Show 4 WEEKLY REFLEX DAVIS NEWS JOURNAL, MARCH liu By DAVE WIGHAM How 00 Officials Are , ? The game could resemble an tntersquad battle, the teams are that close in their styles. Reason for the sameness is the fact that the two coaches are out of the same mold. In fact the two coaches are brothers, Rodger and Duke Reid. SO WHEN the Clearfield team takes on the Brighton club in the opening round of the state 4A tournament it will be a reunion on the sidelines. As luck would have it this is the second time the two Reids have met on the basketball floor, the Falcons and Bengals met last year in the final round of the tournament in a battle for fourth and seventh place. That time around the Bengals came out 4, . Selected For Tourney By DAVE WIGHAM Everyone knows how the sixteen teams in the tournament got there They had good years and deserve the invitation to a state basketball tournament DID YOU know though that the same goes for those men in tne striped shirts. The zebras. The two blind guys trying to find their seeing eye dogs. You know who mean, the two guys that never see the same game that youre watching from the stands. The man in charge of scheduling the officials for league games, Jim Hill informed me of the process that takes place in order to select the officials that work a 1 state tournament. on top. "We expect a great intense THEY TOO are there by invitations that were earned tor having good years. First of all a list of officials is sent to the High School Activities Association by the four official groups. Those being the Northern Utah, Salt Lake, Provo and Southern Utah Associations ballgame from Clearfield, noted Duke. "He, (Rodger) always has his team ready to play and both clubs get after you and give 110 percent while on the floor." THIS GIVES the Association a list of 80 to 85 prospective officials to work each tournament. This list is then mailed to all the coaches in the state with the names of those officials who are being considered to work the THESE WHEN two brothers bring their clubs together the word pride comes in to play. We dont really have any jealousy tournament. The coaches then vote for the top twenty in their opinion and send the list back to the Activities Association. They may also add to this list if they feel an official between us, you'd have to call it pride. We are both very competitive yet we are still very close. 1 always pull for his team, unless we're play; ing them, and vice versa," added Duke. the Brighton comes into of a high with couple game in seniors scoring players Steve Tapp. Brad Heaps and Heaps is cruising along18 in4 league play with a close average while Tapp is behind with a 17 8 average Brad is a 6T forward while Steve is a 5 10 guard. THE OTHER starters for the Bengals include Steve Weiss, a 65" senior center, Rob McCleary, a 5' 10 senior guard; and Dan Hill, a 61 senior forward. First off the bench for Coach Reid will be senior guard Tod Tovey and 65 Rob their big junior Urry. The Bengals i.ke to throw variable defenses at their opponents in an effort to take them out of their offensive patterns. They full court press a lot but mix it up with half court traps, zones and a very stiff man for man. That could almost be a description of the Clearfield bunch as s THE FALCONS come into the contest with a trio of top front courters in Brian Johnson, Scott Wallace and Rus- sell Florence, These three THIS LIST is sent back to the Association who then add up the votes again and the top sixteen work the first games of the tournaments with the other four as abet nates. Each tournament, the 4A on down through the 1A, has a tournament committee who select which of these sixteen officials work which game. This committee is made This up of the various chairmen in each region committee, along with their consultants Marios Tree and Jim Hill decide who works the games throughout the tournament including the final THOSE WHO have good tournaments advance and work the bigger games. Just like the teams And you thought the officials were just drawn in from off the street didnt you? Davis High Seeking To Avoid Unwanted Playoff By DAVE WIGHAM Davis High faithfuls have got to start wondering when the drought is over. Not the water drought that had everyone so concerned last summer but the drought around the basket with their roundballers. GOING into last weeks encounters, the Darts seemed to have everything together and headed for a high finish in Region Four. Then a drought seemed to set in as in both games, losses to Box Elder and Woods Cross, as the Darts had their problems putting the ball m the hole. As a result the Darts find themselves in a tie with the Wildcats of Woods Cross with records. That places them one game behind Ogden and two games in the rear of the league leaders Box Elder and Logan. 7--5 WITH THE top six places in the region headed for the 3A tournament its impossible for the Davis crew not to be in at least a playoff The playoff situation isn't exactly what Coach Mike Gardner had in mind for h.s troops, thats a playoff with the fifth place team from Region Five. That playoff winner then gets the dubious honors of playing the Provo dub in the first round of the tourney THAT means the Darts need at least one win out of the two to possibly avoid the playoff route. Friday the Darts head for Ben Lomond, a team that is only one game behind them Then on Tuesday the Darts host Bear River, a club that thinks the season is too long right now. A WIN over Ben Lomond would definitely pull the Davis five out of the possibility of the playoff, which in turn would mean the Scots would then be in the playoffs. Ben Lomond knows that fact also and they aren't too thrilled about playing those extra games and meeting the Provo club first night. sum By DAVE WIGHAM THE BIG people will play a major role in the outcome Darts sending youngsters John Emery, with the Mark Davenport and Troy Howard up against Mike Kunz and John Eckstein On Tuesday the family coaches, brothers Mark and Mike Gardner, will take place for the second time this year reunion of STEVEN WON over USSA skier Roger Bay, expert in the dual slalom race held between Ogden and Davis.

The situation in Salt Lake City isnt much clearer either as two of their clubs have finished in a tie for fifth All this means is that those two clubs which are tied, Jordan and Granger, will playoff and then the Vikings will play the loser to see which of those two will go WORD is that the Jordan and Granger contest will take place around Thursday on a neutral floor. Then on Saturday the Vikes would probably play their playoff game with the loser. If it were Saturday the game would be an afternoon game because the Viewmont school has a function that night. IF THE Vikes were to won the playoff, and they should, then they draw the Region Three champion the first round of the tournament As luck would have it the championship also ended up in a tie between Highland and Olympus At this writing it wasn't decided whether they would flip a coin or playoff for the title In any event the Vikes would play the winner VIEWMONT should have little trouble in winning the playoff with the sixth place of Region Two, but remember the Vikes like to do things the hard way and will probably find a way to make the game exciting and Jordan Granger finished with 210 region records. The Vikings won six a much tougher region.

Some of the Viewmont people had indicated that they would sooner go into the tournament as the number six team rather than number five. THE FIFTH place team draws Bingham the first night, and they are rated number one and have probably the best player in 4A in center Fred Roberts. The only drawback in going as number six is the playoff possibility and not even qualifying. The Vikings have a good club, a competitive team that plays hard all the time. The talent is there, on numerous nights they have played well and have battled the best teams in the region. It is generally considered that Region One is as tough as 4A league, from top to bottom, as any in the state. Region Two is considered the weakest of the three.

AS THE Brighton half of the coaching brothers sees the game it pits strength m one area against strength in another area. "Clearfield has a great front line with Johnson, Wallace and Florence, well have to keep them off the boards. But 1 feel we have the backcourt advantage, we have two great shooting guards who are as quick as anyone. Both clubs have a patient offense, one which keeps go- ing after the defense until they force a mistake. The Clearfield team can slow the game down or speed it up they like to control the tempo of the contest. Brighton is much the same. THIS GAME will depend on the success of defending the opponents strong points. Can the Falcons contain the high scoring guards of Brighton or can the Bengals fight off the challenge the Clearfield crew give them under the boards? The Clearfield guards, Reid and Parry, are quick and 110 age limit is placed on the clinic as long as they are younger than the tenth grade COACH Peterson will be running the clinic with the help of several of his top grappiers from this years school team that placed fourth at the state competition Those helping will be Rod Merrill, who was a region champion and placed fourth at state. Richard Grindstaff who placed second in the state competition. Ron Merrill, also a region champion Dean Layton, who was a region champion and runnerup in the state meet will all aid Coach Peterson in the clinic good on defensive, they give up a little in the height department but if it gets way out of hand then the tall, 63 Parsons can come in and play guard Brightons fronthners give up a little in the height department and that means problems. Clearfield's trio love to go to the boards hard on offense and capitalize on second and third shots. AS THIS reporter sires it the Falcons will have the edge because the Bengals depend on long range scoring from their guards Meanwhile the majority of points for Clearfield are scored in close to the bucket where the percentages are much higher.

For Davis that means trying to hold down the high scoring guard, Robbie Tillman, of the Scots. Coach Gardner can go one of two ways, either let Tillman have his points figuring one man cant beat him or keep fresh troops on him in an effort to stop him cold. Davis has shown that they have a deep club by the number of players that have been shuffled in and out, looking for either Ryan Hill or Mike Mounteer to draw the assignment of stopping Tillman i Pia i vote-gette- in- side combination.
