Show t DAVIS NEWS JOURNAL, FEBRUARY 16, 1978 WEEKLY REFLEX Tuesday Games Ga!s f'esti More Sports Programs By DAVE W1GHAM In talking to some of the girls coaches in the area one problem seems to keep popping up. That problem is the absence of a junior or sophomore program. THE BOY athletic teams compete on three levels, sophomore, junior varsity and varsity. The gals compete on one level, varsity. This means that the boys are getting coaching all the time from the time they're sophomores up till they are the big guys on the varsity program. They get to have some competition with the other schools too. THE GALS are all on one team. They compete in one game, unless special arrangements are made. In the boys basketball program there could be upwards of 40 players, all three included, while the gals have around 15.' to do it. DEPENDING on what happens on Friday night the best game should be the Region One contest with Roy invad- ing Clearfield. Region Four has a couple of good games with Ogden playing at Woods Cross and Box Elder in the Davis High gym. In the other Region One games Sky View visits the Viewmont gym and Bountiful takes their act to Layton. ROY AND Clearfield, assuming both win Friday-- , fighting for the top honors in the league. Roy is riding high after beating leader Weber while the Falcons are still thinking about their triple overtime win over couSd be Lynn Dubois, the coach of the Viewmont girls, talks about the problem. "With our seniors playing as well as they are the juniors and sophomores just aren't getting the playing time. 1 come twice a week in the early mornings to work with the younger gals just so they get the practice. He went on to say that unless both coaches make arrangements beforehand that there is only a varsity game. He tries to schedule these other games as much as possible. ONE OF the problems with the program is the gym schedule. With three boys teams and one girls the gym space is and time Is like gold at most schools. Maybe each school could schedule one regular class session for girls athletics, and another for sophomore boys. has the answer to the gym space which would allow the girls to develop all three years. But the next time someone suggests that the boys are more skilled as seniors just remind that person that they get to compete from the sophomore level on up, while the girls only have a varsity program. No one Davis High In Ho. In Spot Region Play Davis High finds themselves in soie possession of first place in Region Four. They also can feel a lot of breathing down their necks. The Darts own a slim, very slim, one game lead over three other clubs and only a two game lead over two other clubs. THIS FRIDAY the Darts don't get any breather as they have to travel up to the pit and battle the Ogden crew in Ogden in what will probably be an afternoon encounter. mark while Davis has a the Tigers have a mark. A Tiger win would make things thick and heavy, but a Dart victory would all but nail the coffin on Ogden for any hopes of a league crown. 7--2 5-- EACH OF these two clubs have had troubles with certain games. It seems like the Tigers can never win the close games, they have lost games under four points to Davis and Woods Cross to name a couple, while the Davis crew seems to play just good enough to win. One game the Darts look great in beating one of the best clubs in the league, then the following sports and they are making the best of it. They s in the got to the state football playoffs and they appear to be heading to the state playoffs in basketball. Davis on the other hand are annual entrants in both football and basketball in the 3A Tanks. This game shapes up to be the individual efforts and stars from Ogden against the team approach for the Dart club. Biggest name in this game is Jackie Watkins of the Ogden crew. This jumping-jack- , he can get up and change the lights in the gym without a ladder, is averaging 21 points a game. Watkins can do everything, hell give the Darts fits with his shooting and rebounding. He can score from anywhere within fifteen feet, plus he gets a lot of second and third shots with his jumping ability. 3A By DAVE W1GHAM game they barely get by someone like South who havent won a game. Maybe the Darts play just good enough to win, they play the same type of game as their opponents. Coaches will take that, just so long as they come out on the long end of the score. OGDEN WAS picked in to be one of the top clubs in the league. This is the first year for the Tigers in n semi-final- THE DART people up front, especially Troy Howard, will have to keep Watkins away from the basket. The Darts on lhe other hand look for about three or four people to get their points. Bountiful. Up front is where this game will be won with Clearfield sending Brian Johnson, Scott Wallace and Russell Florence up against the likes of Jeff Sholtec, Mark Sindle and Kurt Bennington of Roy. Roy won the first meeting but the Falcons are tough at home. BOUNTIFUL and Layton for state playoff berths, the Braves need the win to stay alive in the race. The Braves won the first meeting of the two when they pulled away in the final period. Layton needs to stop Irvy Williams and Scott Pendleton while the Braves need to shut off Carl Woodward, Brandon Flint and Rory Dixon of the Lancers. Bountiful has always played tough in Layton and this should be a barnburner. are fighting VIEWMONT is still very much alive for a state berth and a win over Sky View is well within their reach. They lost by five up north but have improved since then. The win last week over Layton was a great confidence builder for the Vikes. This matches up to be a battle between the big people of Viewmont, Hanks, Hess, Yates and Curtis and the guards of Sky View, Olsen and Neilsen. OGDEN COMES into the Woods Cross game with fire in their eyes. They lost a to the Wildcats earlier in the season and they are out for blood. This is a matchup of the Wildcats Mark McGee ry one-point- and Jeff Ostler against Tigers Jackie Watkins and guard Mike Birch. will need a win Box Elder to keep first place in the region. The Bees have all the height over Davis against the smaller Darts but they lack the quickness. Darts Troy Howard, Ryan Hill and Mike Mounteer will battle Bees Dale Mooney and Kline Adams. Mike Mounteer are all averaging in the double figure area for Coach Gardner. These three with help from Brad Petersen and Tod Taylor will need a good scoring night to beat Ogden. OGDEN WILL get the home floor advantage, at their place it's always rough to get out with a win. Davis needs the win to hold down first place in the region. Should be another and close encounter, remember the Tigers have a habit of not winning those.
