OFFENSIVE Line - Other names .. besides those already mentioned would include people like Patt Mal185) and loy, Kenny Stoker (5-Scott Ferrin 190). One thing is for sure, if the offensive line can jell together and create some open running room, Clearfield might be a terror at stopping on the ground. The Falcons are blessed with some very solid and speedy runningbacks this season who, if given some daylight, might make the Falcons side of the scoreboard do fireworks. One of the leaders here will have to be junior Vaughn Waite (6-215). Hancock counts on Waite carrying his load because of his 2, size and quickness. getting ready mentally, cock. Its mainly said Han- CLEARFIELD will also go with Dennis Langford upfront and Pat Ott as well. If Ott, Langford and Waite can go both ways, offensively and defensively, then Clearfield might have a lot of their line problems solved. Other defensive people who will stand out are ihe teams defensive ends in Ken Drayford (6-- 215), Kevin Williams (6-190) and Jeff Folk (6-185).

Batchelor was steady all season from the middle linebacker slot where hell play again this season. BOTH BATCHELOR and Roberts are hard working and rugged kids. When theyre not playing on defense, well have them run: ning the ball from the fullback position, said Hawkins. Lat week, it was Batchelor and Roberts who were selected to be team captains long with Robert Ferneau and Brian Bailey. LAYTONS outside linebackers will include Bart Vernon 170), Steve Lyndsey (6-185) and Dan 170). Bankhead Vernon started for Layton at flanker and didnt play any defense. Lyndsey didnt play a down of varsity football last year and Bankhead will be moving from a defensive back position to a linebacker spot. (5-- sive ideas off the ground. BRIAN IS doing super, figuring out things by himself and executing with consistency. I have to say that Bailey, Roberts and Ferneau in the offensive backfield make up one of the most skilled bunch of people that weve had here in a long time, Hawkins said. Running backs - Roberts and Batchelor give Layton a punch at the fullback spot while Ferneau may be one of the fastest tailbacks in the area. HAWKINS seems really pleased with his offensive firepower. Receivers - Vernon will be back here again at flanker and Jeff Nabors will team up there too. Hawkins says both of these guys are genuinely good high school flankers, not wanting to trade them for anyone. , DARRELL Martin is coming around at wide receiver, especially having never really played the (5-1- 1, position. DEFENSIVE Backs - The DBs in Clearfield this year have fair speed and good football sense. Hancock says that Eric Murray could be a fine defensive back before its all over. A list of Clearfield candidates for the backfield are Todd Ferguson, Mark Glouser, Don Howell, James Nickerson, Brad Sherwood, Mark Adams, Shawn Openshaw and Chris Garcia. Darrell Hicks may come back to do the job after he recovers from a cracked collar begins. Hawkins himself was pleased with the progress as well, j Weve got a lot to learn because of the new offense, its not or man to the just blocking man-oHawkins. said right," n THE OFFENSIVE people, though not blessed with a lot of size, are quick off the ball. Some of the people not mentioned from the defensive list are Todd Miya, Brent Higgs, Shane Harris and big Rex Brimhall at tight end. Kortright could be one of the better centers in the league before its all over while Barker and Frazier will probably Ha rAOiilnrc Quarterback Starting at quarterback for the second straight season will be senior, Brian Bailey. i Bailey has played baseball for Hawkins for a couple of years and with that these two appear close . and ready to get the latters olfen-- 3, 7, (5-1- 0, 9, line--me- - Perhaps the strength of this team could be in its running attack. There are a string of good ones starting with Boseman, Porter and Carter and following right through with Fergason, Derik Scott, Paul Taylor, Brian Hunt and Pepo Olivas. THE DEPTH is there but the good ole adage still remains true, the backs will be no better than the big guys in front of them. Boseman, Porter and Fergason are the seniors while Carter leads the junior list. RECEIVERS - Before his injury, Darrell Hicks was the top candidate at receiver, but he should be back within three or four weeks. Don Howell, Mark Adams and Eric Murray will also be in there catching the football. Brad Sherwood above) will battle for the quarterback slot in quick to play the middle linebacker position. Davis answer to this position this year will be guys like, 170), Mike Vaughn Casdorph (5-Robinson (5-- 1 1, 200), Kevin Hutchins, Chris Card and Keith! Hunsaker. Jokingly, but serious, Dickson stated that Casdorph sometimes forgets how big he really is. He goes out there and takes on everyone but he really plays like hes 8 and 270 pounds. The kid has intensity and we like that, even though I dont want him to hurt himself. When he does meet someone head-oyou can be sure theyll be a wreck. 6-- n, ROBINSON may not look like fast but he has a knack of getting the job done.

OUR BIGGEST concern here takes time to get it is timing. It just said down like we like it, Dickson. Quarterback - The Darts, after one week of practice, were, having a hard time making a decision who to use at quarterback. The candi- -' dates are both seniors who include Casey Lloyd and Greg Norton. BOTH OF them have beenj doing things well and we have the good problem of trying to choose between them. Theyre both good athletes and we will probably use both of them, said Dickson. break-awa- y threat this season while Robinson will be the club's big fullback. RECEIVERS - On the receiving end this year will be some capable receivers in guys like Roger Clawson and Mike Cady at tight end. Keith Hunsaker, Todd Snarr and Greg Willard will man the split end positions. We will throw when we can but weve got the people who can catch the football I think said Dickson.

Two juniors, Greg Willard (62, 140) and Kurt Mounteer 145) will be in there fighting too. 'Weve got some kids that hav played here before, said Dickson. Even if they didnt start regularly last year.

RUNNINGBACKS - Mastering the double wing this season will be a tandem of backs that have varying degrees of knowledge about the offense, but who are all capable. David Kinard, Carter Hatch, Troy Butterfield, Kelly Ryujin, Mike Robinson, Todd Marriott and Ted Collins are the seniors. Chris Card is the lone junior.

Getting a shot at the four spots will be Roger Clawson (6-205), Andy Neff (6-- 3 , 200), Rody Steve Pearson Meacham(6-1,225- ), (6-205), 210), Jubal Frost (6-Erik Thompson 180) and Scott Ward (5-- 165) all of which are seniors.

The Layton staff is confident that Montano wont allow the defense to get beat deep. - Playing the other corner will be Steve Estoque, who is blessed with a little extra quickness like the others. Hes little, but tough, said Hawkins. A lot of heart. i OFFENSIVE Line - Working liard and learning the new plays is (he motto of the offensive line. Both Jones and Flint have beeh intense on helping their big people See the picture before the schedule e WHEN IT comes down to a battle between two guys, if theyre both the same in the terms of their aggressiveness, the big guy is going to win just because of his size. Im hoping we can come out and channel some aggressiveness into positive things. But generally I sense the kids wanting to get after it. After one week they wanted to play a game and get their swan song underway. For the seniors its their last chance, they know that. ITS A group of kids that are working as hard as anyone. I like their quickness and heads up play, he said. Defensive Backs - Leading the pack here will be returning starter and Robert Ferneau.
