Show WEEKLY REFLEX-DA- VIS NEWS JOURNAL, NORTH DAVIS LEADER, FEBRUARY 11, 1982 Cabrey Eyes Championship Its Been Terrific By Covering Local Wrestling; Bunch Of Class People By KEITH DUNCAN Its been guys like Steve Ulibarri and Doug Kopecky, both of Clearfield; Shawn Robinson, Bruce Frodsham, Robert Steed and Cary Blood, all of Davis; and Robbie Zamora and Mike Cabrey, both of Layton, that have made me and lots of others like me, pure wrestling fanatics. I suppose I could name every member on each of the three schools, they have all done well and helped to promote the sport of wrestling, but Im excited about the fact that I had a chance to get to know all of you. KEITH easy for Cabrey. First off There arent many things in this big, bad world that can thwart Mike LAYTON Cabreys trail to wrestling greatness. The road to success has its rocks and rills to consider but nothing too tough for the seasoned grappler. THIS WEEK Mike and nine of his other teammates entered state tournathe coveted4-ment at the U. of U. where the race for the medal is on, A year ago Cabrey experienced one of the greatest thrills in his wrestling career as he beat an opponent who had beaten before to advance into the finals of the 132 lbs. class. A I JUST wish things could have ended as happy as they ended after that semifinal match. I got five quick points scored on me and from there it was a couple of reversals we traded, said Cabrey of last years state championship match. Stone of Weber in the championship round of Region One (the second time this year he has lost to Stone), Cabrey plans on letting it all lose durthree-da- y tournaing the ment. "Each year Ive made plans to do a little better than the year before. This year Ive got to take state," he said. spring, began his wrestling career in the seventh grade as a timid lad in the intramurel he wrestles in a rough and tun-bl-e weight class (138) which he feels is one of the most competitive in the state. Consider also that he was at 145 lbs. and dropped some weight to battle at 138 lbs. Another is the fact he busted his nose in the Box ' Elder Tournament and has been forced to wear a face mask that always takes some getting use to. After all of these setbacks and challenges, Cabreys first remarks are, Thats just the way things are. Ill just have to anyway. THE DROP to 138 from 145 came as a result of his discussion with Coach Mike Hansen. He felt it would be better if I dropped down because of my body fat condition and it would give me an edge of wrestling much faster," said Cabrey. "Mikes biggest asset is that he pushes himself. He runs weights hard without anyone urging him on, said Hansen. "He is the kind of kid that you love to have on a team, the coach added. 4-- A THE SUCCESSFUL Layton coach has seen Cabreys progress as well as anyone has. He states he hasnt seen very many kids come through his program. As eighth grade rolled into the picture, Cabrey tried out for the schools team and made the JV squad. Then as a ninth grader hie emerged into the varsity program where his success was better than average. It was about that time that I felt I wasnt really going where significant in wrestling and I almost dropped away. But the following year at Layton High I tried out for the team and in doing so made a goal to make the vqrsity team, said Cabrey. get used to it and do it hard and has pushed the HE DID make the school's top squad and wrestled there until right before region where he was beaten out for his spot in a challenge match. Cabrey looks to Hansen all the time, and especially on the mat. "He has supported me all the way and is the guy that I turn to for help," said Cabrey. MIKE CABREY program and improve as much as Cabrey has. "Mike has just as good a chance of winning the state title as anyone has. In moving him to 138 lbs. we felt his chances might be better, but as far as that goes Mike is going to be competitive wherever we put him, said Hansen. . pushing his opponent for the remainder of the match has earned him plenty of victories in three years. ' But the best victory of all could come Saturday night at 7 p.m. at the U. of U. in the 1381bs. division. ; I : ; : j i: ONE OF their thoughts was the possibility of de- -, signing a s word and a battle shield that could sit itself in the winning schools trophy case, once that win-;- f ning school had dominated in the annual dual match between the schools. Each time the winning school came out a victor, then the sword could be painted with either blue for Layton or green for Clearfield. The winner would also have its name printed on the battle plate . Vie w- mont and Bountiful; Hillcrest and Brighton, do much of the same thing. - t yr: ; ; i I' :i : : : j i ; ' SOMETHING LIKE that has got to promote wrestling between our schools, said Tennis, "We could probably come close to packing the gym. The idea is going to get kicked around some more and could very well become a reality in the next few weeks. ONE GROUP that ought to receive a little more attention, and will right now, are the sophomore wrestlers at these three schools. Davis crew of sophs were good enough to take the sophomore region title in Region Four, just as Laytons crew did in Region One. OUR CREW of sophomores worked hard and deserved everything they got, said Jim Dickson of Davis who is assisted by Bruce Bitner and Frank Thompson. At Layton, Hansen described his sophomore bunch as a group "without really great talent, but a group of kids that used unity to win quite a bit. THEY WERE all a hard working bunch of guys who wrestled effectively with the junior varsity all year, said Hansen. Hansen is sure that with some freestyle experience between now and next winter, his group could very well be a contender for a region title. We might be able to challenge some people with juniors and sophomores, he said. ; : : : ; ' ' Mon, thru 10 , -- - SEAF0QD3Wi? 1325 S. SCO West Bountiful - Phone 235-233- 1 Recreation Committee.

For the most part, has been a parade of seniors who have led the way in the early going. HIS STYLE of getting thq I THINK its the more qualified coaches who . have had something to do with it, said Hansen. It used to be that just anybody was put in charge. But today the schools are seeking coaches who have had some experience in college . Even the junior highs are getting more serious about staffing quality coaches. he added. Wrestling competition between Hansens Layton crew and Scott Tennis Falcon group, recently had both coaches thinking together about good ideas for the future. ; - ClearCLEARFIELD fields Track Club continues first take down and then THE ABOVE is how I would begin my open letter to all the grapplers from Clearfield, Davis and Layton, who helped to make the past season the success it was. Most would have to agree it was an exciting venture for each of the three high schools. Mike Hansen, the veteran Lancer coach, says the future of wrestling looks bright in Utahs prep ranks. It isnt like neighboring Idahos, but none the less, its on an upsurge and not backsliding in the least.
