Show WEEKLY REFLEX DAVIS NEWS JOURNAL, JANUARY 25, 1979 Schools Gould Play In Different Sports League So Called Good Teams And Has -- Beens Teams By DAVE W IGHAM Want to make a fortune at predicting the outcome of the high school basketball games. Here seems to be the big secret, look at the previous week. EXPERTS TELL us that when a theory comes along the only way to see if it works is to apply it. So here are some facts. Two weeks ago the Layton team beat Viewmont on the Viking floor by about twenty points. Then the Vikings beat Bountiful by the same margin. That set up the game with Bountiful and Layton last week. A mismatch with the Lancers heavily favored, yet the Braves won. HERE GOES the theory. The week before these two met, Layton had knocked off unbeaten Clearfield. Meanwhile Bountiful was being embarrassed by View- mont. Coach Hall of Bountiful looks at it this way. They were ready to be beaten. They were sitting high after beating Clearfield while we were mad about the Viewmont game. ALL THIS looks good but The week before everyone anymore evidence. Yep. had predicted a close game with Bountiful and Viewmont, yet it never was. Theory time again. The week before Bountiful played a great game despite losing a close game to Clearfield. At the same time the Vikings were being destroyed by Layton. Again one team feeling good and the other mad. Same result. - No FARMINGTON decisions have been made yet, but high schools in the Davis County School District could be playing under a different athletic set up by next year. THAT ALL depends on how district leaders feel after further study of a proposal to realign the schools into a Greater Salt Lake Activities Association in which the Davis schools would play with other schools in the Salt Lake Valley. That association would include 24 schools in Salt Lake and Davis counties and would divorce itself from the Utah Activities Association, meaning member schools wouldnt play such schools as or Bonneville Weber, Skyview, said Assistant Supt. Gayle Stevenson. POSSIBLE alignments could place the following schools together in league play: Woods Cross, Davis, and Bountiful in one division with Clearfield, Layton and Viewmont together by including enrollment only in grades A second choice would consider total enrollment and would position Woods Cross, 10-1- Bountiful, Davis and View- mont together and Layton and Clearfield in a separate class. The third alternative would break down the 24 schools by geography with the Davis ALREADY THIS season there is talk about the Face it, the name good teams and the tags have been applied whether you agree with them or not. So if one of the big (good) teams is scheduled to play one of the other kind look at what happened the week before. A good example of this is coming up this week. On Tuesday the Clearfield team plays Weber, two of the good teams. Then on Friday the Falcons play Sky View, one of the other kind. If Clearfield wins on Tuesday thenthey might be primed for the upset if they take the Bobcats easy. schools all in one league along with West from Salt Lake IF THEY lose on Tuesday though the Falcons will be so mad the Bobcats could get blitzed. See the theory. Keep an eye on Bountiful too, they might sit back and look at their win over Layton too long. The team that doesnt win always gets that much madder for the next outing. The team that wins tends to let their guard down. son said, I would judge probably the reason for this kind of feeling present in the metropolitan area is one, financial. But financially, that move would not help the entire Utah association which depends heavily on money generated from basketball and football competition. A desire for more local control in athletic programs could also prompt the move, he said. Under the present system, small districts have the same vote as large districts, theoretically. has-been- s. DURING the week apply this theory. Then file it you know where with all the other sure thing theories.

Also addressing the issue was District Physical Education Supvr. James Hill who said, I feel that as far as our district is concerned, a great deal more study would have to go into it.
