Though Sport Shorts 82-8- CLEARFIELD Falcons, who haven't lost in the first round of state tournament action for quite some time, took it on the chin from West Jordan for the second time this year. The 2 loss moved the Falcons into consolation play where they beat Bountiful 1 but lost to Roy A hot shooting Alta squad KAYSVILLE raced past Davis in the quest for fourth and seventh place in the 83 tournament last Saturday and the Darts had to settle for seventh with the loss. Lancers had to beat Roy for the third straight time this year to pull it all off. Everything Brighton tossed up, went in, said Checketts in review of the first nights action. But in review of more positive things, Checketts said his girls play their hearts out on defense the remainder of the tournament. THE RESULTS were indicative of Laytons MARGO, WHO has coached womens basketball at Clearfield for years, commented that 3 her gathering may have been the most balanced group of kids shed ever coached. Not just one girl could take things over, it had to be a team effort in order for us to win. Id have to say that Elise Ipson was our catalyst, she being our main leader and captain. But we had to have good efforts from Jody (Sherrod), Mandy (Hennenberger), Raye Lynn (Hayes) and others in order to really get the job done, said the coach. THE DARTS WERE paced in the tournament by strong performances from Diana Peterson (had 14 points in the opening night win over Granger), Teri Hartley (had 16 points in the win over Cottonwood), Tracie Belt (high point person in the loss against Alta with 13), Cheri Baxter and Gwen Greenhalgh. ing was sparked also by offensive punch of AND JUST like the boys, the girls came back to win their next three games and claim this Coburn Trots Away With Title senior or two on the court at any time this year.

Im proud of the girls, said Margo Jones, Most people picked us to do no better than fourth in our league and these girls end up tying for the league title. they couldnt quite oust Highland in the running for the region title, the 17-- 7 overall record shows the girls knew how to win and at times how to win very big. Two of those big wins came in the tournament including the opening night victory over Granger, a 4 trounce. The other was the 1 rocking of Cottonwood that sent Davis into the last day of action. 55-4- Layton High Mark Thompson and Terry Coburn ... the Falcons still were able to beat Bountiful for their only tournament win, thanks to quickness of their guardline.
