Show Competition, recreation and fitness Wednesday September 3, 1986 over on ooeoer eber GARY HATCH Review sporls editor KAYSVILLE It wasnt re- venge from last season's state 4A championship game, Davis coach Jim Dickson was adamant, but Davis 21-- 7 win over Weber on Friday was still sweet. Not because it proved or disproved anything from a year ago, but because of what it means for the upcoming season. I just read here in one of the ' ' Salt Lake papers that we avenged our loss from last year. I just hate to see them get into that stuff, Dickson said two days after his Darts got their opening win. The funny thing about it all is that these are two completely different teams than met a year ago. !x Rod's (Bockwoldt, head coach of Weber) only got one or two starters coming back from last year and we've only got three. There were probably only five or six kids who played Fridays game, who also played in the o championship game last year, Dickson said. Bockwoldt felt the same. These kids this year weren't there last year. We have one returning starter back on both sides, so it's not the same team. A Even though everybody was I this playing game up, told our players, Hey, youre not the de"V, fending state champions. Your I V ; team was, and you have to uphold that reputation.

And while Roy coach Fred Thompson says this was in no way a feast, his team showed a healthy appetite for winning he hopes will carry them through the season. Our offense played good for ' about one quarter, during the end of the first quarter and the first of the second. We got three touchdowns during that time, but then for the rest of the game we were shooting blanks, Thompson said. On the other hand, Roys swarming defense pursued and stuffed Ben Lomond's offense time after time. We held them to almost nothing on the ground, Thompson said. And we held them pretty good through the air until right at the end of the game when they completed a couple of passes, Thompson said. The Scots threatened to score only once at the end of the contest. They ran out of time at the line. Roy three-yar- d While the defense was a consistent hit with the Royal coaching staff, the offense was hit and miss. scored all three Roy touchdowns on good run blocking from the offensive line, Thompson said. He also ran over some people, Thompson said. The Royals, however, were also guilty of eight holding penalties and several misques in play action fakes, he added. At this point of the season you hope the defense will be a little ahead of the offense. And it was. While we played defense well Running back Shane Tafoya all game long, we had our problems offensively. We had possession of the ball most of the game and we should have put some more points on the board. We did execute a few good plays on offense, but we also missed quite a few, Thomp- line.
