few weeks ago to select all region offensive and defensive first and second unit teams Layton and Bountiful joint., placed seven men on both the offensive and defensive units Layton furnished of the offensive first stringers, and almost half of the defensive elite Bountiful athletes found their names on one third of the offensive team Six of the Region One Teams picked up the balance of the first team honors, and half of the second team slots From the grapevine I learned that there was a lot of politicing, by several of our southern neighbors I find it hard to believe that Bountiful and Layton were such a dominating force in Region One Bonneville, the hard luck team of the league, had some great athletes on their roster They held Bountiful and Lavton to six points, and could very easily have beaten both teams They managed to get three men on the 47 man honor roll Layton, by contrast had 13 Weber High School placed tnree men on the 47 man roster, and all of them were SECOND STRING
