Show DECEMBER 21,1983 Pivotal Game For Darts May Have Been Win Over Previous Undefeated Bees xSr" 1Z ' 4 r - By KEITH DUNCAN ,., THIS WEEK the Darts were to travel to West Jordan on Tuesday night and turn around the next night and Clearfield in Clearfield But prior to meet arch-rivthose games, Gardner probably had the best feeling about his club that hes had all fall. He gave the kids all the credit for coming back from a terrible loss to Bonne-- v ille, then turning around tw o nights later and w hipping a very good undefeated team. In case anyone doesn t know. Box Elder has beaten some pietty good people this year, folks like Bonnev ille and tew mont. W about any question, Davis proved they could play with a team Journal Sports Zl KAYSVILLE - In many respects, the pivotal game in Davis Highs present basketball season may have been the 4 victory over Box Elder last Friday night here. -- 31 58-5- BESIDES Alta, Mike Gardner's bunch got the club in the slowest jump on the new season of any state and theyve had their share of struggles getting in gear. But the impressive win over the previously undefeated Bees was by far their finest performance of the year as a team, as well individually for a few like junior center, Mike Orton. The 3 red head, who sat out falls foorball campaign with a broken wrist, worked hard from the opening tip to the final buzzer against the Bees. He grabbed at least 10 rebounds blocked five shots and was a wonder on defense in terms of footwork. 4-- A Steady and consistent Jeff Parry has played brilliantly in recent games for Clearfield. GARDNER, NEEDLESS to say, was pleased. He commented, "We finally played a team our own size, and Orton made the best of it. If there had ofbeena6-7- , 8 guy in there, it might have been a different story. But if Mike keeps working as hard as he did in the Box Elder game, we just might be competitive against the bigger guys. ASSISTANT coach Ward Sawley knows the club has a long way to go before they can be competitive night in and night out with teams like Bountiful and East, but he did think that last Fridays contest may have been the first outing in the past two years that this group of Davis players has played hard from start to finish. And through most of it, Orton wasnt letting anyone down. When Orton does have to leave the Davis line-uthe Darts really dont lose that much even though 1 Jeff Sampson switched to center and the height advantage is lost. But the rugged Sampson does a favorable job inside according to Gardner because he's big, he blocks out well and seemingly holds his ownagainst the bigger opponents. With the motion offense that the Darts run, they really dont have a true center anyway as guys are always rotating in and out of the paint area. jft Lancers Slipping White Falcons Host Davis Darts bn n tc Of Jr This week marks the final week of prep bas-- " ketball action before both Layton and Clear- field prepare with some extra intensity for their respective league schedules which get underway the first week of January. LAYTON LANCERS - LAYTON Mentally, the loss of senior guard Tom Kidd, will hurt the Layton Lancer basketball team probably more than physically. Kidd suffered a stress fracture to one of his ankles against Kearns two weeks ago and may be lost until a few games into the Region One schedule. THE LANCERS, without Toms services, lost their fifth game in a row last Friday night to Junior guard, Darrell Martin, Murray, who was also injured in the Kearns game, has come back and pumped in 38 points last week for the club in two games. Tuesday of this week, Layton was to have played against Highland. 63-5- 6. I rWE HAVENT played well yet, said Moon in reflection of the But if we get Tom back for league play, I think weve still got the makings of a good basketball team. But, we will have our work cut out for 1- -6 n, 'US. f: CLEARFIELD FALCONS ijn CLEARFIELD an - Just as Layton is heading direction, the Falcons of .r Clearfield arent doing all that bad as of late. ' The club won its second straight last Friday 6-- night by whipping Logan, 8 in a game that was worse for the Grizzlies than the score might indicate. 65-5- THIS WEEK Clearfield met Ogden on Tuesday night and on Wednesday were scheduled to meet with Davis High on Wednesday. The game with the Darts was originally to be played in Kaysville, but has been moved to Clearfield because of new lights being installed in the Davis gym. The game should have been a classic again, just like it always is. Davis has been playing some fairly tough competition as of late, their most recent, a victory over previously unbeaten Box Elder. ' LAYTON - Jim Peterson, i.who resides in Layton with his ife and four children, was a THE FALCONS are getting some exceptional play out of their senior guardline in Jeff Parry and Curtis Cook. Another who has performed well in recent games has been senior forward Hal Schofield. Schofield is a nephew to Davis head coach Mike Gardner. I think Hal has been very relaxed lately, said Clearfields Craig Hansen, Therefore his shooting, rebounding and heads up defense have all been keys to our winning. tcent i X participant in the 2nd annual Ogden Spokemasters Class Basketball Touranment.

But Jim remembers his constant struggle to fit in with L the other kids. It was the rage I to wear the tightest jeans pos-- . 5, AT AGE 19, Jim married. He and his wife Joy have four children and make their home in Layton. He works in Salt Lake for the U.S. Forest Service at Geometronics Service Center. In 980, Jim was 30 years old and he was feeling tired and overweight. He said, I felt fat, ugly and old. It was at this point he decided to do something positive about his physical condition and began a personal sports program. 1 THE end of 1981, Jim had competed in 43 road races. He raced 32 times in 1982. In 1983 he was more selective and only raced 26 times. He now holds the all time record for a BY wheelchair athlete in these races: The Golden Spike Marathon, Brigham City, The American West Marathon in Logan, the Deseret News Marathon, Salt Lake City and the Colorado Marathon in Grand Junction. In 1981 Jim began skiing. He is one of the few four track skiers around. He compliments the local ski resorts for their growing accessibility for disabled skiers. In recent months, there has been a great deal of debate on whether or not music should be included m the schools curriculum. 1 had the pleasure of interviewing Kieth Bnmhall. the band director of Kaysville Jr. High on his views of the part music plays in education. Dl RING THIS time greatly-flourishe- throughout the land. Could there be some correlation between how we learn and music1 about told was I documented evidence of this Mr. Bnmhall told me of a paper that came tojust such a conclusion. Through the study it was established that intelligence is enhanced by the study of fine arts. Some scientist oriented state that music-ar- t side of the brain is put to work with the side of the brain w hich controls math, English, etc. 1 his giv es a much fuller learning than the employer of the "tacts" side itself. A COIPLE of good reasons for Smiths 15 of 20 freethrow shooting, was Box Elder's decision to go man in the second half and to press the Darts all over the court. Against the extended defense. Smith who controls the ball of the time in contiol situations for the Darts, was fouled and was at the line shooting. "It worked perfectly for us," said Gardner about Smiths success in picking up fouls. We want the opponents to defense Smith because we know he can put the freethrows in Ryan sank 7 of 10 fieethrows going down the stretch. ESPECIALLY m times such as this with drugs, alcohol and social problems, the right kind of music could go a long w ay to a better tomorrow. By KEITH DUNCAN Journal his one has to be a want. Sports The season that the dual wrestling match between Clearfield and Layton isnt anxiously awaited for, is the year Scott Tennis and Mike Hansen commit that basketball is a better sport than wrestling. YES FOLKS, the meeting between these two schools is just three and half weeks away. In January these two schools will square off again in a Region One dual meet that will decide who will take home the featured traveling trophy instigated last year by J.P.s Texaco Service, (owned by John Petroff). The way its shaping up right now, the featured dual should be seriously close. The Falcons have a solid 1983-8- 4 club and so do the Lancers. NICKY Romero of Layton should give Clearfields Wayne Estep all he wants at 98. At this point however, Id favor Clearfield by just a bit. At 105 youd find Dusty McMullin of Clearfield meeting Brandon Hammonds of Layton. Pool Mgr. Ext. 219 toss-u- II THE Lancers would be favored with Eric Hyde meeting Greg Johnson. Hyde would win this match by perhaps a big margin, if not a pin. The 1 19 dual could be the dandy of them all with Laytons Rodney Rientjes meeting the Falcons Shad Ragan. It's tough, but Rodney AT highly-toute- d JOHN KELLY of Clearfield and Chuck Hanor of Layton meet at 155 where I might give Chuck the advantage. Clearfield's Mike Sorensen has the edge at 167 over Layton's Larry Rynders, but anything could happen here. But I believe Mike would win by four or five points. might be just slightly favored. CLEARFIELDS Rick Herdt and Laytons Song Pol Niseri would battle at 126 and I right now would give the edge to Herdt. but just AT 185, its another toss-uagain with Laytons Dennis Wyinze meeting Clearfield's p barely. At 132 it would be sophomore, Todd Kopecky facing Layton's Vance Yoskikawa. I like what Todds shown thus far, but Vance isnt a pushover. Todd favored by just a few points. Scott Ferrin. This match could very well come down to the heavyweight match where if it did, Clearfield would have the advantage with Dennis Langford meeting Bubba Arrant. LAYTONS got the edge at 138 with Brian Bailey over Merrill Johnson. Bailey might even get a pin. I THIS EARLY its hard to tell, but from what see, Clearfield would probably win six matches, Layton four and two are up for grabs. See you there. ANTIFREEZE FOR WORKING FEET. Dept. Supt.

"It could go a long way." In the country of Hungary, an appreciation for music is taught young to grade school children. By the time they reach the junior high level, nearly every student either plays an instrument or sings in a choir. A sense of belonging arises from these groups and many social problems don't apply to them. EVEN ANOTHER relative bright spot was on the performance of sophomore Mike Taylor who handled himself extremely well in tight situations. Gardner says that the young Taylor is going to of varsity action before the season is over. Steve Sargent played relaxed against Box Elder and when someone found him open on the baseline, he'd can a jumper to keep Dav is ahead going dow n the final few minutes.

Cook has been one of the top scorers in both of the last two wins over Ben Lomond and Lbgan. Im particularly pleased with our rebounding in recent games, said Hansen. Clearfield has outrebounded their past three opponents, which included Bingham, one of the best teams in the state. sibie.

Another genuine bright spot foi the Darts comes in the form of senior guaid Ryan Smith. There aie probably very few players in the state bLssed with his talented of dribbling into a crowd of opponents and either coming out the other end still with the ball or draw mg a foul. Time after time against the Bees, Smith was successful in drawing fouls and once at the line, he usually put the points on the board. 1 il Its Way their own size. 6-- .Greg Bojkin gives a head fake and goes up for two against Bingham.
