Monkers, who graduated in 1975, also attends Weber State, and has done his student work with the Bonneville Lakers. IN TALKING about young players, Layton may have started the youngest team in the tournament. On opening night against Bountiful, Layton started four juniors and only one senior. The four juniors included Jeff Moon, Brad Merrill, Brett Campbell and Keith Williams. The lone starting senior was Mike Moss. We feel like we have a number ofjuniors who will have to use the summer months to help make them better ballplayers. Merrill and Campbell (Laytons big people) know they have got to work extra hard to get their skills down. coached basketball teams for years, would still like to find the right formula for a consistent showing in the state basketball tournament. MOONS LANCERS were not exactly something to brag about after their two-da- y showing in the just state basketball tournament. Layton completed fell to the eventual state champion, Bountiful on opening night, 80-6- 5 and then bowed out of the tournament with a 0 loss to Granger. Moon said he had to feel very disappointed about Laytons showing in the state tournament and felt it was too bad they had to come to Salt Lake City and play like they did. 4-- A 61-5- MONKERS worked with the sophomore football program at Bonneville this past season, specifically working with Harold Miller. He primarily worked with defensive ends on the varsity level and then with the sophomore defensive unit. Monkers knew after playing baseball at Clearfield and then working with the little league football program, that he wanted to pursue a career in coaching. His desire now is to obtain a teaching and coaching job in high school football and baseball. n, MOON REPORTED last week that Keiths mother may be thinking of moving back to California. Williams has indicated that if his mother goes back to WELKS DESIRE to coach was built around the California, he may go back also. Williams has been a valuable asset to the team this winter. As a junior swingman he averaged over 20 points a game through most the season and finally ended up second in scoring in Region One. He had led the region in scoring through most the season before faltering in the end. THE VETERAN Layton coach felt like the juniors on this years team had a long way to go before becoming title contenders, but added that this seasons playing time couldnt hurt them. The tournament experience was good for the younger kids. We are looking forward to next year, we really are, said Moon. WELK WAS a mainstay in football as a recei er. a forward on the basketball team and a champion 440 runner. He was a member of state champion mile W ELK CLAIMS that coaches at Roy, especially in football where he worked, gave him ample responsibilities. He worked with all three levels of sports, sophomore, JV and varsity. With the varsity he assisted with the receivers and the weak side linebackers later in the year. Welk has been asked to return with the Royals next year if he still hasnt landed a coaching position. IF WE can get these kids to get after it in the it will help our program immensely. Then when football starts, their efforts will not only make football better, but make them better individuals too, Moon said. There has been some question in recent weeks whether Keith Williams, the teams leading scorer, would be back for the following year. WE STUNK it up and didnt play well at all, he said, It just seemed that something went out of our kids the last three or four weeks of the season. We got beat by one point over to Weber and couldnt seem to pick it up after that. "As far as the whole season goes, we were proud to have reached our goal to get to the state tournament. Of course we felt that was a pretty fair accomplishment because of the youngness of our kids, said Moon. excitement his high school coaches had. "'Roger Reid, John Flint and others made coaching look deappealing. But I suppose the main reason is my Welk. said excell. them and kids see sire to help Monkers was a baseball player at Clearfield w here he played on the varsity level for three years. He and his teammates won the region both their junior and senior years and also went to state both ears. CLEARFIELD Two former Clearfield High athletes, Jay Welk and Blaine Monkers, have made their minds up that coaching is the direction they would like to continue in for their careers. Clearfield, Layton Captures First Round Girls Victories it. Clearfield committed 16 fouls in the first half and that was enough to cause Coach Margo Jones to put the team into a defense. By KEITH DUNCAN IT WILL mean a lot to us if he does come back, said Moon. Clearfield and Layton girls basketball teams both picked up victories in the opening round of the girls basketball tournament while Davis bowed into the consolation round. 4-- A Its All Over For Lange And 1981-198- Coach CLEARFIELD Fred Lange of Clearfield High takes his swimming team serious and though they probably wont win a state championship for a few years, there just arent too many coaches in this state who are as devoted to this sport as he is. tried to train quality swimmers in his program, but he attempts in every way to see the sport of swimming continue to grow in high school ranks. "Of course the financial concern is something our district administrators have taken into consideration, said Lange. AT THE present time, the only money needed to fiance the Clearfield High swimming program, is my salary. The kids I have coached over the recent years have been super in raising their own money for supplies we use in swimming and the extra money for a little extra good time for those that qualify for the state tournament, he said. This past season, swimmers at Clearfield raised $1200 which was used by those who qualified for the state swimming meet at the U. of U. points. The tough team in Clearfield's bracket will be the Alta Hawks who the Falcons most likely will play in the semifinals. IT TOOK fourth quarter surges by both the Lancers and the Falcons to post victories in the opening round. The Lancers were winners over a tough 4 Viewmont team, and Clearfield was able to tame Davis by twelve, Layton was to play in the second round against Hillcrest on Wednesday while Clearfield is scheduled to play Kearns at 8:10 on Thursday night. 47-4- Swimming Team 2 JENNIFER Beene led Clearfield with 14 points while Michelle Kelsey and Lori Hutchison had ten 47-3- cialize in one thing and try to become competitive in it, said Lange. IN THE game Tuesday night between Clearfield and Davis, both teams were a little nervous being in the first round of the tournament. We knew we had to win in the opening night, said Jennifer Beene, If a team can get by the first night with all the jitters SWIMMING a sport, is certainly on the line to be considered as a sport no in high school.

The kids made up the policy and I think it is going to be a good thing in the future." The state qualifiers, from Clearfield, were able to stay in a nice hotel and eat good food while competing in the state swim meet. BOTH CLEARFIELD and a handfull of swimmers from nearby Layton High, use the Clearfield municipal pool complex. This is accomplished free of charge to both schools because of the trade agreement that the city and Clearfield High have. The city recreation department presently has an agreement with the school to use their facilities to play basketball and football while in turn the swimmers at Clearfield can use the pool. . Lange noted that Woods Cross and Viewmont have similar trade agreements with a pool in their area. : ; TWENTY-SEVE- N swim- mers were involved in the Clearfield High program this 15 got past year while another iwet at Layton.

Glen is also within three seconds of the 100 free school record. I feel we have one of the up and coming sophomores in the area, said Lange of Coys doings. AS FAR as the girls program, Chris Boren finished first in the 100 back in Region One. Coach Lange said the team didnt work on the backstroke very much through the season and therefore had to credit Chris for her efforts. Chris also took third in the 100 butterfly and qualified for state there. Julie Jurek finished second in the 500 free in region and also third in the 200 free. Another sophomore, Jody Baw, was very promising as she qualified for state in the 200 IM and the 100 breastroke. Both girls relays qualifed for state also. COACH LANGE said his biggest joy came when most of his swimmers rose to the occasion and improved their times in the region meet. The Clearfield coach is also elated that next year he might be able (o use ninth grade swimmers in his program. This might take affect because ninth grade athletes do not have swimming in junior high. THERE WERE a number of significant things to highlight the season.
