Show WEEKLY REFLEX DAVIS NEWS JOURNAL, NORTH DAVIS LEADER, MARCH 4. 1982 h By KEITH DUNCAN 39-2- 5 SALT LAKE CITY -Coach Doug Moon wont argue with anyone that Bountiful was a much better team than what his Layton Lancers had to offer last Tuesday night at the Special Events Center, but he would debate somebody if they questioned this same group of Lancers would be back in next years state tournament. THEY (BOUNTIFUL) are a good team. They rank right with the best of them. Their outside shooting and quickness inside was just too much for us. creased that to after two quarters. It could have been worse for Layton in that second quarter had Jeff Moon not had the hot hand. Jeff, the son of the coach, canned 12 points in that second quarter to play and wound up with 16 for the game. The Braves continued their torrid pace in the second half mainly behind the outside shooting of Lex Brown who ended the game with 28 points. Brown hit Bountifuls first two buckets to start the second half and never quite allowed any one to contain him. Its just basketsense," said Moon, ready. play but didn't quite wait for things to happen, said Moon. Moon felt that either Roy or Bountiful would win the state title after losing T uesday night. Layton played Roy twice during regular season and could not stay w ith the Royals or the Braves on the boards. He says Bountifuls outside quickness may be the difference in a champion. BUT SOME costly turnovers and the fact Keith Williams was trying to force it a little, hurt us. Keith was ready to IM PROUD of my kids.

Moon said his young team accomplished their goal of getting to the state tournament and though it would have been nice to catch a victory on opening day, they do feel like they reached some pinacle of success. EVERYONE I think has a goal of getting to the state toursaid Moon, Once nament, you get there, anything can happen. Bountiful is considered by many as one of the top clubs in the state and their performance Tuesday was certainly indicative of that billing. They have what it takes, said Moon, They will probably be battling someone for the state title. THE BRAVES led af- 17-1- 2 ter the first period and in SALT LAKE CITY How sweet it was! For the first time in four years Clearfield High became victorious in the first round of the state basketball tournament. The romp over Woods Cross last Monday night was certainly a time for celebration. 4-- 69-4- 8 COACH CRAIG Hansen, in his fourth year at now Clearfield, had seen five straight tournament losses before the whopping victory over Woods Cross. It was only his first year as a Clearfield head coach that a team of his had won in the first round of the coveted state playoffs. Clearfields second victory over Woods Cross this year was not only sweet, in light of the fact they got past the first round without a defeat, but it also helped to erase the stagnant cloud that Clearfield ll teams peak too soon. ITS TRUE that people take their basketball serious around Clearfield and those that play usually play basketball all year round. When rolls around there probably isnt a team in the state that is in the form Clearfield is. But in past years the Falcons have mysteriously taken a dive when they got to the tournament which in turn has prompted some to call their problem a peak too soon. But Mondays victory helped to douse some of those discussions. Coach Ray Meibos has assisted Hansen through the past four years and was as excited about the victory as anyone. Our key was the defense on the big guys, especially the guards who broke down their passes to the bigger people, explained Meibos. MEIBOS LED an excellent juniorvarsity team this past year where Clearfield finished with an record. The assistant coach said the guards were the most consistent players on the team with Steve Flink and Mark Wilson filling in valuable roles. As Wilson began playing more varsity ball, Jeff Perry a sophomore, stepped in and filled his place admirably. Perry started the last five JV games. 8-- 2 OUR KEY with the JVs was their dedication and desire to win, said Meibos. Lane Riggs, Clearfields tallest guard at ignited a fourth quarter surge for the Falcons last Monday night that ourselves, we went out and play ed aggressive basketball and proved to the school that we could win in the first round," he said. 64, saw Clearfield outscore Woods Cross stanza. 28-- 8 MARK WILSON, a junior, reported, I like the crowd in varsity games, they really have a way of getting a player moving During JV games there isn't quite the crowd. was worried a little coming into this game because of their size but we all knew we were a quicker team. We just hustled and beat them," said Wilson. in the final HIS SIX straight points to start that surge was a key in Clearfields win. I knew we had to get it going, because it was do or die. wasnt going to wait for anyone else to start it, so I took that first shot and luckily it went in, said Riggs. Riggs, who suffered a let down in the second half of the season later rammed through a stuff shot on a breakaway steal. The stuff shot sent elec1 GREG BOREN, who missed most of the season with a shoulder separation came back to play a steady game Monday. He said, Weve got a feeling that we are going all the way. Weve got a lot better tricity through the entire Clearfield team. since our first game with Woods Cross. I think they just I WENT through a slump through part of league play, but I never lost hope. Finally it payed off, said Riggs. The past few years I think teams have psyched themselves out before going to state. This year we knew we were going to win mainly because we had beat them before. Instead of over psyching forgot how much we have improved." Bret Peterson, the guard for Clearfield, also said a few words, "We knew we could beat them because we had done it earlier. Ive been kinda tired of hearing that Clearfield peaks too soon so we came out here to put those words away. We are playing the best ball we have ever played. PETERSONS role may not have been scoring points in the earlier going but in five of the past six games he has been in double figures. Jeff Schofield at 67" was a blanket on Woods Cross' Greg Houskeeper all night. Coach just told me to cup him and I tried my best. The guards were not lobbing the ball high enough which gave me the chance of knocking alot of them away," said Scofield. three-quart- SCHOFIELD said there was plenty of pressure going into the game, especially from people who knew of Clearfield's past track record in the tournament.

Swimming OVER 1,000 IN STOCK State 4-Tournament A By KEITH DUNCAN The 98 CLEARFIELD lbs. wrestler at Clearfield High is what the quarterback is to BYU football or even what the running back is to Southern California. IT WOULD take a pretty good hunt to find a school in Utah with the kind of track record the 98 pounder has posted with the Falcons. Mark Lavato became the first Falcon to capture a state championship at wrestlings lightest competitive weight. Doug Higley was the next to capture a coveted state title and, last but not least, to , accomplish the feat is Steve Ulibarri probably the greatest of them all. ULIBARRI, who just wrapped up his final year of petition with Clearfield, was singled out by Coach Scott Tennis as the best pins, 30 takedowns to ten for his opponents, and a grand total of 163 points (second only to Doug Kopecky), must have been an inspiration to other Clearfield like Don Edwards, Randy Shelley, Dusty McMullin, Troy Norton and Mike Leedam. All of these grapplers were strong competitors. Edwards stood out the most with an record and seven pins. Hell be back next season. 55 matches and lost only three, said Tennis. STEVE WON the state title last year as a junior, placed third this season and was fifth as a sophomore. Higley, seasons, through the 1975-7- 6 placed first and third in state. e Ulibarri was also a region champion and placed second the other. The reasons for Steves undaunted success could be classified into many slots but his coach chooses to narrow it down to one. two-tim- HE JUST had an unbelievable desire to be the best, said Tennis, Because of that he was an inspiration to all of us. Ulibarris heroics during this past season of 28 wins, 1 1 -- I can remember when Steve lost in his semifinal match at state, how many parents sat in the stands and were teary-eyesaid Tennis, Everyone was heartbroken when he lost out for the title. d, 1 ULIBARRI will probably be remembered him was like not placing at all. thinking tactics on the mat than emotionalism, which some wrestlers have to have. I can remember one time Steve getting punched in the face with a cross face. He didn't get mad, however, he just thought about it for a minute and came back to pin the guy. I dont think Ive ever seen Steve get mad, said Tennis. Ulibarri himself says he is getting serious about freestyle wrestling where he might meet the same kid that beat him in rather ANOTHER unforgettable trait of Steves was his dedication to the sport. In the beginning of the just completed season, Steve weighed in at 118 pounds. He starved and scraped until he got down to 101. Steve was wrestling 105 lbs. for a while this year, said Tennis, But at one point he made a promise to Shad Ragan that if he didn't get down to 98 that next week, he wouldnt wrestle that week. Steve kept his promise to Shad and made weight at the lighter weight bing his chin and then hipping him to his back and pinning him. Ive seen Steve do moves state.

TENNIS COMMENTED that Ulibarri feels dejected and let down that he didnt win the state title and placing third to most for his to ever attend the school. There is no question in my mind that Steve deserves the honor to be called the best. He was the first wrestler in Clearfield history to place three straight years in state and in two years of wrestling he won Steve was also a favorite among the parents of the wrestlers who witnessed the Falcons performance at state.
