Show -- WEEKLY NEWS JOURNAL, JUNE 2. 1977 REFLEX-DAV- 1S Readies CDeaurffieDdl By DAVE WIGHAM (Med Award 9-- Viewmonts athletic fortunes were a little strange James has been a high honor student at Layton High all three years. He is president of the senior class and president of the schools Lettermens Club. He was a standout defensive back in football, a sprinter on the schools track team and participated in the schools weightlifting program. HE WAS presented a watch by Dr. Robert Bitner for being selected for this award. The award is established to stimulate a student to his best possible performance in every field of endeavor while maintaining the highest standards, ideals and traditions of Layton High School. this past year to say the least. One week the Vikes would be awesome in some sports and they were weeks other pushovers in the same sports. Layton High School athlete, Janies Eccleston has been presented the coveted Ken Call Award as the schools outstanding ; scholar-athlet- THE AWARD is presented annually to a male senior who has contributed the most to 'Layton High School during three consecutive years. I The selection is based on leadership in school affairs, : community activity and ci-- ; tizenship, scholastics, and : athletic effort and ability. A SON of Mr. and Mrs. ; J. William Eccleston, Layton, the Vikes their third consecutive region crown with Jerry Yazzie leading the way. Jerry WRESTLING, FOOTBALL for example, the Vikes were considered to be a weak team in the region but yet the Vikings gave state champions Skyline the best game of the year. In fact the Vikes should have won that game. Then the next week they get blown out by another team not the caliber of the Eagles. Senior Tim Eden won just about every' award possible in the football area as the big redhead was a giant on the gridiron. He was helped by seniors Taiki Skedros, Bill Kent, Kirk Green, Jim Tin-geRoger Berry and Kirt Neilsen. Juniors Kevin Hess, Steve Neilsen and Tim Egan all gained needed experience for next year. y, THE AWARD carries the tradition of Kenneth Call, a former resident of Layton but who attended Davis High School where he wa. an outstanding athlete, student and leader who brought honor to his community. Ken died before the Lancers (Layton High) came into being, but his eflorts and those of many like him, form a base upon which the great traditions of Layton High School will be built. KEN DIED in a drowning accident and the award, symbolic of Kens efforts and achievements, is being carried on through the award program, grb mark in Vikings posted a league action. The main question concerning the Vikes each week was always who would be starting as Coach Cleverly had the opportunity to use a number of players each week. BASKETBALL gave the Vikes another region title to their long list. With the likes of Dave Pearce, Kevin Walker, Mark Lalli, Tim Eden, Court Wilkins, Lowell Oswald and others, the won went on to place second in the state meet. Other Vikes who were consistent winners were Shane Sweatfield, Dave Shuldberg, Wayne Calobeer and John Beddingfield. Sweatfield and Shuldberg will be back next year to form another possible region championship team. Baseball had its injuries and accidents, both on the field and in the bus. An early injury to pitcher Brian Duff put a tremendous stress on the rest of the Vike hurlers. Then when they needed a crucial win at Ben Lomond the Vikings were involved in an automobile accident that mentally took the Vikes out of the game. Looking back over the past ; : school year for the Clearfield athletic teams one can see this was a good year for the Falcons. Coaches at the : school indicated that this was I one of the best senior classes to pass through the halls of J I Clearfield. FIRST UP for the Falcons ; was the football season and : led by the hard running of : Robbie Richeson, the Clear-- ; field bunch won the region c crown and went on into the : state playoffs. : Richeson, who has signed : with Utah, wasnt the only I hero on the club but he was the mam cog. This hard senior has improved so : much over the three years at Clearfield its hard to imagine him as a sophomore. ; run-nin- g T - j. y ? ; j ' : ; ; : i : : ; ; I ; QUARTERBACKING the Falcons all year was junior Bryan Johnson, another in the long line of familiar names to put on the gold and green. Add to these two names players such as Joey Ohlson, Bob Berrera, Joe Garcia and many others and its under-- : standable why the Falcons were so successful. Basketball wasnt supposed to be much this year at Clearfield, but dont ever count them out of any game. Coach Reid performed his usual wizardry to put the Falcons in the state tour-- ; nament and a higher finish than any other region club. SCOTT Balaich and Brent Pose were the leaders, both were selected as by the coaches for their ef- forts. It was a well disciplined club, which was best displayed when the club met Provo in the state quarter- finals. This club showed the poise and discipline often credited to college players. The Falcons went into the state meet as the third place squad from the region but n 7 their ; paid off with state finish. : THE GALS at Clearfield werent to be outdone by the boys in basketball as Jackie Beene led the girls to the state title. Ms. Beene turned out to be quite an athlete herself as she participated in almost all sports and excelled in all of them. : ; I I ; I ; never-say-di- attitude e a sixth place n : I jJ J i $ J j J I ; j Wrestling was on the up- with at Clearfield swing sophomore Martinez leading the way. Next year the Fal-- ; cons return many of their varsity wrestlers. SPRINGTIME was also good to the Falcons as the boys teams won the region track title and placed second in the baseball race, teams comprised of the same athletes with Richeson and Rod Neville doubling and excelling in Both both. Richeson won the 100 and 220 in the region and was on the state winning relay team. He also was a solid hit-- ; ting outfielder for the Fal-- j cons. Power Lifting By DAVE WIGHAM Recently at Granger High School, the second annual power lifting tournament for high school age athletes was held with several local athletes winning gold medals and others finishing in the top six. POWER lifting, a form of was a long SOCCER the Vikes took second in the region and third in the state following a tournament that was set up weird. But the Vikes have Kevin Peck, Dave Fames, Kent and Gines and many others back next year. Although they will miss Alan Fames, Brian Gines, Kris Romijn and Bill lohnson. Meanwhile the gals were winning their share of the games. In gymnastics the Vikes were tough and in basketball the Vike gals were second in league play. TRACK AND field provided Viewmont is looking for bigger and better things from their athletes next year. A Good Job: 40c An Hour ALL YOU have to do is supervise some high school kids, teach them some fundamentals of a sport, give them some plays, coach them during a game, decide who plays and who doesnt, be a public relations man with the adults, all this for 40 cents an hour. With the pay the high school coaches get for their respective sports, compared to the amount of hours they put in, their pay comes out to be in the neighborhood of 40 cents an hour. THE SAD part about their job is the thankless attitude of the adult community. These men always get the blame but very seldom get the credit. A football coach for example, first off during the day he has to teach school. He doesnt get extra time to prepare for his season and practices. SO THEIR work doesnt start till after school, then he spends three hours on the field with the team. After that he gets to go home and relax with his family, right? Wrong! The good coaches, and this region is loaded with them, spends countless hours in front of the projector either watching other teams or his own to determine the best attack and defense. THEN HE gets to see every other team play each week them even more. The more they see each other the harder it becomes to coach a winner. They have to determine where each kid will play best. This is a job in itself. Every father has an idea where his kid should play, then the coach has to try to tell the player and sometimes the father, as well, that the kid could help the team in a different spot. coach has to be a great public relations man, one who gets along with the community, the players, the parents, his assistants and his administrators. All this for 40 cents an hour. Theyre either dedicated or stupid. I think theyre the first, lets give them some thanks and credit that they A GOOD deserve. new in this area but coaches Registers per- formed the bench and squat, the top six athletes were then chosen and only those per formed the dead lift. Weight was added to each lift and anytime the athlete missed two in a row he was out of the competition. The dead lift was held a little differently, weight was added and the athletes could lift anytime they wanted to. BOUNTIFUL High finished second in the 4A meet, with host Granger winning the title. Bill Speaks won the 135 pound class setting a state record in the bench press. Ron Hammer, a football cocaptain and wrestler for the Braves, placed second in the class. Bill Wernli, a football player, placed third in the class. Other Bountiful athletes to place were John Haze, fourth in the class; Kent Palmer, sixth in the 155 class; and Steve Rudd and Dean Layton placed fifth and sixth respectively in the heavyweight class. COACH Paul Waite of Bountiful was pleased since most of his lifters were un-- . derclassmen. Layton High was present with some of their heavy lifters.

This includes feedlot operators as well as dairymen. Each production entity such as a - family, partnership, or corporation - is entitled to one or FFA member vote. A may register, provided he or she produced beef independent of the family operation. -- If over half of registered producers vote in the referendum and of those voting approve the order, the Secretary of Agriculture will appoint a beef board, composed of not more than 68 beef producers, from names submitted by producer organizatwo-thir- tions. The board would collect assessments on sales of cattle and use the funds for beef research and information programs. PRODUCERS can vote in person at the county office or by mail between July 5 and said Mr. Thurgood. 15, Those who want to vote by mail will have to get their request to the county office early enough to receive a ballot and return it to the County ASCS office by July fullback Curtis Page was By DAVE WIGHAM were healthy all year the If one word could sum up the past athletic year for the Bountiful High Braves that one word would have to be frustration. IN FOOTBALL the Braves missed the state playoffs by a field goal, in basketball they lost more close games than most teams lose in ten years, and in baseball the Braves were hurt by the weather. Football started out op- timistic as the Braves looked good in beating Roy in the opener, but then the Bountiful squad ran into problems. DURING THE course of the year the Braves were without the services of backs Billy Speaks and Mark Dickerson. Many feel that if these two reason or another. SAM BEESON, a football and track member at Layton, won the title at the 185 class. John Fccleson placed fourth in the 175, Carl Leota placed class. fourth in the Sammy Galegos finished fourth in the 165 class and Cookie Carter placed sixth in the 145 division. Viewmont walked away with two individual winners as Kurt Casper won at 145 and Shane Sweatfield, a wrestler, won the 115 class. WITH THE new found sport of power lifting many of the athletes pump the iron after school and during the summer. Coaches feel this sport can only help their football programs. Braves would have been in the state tournament. In the game that counted, the Braves lost to Layton which meant the Lancers went to the tournament and the Braves didnt. 17-1- Besides the two backs, other outstanding Braves in football uniforms were Gregg Bangeter, Sheldon Bagley, Dave Faddis, Cliff MacMillan and a host of juniors. With players like Scot Kinear, Larry Hale, Chris Davies and Brian Slagowski returning, the Braves are very optimistic about next season. TO INDICATE the frustrations of the basketball season consider that the Braves lost both games to Viewmont, who won the region, in double overtime both games. Coach Robison aged about ten years during the season, time after time the Braves lost the close games after leading the entire game. THE MAIN cog in the team was the play of guard Dale Ohlson, opposing coaches tabbed Dale as the best shooter the region has seen in many years. Dale will be taking his talents to the College of Fastern Utah. Bountiful Near the end of the season the Braves were using a lot of their juniors. Chris Davies, Irvy Williams, Scott Pendleton and Brian Slagowski will all be back next year. WRESTLING produced some top performers as Paul Taylor, Dean Layton, Paul Lawrence, and Ron Hammer, all juniors, led the Braves to state. Taylor and Hammer placed in the final six. Baseball was inside more than they were on the field during the season with the weather killing the Braves pitchers. Marty Malmrose and Kurt Sparenburg were the big guns for the Braves. Marty will also go toC.E.U. to play both baseball and basketball. TRACK meant the long distance runners to the Braves as Terry Flton, Dave Krivanec and Steve Jenkins all performed well. Soccer won the region crown and went into the state playoffs with Joe Palmer, Doug Angus, Gregg Bangeter and in- went with him. qualify for the state meet, they were at a definite handicap without Page. Players like Page, John Fields, Sam Beeson and Tadd Billmire will be missing next year but with the likes of Maurice Turner and Chuck Ehin, Ben Bubak and others, the Lancers will be in the race for the region crown again this coming year. THE LANCERS did manage .a second place finish in football and a trip to the state tournament but a loss to Provo sent narrow the Lancers home. With a player like Johnny Gilbert in the middle, and players like Cal Roberts and Tadd Billmire at the side, the Layton basketball team was a tough opponent for everyone 7--0 George Calver To Speak George F.

AFTER A slow start Gilbert picked up his scoring pace and dominated the region play. Billmire was lost with a knee injury but sophomore Brandon Flint came on near the end of the season. the state tournament Gilbert turned a lot of heads with his play against the Skyline team, for his efforts Johnny was a unanimous e selection. JOHN LOVE and Wayne Kittrell carried the Lancer hopes in the world of wrestling with both placing high in both region and state competition. Love is gone next year but Kittrell, the region champion, will be back to defend his title. Springtime in Layton meant hard work on the track and baseball fields. Sophomore Chuck Ehin came on at the end of the season to place in region and state. Most consistent performers for the Lancers however were sprinter Tony Riney and discus thrower Sam Beeson.
