Show Local wrestlers do well at state meet Home. Home was at 188 for most of last season and he liked the move to heavyweight in his senior season. He also won the region title and captured third place in state by pinning Justin Jones of Brighton in first round action last Saturday night at West Jordan High School. Other Darts to place last Saturday Satur-day night included Justin Julandcr in the 101 Category. It was a dis-. dis-. appointment for Julandcr to not make the finals after he made those same finals just a year ago. He settled set-tled for fourth when he lost to Billy Hobbs of West Jordan 4-2. K AYSVILLE - Northern Davis County once again showed their shining worth in the 4-A state wrestling tournament by seeing two of the three high schools finish among the top seven prep teams in that bracket. FOR THE past couple of years now this area has put themselves on the map in the world of high school wrestling. Davis High finished with 90 Vi points to get a sixth place finish. The Darts, who were under the direction of Jeff Isom this season, finished just two points out of fifth place where Box Elder finally ended en-ded up. They were only VA points out of fourth as Alta took that spot. Finishing third this year was Taylorsville and second was the host school, West Jordan. And once again, without much surprise, was Bengals of Brighton High. RIGHT BEHIND the Darts this year was Scott Tennis' Clearfield Falcons who ended up with 84'2 points. Layton, coached by the veteran Mike Hansen, took up the 14th spot this year with 32'2 points. There were no state champs among the three schools this year, which was unusual. At least one of the three schools has been able to come up with a winner over the past few years. CLEARFIELD'S John Walters came the closest however as he took second in the 108 pound category, losing to Matt Castel 5-3 in the finals. It was the second straight year that Walters finished among the top four in the state tournament. Davis' three heavies all finished in third place this season, all of which culminated a fine season for them and the school. FIRST IT was Rob Warden, a junior, taking third at 170 where he beat out Troy Sargent of Bingham 9-7 for third place. Warden will be one of the key people back next year for the Darts. Next to finish third was Blake Hart at 188. Hart, who missed last season's action because of injuries, made a spectacular showing in his final season as a Davis Dart. He won the region title and finally ended en-ded up beating Brian Syddall of Granger 10-2 for third place in the entire state. THE LAST Dart to take third was their heavyweight, Roger |
