Meanwhile, Layton, Roy and Woods Cross fell to defeat and will be forced to play catchup in the league races in Regions 1 and 4. way-Frida- ht Clearfield 76, Roy 67 The Falcons played host to the always competitive defending Region champion Royals Friday and Clearfield found a fourth 1 lead suddenly, quarter all but gone with three minutes remaining. Enter Mike Call. The Falcon guard hit both ends of three foul situations, and that, along with an effective spread offense, helped the Falcons ease back into the lead and coast to victory. But Call was by no means the only Falcon intrumental in the nine-poi- nt one-and-o- win. Eric Wests team highs of 20 points and 13 rebounds, along with Greg Boykins 13 points and 10 rebounds plus some clutch buckets by Hicks, were all necessary for Clearfield to put away the Royals. This was really a team win, coach Craig Hansen said. We got good games from a lot of people and got an important league win against a quality opponent. The fact that we played well and beat a good team should also help our confidence, Hansen said. A key part of the Falcons win was the big edge they commanded over the Royals in rebounding. Clearfield outboarded Roy 44-2- 6 and was probably, as much as anything, the reason the Falcons won, Hansen said. Roy was led by its one-tw- o , Wildcats began a run of their own on Bountiful, closing the 9 score to at halftime.

Jackrabbits Make Cook, Bailey Vie For U.S. Crowns Fit Hunting , Eating GARY HATCH Review Sports Editor It has been about five years since the final national appearance of the only athlete from Bountifuls Utah Figure Skating Club ever to qualify for the national figure skating championships. This year two Utah Club skat- ers have qualified for the national championships to be held in Kansas City, Mo. during the last week of January. Holly Cook, a Bountiful resident with eight years of competetive skating under her belt, has qualified in the Junior Ladies division, which is just one step away from the class in which Olympians compete. Kenna Bailey, from Centerville, is also 14 and has been competing for seven years. She will be skating in the Novice Ladies divitwo levels under Olympic sion caliber competition. Each girl is one of 12 skaters scheduled to be in each event. Both girls are very capable, said coach Kris Sherard. How well they do at nationals will depend a lot on how they feel that day. Its whoever makes the least mistakes that wins," Ms. Sherard said. Both girls have skated well in the many events throughout the entire year, according to Ms. Sherard. and they are well prepared for the national championship meet. As can be expected, however. Skating Exhibition Set Thursday The Utah Figure Skating Club is sponsoring a skating exhibition featuring Holly Cook and Kenna soon to travel to the Bailey national figure skating championships in Kansas City, Mo. along with several other skaters Thursday at 6:30 p.m. The purpose of the exhibition is to raise money for the travel and lodging expenses of Miss Cook, Miss Bailey and coach Kris Sherard as they travel back to the national meet. skating for the national title will place some added pressure on the girls. Review Correspondent This will be new for them because neither has been back to Kansas City to skate before, and they havent skated in that big an arena, Ms. Sherard said. The two girls have been working an average of five hours per day developing their skating abilities. Although most of the girls time is spent practicing on the ice, they have also been using aerobic dancing with some jazz and ballet movements and even a few psychology courses to help them im- prove use disease to thin out crowded populations, but a jackrabbit is Every winter many sportsmen no more dangerous than a cottonenjoy the challenge of hunting tail or snowshoe.

Most of the complaints we get from people are that the rabbits are extremely tough. This is because theyre trying to eat the older Rabbits," he said. Some people worry about disease in these speedsters. And its true that nature does sometimes he said. The blacktails, which live in the western deserts, are distinctively darker and seldom confused with other rabbits. The whitetail jack however lives at an elevation of 7.000 to 9,000 feet and turns white in the winter. It is larger than the blacktail and has longer ears. It lives in sage and aspen and has black-tippe- d ears even in winter. Although it is technically legal to shoot a jackrabbit and leave him lay, the division supports the use for food of this non-protect- species. The Division doesn't have an official statement on the matter, but from a professional and ethical point of view we support the use of jackrabbits as food," Roberson said. |
