Show w'r r DAVIS NEWS WEEKLY REFLEX ' ,1' rvyYWTTr i JOURNAL, FEBRUARY 16, 1978 i m tissday Games Gals fdore EJeec! Sports Programs By DAVE WIGHAM In talking to some of the girls coaches m the area one problem seems to keep popping up. That problem is the absence of a junior or sophomore program. THE BOY athletic teams compete on three levels, sophomore, junior varsity and varsity. The gals compete on one level, varsity. This means that the boys are getting coaching all the time from the time theyre sophomores up till they are the big guys on the varsity program. They get to have some competition with the other schools too all on one team. They compete m one game, unless special arrangements are made. In the boys basketball program there could be upwards of 40 players, all three included, while the gals have around are THE GALS 15. Lynn Dubois, the coach of the Viewmont girls, talks about the problem. "With our seniors playing as well as they are the juniors and sophomores just aren't getting the playing time. I come twice a week in the early mornings to work with the younger gals just so they get the practice." He went on to say that unless both coaches make arrangements beforehand that there is only a varsity game. He tries to schedule these other games as much as possible. ONE OF the problems with the program is the gym schedule. With three boys teams and one girls the gym space is and time is like gold at most schools. Maybe each school could schedule one regular class session for girls athletics, and another for sophomore boys. has the answer to the gym space which would allow the girls to deve'op all three years But the next time someone suggests that the boys are more skilled as seniors just remind that person that they get to compete from the sophomore level on up, while the girls only have a varsity program. No one By DAVE WIGHAM performances and times are any indication of what is to come then the Region One swimming championships will come down to a four team battle. Even at that one of those teams will be heavy favorites. DEPENDING on what happens on Friday night the best BOUNTIFUL, Viewmont, game should be the Region One contest with Roy invading Clearfield. Region Four has a couple of good games with Ogden playing at Woods Cross and Box Elder in the Davis High gym. In the other Region One games Sky View visits the Viewmont gym and Bountiful takes their act to Layton. Bonneville and Clearfield are all considered in the race for the top spot. Bountiful would have to be considered odds on favorites to win the title. After all the Braves have the top performers in seven of the nine swimming events. That ROY AND Clearfield, assuming both win Friday, could be fighting for the top honors in the league. Roy is riding high after beating leader Weber while the Falcons are still thinking about their triple overtime win over Sholtec, Mark Sindle and Kurt Bennington of Roy. Roy first meeting but the are tough at home. BOUNTIFUL and Layton are fighting for state playoff berths, the Braves need the win to stay alive in the race. The Braves won the first meeting of the two when they pulled away in the final Six people are also given a shot at the 200 yard freestyle race with Bountifuls Mitch Eiting having the best time. The next five top times are Brad Baugh of Clearfield, then Bountifuls Robert Reeder and Mike Quinn, Bonnevilles Allan Holopter and Viewmont Highs John period. Layton needs to stop Irvy Williams and Scott Pendleton while the Braves need to shut off Carl Woodward, Brandon Flint and Rory Dixon of the Lancers.

This game shapes up to be the individual efforts and stars from Ogden against the team approach for the Dart club. Biggest name in this game is Jackie Watkins of the Ogden crew. This jumping-jack- , he can get up and change the lights in the gym without a ladder, is averaging 21 points a game. Watkins can do everything, hell give the Darts fits with his shooting and rebounding. He can score from anywhere within fifteen feet, plus he gets a lot of second and third shots with his jumping ability. THIS FRIDAY the Darts get any breather as they have to travel up to the pit and battle the Ogden crew in Ogden in what will probably be an afternoon encounter, Davis has a 2 mark while mark. the Tigers have a A Tiger win would make things thick and heavy, but a Dart victory would all but nail the coffin on Ogden for any hopes of a league crown. dont 7 5-- EACH OF these two clubs have had troubles with certain games.

Maybe the Darts play just good enough to win, they play the same type of game as their opponents. Coaches will take that, just so long as they come out on the long end of the score.
