AND NEITHER of these guys likes to hog the limelight by achieving athletic prowess as individuals. For those reasons and many more good ones, it's no wonder David and Jeff Kinard were tabbed as the outstanding male athletes at Davis High and Farmington Junior respectively. that Davis High School and Farmington Junior High selected the Kinard brothers as two of the outstanding male athletes for the past school year.

By KEITH DUNCAN Journal Sports CLEARFIELD - Summer basketball camps are beginning to have enough variety and notarity that a kid these days can almost find one in his own backyard. -- LITERALLY thats the case in Clearfield these days as Craig e desire of putting on his own Hansen decided to fulfill a camp. And the verdict is out on the success. By most standards, Hansen's first Davis County Summer Basketball Camp was a smashing success. long-tim- alone the camp was successful, according to the Falcons' basketball team every winter. leads Hansen who for me to hard Its speak about our own thing, but the camp was exactly what we wanted it to be. We had plenty of kids, the facilities were fantastic (they used the two Clearfield High gymnasiums), and the kids got all the basketball they wanted over a weeks period of time," said Hansen. For several years now, Clearfield High as well as other local schools, have sent their kids to distant Price, Utah for a summer basketball clinic. But says Hansen, It was getting to be a hassle to go that far and the cost was always a concern (the price reaching well ovcr the $100 figure). BY NUMBERS WE (HANSEN and some fellow coaches in the area) decided to put on our own thing here. Our facilities are better than those used in Price and our cost was considerably cheaper ($50 a player instead of $150). Let's just say that the kids loved it and I know we will be doing it again next year. A riot at a soccer game in Britain left 38 dead and hundreds wounded, and a Weber State College psychologist said it wouldnt take much for the same thing to happen in the United States. DR. W. Bruce Haslam, chairman of the Weber State psychology department, said that thousands pour onto football fields after games to tear down goal posts, basketball fans boo and throw things at the players, baseball fans dump beer on outfielders, and he noted that if the circumstances were right those fans could erupt into vio- lence. Dr. Haslam said, If people get upset, and in the right situation, things can happen. It wouldn't take a lot to trigger something.

Ive literally had to turn kids away from the junior high aged camp because we dont have the facilities or the instructors to take them all on. I believe the word leaked out of how successful the first week was." said Hansen. THE CAMP certainly had its variety. Lunch was served every day, the fast food style. If it wasnt local fast food stations serving it up then it was Brooke Hicks (a former Falcon himself) bringing all the fried chicken the kids could eat from a local quick stop in town. There were certainly no complaints in the food department. THE KIDS certainly couldn't complain about the $50 enrollment, said Hansen. It included their meal tickets and we fed them good. Similar type camps that are conducted on the campus in our area cost these kids anywhere from $150 to $200 a week." The camp also featured a todays summer sports camps. common place thing at HANSEN ALSO puts a little more emphasis on recognition and spent over $100 on awards that were given out the last day.

The district was in favor of the local camp because as Hansen said, they dont want to see kids pay $100 to $200 to attend camps where they have to travel long distances. In the future, getting players wont be any problem." said Hansen, I believe you'll see more schools here next year and it may get to a point where Davis County will eventually run their own camp while Weber County schools will do their own as well."
