By KEITH DUNCAN Three years ago, you wouldnt have believed it if someone told you that Jeff Pearce and James Suitt would someday be recognized as the cream of the crop among Layton Highs athletes. But both athletes have made believers out of a lot of people with enough merit to earn them honors as the finest athletes during the 1980-8- 1 school year. PEARCE WAS recognized recently as the recipent of the scholar-athlet- e award which denotes the athlete who has excelled in both the classroom and with a ball in his hand. Suitt, after noteable achievement in football, wrestling and track, has . n 'v 7 earned the billing as Layton's outstanding athlete for the past school year. POSSESSED with a competitive spirit that is hard to match, Pearce said three years o of sports action at Layton couldn't have ended better than what took place in Layton baseball. For me personally, the winning we accomplished in baseball helped patch up some of the loosing we had in basketball, said Pearce. It was a spring that was just plain fun and something that we as athletes needed. Pearce placed all the credit on first-yehead prep coach. Brad ar Oj Hawkins. Hawkins sprung from a winning program at BYU as a participant and finally landed a head position after assisting at Bountiful last season. COACH HAW KINS did a lot for a lot of guys this spring, but most of all, he made the sport fun to tplay. Pearce said. Pearce seldom played the year before, but came back this spring to land a spot at BUT IT seems basketball is where Jeff s deepest love is found. I like the fans close and always upon you. There is something about it that is hard to explain, he said. The graduating senior says the past season was dis- appointing in that hed always looked forward to my senior season under Coach Doug Moon. AS A ninth grader I always looked forward to the day of playing for Coach Moon as a senior. I just wish we could have put things together. Pearce admits. Along with the rest of the starting five of Dave Barney, Layne Sackett, Brian Cunningham and Tom Watson, Pearce said his greatest moment in athletics took place last winter in the teams double l, overtime triumph over Clearfield. arch-riva- IN THAT thriller, Pearce scored a team high of 22 points in only the second win of the season to that point for Layton. It was a super feeling to beat Clearfield, something that will be remembered for a long time." he said. Besides Doug Moon and Brad Hawkins, another person that figured in Jeffs athletic success was his own father, Dewey. From little league sports to varsity basketball. Mr. Pearce always was there according to Jeff. PEARCE STOOD out among Laytons athletes with a 3.3gpa. Good grades stemmed from not only required classes but from business and Rod, who also played basketball for Layton. He plans on working or possibly a quarter of school before planning to serve a mission for his church. THERE WAS little question that Suitt, all 4 and 260 pounds of him, would be named the outstanding athlete at Layton after the track season. Three years ago, he was a I in 100 choices. Its surprising what consistency gets you. A lot of things have happened to me when at first I gave little thought to any of it taking place, said Suitt. 6-- DURING HIS three colorful years at Layton, Coach Gary Hansen used Suitt plenty on the gridiron, Mike Hansen saw 5 record posted in the a 56-1- wrestling books and Russ Jones will erase the old shot put record and replace it with a performance by Suitt. Though, headed to Snow College on a football scholarship, Suitt says his primary goal is to play for a major colschools lege.

The state championship he claimed a few months back in Salt Lake City, capped off a perfect rags to riches wrestling career. two-ye- FOR SUITT, w ho was born in Birmingham. Ala., athletics have always been part of his life in one way or another. Where Suitt was once "just big, its strength that captures the view now. He holds Laytons school record for lifting in the bench press, some 4l5pounds. He squats 500 and ing back to win the rest of our games, I felt confident the kids 5 I THOUGHT we were mentally prepared," said Bitner, After losing to American Fork in the first game and com- - deadlifts 595 pounds. Just a few minutes of witnessing his workouts in the Layton gym makes a believer out of anyone. SUITT POLISHED off a memorable senior year by setting a school record in the shot put and finishing second in region and state in the event.

Besides being a tough football player, 1 like to watch him dance and love to eat his cooking, JIM ADMITTED that once it was all "those medals hanging from kids letterman jackets" that got him excited about wrestling. Now, after hun- dreds of them hanging from the letter "L" on his jacket, they of partiare a mere cipation in Layton's athletics.
