At Layton High the Lancers are just fans are enjoying night games, the players will too. Rather than playing in the heat of the afternoon, players can now letting it be known in a silent but deliberate way that they are just as excited as anyone, especially with the addition of night games on their home schedule. conditions. SENIOR BRAD Merrill, ho could probably get the call as quarterback, appears most excited about the new lights in Lancer Stadium. who resigned coaching to accept a full time recreation job with Layton City. Russ Jones, Brad Hawkins, Doug Moon and Mike Hansen will continue to assist Gary. w We're all pretty excited about the new lights. It's really given us something to look forward too, said Merrill who also plays important roles on the basketball and baseball teams later in the year. I BELIEVE we will be a closer unit than what we were last year, said Merrill, There is no separate groups and it appears so far during the summer that the spirit about winning has been ten times better. think things turned around when we all got I together early in the summer. We made up our minds then that football was going to be fun this year. We didn't necessarily set a goal to win the league title, but we committed to have fun and win a lot more than what we did last year, he said. MERRILL LIKES the progress the Lancers have made so far. Three days of the week are spent lifting weights while Coach Gary Hansen has other days filled with skilled people going through pass patterns and linemen going through blocking drills. "Weve had about 40 guys coming out. which isn't too bad, said Merrill. COACH HANSEN, who has waded through both the good and th bad at Layton, admits the lights could be a big boost to his program. The lights have been something I've personally wanted for a long time, said Hansen. "It will help our attendance in that people who get off work at 4 p.m. can now go home and relax a bit, eat dinner and come to our games much more at ease. Because after all, without the fans we couldn't make it go." Hansen said. AND AT the same time the REGION 4 geographic area covers North Ogden to Farm- ington and Morgan to the shore of the Great Salt Lake. give it their all in much cooler Assisting Hansen this year be basically the same staff he has had in the past. The one new addition is Mike Gardner from Centerville Junior High who will replace Carter Cook as anyone. The new lights may have a lot to do with it she said. ITS A SPECIAL thing to witness the players, coaches, cheerleaders, drill teams and pep club all working for a single cause, said Fleming. Fleming admits its always fun to win, having seen high flying times at the school as well as the less notable times. IT ALL BOILS down to the fact that if the kids and the adults who are with them are having fun, then failure isnt a part of it. You also have to remember that in certain years schools will come up with a number of sterling scholars but the very next year wont quite produce as many. The same is true in athletics. Some years you have it and in others you don't. Coach Hansen has done a super job here and we are all looking forward to another season with him, she said.

Norman Tames Valley View Keith Duncan Journal Sports LAYTON Valley View Golf Course provided enough challenges last week during the Women's State Amateur but it was young Terry Norman who presented the biggest obstacle as BYU sophomore won the the blonde-haire- d 1982 championship by a whopping 17 strokes. VALLEY VIEW, stated by most to be in the some of finest shape it has ever been, snake-bi- t the finest women golfers for three days. Only Norman, who won this same tournament in 1980, could master the beautiful layout. She round. That was the only golfer to fire a sub-pa- r came on Thursday with an outstanding 73. It was after her brilliant perform- ance on Thursday that gave her a lead. Normans rounds of 8 , 73 and 74 were just too much for second place finisher Barbara Wright of Salt Lake City who plays out of Stanford Univer- moved all doubt that she is the best female golfer in the state at the moment. Norman has won five titles in five tries this summer. And after she rests for a while she plans to enter the Bonneville Invitational August After that she is planning on the UGA Women's Tournament in Logan on Sept. 10. Norman won her first state amateur (1980) on what might be called her "home course. Terry is 26-2- from Provo and won the 1980 event at the Golf Course. Timpa-nogo- THIS WIN was much more satisfying, s said Norman as she mingled with the 15 lady golfers on the top floor of the Valley View clubhouse right after the victory. It's always nice to show 1 sity. Wright, who finished second for the fourth straight year, finished with a final total of 243 compared to Normans 228. you can win a big one like this away from home she added. I felt confident when 1 started the last round. 1 wasnt nervous like I was when started the last round in the State Amateur I won a couple of years ago. It just felt good to finish, it was hot all weather that day. She referred to the focused on the Valley View competitors. NORMAN, AGE 19, plans to enter her sophomore year at BYU next month, but she re TAKING THIRD place was Patty Price of Salt Lake City who said she always seems to take five-stro- 1 . never more or never less. Finishing fourth was the defending state champion, Heidi Wallin who never quite got untracked after starting the tournament with an 82 and finally ending up with a 247. Wallin was an outstanding Weber High golfer who exploded quickly on the scene after graduating. She is the AIAW Division II championship medalist. third, I REALLY cant make excuses about my rounds. I should shoot in the 70s here every time. The course was in great shape the three days we golfed and aside from a little wind on the first day it was almost perfect for conditions, Wallin said. Results of the tournament are as follows: Final flight winners were. Championship flight gross Terry Norman, 228; Barbara Wright 243; Patty Price 246 and Heidi Wallin 247. 1 CHAMPIONSHIP flight net Lisa Ikegami, Virginia Franches and Joyce Billings, 223 (Ikegami won playoff); Kim Burnett and Nell Allred, 224. Presidents flight gross Terry Howard and Marta Aardema, 258 (Howard won playoff); Vickie Hemingway, 268. had been recruited illegally. In fact many of the illegal happenings had taken place before we played San Francisco. WELL, THEY bbat us and we had to come home to some disheartened fans who wanted to see us go futher. But later we find that we had been beaten by a program that had cheated and done things illegally. Im very much for the action that took place with their basketball program. I just wish more schools would do similar. Dam it, there just isnt any place for cheating. ITS AWFULLY difficult to control alumni groups, but there is no excuse for coaches. They know what kind of kids they are recruiting. If we cant attract the kind of kids to play basketball that know right from wrong, we have no business being in front of the public like we are. Im very happy they dropped the program. Reid is convinced that rules, especially those that coaches and alumni must abide by in recruiting, were made to be kept not broken as is done constantly. SAN FRANCISCO, by beating us, adv- anced further into the tournament and secured over $200,00 in revenue. It doesnt leave you with a very good taste, especially when we could have been there too, added Reid. One local coach, the veteran Mike Gardner of Davis High, knows all too well that illegal hand outs and offers are made from schools outside this state. IS GETTLNG rid of the basketball program for two or three years to solve the problem, the solution? I believe so. To me, if someone is cheating, they ought to be punished, Gardner continued. The Davis High coach said the NCAA should make stiffer penalties, stating that he didnt particularly agree with keeping a team for two or three out of the NCAA play-off- s years. I belive that the team should not only n be banned from play, but the post-seaso- cheating coach should be eliminated or put on probation. Fining him isnt enough because the alumni will pay for it, stated Gardner. THE RULES are specific and spelled out perfectly, and if a guy isnt smart enough to abide by the rules then he ought to be kicked out of the program. I feel that strongly about it. The same thing applies in high school. There has been cases where a coach has tried to encourage parents to move so the kid could play for his school. Again, the coach ought to be punished. It doesnt matter what level eliminated you're on, the cheating ought to be completely," he said. SO AS good recruiting takes place among us, so comes good basketball. One piece of good' news about this winter is that basketball fans across the state who pick their favorite will see plenty of local talent dotting the four diffemt rosters. At Utah State the Aggies will have Bob DeMarco of Hillcrest, Joel Rotta of Judge, Ron Ence of Olympus and Chris McMullin of Orem. 773-330- AYSO Plans Sign-up- s Registration for the fall AYSO soccer program in Clearfield will be conducted at the Clearfield Swim Pool, 934 S. 1000 East, starting Aug. 4 and running thru Aug. 20.

But the bright thing about Utah schools is that in the 16 years I have coached prep basketball and had four players actively sought after by all four Utah major universities, I do no know of one situation where there was any illegal recruiting involved. The four players basically limited their choices to Utah schools and never have I heard of one sour thing, said Gardner. GARDNER IS of the opinion that the one major problem is the alumni associations, one of the big problems that San Francisco had. In fact in my 16 years as a head coach. I've nevery heard of anything illegally done by a major Utah college. But I do know that it goes on in other places and something must be done. I think the University of San Francisco has taken the first step in recognizing that they do have a problem and the thing I really admire is that they did something about it. .

ITS NO secret that major college basketball. w ithin the state of Utah, attracts hundreds of thousands of on lookers each and every season. If suddenly college basketball were taken away. I doubt seriously that life could go on normally for many. Well, basketball is here and will be for a long long time. And the people who deserve the thanks are those who mold together the teams and the alumni associations who support them. The same, however, cannot be said about the situation at the University of San Francisco. Because of cheating and illegal recruite ing, the schools officials have said good-bywhile. a for their to program ROGER REID, a former Clearfield High School coach, and now one of Coach Frank Arnold's chief assistants at BYU, felt no sympathy for what took place on the west coast campus. This is my feeling and I hope people understand where I am coming from, said Reid last Monday in a telephone interview.
