Show FEBRUARY 3, 1987 Braves conquer Darts By KEITH DUNCAN We would BOUNTIFUL have lost to anyone the way we said Davis John Robiplayed, was just one of those It son. nights. Previously unbeaten Davis High School sputtered and stuttered last Friday night en route to a 0 loss to Bountiful High, thus dropping them at 1 into a first place tie with 55-5- 4-- the Braves after the first round of Region Four basketball play. On Tuesday of this week, the Darts were to have traveled to Highland for a rematch with the Rams. That contest was slated for 7:30 p.m. On Friday of this week, Davis is to return home for a meeting with the Woods Cross Wild-Cel- ts The Darts just couldnt get it going against Bountiful, never obtaining the lead and only sharing The Braves perhaps it once at could have run away with the game, but they too didnt post their best effort. Both teams shot a miserable 42 percent from the field for the night. Bountifuls Mike Hall called it a great defensive effort from both teams. His team was successful in carrying out their gameplan which was to pack it in tight to stop Curtis Stoddard and fly out to stop Jeff Pearson, that according to Bountifuls center, Chad Rigby. We did well in packing the zone in to stop Stoddard and also did well to fly out and stop Pearson, said Rigby, Wed worked all week long in packing that thing in because Davis has been successful 4-- 4. in going inside. But beating Davis is no easy task. Those guys come ready to play. Rigby ended the game with 15 points to go along with John Bountifuls Chad Rigby (54) lays this shot in as Davis Highs Mike Welling (30) looks on during the Braves 0 region 55-5- victory Friday night. Ca-hoo- ns 17, the latters effort being a career best. Bountifuls fine guard, Joey Covey, also gave the defense the credit for the win. Defense won it. Davis always tries to look for the back pick over the top with (Jeff) Pearson usually doing the most damage on it. But I dont think they got one of them all night. Were getting better, said Covey. This win will really give us a boost. Bountiful travels to East this Lancers fall at Roy, Falcons suffer also Both Clearfield and Layton boys basketball teams lost their games last Friday, a couple of de- feats that were hard to swallow. Clearfield lost a 1 game to Bonneville, but had the Lakers on the ropes all night. Layton meanwhile, fell at Roy to fall to 2 in league play. Layton lost the game their worst defeat of the year in region action. 75-7- Lancers all night was a trapping press which enabled Stan Buchanans club to keep the score close. Layton was led in scoring by Stan Banks 15 points and Albert full-cou- rt Chappels 13. Leaders in Scoring, Region Ope; bound. But despite all that. Bountiful still only led after three stops. The Braves werent exactly ripping the nets with high percentages. One of the Darts problems on Friday night was their ball control. Davis threw the ball away 23 times compared to eight for the Braves. Those 23 turnovers resulted in 21 Bountiful points, which hurt. Cahoon came out real quick to start the fourth quarter, hitting four points to give Bountiful a 2 lead. In fact Bountiful continued to maintain a fairly comfortable lead until the Braves started launching shots. Once long ahead Bountiful saw its lead as Pearson got hot. The cut to 5 senior forward scored six straight points there and ended the last quarter with 10 points. For the night he concluded things with a game high 21 points. But the final quarter ended how it started as Cahoon hit four straight freethrows to ice the win 38-3- 14-1- 2 42-3- 51-4- 2, 28-2- 28-2- Stoddard was perhaps Davis most valuable player on Friday as he ripped down 11 rebounds and scored 15 points. The hard working senior played aggressively from start to finish. Bountifuls Hall commented after the game about Stoddard, saying, Hes as fine a high school player for his size as Ive seen in a long time. Stoddard shot an amazing five or six from the field but converted only five of nine freethrow attempts. Davis guardline went only one for ten from the field for the entire game. Davis ended up outrebounding Bountiful, 32 to 26. We got beat, plain and simple, said Davis Robison after the game. We couldnt have beaten anyone the way we played. And Bountiful deserves the credit, at least quite a bit of it. You know, after playing games during the course of a season, youre bound to have nights like we had.

All games begin at 4 p.m. 4-- 4-- balance. 24-1- 7. 71 Coach Craig Hansens Falcons played hard but came up short at Bonneville, losing The Falcons forged ahead 8 after one quarter and were trailing only 7 after two full quarters of action. Clearfields Bill Spangenthal brought his club to within one, 8 with one minute left in the third quarter, but thats when Bonneville went on a terrorizing scoring spree. The Lakers outscored Clearfield 1 to take a 9 lead and it appeared things were vall over for the Falcons. But thats when Bonnevilles Richard Hall and Kendall Youngblood began getting in serious foul trouble. With those guys out, Clearfield but came back within four, the comeback sputtered there as the Falcons missed some crucial 75-7- 1. 23-1- first lead at 34-3- 3 when Flint hit a hoop with 1:22 left in the third period. She later hit another basket at the buzzer to tie the game at after three. The Lancers appeared to have this one put away when they grabbed a five point lead at 2 halfway through the final period. Hoops by Nimori and Janice Woodruff helped build that lead. But Roy wouldnt give up. Perry fouled out with 2:50 to go on a play that appeared to be a clean block. Roy got back to within three at 6 on a basket by Michelle Stites, but a pair of free throws by Nimori with 37 seconds left made it 39-3- 38-a- 49-4- 15-- Brian Olson got Davis only offensive field goal of that quarter. The only other field goal at all, came from a Mike Welling offensive re- for Bountiful. Lancers also began putting pressure on the Royals, who with turnovers. By halftime, Layton had cut that deficit in half, trailing In the third period, Perry really made her presence known. She not only grabbed several rebounds, but blocked five shots. Meanwhile, Nimori, Barnes and Day, with help from Natalie Flint, began hitting some key baskets. Layton took its 75 CLEARFIELD BONNEVILLE throughout the second quarter. The Darts offensive woes continued in the third quarter as only The 3-- 73-5- 7, Tuesday for their sixth game of the region schedule. Both teams played well defensively," said Hall. "In fact it was about as good a defensive game as youll see. Davis made it tough for us to get our shots inside, despite their lack of size. It feels good to beat Davis, but we know it wont be a piece of cake at their place. This whole thing could turn out to be something like last season. Bountiful led after one quarter, The Braves were getting most of their points inside as Jim Walton, Rigby and Cahoon went aggressively to the basket. Stoddard on the other hand, kept Davis in the game with six first quarter points, playing as well inside as anyone. Bin as the game progressed, Davis offensive scheme did nothing but sputter. Their first offensive field goal of the second quarter didnt come until the Pearson with 4:20 left. The Braves built up a 0 lead at one time before Pearson connected on a long three point shot, at the buzzer, to cut the half-tim- e score to 3 for Bountiful.
