Saturday s night war 7 high urday ift low h Pi WHEN IT comes to wrestling and the Hammond family of Layton, Utah, the two go hand in hand. (Left photo) Here are the Hammonds boys who have made quite a name for themselves around the country in either USA Federation Wrestling or AAU wrestling. They include John David (top), and to r, standing, Jesse Levi, Joshua and Jeremy. They belong to the Sundance Wrestling Club of Salt Lake City and start the season in January and conclude it in July. Recently they just got home from the Grand Nationals of the AAU in Indianapolis, Indiana.

But adding extra insurance that dullness never prevails is seeing their four youngest sons take on the sport of wrestling like it was going out of style. HAVING John David, Jeremy, Jesse Levi and Joshua competing head-oin competitive wrestling has nearly become an institution in that family, but Dave and Penelope wouldnt have it any other way. Says Penelope, After seeing what its done for us. I'll take as many active-filledays as come. Afterall, wed probably go crazy if we had a normal dull day around attend various tournaments around the country and its not sur- prising at all that the Hammonds name is a household word when it comes to competitive action in either the USA Federation circles or the AAU ranks. Just recently the family returned no CHAM home from Indianapolis where they embarked upon the AAU Grand Nationals and once again came away with a fat share of awards. n d here." ITS ONE amazing story with this Layton family, wrestling being the main topic. For nearly seven years now, the Hammonds have embedded themselves deeply in programs where their boys could get as much exposure as possible to the sport of THE BOYS that do the grappling include John David who is age 12 and who will be interesting to watch this fall when he enters Central Davis Junior High School as a seventh grader. Next in line is old Jeremy whos been wrestling nearly as long as John David. Jesse Levi is eight years old , turning nine in August and Joshua at age 6 brings up the rear. Here's just a brief report on each. ar star-studd- JOHN DAVID in seven years of wrestling, has never placed lower than third or fourth in any meet hes entered. A few weeks ago in Antioch, Calif., he competed with other wrestlers in the Western Regional Finals of the USA Federation Wrestling Association. Just to get there John David had to be in 750 the top six from his state. At g out. JEREMY was a fourth place finisher at both region and state competition this year and later went on to win the regional nationn als in both and freestyle. At the AAU finals in Indiana he failed to place this year but has Greco-Roma- been a national champion in past years. Jesse Levi, despite wrestling in the bottom of the 9 and 10 year old has category as an placed either first or second in every tournament he's entered since January of this year. Last year in Indianapolis he was the national titlest in Greco and was third in freestyle. This year he took third in freestyle, second in Greco and first eight-year-ol- in lord Is Thar ft liberty II Cor 2 7 12, 1985 EVENING, JULY Iresh Iruits and vegetables beet and veal Poullry pork and processed Iruils and segrlabie prices also were up in June but prices (HI lor lish roasted collee soft drinks and eggs hoc finished goods other than food prices rose in June after May decreases lor leather and rubber loolwear household flatware and cutlery Also shuwmg significant m creases m cost wrre over the counter drugs books and silver yew dry the department said Prices dropped last month lor light motor trucks tires and lubes gold jewelry newspapers prescrip lion drugs alcoholic beverages and some leitilet The mdei lor capital equipment rose 04 prreeni in June alter re the preceding mainmg unchanged two months white the index lor intermediate goods such as supplies and materials was unchanged Aron part of Beirut which includes the international airport The news item was dropped from lurtnrr without explanation sources broadcasts Government who mulled on anonymity said this ol instructions was done because Irom above " Stale radio named the hijackers as Aii Alwi All Youms and Ahmed (ihanbeh but said it had no further inlormation about them or about an unspecilied number of "other" ac iMtwnswanal complices The radio said nothing about or whether their being in custody warrants lor them had been issued lor the June 14 hijacking An earlier account incorrectly listed one name as Ghartxeh "The names were referred as a prelude prosecuting them and to take adequate legal procedures the radio said, with agamsl them out citing sources Maurice Khawam. prosecutor general of Ml Lebanon county told east Beirut reporters in Christian with President alter a meeting Amm Gemayel on Wednesday (hat his office will move against the TW t hijackers Bush Vice President George could not confirm the radio renori criminals and we re not at ail pessi misitc about being able to get thal done " Alwi was arrested at Athens Air port before boarding the Rome bound TWA jetliner, but was later freed and down to join his two comrades m Algiers where the com mandeered plane twice landed The other two men had hijacked the Boeing 727 with 1S3 peopk aboard shortly after lakdc'l from the Greek capital In a Thursday news broadcast by Christian Broadcasting Network Les Coleman from correspondent Beirut Coleman listed a fourth man as a hijacker naming him as Has san liadeen and identifying him as a former bodyguard (or Nabih Bern Bern is the leader of the mam Shnte militia Amal.

They be- to the Sundance Wrestling of Salt Lake City which is coached by Jeff Winderland and long Club Bill THAT SIMPLY translated means either Mr. or Mrs. Hammonds must truck theirkids to Salt Lakes Granite High School at least three nights a week where the club meets. Through February and March, most of the meets are held but from late March to mid-Jul- y te the family is traveling across state lines. This year they've made it to Blaekfoot, Pocatello, and Boise, Ida. Theyve also been to Steamboat Springs and Rifle, Colo, as well as Rock Springs, and Evanston, Wyo. Theyve also visited Boulder City, Nev.; Pueblo, Colo.; Antioch, Calif, and even Indianapolis, sambo. JOSHUA just turned six in June Killpack. Ind. AT USA in meets the boys compete freestyle and at AAU meets theyll master both freestyle an greco. To make things even more interesting in 1985 is the fact that Mr. Hammonds work has literally had him living in Arizona for the past few months. That means that Mrs. Hammonds has had the sweet chore of getting the boys rustled up and ready to go at their various meets. DAVE HATES to miss the boys' competition so he will fly to their competition sites. Its hard for him but he hates to miss their meets, said Penelope. Mrs. Hammonds drove over 1600 miles when taking her boys to the recent nationals in Indiana. THE COMPETITION factor is important for the kids, but the selfesteem level that comes from the recognition they receive from their peers is even more valuable. We go clear across the country and each year the other kids know exactly who my kids are. Sometimes it's even thrilling for my boys to meet other boys who they haven't seen in a year, its just like family. that a boy ITS SO close-kncan ask someone elses parent for a soda and immediately the hand goes in the pocket for change. Believe me. it works just like that," it said Mrs. Hammonds. Penelope also said her boys had learned how to lose, as well as to win. "It may not always be with dignity, but they have learned to lose. It hurts to fight your heart out and lose, especially when it come' to a bad decision In iclcicc. "BUT wrestling as a whole has done wonders for them. Their friends at school know then arc tional chant; ions and na- wc'u noticed that their grades and have alwass improved. It's given them tin automatic acceptance." said the mother of the four. "I just cant express in words who much wrestling has done for my kids," continued Mrs. HamIf the monds. "Its don't win. they can't blame it on self-estee- one-on-on- e. anyone but themselves. They absolutely get rewarded for the amount of effort they put out. "THE KIDS can see what the work ethic can do. If they want something in life, they must put out. They've learned that work, growth and progrex in the bottom line. "This kind of aU de has overflowed into every other aspect of their lives, including their involvement in other sports and just their regular lives. American Legion By DAVE WIGHAM Journal Sports BOUNTIFU L Summer means baseball and if you happen to be a 17- - or that means American Legion. THE STATE is divided into two divisions with teams in these parts playing in the northern division. Ten teams comprise that division this year and with just over one week left in their regular season it looks like we can start predicting which of the five teams will enter the state event from the northern division. Viewmont, Woods Cross and Bountiful are all near the top of the league standings right now and all three of them look like they will make the annual trip to the state event which gets underway Aug. 10 in Salt Lake City. AS OF this writing the Viking summer boys are leading the league with a 10-- 2 mark followed by Bountiful at 2 and then Woods Cross along with Sky View at The other clubs fighting for the fifth spot at state are Brigham City, 9-- 8-- 4. Roy, Ben Lomond, Mountain Crest, Logan and Bonneville. The surprise of the league could very well be the Vikings who are in the heat of the battle for. the division title. After finishing the high school season in a flurry, winning four of their last five games, the Vikes have continued their hot pace in the past month. ONE ASPECT that has helped the Vikes is the fact that they picked up several players from Davis High. The Darts dont have a Legion team of their own and under the rules any player can play for the nearest school that does have a team. Viewmont is the closest to Davis with a team. Dave Bush is one of those Darts who have helped tremendously with his .400 batting average as has Greg Norton with his .364. HOWEVER the nucleus of this team are from Viewmont with the likes of Todd Hutchinson (.385), Chad Parks (.379) and Jason I3urn- - the way. Pitching wise the Vikes are strong with Terry Petersen, Parks and Dave Smith all throwing hard. Coaching the squad this summer are Bob Hutchinson and Jed Sponsors are Menlove Dodge and Murdock Chevrolet. ingham (.310) leading Neil-so- n. IT ISNT surprising that Bountiful is near the top and still in the hunt for the division title since the Braves have been one of the pre- miere teams in the state high school league the past several years. Art Miller, Larry Jacobs and Earl Larrabce are coaching the legion squad which features all of the stars from the Braves high school team. Pitching for the Braves again is Mike Neuteboom, Bubba Thompson, Chris Jacobs and Gary Bowman, who were the main fixtures in prep ball. Teahon. Brady Anderson and OFFENSIVELY Billy Miller. Bret Balderston, Tim Smith, Syd Smith, Dusty Jacobs and Mike Larrabee have been hitting well. Once again this summer the Lalli brothers. Mark and Matt, are handling the coaching chores at Woods Cross. A year ago these two guided the Cats into the state tournament and once again they have them on the winning track and headed for the state event. These three local sides seem to be sen close in regards to talent and playing since they have beaten each other. Viewmont has beaten Braves have a x in over Viewmont They each have a game with each other left on the regular season and those battles will more than likeh decide the northern division chain pion. CHET Stcns, Darren Twccde, Dave Larson and Bryce Moore handle the pitching for the Cats NO MATTER who wins the crown all three of them look to be on their way to the state while Kevin Cullimore, Mike Todd Campbell have been stroking the ball on offense.
