This time the IAABO Board No. 87 of Ogden (referees and officials group has distinguished the Redskin basketball team with the 1979-8- 0 sportsmanship trophy for the cage season. The new trophy now sits next to another just as glamorous as itself. The first came Roy Juniors way after the Redskins finished their season at 12-and won the league championship among Weber County junior high schools. 0 When asked about the sportsmanship recognition, Coach Mitch Wilcox stated, We didnt have any technicals, maybe that helped. It is the second straight year that the Roy school has taken both awards which county officials have concluded is some kind of feat. Its the attitude of the kids that gets us where we are, said Wilcox, T here were three games that we had no business winning this year, it was the kids attitude that took us all the way.

There is an old cliche that says You can prove anything football, and in basketball, but there is always room for a little man. whose statistics read Speed, and agility. Someone, whose stats ai e 6' 5 and 250 pounds, will catch the attention of a football coach, and if (lie man can also run the 40 yard sprints in less than 4 5 seconds, he rates a second look. If he is near seven feet tall, and can chew gum while walking, he lures the basketball scout, but if the tall one can also make layins, block shots and-o- r dunk the ball, he gets special attention., Coaches begin keeping stats on youngsters, beginning in junior high school. Through high school, the coaches write letters, and show interest, especially after the budding star has an exceptional game Recruiting is not a one-shdeal. Alabamas Bear Bryant was aware of Chuck Ehin when he tirst showed signs of greatness at a junior high school in Mobile He followed the young giant through high school, at Layton High School, and had him coming to the Crimson Tide, but then lost him on the last day to BYl on the Forged Letter incident that made national headlines. Statistics are valuable in appraising a team or an athlete, but they are s not infallible. A record is impressive, but not if that team is in a weak conference or plays a patsy schedule. Weber State had one of the longest winning streaks in the nation, and made the top twenty list hut teams like Notre Dame, Kentucky, Oregon State and even BYU who lost more games, were rated above the Wild Cats because of the teams they played. Football players from so-sconferences don't rate as high, as do powers that are always in the top ten Brigham Young's M ne Wilson broke a basketball of local and national records, but did it on a team that barely made the top ten in the nation Though he revive several national records, in passing and total offense, he finished ni third in the balloting for the Heisman Trophy Many believe that he would have won the Heisman, had he come from a area with more exposure, and friendly sportswriters. Some questioned the caliber of football played in the WAC conference Stats didnt put Wilson on top Alot of statistics are kept on every athlete din football, basketball and baseball. The coaches know what their athletes are doing on the field of battle, by how many tackles he made, how many blocks, how many sack how many yards gained, or passes caught etc In baseball, the player is more on his own, and is judged by hitting, stealing, and fielding Basketball is a team sport, but the player has individual shooting percentages, turnovers, rebounds, blocked shots, and assists to prow Ins worth. A good coach will keep charts on each of his men, and can tell at a glance what to expect of them. In all sports, statistics can be deceiving An athlete may own a 5uo bases load.-in a critical two-ou- t, batting average, but come situation. Or he may be the best shooter on the team but get a Xt.vl Elbow when the game can be won or lost on his last second shot He may drop an easy one in the end zone, because of the pressure on his per formance. Game statistics can be misleading The team with fewer hits, may w in the baseball game. A football team may double its opponent in y.uds gained and still end up on the short end of the final score A basketball team may lead in all the stats, but the one on the scoreboard Ive seen a lot of games won from the free-throline, and justly so and show that one fans the stats when Coaches, players may cry Foul, team made more points from the field, only to lose the game from the foul defense line, but consider this. Some teams play aggressive and that calls for more physical contact with opposing players When those players step to the line for a free-throthey have been denied a chance to shoot from the field, but may get two points from the line. On the other hand, a team doesnt commit as many fouls Simple statistics don't always tell it as it is. Statistics can be misleading in other w ays So much depends on w ho is playing against whom, and how did an athlete sleep last night. Was he feeling well in the game, and a hundred other variables that might determine his level of play. Athletes are not machines and should not be treated as such. They can be flat or play over their heads. The old saying about, Any team, on any given day can beat any other team, is not fiction. The performance of a machine can be predicted to a high degree of accuracy, but a human machine is not that perfect. Dont get down on your special hero, when he doesnt play up to par, because you dont know the problems he may have encountered that day or week. And dont rely too heavily on statistics, unless you want to be disappointed. Statistics are a valuable tool to predict the outcome in athletics, but they can surely fool you sometimes. ot win-los- o more-populate- d d man-to-ma- Youth center sets meeting Hill Air Force Base Youth Center is sponsoring a youth baseball and softball program once again, for dependant military children.
