Show Trivial Awards That Didn't Make the Banquets Bit By KENT SOMERS Its Review Sports Editor one of those rules that every takes for granted, like not mow ing your yard before 10 a.m. on a Saturday, filling the ice trays when you put them back into the freezer and reading the Sunday comics in ' your bath robe. Its an unwritten rule that is' going to lose its unwritten status. The rule is simple: Athletes and one . coaches who do a good job during the season will receive an award for that job at the end of said season. This rule has kept small trophy shops engraving in the worst of economic times. But the rule ignores many during a sporting season, and also shuns the trivial and idiotic things that occur during the year. In order to recognize the previously unrecognized, here are a few of this years best and worst perform-anceplaces and events. acorn-plishmen- ts ; s, The Davis Imitation of a Cave Smartest High School football field. The Darts field barely beats out the Mann Movie Theaters for this honor. Davis field is so dark and dank the Darts should change their name lights at high school football fields.

With only the relay left, Viewmont led the defending champion, Hillcrest, by one point in the boys division. The Hillcrest foursome rallied to nip Clearfield and Layton at the finish line and gave the Huskies their third straight title. Viewmont finished a disappointing fifth in the race. Even though we were up by one point, I knew it was all over before the race, said Viewmont Coach Lynn Dubois. Dubois said he knew his teams weakness was in the relays but he was still satisfied with the second-plac- e finish. Dubois had contested the results of the 100 meters race which ended in photo finish between Viewmonts: Jon Warner and Hillcrests Marty Haws. The automatic timei? and hccut-rac- k picture of the finish put Haws as an .02 second margin winner. But Dubois said he thinks the decision was debatable. But Warner won the 200 meters in another photo finish. 4-- A 4-- A Viewmonts a new state record in the mile relay. Clearfield had come of a second of within setting a new record at the Weber State Invitational and were the favorites to win the event. Anchor runner Stephanie Clements ran the final quarter mile in 57 seconds and overtook a Hillcrest runner in the final stretch to give Clearfield the win and the state record. This is the first time weve been pushed this year, said Clearfield Coach Roger Buhr-leOur girls were real tired and they all had to dig down deep. Theyre pretty excited about getting the record and it took some of the bitterness out of the other events. Clearfields narrow victory in the final event put Hillcrest in a tie with Weber for the girls title.

Dubois estimates that this injury cost his team at least six points, which makes this years meet a what might have been situation for his Region Four champions. Viewmont scored 80 points to Hillcrests 87. In the girls division, Clearfield brought the large crowd in attendance to its feet by setting 4-- two-tent- y. 440-yar- their respective teams to third and fourth place finishes. VonColln easily won the discuss event Friday by a margin of almost eight feet over teammate Kim Thurgood. In Saturdays discus event, VonColln s final attempt at a state record fell 15 feet short with a mark of 165 2. Still, the throw was 15 feet ahead of the next competitor and 25 feet in. front of the third place mark. Cooper swept to double vic tories in both the 400 and 800 meters Saturday. Praised as a helluva performance by Lay-to- n Coach Russ Jones, Cooper went on to pace his team to a e close finish in the mile relay. The final results show a strong showing by Davis County schools.

We never have had two flat games in a row, said Bitner. We had one yesterday (Wednesday), but I knew that they (the Darts) could easily bounce back today. And bounce back the Darts did, scoring two goals in the first half, and concentrated on defense the rest of the game to win the state championship, DAVIS HIGH'S soccer team scored two first half goals against Brighton last week, and concentrated on defense for the rest of the state championship soccer game. Trent Cox, number seven, and Rick Youngberg, number 1 1 , watch as Brighton s goalie stops a scoring attempt. . r 2-- 0. Davis first goal came on a corner kick by the tournaments most valuable player, Brian Bacon, who booted the ball past Bengal goalie Mike Peacock. We have been scoring on those all year long, said Bitner. Brian has a beautiful kick into the goal like that. He gets it close enough that if it doesnt get touched it will go in. It has a banana hook on it. In fewer words, its beautiful, Bitner said. The Darts scored their second goal with 14:30 left in the first half, thanks to another over, said Bitner. I have 11 seniors on the team and I have two or three that will go on to play some college ball, corner kick by Bacon, who wasnt trying to score on this kick. or some intramural ball. Bacon passed the ball in front of the goal from the corner where Ryan Smith knocked it in with a header, and the Darts were ahead Davis moved Bacon back to a midfield position in the 2-- 0. second half and played defense the remainder of the afternoon. Brighton had a chance on a corner kick in the second half but the ball was deflected by Bacon. The Bengals had another chance in the second half on a free kick, but the Brightons Jon Hall booted the ball five feet to the left of the net and lead Davis maintained its through the remainder of the 2-- 0 game. The third and final game of the series was the closest. In the first game, Davis easily in defeated the Bengals, what many people thought was an upset. Their beliefs seemed to 6-- gain validity when the Bengals came back the next day and to beat the Darts, send the tournament into an extra day. They (the Darts) knew that there was no tomorow 5-- and after this it was all ' A . Those 11 seniors got together and led the way ; They led the way with their mental attitude, said Bitner. Davis received outstanding play in the tournament from goalie Scott Argyle, who, along with the rest of the Darts defense, was able to shut out the Bengals for the first time this season. It is also the first officially sanctioned high school soccer title ever won in the state. We did a lot to pave the way for it, Bitner said. There isnt a finger holding up number one because were not that way. We are not hot dogs. We arent showy, we dont have to be, Bitner said. The game gave credence to what Region Four coaches have been saying all year that the region was the toughest high school soccer league in the state. And who could question that now? Woods Cross, another Region Four school, won the championship last year, and Bountiful won in 1981 in tournaments. unofficial |
