Show WEEKLY REFLEX-DAV- NEWS JOURNAL. FEBRUARY 10. 1977 IS J Falcons get By Wings 41 to 39 by DAVE WIGHAM What appeared to be an y game for the Vikings, turned into one of the closest games in Region Two early walk-awa- this year as the Falcons of Clearfield came back from a terrible start to finally catch and overtake the Vikes for a victory. THE TERRIBLE start that the Clearfield bunch got off to was a result of an aggressive Viewmont zone defense. Time 9 and time again the Falcons couldnt penetrate that zone and forced shots they don't like to take. As a result, the Falcons only had one field goal in the first quarter, and that one came at the buzzer. Meanwhile the Vikes were having their problems putting the ball in the hole as they could only manage to score ten points in that first quarter. MOST productive for the Vikes was their center Dave Pearce who enjoyed a distinct height advantage over the much smaller Falcons. It was Pearce who the Vikes went to early and the big man responded with several quick buckets. As luck would have, just when Pearce and the Vikes had things going their way, the big pivot man turned his ankle and had to go to the dressing room for attention. That was the break the Fal- cons needed to turn things around. AS SOON as Pearce went out, the Falcons went to their inside attack of Royce Eves and Scot Balaich. These two forwards went to work using their various moves to get the Vikes out of position and put in the shot. Clearfield again showed the poise and patience that they are known for, as down the stretch they forced the Vikes into playing catch up ball. MEANWHILE the Vikes were going to do everything to man Kevin Walker who put in a short burst of offensive power by sinking three buckets with driving twisting layups. The game itself was physical; to show just how physical, the referee Dick Ball had his nose broken by a player when he stepped in to stop any resemblance of a fight, as tempers were short. THE FINAL minute was hectic, the Falcons had a one point lead and missed a shot and the Vikes had the ball. FIRST place is not the only place that is turning into a scramble, as three teams are fighting for the fourth spot, which also means a trip to the state tournament in March. First place was turned into a three-wa- y race when Clearfield squeeked by Viewmont last week to give the Vikes, Falcons and Lancers from Layton identical 1 marks. 4-- IRONICALLY these three d did a when they played each other, Viewmerry-go-roun- mont beat Layton, Layton beat Clearfield and Clearfield beat Viewmont. By the same token the three teams, who are actually tied for second, also did a number on each other. Bountiful beat Ogden, Ogden beat Ben Lomond and the Ben Lomond team beat Bountiful. SO WITH the first go round complete, the teams have divided themselves into two groups with Viewmont, Lay-to- n and Clearfield on top and the other three fighting for the other state spot. That's not to say that the title will be between these three teams when they play. Sure when they meet it will go a long way in determining the champion, but the other three then the Clearfield Falcons have the inside track to win the title and go to the State tournament as the number one team from this area. GOING INTO the second round of action, the Falcons have three of their five remaining games on their home floor. But just as they did last week, they beat Viewmont on the Vikes court, the home court doesnt seem to be the deciding factor it once was. Coming up the Falcons have at home both Bountiful and Viewmcnt, but tonight they have their first home game in three weeks, when they host the pesky Ogden crew. plays and somehow Brent Rose found himself all alone under the basket for an easy layup with two seconds left. called time and set up a last second IN FACT if the Falcons become too complacent after shot and a jump ball was called when he missed the second one. Clearfield controlled the ball and called time out with 11 seconds left in the game. They ran one of their special VIEWMONT desperation attempt that fell short when the Vikings couldnt control the pass. Going into the game both coaches felt the other team was the one to beat in the region, as they showed nothing but respect for each other. IT WAS a pleasant sideline to the game to watch both coaches as they plotted different strategies to overcome each other; they looked like two chess masters going at one another. The loss was the first in region action for the Vikes and judging from their players response they dont like the feeling. In the other locker room the Clearfield team seemed to like the feeling of winning. MAYBE NEXT time they meet, things will end up different. teams will have a definite say in the title outcome. Round one of the Region Two warfare is over and as round two begins this Friday the only thing settled is that its going to be a dog fight down the wire. TO PROVE the worth of the three lower teams consider that all the upper squads had problems winning against them. Bountiful for example, took Viewmont into double overtime, Ogden fought Lay-to- n to the wire before losing by five. So every game in round two is a big one for all teams involved. If the upper three teams want the league title, then they cant afford to drop anymore contests. At the same time the three tied for second cant afford anymore loses if they intend to be at the Special Events Center in March. THIS WEEKS action is a typical example of the leagues balance. Layton has to travel to Bountiful to battle winning at Viewmont, the Ogden five just might sneak in and upset them. Coach Reid isnt the type of coach that will let his team play on memories though; they have to forget that they won last week and concentrate on the Tigers or they may be sorry. mm dean all kinds ot remove cat odors and dog we Davis County's Largest Carpet PHOBE I Furniture Cleaners 773-K- C3 or FREE ESTIMATES 95 15lnrt Uvto Room wNh dv. THE MAIN statistic that stands out, is the fact that the Falcons have been outscored from the field in several of their games, but their foul shooting is near perfection. Reason for this stat is due to the type of offense the Falcons like to run, its a ball control type of game, one which frustrates other teams to the point of fouling and the Clearfield group dont miss too many from the charity when they got down to the Bountiful team early, it seemed to many people that the Tigers just gave up. This isnt likely to happen, as realistically the Ogden team still has a very good chance of going to the state meet in March. clubs five weeks ago, the Lancers came from behind to beat the Braves by five points. SINCE that time however a lot of water has gone under the bridge. The Lancers went on to win three more region battles, while only dropping one. Bountiful, on the other hand, has dropped three more battles and have only won one region game. BOUNTIFUL is coming off its first victory of the first region go round, but beating Ogden is one thing, beating Layton is an entirely different matter. In their first encounter, the Braves seemed to take the Layton team by surprise when they doubled, tripled and even at times had four players on the Lancers big man John Gilbert. This time the Braves wont be able to use the surprise element in their game plan. BOUNTIFUL has also made a few personnel changes since that first defeat. Last week against Ogden, the Braves starting-fou- r juniors and just one senior. Chris Davies and Scott Pendleton have both worked their way into starting berths for the Braves, and neither of them saw much action in the first battle with Layton. LAYTON, meanwhile has been making improvements and changes themselves. At the beginning of the season, the word was that the Lancers couldnt score from the guardline; that theory was laid to rest last week when the two guards from the Layton team combined for over 20 points. Layton will again be counting on the scoring punch of their big man Gilbert, Cal Roberts and Tadd Billmire, but the guards will also need to score again for their inside game to open up. BOUNTIFUL has been in need of points from their front line, with a player like Dale Ohlson on the guardline, points will automatically come from that position. Last week junior center Irvy Williams exploded for 24 points up in Ogden. Forward Brian Slagowski has come on of late to prove he can score when he wants to. The other starting forward is Scott Pendleton.

Students will try their wit at guessing which teacher the picture represents. An added major attraction during GGA Week will be the main hall at Layton High. It will be decorated with games this year for the Bountiful school, you know that Scott can put points on the board in a hurry. DAVIES, since starting two games ago, has been playing the best ball he has all year. In the Ogden tilt he had 11 assists, several steals and scored well. That puts seniors Marty Malmrose and Larry Barnedt in the role of coming off the bench, and last week both responded well. Marty came in to score 10 points and run the offense effectively and Larry came in to rebound well. LAYTON is still somewhat unsettled as to their starters but usually Coach Doug Moon uses about seven players dur- ing the course of a game. Gilbert and Roberts are about the only Lancers to start in all their games. Billmire and Dixon have been at the other starting forward spot, while the guard situation is between Bart Weaver, Cal Woodward, Rick Snow and Ben Bubak. All could see action against the Braves.

By DAVE WIGtf AM THIS REGION is balanced from top to bottom with no teams considered push overs, the first round was a coachs nightmare and a fans delight. Second round action starts this week and it looks like world war III is about to begin, dw CARPET are SCORINGWISE the Falcons look to the inside work of Scot Balaich. It took Scot a couple of quarters to get going last week against Viewmont, but once he did it was tough for ISoiiflinitnffimD the same club that had the Lancers down by 15 only to lose in the final period. Viewmont hosts Ben Lomond, the Vikes only beat the Scots by one point in their first meeting. Clearfield, hot after their victory last week, entertains the Tigers of Ogden in a game the Tigers must have to stay alive. DUTCH DOY they small, the Tigers have some people that like to get up in the air and rebound. Mike Dockery and John Busch probablyjjave the best vertical jump of anyone in the region. If you dont box these two off the boards, then theyre going to get some cripples that hurt. Clearfield really isnt that big, biggest man on the floor is about 63, so they have to use their minds rather than their jumping to box out and rebound. They realize that they're not the tallest team around, so they practice boxing out and keeping the opponents off the glass. To Meet f We ALTHOUGH HAS OGDEN been the hardest team to figure out in the region this year, with the exception of maybe Bountiful. The Tigers have played everyone a tough ballgame. Clearfield did manage to beat the Tigers the first go round, but they were pressed to do so, then the Tigers only lost by five on the Viewmont floor, then Layton beat them by only three, so the Tigers are by no means considered a pushover.
