The plaques will be designed by J and J Engravings and Trophies of Layton. Pearson, who saw limited varsity action last year for John Robisons Darts, has bloomed into one of the states finest basketball stars. During the month of December Pearson averaged a very impressive 27.6 points per game. That same kind of effort has continued right into January where Pearson canned 25 against Bonneville and 30 more against Highland last Friday night. Ive really been impressed with Jeff s ability to handle the pressure of being a leader, said Robison. Hes one of those kids that saw limited action as a junior, but has bloomed into a senior leadership role. Weve been happy with the way Jeff has scored points for us, but Im the most pleased with his ability to improve in other areas like his defensive skills and his rebounding. "Through nine games of the year, Jeff just happened to be our Number One rebounder as well. Our hats go off to the Davis forward who becomes our fifth winner of the monthly award. Past winners include William Reid, Carl Darby, and twice the honor has gone to Davis Rob Warden. Other nominees for the December award included Warden again for his efforts in wrestling and Laytons Stan Banks for a fine December of basketball for the Lan- A shot of former Clearfield Falcon, Jeff Schofield hitting for two points in 1982 Schofield, Weber State need some time to heal 100-perce- nt ber State as the place to extend his college basketball experience.

Weber State on the other hand, was coming into this season with eight lettermen returning which ine e and three cluded two starters. That looked awifully good when you considered the fact Coach Larry Farmer had lost all five starters when he took the reigns of the job at the onset of the 1985-8in season, then went the process. But the 1986-8- 7 season has been a disappointment for both Weber State and Jeff. Schofield suffered a severe knee injury early in the year te again. Its too bad things arent faring so well, because many predicted in the beginning it would be such a sweet season for both. Schofield is the junior college transfer from Ricks College who once played high school basketball at Clearfield High School. In fact Schofield helped the Falcons to a fifth place finish in the 1982 playoffs by averaging 13 points and eight rebounds per game.
