By KEITH DUNCAN Troy Meachams defense coach at Davis High says there is probably just one word to describe him. It's intense. Very intense, says Jim Dickson. time. THERE IS a feeling of humility on this team, like were all one big family. It's like Spencer (DeGraw) is your best friend in the lockerroom TROY IS pretty much a fun loving type of guy but when it comes to putting on the helmet, its serious business. Its a unique quality that you don't find everywhere, said Dickson. It's been Meacham, who this week was tabbed as the Most Valuable Player on the first annual County defensive team, that has played the most number of plays in Davis drive to a cochampionship in Region Four. I just love it, said Meacham. His feelings project the view that the players on this 81 team are very close while on the field. Everyone is a leader in someway. Its like a long chain with a bunch of links. Against Viewmont this year Meacham ran for 123 yards and scored one touchdown after breaking three strong tackles. 1 said to myself before that play that 1 was going to do it, Meacham said. DICKSON SAYS Meacham can take discipline. He doesnt complain, but just battles back with his mouth shut, commented Dickson. He perhaps felt the need to discipline himself in this his final year as a Dart. I remember a few years back how I used to look up to the seniors. It worries me that some of the younger guys may be watching me. Youve got to always be on the right track, he said. HIS GOAL is to average at least eight yards per carry and feels if he continues to get the blocking from Kirk Storey and others, he just might do it. Fumbles were his problem earlier but he claims it was all WHETHER running the better. UP UNTIL the Bountiful game 1 wasn't happy with my offensive game. It was on defense where I felt the best, said Meacham. It was against the Scots that Meacham led a strong first half showing and just being everywhere the ball was according to Ward Sawley, his head coach. I started feeling better about going both ways. Now I cant stand to be on the sidelines and doing nothing, I go crazy, he said. squad has continually got better. Everyone was on the edge OGDEN Troy Meacham has been a bread and butter player for the Davis Darts all year. His effort on defense and offense is one reason w hy the Darts are going for a state championship. ber State Wildcat football team, will be in the lineup again this Saturday as the Cats host Northern Arizona in the final home conference game of the year. FRODSHAM ONCE was a starter and standout in Davis High football and is a junior at the Ogden school. He now has a younger brother, Bruce Frodsham playing for the coregion champion Darts. Bret joined the Cats last August after returning from an LDS mission. He spent the first part of the season playing behind Tom Brothers but after an injury took Brothers out, Frodsham took over the starting role and ever since the coaching staff at Weber has been impressed. THE 63 234 pounder played one season at Dixie College. He says the winter weight training program at Weber State is one big reason for his success. Frodsham will also look for offensive ability isnt the kind that will hurt you by running away from you. He makes his presence known by hitting you. Meacham feels much the same.

I would really like to go to Utah State. It would be great, he says. But he admits hell play junior college if that is what is left. Meacham is also a wrestler. He tried basketball and was too short. He never really has liked baseball and when it come to track he says he is too slow for the sprints and not enough for the distance races. d i HELL TRY to pin down the 155 pound position this year, up from the 145 slot he has wrestled in for two years. ; one pass and McNeil had only two.

The senior linebacker from Ogden had eight unassisted stops, three of them tackles behind the line of scrimmage for a minus 20 yards. He forced one fumble and recovered another. He now has 19 total tackles for an average of 17.0 stops per 28. Secondly has been a rash of injuries to key personnel. THE BOISE game: Three crucial interceptions in the final five minutes of the first half spelled the Wildcats doom as the Broncos turned them into 17 quick points. Both teams scored three touchdowns, but four field goals by BSUs Ken-ric- k Camerud was the deciding factor. 1 game.

But somehow I stuck it out and did the best job I could. From that point I just kept getting better and better. He credits much of that confidence source to his own father, Walt. Hed always be the first one on the field after one of my little league games and afterwards would always talk to me about the game, said Meacham. THE BEARDED prep who played more defense than offense his junior season, said it was difficult in the beginning playing both ways. He had no idea how he got his body to move after a game. Sometimes mentally I felt like a punching bag. thing for opposing offenses is that he never puts them back together again. Former Dart, Frodsham, Starts At Weber State EVEN ON the field Troys attitude about the game might be different than what most would expect. Im calm on the field. My mom says she has seen others kick me but I dont get upset or made. Im just always rolling with the tide going from play to play, he said. Sawley and his staff have been impressed from the beginning of Meachams ability to step into tight situations and come out a winner. 36-3- 0 mental, not physical.
