(55) Davis, Blaine Tracy (63) Layton and Jarren Pack (51) Viewmont could create some huge holes. j I Smith, Bearnsen, Pack, Tracy and McNabb. ft- ' Sounds like a law firm but this group of ofTen-up ofTen-up sive linemen could make bigger holes in a deft- fensive line than a slick attorney could in a-tt,, a-tt,, weak case. n : THERE WERE some great offensive line- : men this past season but these are the five best selected for the all-county squad. They have p- sat, speed and excellent technique. Each of X- them brings something special to the line, ib,' At the center of all of this is the Pac Man or at ii Jarren Pack of Viewmont. His coaches noted it.' that in all his games he graded out above 90 eft percent which made him the best that the Vikes had. He missed one game, against Davis, and oft the Darts wasted no time in taking advantage of CIK his absence. THE THING about this 6'1" 185 pounder is teir his meaness. Plain and simply he doesn't like plur to get beat and will do anything to get his man n oat of the path of a runner. Jarren plays just e like he practices, at full steam. Football was of id made for him, he loves the contact, and he'll CMt probably get the opportunity to continue his Ik- act at a junior college. : afi: Dave Smith of Bountiful is our big man. At 6'4" and 235 pounds it's hard to miss Dave on the field. He missed the first four games of the season and the Braves felt his absence, once he got back into the lineup the Braves started to move the football on the ground. COLLEGE scouts are taking a long and hard look at this giant on the line and his coach feels he would make a great college lineman. Dave is a fine run blocker who also showed he could protect the passer when called on to do so. Bountiful was well represented on the line with Steve Bearnsen also making the first team. At 6'2" and 210 pounds Steve was bigger than many he faced but it was his quickness that has impressed the college scouts. Many of them feel he has excellent foot speed which will be a great asset in a college type offense. STEVE was one of the leaders at Bountiful, both on and off the field, as he was one of their team captains. Mr. Bearnsen was a big reason for the success of the running game at Bountiful Bounti-ful and he'll probably get the chance to continue con-tinue playing football at the college level next fall. Earning a spot on the 1982 Davis County All-Star offensive line was Layton's Blaine Tracy, a senior. TRACY MADE a pretty firm committment during the off-season just what he'd like the fall of '82 to be like. Individually it came out pretty much liks he wanted, however team wise, the Lancers didn't make the playoffs which was a big goal. He gave up track and field to weight-lift weight-lift during the spring and he continued his personal per-sonal committments through the summer. All in all he gained about 30 tough pounds which made him a completely different player as a senior. Tracy played among some pretty good team mates, guys like Dave Glover and Tracy Jones, but week in and week out Blaine appeared to be the most consistent. He was a solid choice for the '82 squad. JUNIOR offensive lineman, Greg McNabb of Davis High, gets our vote as one of the elite 1982 Davis County All-Stars. To make All-Star teams as a junior is very impressive, and even more impressive when you're lineman. Only a lineman himself could tell you how much you've got to learn and usually it's by your senior year that everything finally begins to come together. BUT FOR McNabb, 1982 was a brilliant year for him and his fellow Darts. Greg at 1 75 -pounds familiarized himself with the Dart's complex blocking system and helped open consistent holes for Davis backs. It wasn't a rare thing to find Davis piling up 200 or 300 : yards rushing each game and of course a lot of the credit goes to guys like McNabb. Greg says he is looking forward to next year with undivided delight. |
