Show i I WEEKLY REFLEX DAVIS NEWS JOURNAL, MAY 8. 1980 Davis Takes Second At Sophomore Make Athletics Equal In Travel Region Bv DAVE WIGHAM BRIGHAM CITY By DAVE WIGHAM' Most people believe that athletics and athletes in high schools get the royal treatment. Not so in some aspects. Take for example travel. A known fact that several high school basket-ba- ? ' te x mr- R4 Si K A ' , ?',, 3(v V i wV A;, '!' .

But this past week it was the sophomores turn to go head to head in the sophomore region meet. Ben Lomond won the meet with 153 points, with the Davis crew in second at 17. Ogden was third in the event with 93 team points, followed by Box Elder, Logan and Bear River. sA rtJL V'ios.si' iv si All six Davis County schools have qualified their soccer teams for the state tournaments this week. Davis is the number one ranked team in the 3A event with Bountiful ranked second. Woods Cross and Viewmont are also in the 3A event. Layton and Clearfield are both playing in the 4A tournament. Here the Woods Cross goalie STATE BOUND pushes a shot from Viewmont over the bar while several players from both sides watch intensely. IN THE CASE of one basketball team in the dis-trict, it was invited to stay in homes at no cost, no entry fee. The biggest problem would have been transportation. It wouldnt have cost that much and they could have easily raised the money on their " own, yet they were denied. 7 Now one band is in Colorado for three days at a tournament and paying for hotels as well as their transportation. Where is the logic behind this move? ' - ... THIS ISNT to say that the debate and bands should be cut off from their trips, but rather to say if its good enough for those organizations to travel then let the athletic teams go too. One example that has been offered is that it doesnt cost the district any money. Debate and band people have fund raisers and they use their own money. The basketball teams would be willing to do this too, but again they are denied. - W V' R ll teams have been invited to attend and participate tournaments in Idaho and Nevada. They were told by the district that they couldnt travel that far. Fine, we can accept those words. Problem is i though how is it that the bands and debate squads from the same district can travel to the places such as . Arizona and Colorado for their tournaments? in jf ... & ITS It looks like the rivalry in track and field between the Scots ol Ben Lomond and the Darts o Davis will be around for a long time. At least for another couple of years anyway. By DAVE WIGHAM Last SALT LAKE CITY week invitations were sent out to the various soccer teams in the state, and for the first time in history all six Davis County schools are in the elite tournament. BOTH THE 3A and the 4A state tournament get under way this week.The county WORD OUT of the district for next year is that there will be a fee assessed to those who wish to participate in the athletics. As one father noted and I dont though, Athletics is mind paying the fee. But the band is also in that category. So why not have them pay a fee? All this column is trying to say is that for years now ' people have been pointing to athletics as the main culprit in wasting money and travel. Take a look at other areas and lets not just single out the sports program. schools are rated high in the 3A and given a good shot in the 4A division. Truth is the Davis High soccer team got the number one seed in the 3A tournament, since the Darts havent lost a game all season. Their only blemish on an otherwise perfect season was a tie with Logan. Bountiful was ranked extra-curricul- number one most of the year, but a loss to Woods Cross on the final game ruined their no loss record. WORD FROM the experts around the league is that the 3A tournament is up for grabs with no real dominant team. Sure there are some favorites. But the general concensus is that any of the teams could win the tournament. On the other hand the experts point to a two team race in the 4A event with Orem and Skyline rated as outstanding clubs. Skyline got the number one ranking with Orem, a tie with Timpview, was number two. The tournament got under way on Monday with four games. The four region winners received a first round bye and will host their first games at home on Wednesday. A loss on Monday eliminates the team. But then starting on Wednesday it becomes a true double elimination event. tting a 4A. They have some talented players and have that impor- IN THE 4A tournament Brighton plays Weber, the winner to play Skyline. Layton gets Cottonwood on Monday with hopes of playing Alta on Wednesday. Granite and Bingham battle, with the winner playing Bonneville. Finally Clearfield will play Olympus with Orem waiting for the outcome. Bountiful has an excellent shot at the title. Last season they were second to Orem in IN THE 3A tournament then it stands like this. On Monday Highland will face Pleasant Grove with the winner to play at Davis High on Wednesday. Jordan faces Viewmont on Monday with the winner ge- shot at Wasatch Academy. This school only participates in soccer. In the lower bracket Judge will play Ben Lomond on Monday with the winner traveling lip tea "r KV' s to Bountiful to play the Braves on Wednesday. Then Woods Cross battles Logan on Monday with the winner taking on Murray on Wednesday. IT SHOULD be noted that the meet was held during constant rain so the times and distances werent up to those which were expected, but the competition was still fierce and hard. Robert Steed of the Darts, who gained attention for his fine wrestling this past season, was a double winner, taking both the discuss and the shot competition. Robert is fast tant state experience. Woods Cross is playing well and could very well be a big factor in the outcome. DAVIS HAS played well all season. They have a young club though and no one knows how theyll perform under pressure at the state tournament. They too have a very excellent chance at the title. Layton and Clearfield both have uphill battles in their class, but both have aggressive clubs that could surprise some people before its all over. one of the best athletes, allround, at the Kays-villschool.

They only played 7-- one game last week, since mother nature took her toll on Tuesday. West is right behind the Vikes with a 2 mark followed by Woods Cross at The Wildcats won a couple of games this past w eek to take over sole posession of third, while the Braves from Bountiful hit hard times and were beaten twice in the week, pulling their record down to South at Highland bring up the rear. 6-- THERE WAS no pitchers dual on Friday as the Cats went wild with the bats, while Tommy Woodland gave up one hit and walked three in shutting out the Braves. Todd Hayward had three hits, Wes Johnson and Terrin Hallows each had a pair, Ed Kent, Mike Brinkerhoff and Mark Eam-shaall contributed with the bats. Things werent much better on Tuesday for the Braves as Highland came from behind to The Rams scored win three runs in the bottom of the seventh to win. They were aided by a couple of errors. Kevin Kott, Kevin Beyer and Jason Elg all threw for the Braves while Jim Hill and Mike Haslam each picked up three hits. Viewmont will battle West this week. If the Vikes win it will not only clinch the title but would allow Woods Cross to move into second place. As it stands now it will be Viewmont, Woods Cross and West in the state event. 8-- ; DISCLS: STEEL (D) Hartog (BL) Flocken (D). pole vault: I. Cragun (BL) Slama (0) Olsen (D). Long jump: 1.

Layton and Clearfield finished in a two way tie for the team championship in Region One baseball. : LAYTON WON both head to head games with their rivals. But school officials were still to meet to decide which club would go to the state 4A tournament this week as the top club. It was mentioned that a coin flip would decide the outcome. Layton had a one game lead going into the final games of the seaon, but the Lancers dropped a 4 decision to Bonneville while the Falcons were 5 to put knocking off Roy the two clubs deadlocked with THAT BUBBLE popped on Friday though as the Lakers of Bonneville mined the celebration by beating Layton 4 be8-- 7-- 3 records. - BONNEVILLE finished third in the league while Weber was number four. All four of these teams will be entered in the state tournament. The Lancers appeared on their way to their first ever region baseball title on Thursday Mark as they shutout Roy Vigil went the distance giving up only three singles to the 11 bat-tdRoyals. He struck out in the process. At the plate rs Lance Brightshue led the attack with a couple of hits while Dave Burke had a triple and Kurt Gallegos along with Vigil had nin scoring singles. Mall Title trips to the plate for the winners. Brook Hicks and Danny Perkins each chipped in triples which drove in runs. hind the pitching of Cory Slyvester. Bright spot for the Layton club was the hitting of Jim Coble who came up with a two ran homerun and a triple to drive in two move runs. Meanwhile just up the road the Clearfield team knew exactly what they had to do to get a share of the title. Win two games. First they knocked off Weber 5 with Shane Open-shagetting three hits in four 6-- w Golf 8-- 11-- good weather is here to stay for the glimmer when you see rows and rows of mowers waiting to be sharpened and tuned up.

Again it was the bat of Open-shaleading the hitting parade as he picked up three more hits, including a triple. Dean NOW COMES the state tournament and both these clubs have legitimate shots at the crow. Word is that is one of the top clubs along with Skyline. But in a week-lontournament where pitching is the key anything can and usually does happen. The hot team will win the tournament and both the county clubs are very capable of getting the hot hand. Hill-cre- st g Course Opened Wasatch Mountain State Park Golf Course opened Friday for the 1980 season, according to Park Superinten- dent Earl J. Kohler. THEN ON Friday they sent Scott Frew to the mound needing a win to catch Layton. Frew didnt have one of his better days on the mound but he was good enough in going Vernon also picked up three hits and James Prothero a couple more. with us as our new golf professional, and recommend him to the public for their golf needs, he continued. The course is in excellent condition considering the severe winter we have experienced this past season, he said. The golf course will be in operation from daylight until dark. MR. KOHLER explained, that this should be a banner year for golfers at the states largest golf course nestled in the Wasatch Mountains near Midway, Utah. Golfers can expect the same high quality playing experience at Wasatch Mountain as in the past, said Supt. Kohler. We are pleased to have Bruce Summerhays When Bruce Summerhays was asked how he was enjoying his wqrk as golf pro he responded by saying, I am excited to be back in Utah. I think the entire operation at Wasatch Mountain is great. The setting is wonderful. The course is among the finest to be found anywhere. I would like to invite the public and all my friends to play at Wasatch mountain. We would be pleased to have you stop by, get acquainted, and let us be of assistance. WASATCH Mountain State Park Golf Course is a course which may be played in combinations of 9, 18 or 27 holes. Fees for each nine holes is $3 for regular players, and $2 for junior players (17 years and under) on weekdays only. IT WOULD probably be a tough question for Coach Bender to answer if one were to ask him which came easier the baby or the win. Both went into extra innings, but happily both were winners. The Vikings had to go into extra innings due to a costly error. In fact those errors were the plague of the Vikings all day as they committed six during the contest. Russ Cannon threw the first seven innings. He gave up six runs (only two were earned) seven hits and struck out four. Frank Putnam came in to throw two innings. He gave up one unearned run, a hit and struck out two. Offensively the Vikes did come up with enough runs to win but they also left 12 men on base. Grant Hepwroth was productive at the plate, driving in four runs with a couple of hits including a three run triple. Mike Ellis and Brian Skidmore each came up with three hits while Cannon picked up a couple. WOODS CROSS climbed back into the picture with a win over South early in the week and then a big 12-- 0 win over Bountiful on Friday.
