Show MARCH 14, 1984 Girotely, Sargent Get Spot On Al! Academic Team Journal Sports A couple of locals in John Grotzky and Steve Sargent were not only competitors this winter on the basketball floor, but left their sneakers and basketballs behind tb win in the classroom. i I TELL YA something, said John, In the eighth grade I hoovered in the 2.8 and 3.4 area until I finally learned the valuable principle of listening. Adults who had been through all of this before, told me that nothing really counted until my ninth grade year. I consequently jumped from a 3.4 to a 3.95 in the ninth grade. When asked how he finds the time to study, Grotzky reported very simply, You know, just thinking about it, during the winter Id usually get home from basketball around 5:30. That gave me from 5:30 to 10 to get everything I needed to get done. IN FACT the two have been winning in the latter area for quite some time now, at least since their ninth grade days. John, who represents Clearfield High and Steve, who holds Davis Highs banner, might have what it takes to win a coveted spot on the 1984 squad, in basketball talent that is. But there is no question which team theyve already made-- it comes in the Academic Basket-- , first style of ball Team. James Smith of Kaysville won Layton City Recreation chess title. 4-- A All-Sta- te all-st- ar 4-- i seniors JOHN AND Steve are two of ten .selected to the first annual High School Activities Association Academic Team. The other team members include Gary Calvert of Weber High, Steve Schreiner of Brighton, Dave Pech of Bonneville, Keams Brett Falk, Easts Edward Peterson, Grangers Jeff Willardson, Dan Henderson of Bingham and finally Steve Trost of Granite High. Coca-Cola-Ut- By KEITH DUNCAN SMITH, WHO graduated from Layton High in 1977 and was a member of the Layton Chess Club, lost to Phillip Vollmer in an earlier tournament game. But Smith came back through the losers bracket, winning six straight, to take home a pretty good sized trophy for his - LAYTON James Smith, whos being honored these days as the new Layton City Recreation Chess champion, simply likes the game because of its never ending challenge. SAID SMITH after defeating Mike Wright for the title, This is the first chess championship Ive ever won, so its pretty But aside from the winning, I like the game because it lets my mind do some heavythinking and allows me to meet new friends I couldnt meet anywhere else. And if Smith wants to, he can come back and win another tournament. Because of the popularity of the first chess event, city recreation officials report they will hold another tournament as soon as they have enough people to start it. Those interested should call the Layton Recreation Department at Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. efforts. Other top placers in the tournament included Vollmer, John Hiner, Wayne Hunt, Clint Reid and Shane Hamblin. Wright finished second after losing to Smith in the championship bout. 544-345- 8, lost that race by only 1 of a second and beat Clearfield which took third. Going For The Gold, Or Snow! By KEITH Flints Falcons DUNCAN Journal Sports - Going for the gold or plowing the snow. Thats perhaps the best way to sum up the beginning of the 1984 prep track and field season. CLEARFIELDS John Flint, Laytons Russ Jones and Davis' Mike Shaw all have some very respected track greats, but how soon theyll be pinning gold medals on their letter-ma- n jackets remains to be seen with all the snow and muck still lingering on. Jones Lancers - ; WALTERS AND Lacey also looked sharp in the 60 meters at BYU. Jones also plans to use Kealamakia in the hurdles. Jones is hoping that a few kids like Tom Allen, Rich Elmore and Carlos Salazar help the club in the long distance runs. None of them are region championship material, but theyve all knocked off at least 20 to 25 seconds of their times in the past few weeks, said Jones. Jones is also hopeful that Leon Comaby can continue to improve in the pole vault. LAYTON The Lancers Dave Brimhall is primed to have energetic season in the shot put. He was last year's third place finalist in the state meet and hasn't done too bad in recent indoor meets. CLEARFIELD The Falcons, at least this early in the season, appear to have some of the states top individual talent but they are lacking an ingredient called depth which has been a vital part of their program in recent years. COACH JOHN Flint will be trying to capture the school's fifth straight Region One track and field title with guys like Ricky Smith who ran a 50.2 in the open 400 meters to set a new indoor school record. He's done that despite having some sickness that has even seen him stay in the hospital for a short time. The Falcons will also depend on James Moore in the pole vault. He jumped 14 feet at the BYU Indoor Invitational to establish a new school indoor record. CLEARFIELD'S STRENGTH in the shot put is also a plus where Kim Thurgood and Craig Carter have been the two top putters in through the entire indoor circuit. Thurgood has already thrown over 54 feel. Carter is the amazing sophomore, w hose older brother presently holds the state record in the shot.. Hal Schofield has lofted himself over a 6--6 high jump bar and might be one of the states top contenders there. That also set an indoor school record. 4-- A : : i ! i i : ! ! j ACCORDING TO Jones Dave still has to get his timing down, but that wont take him long. Brimhall's biggest competition will come trom his two Ucarticld neighbors, Kim Thurgood and Craig Carter. Jones might have some surprises for folks in the mile relay. At the BYU Indoor Invitational a few weekends ago, Layton used the combination of Darrell Lacey, Tony Walters, Lyle Morris and Terry Kealamakia to place second to Mountain View. Layton at the time didnt even have out kids like Tom Kidd, Mike Tucker. Chuck Hanor and Darry l Martin. Layton D J AUTO involved in algebra in the eighth grade, geometry in the ninth grade and intermediate in the tenth grade. Last year he Algebra-Tri- g was in College Algebra and Analetical Geometry. This year calculus. I i i, Sargent. Clearfield Formulates Baseball The Clearfield Recreation Department is now formulating its 1984 Little League Baseball season. The program will include four different leagues for boys and girls: Minors ages ages and Seniors Majors ages Ages are deterages mined by Aug. 1, 1984. 6-- 10-1- 13-1- - REGISTRATION will be conducted from March 13 6-- 6. through April 5 at the Clearfield Swim Pool, 934 S. 1000 ANOTHER DAVIS hopeful is Todd Anderson in the 400 meters. Had Anderson not injured his heel in the state meet last season, he may have gone on to place the 400 meters. He will also be valuable to the Darts in their relay races. A transfer, Jeff Singley, is a very competitive hurdler and high jumper. He high jumped over 5 last year. He and Morgan could make quite a tandem in the high jump. In fact the Darts could have four of the top six places in the high jump within their own region. E., Monday through Friday The Clearfield Recreation Department is now formulating its Mens softball program for 1984. The program w ill include six mens slow pitch teams to be played on Tuesday or Wednesday nights. JEFF OHWYLER will give the Darts some strengths in the javelin, w here he took fifth in the state last year. He could also help the Darts in the relays and some middle distance races. Eric Thompson, a junior, will give Davis some strength in the shot put and discus. Presently he is throwing the shot pul with the discus spin and has a shot put throw of over 47 feet. LEAGUES w ill be classified as A, B. or C, depending on the competition level desired. Also a newly formed fastpitch league will be played on Monday nights. Team applications may be obtained at the Clearfield THE DARTS have others, but these five or six could give the Darts team a good nucleus to build around. Swim Pool, 934 S. 1000 E., Monday through Friday 8 a.m. tion form. Family discount price will be available. The cost will be $10 for one child, $18 for two children, $25 for three children and $30 for four or more children.

To Sponsor Adult Summer Softball 6-- Tax And Accounting Services , ALL IN ALL, its been the kind of senior year that most people just dream about. Sargent has achieved the highest in the classroom and on theathletic field too. He quarterbacked the football team to the region championship and into the state finals. As a basketball star, he led the team in scoring a dozen times and eventually led the club in point production. Now his efforts will turn toward tennis. DOWN THE road a little further and tearing it up at Davis High, has been senior Steve Davis main strengths will KAYSVILLE come from Morgan Nelson in the high jump, I feel whose best jump last year was Morgans chances in the high jump are really solid," said Mike Shaw. ' Sail 644-07- 51 back-to-ba- Shaws Darts ACCOUNTANT L!n, Lqten AS FAR AS time its taken to study, I found myself studying a lot more as a freshman and sophomore. As a senior its been easier for some reason more fun too, because its all coming to a close. Its on to Brigham Young University for Sargent, at least to this point. Later on, as far as occupations go, Sargent has put some thought into being a lawyer like his dad is, mainly beWho knows, an encause its interesting. gineering job might be something to look at too, he said. Cashier Ext. 220 10 South Main CS3 Cce'Ji it off with , AFTER HIGH school, what comes next? Grotzky reports that hes planning on attending Utah State and working toward a degree in mechanical or environmental engineering. The Clearfield senior lends a lot of credit to his parents, Arnold and Jean Grotzky for motivation to succeed with the books. As far as basketball, where Grotzky enjoyed two fine years, Id have to give a lot of the credit to a good bud by the name of Kevin Bitton. He played for Clearfield too and he had a lot to do with me making such a success out of basketball. We grew up in the same neighborhood and he used to work with me, for hour upon hour. T-b- Sharrel Kyle Cummings CERTmtD PU6UC Get a new Fram filter today. IVE ENJOYED math a little more, said Steve, Probably because it was work just like English has been, but theres always a problem youve got to solve. Classroom work has never been discouraging to me, especially if I could work hard at it. Theres always been a competitive spirit to do well, just like the drive to do well on the basket' ball court. ITS JUST A matter of setting your goals and being persistent. Ive known a lot of pretty sharp kids that dropped out of some tough classes just because they started out with a C. Ive had my share of Fs on tests, but you just keep coming back. And even though Ive been able to get good grades, Ive still found the time to have fun with my friends. I love to dance and have fun as much as anyone else, said Grotzky. DUANE ROCK has performed with excell- ence in the 800 meters and when Jared Martin finally returns from an injured leg, hell give the Falcons even more strength. Im really happy the way Jared has worked, said Flint. Others that figure in Clearfields plan include Ray Dixon and Larry Johnson in the hurdles, Glen Coy in the distances, and others in the dashes. CALL.. 'T3fjTm hes topped MIX JOHNS schedule with one year of computer programing besides a little chemistry and AP Biology. PARTS Unless you change the oil filter with an oil change, a filter full of dirty oil stays in your engine. . WHILE A LOT of senior class schedules are filled with pottery, teachers aid and athletic classes, youll get tired by just hearing what guys like John and Steve take. Since the ninth grade, Grotzky has enrolled in English honors 10 and 1 1 and is presently in a college prep English class. For math he was BOY, THAT game with Phil (Vollmer) was tough. It had to be the longest game Ive ever played in, said Smith about the only game he lost in which lasted over 2 hours. The petition was super and challenging. Smith has been playing chess since he was eight years old. He was taught by his older brother, Lyle, who is a past champion of Weber States annual chess tourney. JUST LIKE John at Clearfield, Steves class schedule the past years resembles something like Albert Einstein would have taken. Hes been through the Honors English classes as well as the Honors History classes. From the tenth grade on, hes taken all the advanced math classes just like John did. Hes mixed in a Humanities class with all that. All-Sta- te 4-- A Journal Sports I think the reason Ive done so well in the classroom, stems back to my elementary days when I used to come home with a good score on a test. My mom and dad (Gary and Mary) would do a lot to praise me. It got me pumped up and ready to excell again, said Steve. With all that, Grotzky carries around a very impressive 3.83 GPA, an average which spans every semester since the ninth grade.
