Show I' I WEEKLY REFLEX-DA- velaMiir NEWS JOURNAL, NORTH DAVIS LEADER, JANUARY 7, 1982 VIS K. Morrell Talks About Holiday and BYU Football Team 'owl, pus last year I saw Jim McMahon who showed me his rings. I told myself right then and there I wanted four of those. By DAVE WIGHAM BOUNTIFUL-Oned- own and three to go. RIGHT NOW thats what Kyle Morrell of Brigham Young football team is thinking. One of the reasons that Kyle enrolled at the Y was to win a WAC championship ring. During my visit to the cam KYLE WAS one of only two freshman to see a lot of varsity playing time this past season for the championship Cougar team. Wide receiver Glenn Koslowski was the other. At the start of the year the Districts Policy In Question? word was to bring Kyle along Speaking of McMahon, just how good did Kyle think he was? Hes the best. As defensive backs were taught to disguise our coverages. Against other quarterbacks we could confuse them, but McMahon has a great talent for picking up the coverages no matter what we tried. The coach, Dick slowly. Felt, didnt want to throw me in right away in case I lost my admitted Kyle. confidence, Soon, though, the need arose for another defensive back and the coaches turned to Kyle for help. FOR ANY freshman the jump from high school ball to the college game is a big step and Kyle was no exception. It was a huge jump, bigger than I thought it would be. Its the speed thing, everything happens so fast on the college level. In high school a defensive back could cheat a little but in college if you give the receiver an inch the quarterbacks will get them the foot- WHO ARE the people to watch for next season? There are some great people in the wings who will become household names next year. We have a receiver named Adam Hazeberry who can fly and wholl be great. Louis Wong is a huge lineman who wants to be the strongest player on the team and hell do it. We have others, but those two standout. he responded. One of the toughest games for Kyle this past year was ball. By DAVE WIGHAM Kyle saw quite a lot of playing time on the varsity team. On the outside it appears the Davis School District has set up a policy that discriminates against athletic teams. He was used mainly as a fifth defensive back on certain passing plays. He earned his letter as a first year man, a fete hes proud of. I always thought I could pay but just didnt know if Id get the chance, he confessed. THOSE PEOPLE in Farmington do have a reason for their thinking. Several parents have called me to see if I could dig up some information in regards to the policy the district has established concerning out of state travel. As it stands now no athletic team can travel outside of Utah. Yet by the same token the district allows bands, debate teams and drill teams to go outside Utah for their competition. AFTER TALKING to some of the district people and a member of the school board, I have come up with about three reasons for their thinking. Up front the district reports that the principals of the high schools were in favor of this policy of not letting athletic teams travel outside the state. So basically it was an administrative decision and the district people agreed with it. THE BIGGEST reason, or at least the first one given each time, is that there is enough competition in the state for athletic teams. First, they have duel d events with one school going with another. Then on to the regional battle and finally the state event. I can see their thinking here. Sure if Viewmont wanted to they could schedule enough people in state to take care of their needs. The problem, is to my way of thinking, so could the Vike debate team. Every other high school in the state has a debate team just like they have a basketball team. Debate has duel meets with each other, they also have a region and state affair. head-to-hea- ... ,, ielia For Friday ! THEN THE policy making people point to the fact that if you let one sports related team travel then the others will all want to go. True, if football gets to go to Idaho to play then the baseball team will want to go to Arizona. However, that same baseball team will want to go if you let the drill team or band go to Colorado. THE THINKING here is a little weak to me. They say if you let one go the others will want to. Thats just whats happening now. Sports cant see why if they cant go the bands get to. Im not down on bands, debate or drill teams. I like them all All Im saying to make the policy for everyone. JIM HILL, the man in charge of athletics for the district, noted these two reasons. The district just feels they can get as much competition without going out of state and save on the travel and cost. Now do the try and convice me the band or debate cant same. Bonnie Durrance, the director of public relations for the district, offered these words. The district feels the athletes get enough competition in state. There are so many sporting events going on that if you let everyone go the cost for those teams would be enormous. . Continued on next page and running. Then comes spring ball and the year starts all over again. At the conclussion of each Kyle, Kevin Walker, John Mannion and Tom Holmoe. season, head coach LaVell Edwards has a personal interview with each player. He has a file on every player and talks to you about the next year. He told me I needed to work on coming up hard out of my back peddle. It was a great interview because hes always positive with us, he admitted. There are four spots open and these four could very well be the starters. THE COUGARS have recently returned from their Holiday Bowl appearance, a week that Kyle wont soon forget. They treated us like royalty. Every day we had some luncheon we had to attend and then they fed us great food all week. Each day we also had to visit the various spots in the area like the ships in the dock. When it was all over they had given us all some great watches, shirts, sweaters, mugs and glasses all with the Bowl emblem on them. We made quite a haul." Kyle did admit the players were given a lot of free time,, which he spent with some of the older veterans of the club. We would eat breakfast together, then practice a couple of hours, eat lunch and then we were on our own for a while. he said. He went on to add that some of the players made the annual trip into Mexico but that he usually went with Kyle Whittingham, John Adams and Gym Kimball to the beach. KYLE IS looking forward to spring ball and a shot at a starting position. Hes anxious to get into the weight room to pick up some additional ; poundage. I'm tired of being the smallest guy on the field," he laughed. clash, the Braves are the favorite in this one. They are coming off an impressive while the Leopards are down from a In the Bountiful-Eas- t THE LEOPARDS lost a lot of folks to graduation from their state title team of a year ago but they have improved with each practice game. Their last outing was a convincing 19 points win over a good Cottonwood club. Face facts though the East team doesnt have the talent of a Danny Bell or Richie Weight. Bountiful has all the tools to win this battle but theyll have to play good ball to do it. pre-seas- year ago. WOODS CROSS and Highland are two great basketball schools but Highland appears to have the horses to go all the way this year. Coach Ted Smith this of Roy says the Rams are the team to beat in to. and to have Ill agree year Its time for Davis to get serious about their basketball play and come Friday night with Brian Taylor and Co., they will do just that. Look for the Darts to get better as Region Four play progresses, starting of course with a win over Viewmont. 4-- A LAYTON HAD a four game winning streak snapped by Kearns but with Keith Williams getting more familiar with his teammates, the Lancers will open their Region One schedule with a victory over the Bobcats. It wont be easy battling away in Smith-fielbut Coach Doug Moons boys have what it takes;1 Clearfield will get back on the winning track against Weber, but it wont be easy. They have lost three straight games and despite being a strong team in the early portion of the season, they have never had an easy time with the Warriors in Pleasant View. d, By DAVE WIGHAM Viewmont at Davis. This could prove to be the best matchup of the night. Viewmont definitely has the height advantage over the Darts with John White (68) and Scott Mabey (68). Davis has Brian Taylor in their colors for this battle and hes been killing people in the preseason wars. Its no secret to beat Davis you have to stop Taylor but many have tried and been unable to do so. The Vikes have struggled at the guard line this season mainly due to inexperience. IF THE Viking guards can get the ball inside then the visitors have a chance. Mike Gardner is a good coach and hell find a way to take away that inside game and the Darts will ride the left hand of Taylor for the win. Bountiful at East: Go by preseason records and the Braves look like a cakewalk in their opener but WOODS CROSS at Highland: What a way to have to start off league play to battle the Rams on their own floor. Keep in mind though, the Cats beat Highland there a year ago. The Rams have a great tandem in Jon Judkins and Robert Maxwell, a couple of players who have been around for three years. Many feel this is the year of the Rams. - THE KEY to this battle is at the guardline where rest will be tested with Cat guards can handle the the patented Ram press. If ball the and inside, then Richard the pressure get Bruce Bishop can and Johnson, Gregg Housekeeper hurt the Rams. Highland is always tough early in the season, favor the Rams in this one. Layton at Sky View. This could be a very interesting matchup. The Bobcats are small and quick, but so are the Lancers. Keith Williams is the standout here as Sky View has no one to stop the fast emerging star. Blair Kent, Greg Gurr and the CLYDE NELSON is the first year head man of the Bobcats and seasoned Doug Moon could have a few tricks in store for the rookie. Its tough to beat the Sky View bunch up in their territory so look for Williams to have a good game but the Bob cats will get the home cooking for the win. Clearfield at Weber. Look out world the Falcons are fighting mad. They didnt enjoy losing their last game to West a week ago and are out to avenge it. WEBER HAS been an up and down club this season already mainly due to inexperience. If you go by common opponents both have played Bountiful. Clearfield beat the Braves in the first game of the year while Weber was ambushed by the Bountiful side. DURING THE season Kyle actually on'y played in one and a half games on the junior varsity team. That was enough time for him to come up with three interceptions. He did record one interception with the varsity team but the play was nullified so hes still looking for his first for the varsity side. Now that this year is over, all eyes are focussed on next season. The big questions being asked about the BYU team next year, especially, with the graduation of McMahon. Kyle answered some of those questions: OUR DEFENSE will be the strength I think, because we only lose three guys from this year. Jim will be tough to replace, but the team has a lot of confidence in Steve Young and Kimball. I honestly feel we can win it again and get back to another bowl game. against rising fuel costs.
