ALSO TRY to forget that this team from Sandgspells out the phrase Take State with their Alpha Bits before munching anything away. Forget that this team lost to Brighton for their region title and wants nothing more than "gold ole sweet revenge. THIRD. J.C. VonCollin likes to think his Falcons have the same kind of spirit they had as sophomores w hen J.C. and his teammates won their last seven games of the season and finished with the best record among Region One schools. Weve got the spirit of things." said Von Collin. Perhaps the list could go on, but Clearfield stands a big chance of pulling this one off. BUT DO take notice that this superb team from the south will host Clearfield High this Friday afternoon at 3: IS p.m. to decide who will advance into the quarterfinals of the 1982 state playoffs. While enough is being said about the awesomeness of the Hawks, remember that it takes two to play a football game and the favorite doesnt always win. ALTA IS in a reverse role of w hat they were a year ago. They had to travel to Sky View as the third place team from their region to play a Bobcat team that had lost only one game all year. As Darren Long (Alta's fine flanker and free safety) put it, We made up our minds we werent traveling to Sky View for nothing and we went out and beat em." IF YOU HAD taken a trip through the halls of Clearfield High last Tuesday morning, you would have thought the Falcons were the favorite, Its plain to se that Clearfield has respect for Alta, but they appear right now as if they plan to give the Hawks the game of their lives. Heres a few points to consider! FIRST, IS, the Falcons have now won three games in a row and confidence is something definitely on their side. Theyve won a pair of lopsided victories, 27-1- 4 and 28-- but theyve also won a very, very close one, 0 in overtime. Second. The seniors this year remember what its like to upset people in the first round of the playoffs. As sophomores they witnessed the varsity beat Brighton at Brighton and advat the U. of U. ance into play on the astro-tur- f THAT WIN advanced the Hawks into the quarterfinals against Davis w ho Alta just hapAlta's pened to clobber the next week, season came to close however, w hen Roy beat 0 as the Royals them in the semi-finawent on to claim the state championship. This year Clearfield is the third place team from Region One and they must travel all the way to Sandy to meet an Alta team that has lost only one game all year long. Can Clearfield pull off an upset like Alta did a year ago? 4-- A 0, drives and hold their own against a stiff Hawk defense. John Flint, who coaches the offensive tine people, said specifically it boiled down to the job the offensive line could do. though they didn't play, they remember it very well. It gives them something to be a 'possibility thinker. FLINT ALSO coaches the defensive line and said Tuesday that Clearfield would have to put a pass rush on Alta's superb quarterback, Todd Hanley who has broken just about every offensive record Alta has. Hanley has been a three-yea- r starter for the Hawks. Brent Hancock heads up the 4 Falcons and he claims mentally his team is getting better every week. Weve got to be mentally prepared to meet Alta, they'll be the biggest team weve faced this year and the team with the most number of skilled people," he said. 5-- AND ALTA is big. One lineman is 6--7 Brent Witchman. All of the upfront peo- 185-pou- ple average 180 or better. The Hawks have three excellent linebackers in Dave Stoddard, Shane Haws and Mark Eisenhiser. All of them run the 40 in 4.7 or less. Doug Berry is the head coach of the Alta team whose only loss of the season came from Brighton, a 4 loss that cost them the region title. Last week the Hawks had a big scare though as Hillcrest lasted three overtimes before Alta snuffed them out. The Huskies were leading 24-- 3 at halftime. 20-1- 41-1- 4. 14-1- ls ONE OF Altas weapons will be their speciality teams which include their featured kicker, senior Dean Gamer. Hes been kicking for four years now but nothing has compared to what hes done this year. The senior has booted eight field goals including a 55 yarder. His longest shot in practice was a 67 yarder. I just dont think weve got any major weakness, said Altas Long, The near loss to Hillcrest kinda woke us up and I think were ready for the playoffs. 7-- CLEARFIELD appears healthy and rearing to go. No major injuries are nagging them and the two practices theyve had this week have been brilliant. The Clearfield coaches believe the key to the game is whether the Falcon offense can sustain THEN IT was Laytons turn! First was Robert Warnke who ran into a brickwail of Clearfield players, guys like J.C. VonCollin, Ron Swallow and Tom Butler. The next play was stopped dead in its tracks too as Clearfields Dean Garrett rose up snuff out the g tackle. run with a LAYTON went to the air in their final two attempts as Blair and Kent Nye prevented the h first pass from scoring. The final head Jamie of the aerial an was over attempt Vigil which quarterback Brad Merrill wished he could have back today. Taylor commented a few minutes after the game, Our 40 sw eep was working pretty good all night. Coach (Brent) Hancock called the right one there," referring of course to Foul-geend sweep that took it down to the two yard line. hard-hittin- last-ditc- rs LIKEWISE three good Lancer drives were shutdown with interceptions by VonCollin. Bubba Conley and Darren Parry. "There were some mistakes made." said Clearfield's quarterback, Mark Wilson. "But they were either too far away for the other team to capitalize on them or another mistake by the team who just got the ball, gave it right back. THE GAME wasnt without some beautiful plays either. Merrill hit Rich Gallegoes on a pass that the receiver caught over his shoulders on a dead stride. Hal Lewis, a Falcon junior, hit Scott Tremea on a halfback pass that took Clearfield to the point w here Dixon was to later try the field goal that could have won it for Clearfield. fcec' GARRETT, obviously enthused about the victory, stated, Tonight was the greatest night of my life. I cant say how proud I am of this team. I just knew that if I did my job, and everybody else did theirs, wed come out on top. Scott Tremea, who caught some key passes in the game, commented also, This is the greatest feeling you can experience. Keith C.
