Weve been working on our pressure By KEITH DUNCAN Journal Sports night consistently be ecn iht season. reopl ull have to put together some kinJ of supernatural offense to break it dovsn. THE 52-5victory over Ogden High last week was sweet in more ways than one. Besides being the first victory of the brand new season, it was also the first time in four tries that this group of Falcons had brought that group of Tigers, down in defeat. During the past summer, including one game in Price, the Tigers (with the same personnel that invaded Clearfield last Friday) had beaten the same team of falcons three times. IF THERE was anything to compliment, it was the fact these kids believed they could beat Ogden after getting whipped three previous times. We deserved to win it this lime. Of course our defense was the difference. We just baffled them." commented fields Craig THOUGH the Tigers trounced the Falcons in rebounding. Gearfields fiery and impressive full court press caused constant turnovers THIS WEEK Clearfield trav cled to Logan on Tuesday and were to play Ben Lomond on Friday night in Ogden. Hansen used a lot of players to run the full court press, which through the first three periods completely destroyed Ogden. In fact, midway through the second quarter, all nine of the main varsity players had seen action. MARK WILSON, the impressive small guard for Clearfield, used his speed and crisp outside shooting touch to spark the Falcons through the first half. After netting Clearfields first two buckets, Wilson went on to score 14 points before the half ended. He ended the game with 21 points, a career high for him. The full court press got Ogden no w here and Clearfield went into halftime with a 9 lead. With Mike Anderson and John Gretzky playing against players as big or bigger than they, they continually held their own.
