They lived up to that title (ast week with their first ever state championship. Coach Tom Perkins was pleased with the effort during the entire season.

Sure Brian was super but our entire team played extremely well" noted a very happy Mike Gardner. "Everything we told the kids they had to do in order to win, they did. It was just a super effort. Judge tried some different things in the second half but when Taylor needed help scoring he had plenty of it. Brent Hatch started to heat up from the outside and he scored 14 SALT LAKE CITY No one really knew what to expect when the Davis club went up against Judge in the opening round game of the state 3A tournament. Afterall the Bulldogs were the defending state champions. FEW EXPECTED the Judge team to get back into the tournament since all their players graduated. But here they were, and to top it off they had won their region while the Darts placed third. The two clubs met in preseason with the Darts winning easily by 20 points. Most agreed that it wouldnt be that easy for the Darts this time around. But it was. the state championship game at West High. them coming in the first half. Most clubs the Darts have faced play a zone and give Taylor a lot of attention but the Judge club came out in a man for man and Taylor ate them alive. He scored from any- where and everywhere. He NOW THE DARTS face West in the quarterfinals. Both have the same type of clubs, small and scrappy who go after it at both ends of the floor. Judging by their showings in the first game the Darts would rate a favorite but dont underestimate the Panthers. would hit from the outside one trip down, then drive to the bucket another time. ONE WOULD get the impression he hogged the ball but he really didnt as all his points came out of the offense the By DAVE WIGHAM SALT LAKE CITY When Davis and Dixie met on the final day of the state 3A tournament everyone was looking for a shootout between Brian Taylor and Kelly Graves. TAYLOR WAS leading the Darts, and the tournament, in scoring with Graves right behind him while playing for Dixie. These two knew each other in junior high as Graves was in Kaysville before moving to St. George. Many times though those anticipated shootouts never happen but this time it did. These two went head to head with Graves winning the individual battle in leading the Flyers to a 8 win over the local boys. against the West club, but they bounced back and knocked off Viewmont to get the shot at Dixie. SENIORS LIKE Brent Hatch, David Bock, Brian Caldwell, Lance Hill, Lynn Lloyd and Mike McGill will be missed. These guys were the heart and soul of the team, they made it click. It will be a few years before the Davis people will see a group of players like this. They have some talent returning especially in the form of a junior Brian Taylor who finished the four game tournament with 108 points. Hes already proven that hes one of the best around and the thought of him being back next year, sends fears through opposing coaches. 72-6- BEFORE IT was over though the Dixie scoring ace had 33 points while Taylor countered with 32 of his own. SO IT WAS a good year for Mike Gardner, his staff and players. They are always near the top when the season is over. 7-- 2, AYSO will hold several coaches clinics to inform the coaches of the rules and reg- ulations, and the different aspects of the game of soccer. 7-- 10-1- 2, COACHING SLOTS open DAVIS Tmur.ips .

Some soccer knowledge is required, however, although they didnt score 72-5- THE Cottonwood team kept close to the Lancers during the first half only to oring these ladies with a team picture and big story on their entire year. Soccer Coaches Needed Taylor. Lynn Lloyd was very instrumental in this win as he hit a couple of key buckets and DAVIS PLAYED great defense with thoir zone which enabled the Judge club to get just one shot about every time down the floor. The rebounding edge isnt known but it would be safe to say the Darts probably doubled the Bulldogs in rebounding. For much of the second half the Darts held a 20 point cushion which enabled their coaches to relax and get some of the reserves in the contest. Everyone was pulling for each other in this win. The players knew Taylor was hot and got him the ball to which he responded. As mentioned he led the scoring column with 36 followed by 14 by Hatch. NEXT WEEK the paper will feature an article hon- THE champion Lancers were led in scoring by Cor-ry- n Weise, April Hatch and Pebbles Hare. second half points to take some attention away from THE DARTS came out of the blocks in a hurry and never looked back as they handed the defending champions a 8 setback. Before the crowds had even found their seats the Darts had built up a 14-- 4 lead and the Bulldogs never got back into the game from then on. Junior Brian Taylor was no- see the talented Lancers pull away slowly but surely in the third period. This was a team effort throughout the entire season and the Lady Lancers should be congratulated for their season. they cant buy a basket to save their lives. IF QNE team is cold then its understandable but a few fans in the stands were starting to think someone had doctored both ends of the floor to stop a basketball from going in. Neither Davis nor West could hit anything during this contest and one had to wonder if indeed there was some magical force knocking the ball off the rim each time. of 40 attempts from the field while the Panthers werent much better hitting 14 of their 44 attempts. As Wests Coach For the game Davis hit 1 1 People now entering the Utah Special Events Center were asking which one of the teams was slowing the ball down. Which was in the four corners trying to get the ojher out of the zone. Truth was no team was stalling, neither team could hit from the field. It wasnt a matter of neither trying, most of the shots were' good clean shots that just wouldn't drop in. IN THEIR first game everything the Darts threw toward the basket went in, this time it was the exact opposite. Both clubs had the chance to bury the other early in this battle but neither one could. At the start of the second half most fans felt the clubs would warm up a little and start putting in the points. Truth was though the same baskets were at each end not allowing anything to go through them. , THE GAME started out in high school fashion with both The two sides entered the final period deadlocked at Things then started to hap- half-tim- 11-- ten seven openings: boys ages 13- 14, four openings: boys ten openings, and boys fifteen openings. 4 ages ANYONE WHO would like' to volunteer for a coaching ages-15-1- 17-1- 8, position or assistance coaching position call Barbara Yard, 825-047- 19-1- pen because they realized someone had to win this thing. It seemed like no one wanted to take command but when one team scored the other would counter. If one team missed the other missed also. They just tried to stay with each other. WITH ABOUT two minutes to go in the battle, the Panthers started to go to the foul line and convert. With West ahead by two the Darts were forced to foul and these same Panthers that couldnt hit anything suddenly found the hot hand from the charity stripe. West would convert two foul shots, Davis would lose the ball either by a turnover or missed shot and then would have to foul. JUNIOR BRIAN Taylor, who had 36 points in the opening round win, which is more' than the entire team had in this battle, lead all scorers with 14 points and was the only Dart with double figures. The loss put the Darts up against Viewmont who lost a heartbreaker to Mountain View.

Dixie held a slim one point lead after the first period but going into the lockers at halftime, it was all even. Dixie again held another two point advantage after three periods and hung on to it to take the slim win.The win placed Dixie fifth and Davis seventh in the state. Some Davis folks were wondering out loud how a team of the Darts could be so cold one game and then shoot well in another. Against West a couple of nights earlier the Darts couldnt find the basket and then against the Flyers they enjoyed a good shooting night. 1 1 COACH JOHN Flint expects the closest race in seven years among Region One competitors.
