Show '; Davis boys roundball team l' mHUm ready to challenge for Region 2 crown Doug Lang Sports Writer KAYSVILLE Kaysville can get ready to rumble because the Davis Darts are ready to take on all comers this season, y Even the Darts losing three of , their starters from last years team, Davis sill has a strong nucleus for the 95-9- 6 season. As head coach Jay Welk enters his sixth season at the helm of the Darts the outlook started off with an extremely positive note until the injury bug hit early on. As the season started Welk was counting on big man Dan Howard to be a force this year. After last year, Howard had grown from 6 9 to 6 11, but beginning the year with back problems made him a day-to-da- prospect. Then three y weeks ago in practice, Howard on a freak rebound, broke his leg right below his knee which put him out for the season. So the Darts have to bind together as a team to accomplish their go, 's for the season. Leading the Darts this year are Prince at 64, Aaron Christensen at Chad Martineau at 62. Welk is very proud of Martineau who n spent the getting in the best shape he has eer seen. Davis is also sporting a newcomer to the team sophomore Ted Hollist at 66 who has already played a major role for the Darts. Another key player for Davis is 64 Tyler Finlinson. Finlinson is a force around the basket in leading Davis in rebounding with eight per 63, Quinn Gardner and Jeremy Godderidge. Gardner is also part of the walking wounded as he is nursing a separated shoul- der that popped in and out from football this year. He still has a great desire to play and make a contribution. We have a lot of players that hae not had a lot of varsity playing time, says Gardner. They have to realize that varsity is a whole different level. They will have to step it up a notch to compete. Godderidge feels the team has to work together. We have a lot of good players this year. We need to realize that as a team when we work together we can accomplish our goals of a region crown. Welk feels that this new group is very competitive. As a supporting game and scoring 60, points per game. Welk explained that as always Region 2 is very strong. Viewmont is the preseason favorite with a strong supporting cast followed by Skyline, Highland and Bountiful. Welks supporting cast on the bench are coaches Stan Buchanan, Ben Horne. Troy Anderson and former player Jason Calder. e After a loss to Clearfield on Friday, the Darts preseason record thus far is double-overtim- cast the Darts have returning seniors Ben Warden at 15 Ryan 4-- 2.

Davis Lady Darts hoop team BHS students named 79 hopes to hit state title target as national AP Scholars for the season, but she helped the Lady Darts to a third-plac- e finish in volleyball. Doug Lang Sports Writer KAYSVILLE The Dallas Cowboys had their two Super Bowls, the 49ers have had their five rings, this could be the year for the Lady Darts of Davis to go all the way to the champi- onship and get the brass ring. This year is very bright as the Lady Darts are hitting on all pistons in their first few games together. They are on a four-gam- e winning streak and all because of the chemistry on this team. Chimane Creer is in her sixth season with the Lady Darts. This could be her best team. Davis has never been so deep in talent as they are this and BYU bound year. Led by two-tim- e senior Megan Jensen, the Darts have a full quiver of weapons. Coach Creer is very excited with this team. We have a lot of experience on this team. Not only with Megan, but junior Wendy Dale, junior Jane Watts and another weapon transferred from Clearfield 6-- 3 center Jill Adams. All-Sta- te Adams moved into Davis boundaries to the delight of Creer. I was happy to have Jill move into our school, but I also had concerns of how she would fit into our system. Jill has learned a lot and fits really nice into our program while trying to mesh and has earned a spot on the team. Not only does Adams pose a delightful problem of having a tall center to make problems for other teams, but she is also a scoring threat. She can put points on the board, and can take pressure off of Wendy Dale in the middle. Dale is another two-spo- rt standout for Davis. Not only does Dale fit nicely into Creer s plans When asked if volleyball helps basketball have many lofty goals for the season. Both Jensen and Dale feel they can go undefeated for the region and have a good shot at state this year. Jensen explains, We feel as a team that we can go undefeated like we did when I was a sophomore. With Jill, this adds another dimension and a big presence to our game. Shes a great addition. Dale feels that this team is very strong both inside and out. We feel good about what has happened so far and we want to go all the way. For Jensen and Adams the pressure of dealing with college and the tough decisions that lie ahead are now over since they have both verbally committed to play for the Cougars of BYU next year. With that decision out of the way, now I can concentrate on the team this year and meeting our goals, Jensen said. In characterizing the team this year, Creer We have says they are very experience, size, scoring and depth off the bench. Our seniors, Megan, Jill and Abby Gardner really help the young girls on the team. We feel our number-on- e goal is to take the and the new format with region championship, for state that everybody goes to state, taking the bye.
