Every indication so far points al w hat could he another successful season for Ward Saw Icy w ho it entering hit fifth year at the head coach. Saw ley hasn't predicted anything hul he saw a world of contrast when Aug. 15th rolled around for to begin. Players were much more experienced and (hey knew what the coaches wanted. The same hard work was taking place, but it's making ihe whole machine run a little smoother with ample amounts of people who know what you want. Iwo-a-da- DAMS OPENS their season on the road at Weber High on Aug. 26. Sawlcy and the crew begin their league schedule on Sept. 16 in another road contest against East High. An interesting tiJbit that probably means little or nothing, depending on w ho you talk to, is the fact the Dart coaching staff is one of the few staffs in their league or staffs that will be faced in games, that has not undergone any change in personnel. non-leag- THE SAME people are back again to assist Sawley and try to bring a fifth consecutive region title to the school. The following is a summary of Davis per OIIJ NMVE AND D!IINSF. I IMS. Ihe interior line both offensively and defen. tuely hate some pretty solid plajers to wok around, last season the Daft Imcmen were noted for their qukknm and this year Sawley says we won't find any difference in their quickness, if anything they'll be even quicker. Ihe weights during the olf season simply put on more lead body mass and not fat. LEADING THE way in the trenches are some very experienced seniors who started nearly every game last year. You might start with Jeff Sampson at 6-- 205 who along with Greg McNahb, 60. 90, were named to the squad. Sampson and McNahb coulJ turn out to be two of the finest tackles in the league as well as the state. ThcyU start both offensively and defensively unless some promising juniors step up to help them out on one end. Sean Kilgrow returns after starting on the line a good portion of 19X2. He injured his knee just prior to playoffs but is ready and healthy at 175. this point. Kilgrow is 6-n KIRT Cottrell looks to start at center. Cot195. trell is The rest of the line will be formed by probably seniors Jimmy Larkins, . 170; Marc 1X0; Rick Francis, 6-170; or Cooper, 150. Robert Reid, 5-- 0, 5-- SAWLEY WAS high on his junior corp of linemen too. He admitted that anyone of them, if they really wanted it, could seriously make push for a starting job. He talked first about Erik Thompson, 175, who Sawley said was probably the strongest on the team and one of the quicker linemen. He'll be hard to keep out of there. Erick has a good shot at starting one way," said Sawlcy. Sawley was also impressed with a new From Florida, Steve Pearson 6-- 215 move-i- n who has learned the system quickly, in addition hes high on JubaJ Frost 185; Rudy "Meacham 6-225; Andy Neff 63, 185; Roger 190 and Scott Ward 0, 150.

Kech, At tight end the Darts will probably start Chris Stevenson who missed a good part of last year because of a concusion. Hes eager and ready to get back into things, said Sawley of Stevenson. Stevenson will also see some time at inside linebacker. Stevenson is and 180. 6-- 0, 5-- stated. Another back Sawley has figured into the 155. He picture is junior David Kinard at saw some playing time last year as a sophomore and didnt let anyone down. Im pleased with whats coming back. said Sawley. LINEBACKERS. Starter Jeff Hammer is back along with Stevenson at inside spots. Both have a good knowledge of the position and will be backed up by several good juniors. Outside linebackers, Smith and Woodward, were starters last year, and bring a wealth of experience. These spots are fairly solid at this point. OTHER linebacker hopefuls are juniors Mike Robinson, 185; Kevin Hutchins, 170; Vaughn Casdorph, 150; Carter 0, QUARTERBACKS. The man Sawley is 165. going with is senior Steve Sargent, Sargent, as just a junior, was the winner of the prestigious Doc Barnes Award last year. Through the summer Sargent has been throwing hard and long, enough now that Sawley is pretty impressed with his accuracy and zip. 6-- 2, 1, 0, 5-- Hatch, 5-- 155 and Todd Marriott, DEFENSIVE SECONDARY.

If James Warden can come back from a knee injury, he may be the Darts candidate as their place kicker. If he does come back from it, hell have to battle Sampson who kicked the Darts last seven PATs last year. THE OUTLOOK. Perhaps the Darts are the odds on favorite to win the region title, but they themselves appear content to take each game one at a time. That was a key in their march last year. Sawlcy has what it takes to keep things under control and all indicators point to another region championship. BACKING SARGENT up are a couple of players that could very well see some action 155 and Greg are juniors Casey Lloyd, 150.

RECEIVERS. Starter Mike Woodward is back. Mike started at a pass catching position until he suffered from appendicitis later in the 160, but the .year. Hes not real big at coaches like his excellent blocking ability that keys the double wing. Woodward may be one of the fastest people on the team, has good hands, and is quick. He also plays outside linebacker on defense. 5-- 8, J t I 0 170. starter here last season and Kinard saw a pretty good amount of playing time later in the season.
