Jeff has great speed and loves to get in on the tackles. Hell be the main stay in the Braves defense. Bountiful also has three runners who saw some action last year although none as starters. John Luddington, Brad LaCombe and Mike Krammer will all see a lot of action this season. squads. AFTER ALL this group of seniors has lost only one game during their first two As jears at the school sophomores they lost a game to Layton but came back as juniors to go through the LUDDINGTQN has been the most called upon of the three during the first two years, John has good speed and also likes to run up the middle. LaCombe has been called the best blocking back in Brave history, he can also get the campaign junior avarsity loss. without Its not uncommon for to have only a couple of players returning, Coach Paul Waite likes to play the seniors. Many of these players saw varsity action last season but only a few of them saw a lot of action. ONE OF the reasons the Braves have high hopes this year is the arm of senior Lynn Muir, considered by some to be the top quarterback in the area. Lynn has been the signal caller for this group of athletes for a long time, and he has a very strong throwing arm. Currently Lynn is recovering from a knee operation and time will only tell what effect it will have on both him and the team. Word is that hell Bountiful miss the first two tough yards when needed. Krammer could possibly be the best of the three, he is big and has excellent speed. Another name back is that of senior Scott Stewart who will probably be on both sides of the line as a tight end and a defensive end Scott is a product of the weight program at Bountiful as his playing weight will go around 200 pounds BLAINE BERNARD saw action as safety a year ago and has been called another coach on the field. This group of athletes have become acquainted with winning, they have that attitude about them If Muir comes back strong then the Braves will be strong, until then they will be looking for a signal caller. n games but will be back in time for region action DEFENSIVELY the bright spot is the return of Jeff An 978 & Editor's Note: With summer weight programs underway at the various high schools a lot of people have been asking about the upcoming football teams in the area. Here is the first of several articles dealing with the high school teams. Today the articles deal with the top returning players from each club. BGMntiiul 1 By DAVE WIGHAM athlete, LAYTON Last season the Layton football team led the state in number of close ex- ball games. The Lancers have six players back from that squad with some good and then some not so good memories of a year ago. citing GOOD MEMORIES like the win over Bountiful for the region title will always be talked about, as will the dramatic loss to Olympus in the state semi-finals. Gone from the great club the Lancers had a year ago are names like Ben Bubak, l, Maurice Turner, Wane Sam Gallegos, Brian Wick, Ron Atkinson and many others. Back for their final season are guys like Chuck Ehin, Brandon Flint, Todd Stapley, Art Leota, Doug Littlefield and Charles Kit-trel- Wahler. HAS LAYTON always produced the great athletes, especially in the football tradition. Rod Bockwoldt, now with the Dallas Cowboys, Nelson of the Claude Minnesota Vikings plus a dozen or more now playing m the college ranks ali got their start in a Layton uniform. This year is no exception as some of the Lancer players have already caught the eye of many college scouts. Leading the list would have to be Chuck Ehin who has had colleges watching him since about the third grade. Chuck will probably be the most sought after football player in the state this year, at 4 and around 250 pounds hell certainly be one of the biggest. Chuck also possesses good speed for his size. (S COACH GARY Hansen of the Lancers believes that' Ehin could become the best V; to come , football-wise- out of the school. Thats a great compliment consider- A ing those who have played m the blue and blue. Right next to Ehin on the college list, and on the line, will be another bookend in Brandon Flint. Brandon is no little guy himself, although next to Ehm he might appear that way. With Flint at one end of the line and Ehin at the other running against the Lancers could prove hard BOTH FLINT and Ehm are quick for their size which adds more problems to the opposition. A third member of the line slated to return for another year of action is Doug Littlefield Doug has good size and speed which might prompt the coaches to take a iook at him at a linebacker spot. LAYTON ALWAYS seems to come up with some of the best running backs in the area and they have a couple of good ones again this year. Last year Todd Stapley was used primarily as a blocker but this season will be called on to run with the ball more although he will also keep up his blocking for teammate Art Leota. ) It was Leota who came in during the state games for the injured Turner and did a good job. These two give the Lancers a great one-tw- o punch. DEFENSIVE BACK and wide receiver Charles Wahler is back for his third year, this is the speedster of the club who seems to be around the ball on both sides of the line. With these six players back from a year ago to provide some and experience leadership the Lancers again look to be one of the top teams sAt&SZ-- . in the region. 6 Fishing has slowed because of the hot weather, but many still catch their limits. Rex Stuart caught these at SLOWER FISHING? uiir U Li By DAVE WIGHAM tioned though he always keeps a few spots open for - KAYSVILLE There are always certain things in this world that you can count on. The sun will come up m the Last and set in the West. those talented juniors. True it does take a while to learn that Davis offense, affectionately called the Kays-vill- e wishbone, what with their double wings, reverses, fake reverses and passes. They used to say that the football players were dumb, not so at the Dart house, you have to think quick and act accordingly. Johnny Carson will miss more Tonight shows than he hosts. Salt Lake City papers will write about their own schools in sports. And Davis High will be near the top in high school football SEEMS to ask of the Dart coaches. Why do they stay with the double wing offense, it went out of style with the invention of the forward pass? My reply to them is always the same, when winning goes EVERYONE THE LATTER of these absolutes is the most amazing of all When you stop to consider the method of operation at the school one has to wonder how they win every year. Each year the Darts are hit hard by graduation. Only a sprinkling of players returns with any kind of varsity the same question out so will the Kaysville wishbone. The one player that the Davis club has to look up to this year is senior Mike Mounteer. Mike has become d one of the best athletes at the school and he is well acquainted with the experience. Yet the Davis coaches always manage to have a few with experience to be the team leaders. COACH CULLIMORE is very polite and implicit about his method of coaching. Coach feels that by the time the kids are seniors they know the system and have earned the right to play. As men football system. Probably Mike will see action on both a wing back and as a safety. TRAGEDY LAST year sides of the line as OUR SEMI - ANNUAL Continues MERLENS r' W WE HAVE ITEMS TOO NUMEROUS TO LIST!!! So Come on Over And Enjoy Our SAVING FROM: v OFF NEW ITEMS ADDED DAILY By DAVE WIGHAM BOUNTIFUL - One bright an otherwise dismal season last year for the View-mofootball team was the opportunity the coaches had to play some of the younger players on the team. This spot In year those youngsters are back to form the nucleus for this years version of Vikings. this year for the Vikes is a coaching change that came about with the resignation of one of their coaches and the changing of schools by another. With Bob Ashdown the leaving coaching ranks and then Val Cullimore going over to Woods Cross, the Vikings needed to pick up a couple of coaches for the varsity club. Ron Tree who has been with the sophomore program the past few years has gone up to the varsity level and then John Edwards was also hired to work with the big boys. Both players and coaches are excited over the assignment of Edwards who was a quarterback for the Weber State team a few years ago. THREE STARTERS, as juniors, are back this year in their senior campaign to provide the leadership for the club. Doug Day, Jim Miller and Craig Corry are all back with a years experience behind them. the biggest Viking and lh5 coming back at pounds Doug saw action as both a ttRht end and defensive end last season and will probably" go both ways again this season. Doug has caught the eye of several colleges and should be a standout for the T4 Vikes. JIM MILLER Is the fiery type of player that every team ,VLct should have. Jim was the regular safety for the Vikes all last season and will hold cal-icgaqira- Mai the defensive gy wn4 OaAhte Uyten, UM the line this year. Not big compared to some schools around but compared to some of the players the Darts have had at tackles and guards in the past, these guys are huge. Jon Warden and Kevin Cnd-dl- e head the list of so called biggies for the Darts. DAVIS HAS a rich tradition when it comes to football and this years club has no intention of ruining that tradition. Bet on the Darts to at least show again this season. Befura o Lead Battle Day is SHfi-7- 1 The current warm weather has resulted in a slowdown in the catch rate of fish, however 7 Wfaes ALSO NEW CfJ AT looks to be a blessing this season in the quarterback spot. Ryan Hill was injured late in the season and that forced the Darts to give the reins to junior Todd VanBrocklin, a football name if ever there was one, in the state playoffs. Todd came in under heavy pressure for a junior and responded well. That short time of experience has to give Todd a confidence plus this season. Rumor has it that the Darts will have a little bit of size on secondary together again this year. Jim has good speed and is very "A , 70 (Men so Again In , A hard hitter who likes to be near the action Craig has good speed. BRENT HALES came on at the end of last season to play some linebacker for the Vikes and is back along with Scott Smoot who started at defensive back at the end of the year. That gives the Vikes five players back on defense with experience. On the offensive side Ryan Sandford saw action at quar- terback and Larry Fry as a running back. Ryan has a good throwing arm and will be at the helm of the Viking offense while Larry just loves to carry the pigskin THESE SEVEN players will help mold the Vikings into a competitive squad this fall, one that will be reckoned with down the stretch. HELP Mrs. Arlene Jaque9 of Lay-towas injured Monday, July 17, as she attempted to cross n between cars on Gentile Street in Layton. Mrs. Jaques was taken to the Davis North Medical center for treatment of the serious injuries she received. THE ACCIDENT occurred at 11:45 a m. as Mrs. Jaques attempted to cross Gentile Street from south to north. She moved in front of a car Davis County is very limited m the quality and quantity fishing waters available, but many youngsters are taking advantage of Farmington Pond this summer of THE HIGHER country such as the Uinta Mountains, is becoming more accessible each week, and fishing should be good for those willing to hike into the lakes and streams that dont get the heavy fishing pressure. The Division of Wildlife Resources will stock all lakes and streams as rapidly as conditions will allow the fish trucks access to the waters THE fisherman FOR interested in catching warm water fish, Willard Bay is producing some good catches of Channel Catfish in the 2 pound class. NUMEROUS anglers try their skills at landing some of the 4,500 catchable rainbow trout stocked periodically throughout the year. Some of the more ardent stream fishermen fish Farmington Creek at the head of Farmington Canyon, for rainbows, while others fish the very small creeks along the Davis County front for small cutthroat trout. The Weber River from the mouth of Weber Canyon should begin producing a few fish now that the spring runoff is subsided. German Brown, Cutthroat and Rainbow Trout are available for the fisherman working for them. AS A REMINDER to all those going tnto the mountainous country, please do not disturb young deer fawn. If you happen to find one in your path, just leave it alone. It might look abandoned, but more than likely the mother is nearby. It is unlawful to have fawn deer in your possession and you are subject to arrest if you take them home. One more reminder: please respect private property, and please dont litter any place in our beautiful outdoors. Thank you driven by Michael L. Hovey of East Layton. Mr. Hovey was traveling at a slow speed. He did not see Mrs. Jaques who moved from behind a car quick to come up and make a tackle. Corry got a baptism last year as the middle linebacker and will help solidify the defensive unit again this season.
