Show WEEKLY REFLEX-DAV- IS NEWS JOURNAL. APRIL 7. 197 ExpOoireir The southern district is Explorer Olympics scheduled to begin on April 9, 1977. This year's Olympics promises to be an exciting event covering all Explorer Posts from Roy to Kaysville. Give Coaches The Time They Need THE OLYMPICS will have a Jr. and Sr. division. The junior division is for all 14 and 15 year old boys and the senior division is for all 16, 17 and 18 year old explorers. All explorers must be registered with the Boy Scouts of America in order to participate. By DAVfc WIGHAM Coaches are hired and fired on their won-los- s record yet in a way this is only a part time job next to teaching. IF THE ADMINISTRATIONS of schools want their coaches to produce winning teams and programs, then it should be only logical to give them the time they reed to prepare. How many other jobs do you know where the worker is judged solely on a secondary function. Even if a coach is a great teacher, it he doesnt win on the field or court he's out of a coaching job. FIRST, second and third place Olympic medals and COLLEGES HAVE the right idea, their coaches get to spend all their time and efforts on their programs. If at all the coaches in colleges teach once class a day, and that one is in their sport, maybe a basketball class. Yet in the high school area, where winning is probably stressed more than college at times, a coach has to spend about seven to eight hours teaching health or math, then go to the gym and coach. JET RIDE By GARY R. BLODGETT Aircraft mechanics in the 388th Tactical Fighter Wing at Hill AFB are giving their F-- 4 Phantom Jets a little extra loving care these days. AFTER all, they may end up flying in the back seat of COL'LD THIS have any bearing on the style of play they play? The sad part about it is that not all the coaches are treated the same. In Region Two for example, some coaches have a full load of teaching during the day while others are through in the morning. one of them. Its all part of a new program instigated by the 388th TFW to honor maintenance work done by the enlisted men who serve as the planes mechanics. top-notc- h THE SCHOOLS and the district should take a long look at their athletic policy in regards to coaching. If they want the best coaches, then they should be given some time to prepare. At night, by the time they get home from practice, they have to prepare for their classroom assignments, during the day they have to teach. If a coach is going to be hired and fired in relationship to the success of his program, give him some school time to prepare, dw EACH MONTH an enlisted VI ISA Depth in the sprints and field events are the main assets of the Layton track team this year. The Lancers have two or three top performers in almost all the sprints and field events to pile up points in a hurry. Successffiuil When the Bountiful City Recreation department decided to join the YMCA in running the Youth Basketball Association, YBA, very few people realized then how successful this program would be in the area. TOTAL of 246 kids participated in the league this year. The Bountiful program was the largest in the State, and with Salt Lake City joinA ing them the area was the largest program in the nation. YBA is a basketball program that stresses participation rather than the winning aspect of the sport. It is run in conjunction with the National Basketball Players start of a program several basketball greats talk and instruct the Association. At the players on the fundamentals of the game. . MERV Jackson and Bob in-; Rule were the two players r volved with the Bountiful program. No league standings were ; kept, in fact one game ended : in a tie and both teams went home winners, as a result of not concentrating on win- ning. The emphasis was ; placed on fair play, sports-- ; manship and having fun. ' EACH player on a squad had to play at least one half and no player could play the : entire game. The parents were also in this program as they donated their time to be officials, scorers and timers .for the games. Many other :: parents and adults in the community were the coaches - for the teams. AT THE conclusion of the - ; season, the city recreation ; department ran a survey to get the response of the effect : on the program. 80 per cent of - the kids involved in the program said they would be back for sure next year, another 20 per cent indicated they werent sure, but would probably play again next season. No one said they wouldnt return. Parents of those players in the program expressed their pleasure at the way the program was run and the idea behind it. Many expressed that their child got more out of this program than any other sports program. ALL ENTRANTS paid an entrance fee of $15. For that they received a uniform, a certificate of participation, a card and a manual describing the basic fundamentals of basketball, fair play and sportsmanship, dw Kenna R. Myers Receives New Assignment Airman Kenna R. Myers, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest J. Klaus of 184 Darlington Way, Layton, has received a new assignment following IF THE Lancers have any weakness at all it would appear to be in the distance races. Up to the 880 yard dash the Layton squad is loaded with top people, but from there on they thin out just a little. While many schools are having difficulty in fielding a large team the Lancers probably have one of the largest in the region. Coach Curt Belcher has good depth in all the events to go along with his top point getters.

Its a great incen- tive for the guy who works on the aircraft. Besides the discus this mammoth sophomore is also making his presence known in the shot put. Other putters for the Lancer squad are Leota, John Fields and Ron Cooper. A couple of sprinters also handle the long jumping for Layton. Maurice Turner and Tony Riney while the high jumping ace of the squad is Bruce Cowan. POLE vaulting for the Lancers is Tim Butler and Bruce Allred. The Layton coaches have more than these competitors named but these are the field men that Coach Belcher and Coach Hansen feel will be their early point getters. This squad is loaded in the sprints. They have three or four runners in the 100 yard dash group that have been clocked under 10.5 seconds, which is fast for high schoolers. Lancer senior has approached the Layton school record in the discus. Along with Beeson the Lancers have Cant Leota and sophomore Chuck Ehin throwing the disc. Beeson also leads a parade of throwers in the javelin for Coach Belcher. Bruce Cowan and Ron Atkinson are the other point getters in this event. LANCER sophomore Chuck Ehin is fast becoming one of the best athletes around. IN THE dashes the Lancers have Tony Riney, Pete Dennis, Maurice Turner and Bret Ferguson. These four handle both the 100 and 220 yard dashes along with some relay duty. Hurdlers for the Lancers are Dennis, David Waller, Dave Emmerson and Art Leota. In the 440 yard dash is Charles Waller, Lynn Alvey, Clint Douglas and Don Douglas. The 880 men are Wille Ferneau and Dave Coryell.

IT TAKES TIME and energy to prepare for a season or a game, yet these coaches dont have any time during the day in which they can prepare. All the time you hear how much better the style of play is in California. In talking to some players from that area they indicate that their coaches only coach, theyre not involved in the teaching aspect that much if at all.

Davis High Gymnastics Developing By KARI PALMER Davis Highs gymnastics program has been developing real steam since it began four years ago. TO QUALIFY for the team, the girls are required to attend all the practices which are held every day after school for one and a half hours. Practices start in November and last until school ends. The team is divided into the intermediate and beginning classes depending on how advanced the individual is. Some outstanding performances this year have come from Margo Southworth and Cindy DeVore who are in the intermediate class. MARGO REALLY enjoys the team, stating, Its a lot of hard work and a lot of time, but it's also a lot of fun and its worth it in the end. In the beginning class, Sarah Adams, Jan Larsen and Terri Taylor are outstanding gymnasts. Sarah and Terri both like the floor the best. "Its really fun, its a good experience too, said Terri. JAN, WHO does best in vault and bars says, I like it a lot. Its fun to be in too." At a gymnastics meet there are four events in which to compete. THE BEAM which Kathy Beckstrom performs on with proficiency; the bars which Cheryl Bailie and JoAnn Robins excel in; the vault and the floor which Laurie Over and Kathy Benton do an excellent job on. In each event there is a required routine which every girl must perform. After they have done the required routine they can do an optional routine which they make up themselves. They can compete in one event or all around (in all the events). THIS YEARS gymnastics team has done a pretty good THIS YEARS gymnastics team has done a pretty good job, said Miss Hardy, the coach of the gymnastics team. This will be the first year that the team has gone to state. |
