to have pride in yourself and do the best possible job to be a good athlete." concluded Fhil. Jensen, who would likely have little interest in a college education if it wasnt for athletics, will go to college because of his athletic abilities. Because this team this has looked to him for leadgroup of individuals ership and given him a reason for staying in school, Phil could turn out to be one of the best college football players to come from Utah in recent years. What makes a football team? Who knows? The Viewmont players said a lot of things about sacrifices, teamwork, and pride. But the Viewmont spirit, like the West spirit, the American Fork spirit, the Bingham spirit, any team spirit, is an intangible feeling that cant be described in words. i, holds the key Hillcrest, that division. The Huskies meet surprising Jordan, in a crucial game Friday and, should they get by the they will meet the Colts in the final game of the season. The situation in division two is even more confused. Judge, Cyprus, Bingham and Tooele all are tied for first place with in 2-- Hebei Creeper Proves Hotshot at Olympus Beet-digger- s, records. 2- -i The top game in that division Friday will pit the Pirates, with Kerry Rupp and Denny Dilley at the helm, against the Bulldogs, with Barber and Ralph Gary Yanni, and that game could be a dandy. Region Four American Fork seems to have the Region Four Class AAA title all wrapped up. The Cavemen can cinch a tie for a state berth with a win over Pleasant Grove. In Region One, Logan appears to be on its way to a quarterfinal berth in division one. In division two, however, and Bonneville, Roy, will battle it out Weber, for the other spot. The Class AA race for state is a little more sound. Payson has clinched its quarterfinal berth while Moab has earned the right to play a Region Five team for a berth and Judge has earned a playoff with a Region Four club. Clinched Tie ;. Richfield has clinched at least a tie for a berth. Union is in good shape to take a Region Five berth while Wasatch will most likely meet Moab for a berth. Emery could get some opposition from Juab but seems likely to take the other Region Seven berth. seems to have Dixie, one Region Eight berth up but Millard, and Cedar, battle each other Friday night in Cedar City and the winner of this game should grab the other berth. wapped , Class A Battles In the Class A ranks, Monti-cell- hasnt clinched a spot yet but appears to be headed for a playoff spot for a semifinal berth while South Sevier appears to be in good shape for the other playoff for a semifinal berth.

"The best thing about being Cox. a runner is breaking tackles and finally getting away from everyone and dashing down the field, says Dan. His best game this year was against Bountiful. Cox scored three touchdowns and rushed for 201 yards. He rates Layton as the toughest defensive team he has faced and Viewmonts Phil Jensen as the toughest defender.
