The Warriors danced to the Region One title with the strongest second half showing of any team in the league, Their playoff victory over Granger was also reassuring that perhaps this team might go further than most in the coveted state playoffs at the University of Utah Special Events Center. Weber opened their play in the Special Events Center with a loss to Orem, 2 last Thursday and finally 1 d on a lost to Layton, shot by Dave Burke. Lancers Emotional Ive coached for a number of said Coach Doug Moon of years, Layton, But Ive never seen a bunch of kids play with as much emotion and pure desire than this bunch. Moons statement has to be true. A first glance at his Lancer team would lead most to believe they either raided the football team for prospects or this d was merely a volleyball team in disguise. Prior to the two teams meeting in the state tournament, one meeting n had already taken place in and two more were battled out during the regular season.

Ralph Anderson, who came alive of the season, over the second-hal- f stole a Lancer pass and raced for a basket to give his team the lead, After a freethrow by Miller, a Drew Skeen and an by offensive rebound by Skeen, the 3 Warriors held a advantage. It was over four minutes into that second period before Layton finally notched their first point. But after the drought, the Lancer points came in swarms. The Lancers went on to outscore Weber 13-- 4 in the next three minutes to take a 4 lead into halftime and all the momentum in the game. Extend Lead Layton extended their lead after three quarters to mostly behind the play of hustling center, Stan Owens.

His eight third quarter points also helped the winning teams chances too. Johnson opened the final period w ith a three-poin- t play to close the gap to five. Another bucket by Anderson brought Weber to within three. as if Weber had the momentum, It was appearing stole suddenly especially when Skeen hit the bottom of the net in two jumpers compared to a Lancer freethrow which tied the game at 45-4- Burke hushed the crowd the next and a lime down with a costly turnover on Webers part with 4 14 remaining hurt the Warriors chances er After a timeout by Weber, Owens popped in two straight jumpers to extend the lead to 5 for Layton. Johnson helped close the gap with a and moments later Skeen added a freethrow. With just over a minute remaining, Johnson brought the Weber cheering section to its feet when he scored on a jumper toss and was fouled. His charity-stri- p was good and the score was tied. Layton worked patiently for the final shot before Burke let go a bomber from 23 feet out with eight seconds to go to ice the victory for Layton. 51-4- two-point- clash to be staged 4-- A 3-- grip on the region championship The Lancers scored first in the fourth meeting between these two Region One powers and eventually led whetT the quarter ended, junior Kelly Johnson, a forward, wholl be back next year to haunt Region One foes, didn't get a bucket through the first eight minutes of play but was the first to score to open the second stanza.

He notched 26 points that first contest and led his team a second-plac- e finish in the Region Four race with a 3 mark. After losing to Ogden We just twice, Jeff admitted, couldnt match up well against those guys, probably because of our height disadvantage. After we got beat out in the tournament, I was rooting for the Tigers all the way. Jeffs 19.8 point average was impressive enough to help him lead his team in scoring for the second straight year. His coach, Mike Gardner, commented, Jeff has to be the finest shooter, possibly the purest shooter that Ive ever coached in my 11 years at Davis High School. Emery is not only a star on the basketball court but starred for two years on the gridiron and three years on the varsity baseball level. Jeff 6-- 7-- started for two years on the basketball team a few games as a sophomore. Gardner is summing up the pleasure of coaching an athlete like Emery, said, Ive got some sons who like playing basketball and someday if they ever get the point of playing basketball in high school, Id want them to be just like a Jeff Emery. Jeff not only has represented us well on the court, but as well off the court too.
