The Woods Cross High Schools Boys basketball coach of his winters (and summers, springs and falls for that matter) in gymnasiums, thinking about Fridays game or if he could contend for a region title next didnt want to spend all year. So Wayne Baker called it quits last week as the Wildcats basketball coach to assume the schools athletic directorship, as well as continuing to teach his regular load of drivers education and health courses. He will be replaced by his assistant coach, Clyde Jackson. The resignation was unexpected to those who didnt know Baker well. After all, wasnt this the man whose team looked invincible this year in the state tournament? Wasnt it the Wildcats who treated their oppo- - nents in the state tournament grew tired of, it was what the like Beaver Cleavers, shoving game demanded from him.
