In the championship bracket, Davis posted its second straight win, moving past Olympus 15-12 15-5. The Darts may have been the hottest team in Region Four at year's end, but the easy win over a good Titan squad was still somewhat some-what surprising. "We just played excellent defense," de-fense," coach Jill Sanduk stated. "We've got nine or ten players who have really come together on the court, and it showed tonight." Particularly strong for Davis were Becky Long, Kristin Packer, Heather Peel and Lori Templeton. If the Darts won Wednesday night, they will play for the state title at 8 p.m. tonight. A loss meant they would play a 4:30 p.m. game today for third place. And Clearfield surprised Alta, winning 15-13 15-5. The first game was nip-and-tuck all the way, but the Falcons overcame a 3-5 deficit in game two and scored 12 un answered points for the victory. Tina Kreimeyer served 1 1 straight winners in that match, which moved Clearfield into a battle with Skyline. If the Falcons won last night, they would also play for the title at 8 p.m., or if they lost, would play at 4:30 p.m. for third place. Complete results will appear in Tuesdat's Clipper. By TOM HARALDSEN ROY After two days of competition com-petition in the state 4-A volleyball tournament at Roy High, both Davis and Clearfield remained unbeaten, un-beaten, Viewmont was still in contention con-tention for the consolation title, and Bountiful, Woods Cross and Layton had all been eliminated. Davis was set to take on perennial peren-nial powerhouse Weber, and Clearfield was to meet Skyline, in action Wednesday evening, after press time. Both teams are guaranteed guaran-teed to place no worse than fourth when finals are held this evening. Here's a recap of the first two days of action: On Monday, Davis overcame a sluggish start to beat Orem, 10-15 15-10 15-7. Meanwhile, Clearfield looked awesome as the Falcons disposed of Granger, 15-2 15-6, in the day's quickest match. But other local teams weren't as fortunate. Layton plaed well against a respected Olympus team, but lost in three games. Woods Cross looked great in the opening game against American Fork, winning win-ning 15-10. But the Wildcats then stumbled, losing games two and three to go into consolation. Both Bountiful and Viewmont suffered heartbreaking losses. The Braves came back from a disaster-ous disaster-ous 15-2 first game loss to Mountain Moun-tain View to win game two, 15-9. The third game went into a tiebreaker, tie-breaker, with the Bruins squeeking out a 16-14 win to send Bountiful into consolation. Tuesday's matches didn't change the fortunes of three of those teams. Bountiful was eliminated elimin-ated quickly, dropping a 15-5 15-4 decision to Taylorsville. The Warriors War-riors were paced by super 6-1 sophomore soph-omore Natalie Williams, who's slams and blocks kept Bountiful from getting untracked. Layton didn't fare much better, losing quickly to Orem, 15-12 15-5. Orem and Taylorsville met in consolation last night. Woods Cross' season also ended Tuesday as it dropped a three-game three-game match to Bonneville. The Lakers started the third game quickly, leading 3-0 and 7-1, eventually even-tually winning 15-6. But Viewmont fought back from its loss on Monday to a powerful Alta team, a loss in three games that included a 15-14 tiebreaker after af-ter the Vikes appeared set to win at 14- 12. Viewmont lost its opening game to Granger Tuesday, another 16-14 tiebreaker, then rallied for 15- 9 and 15-10 wins. Leading the Vikings were Julie Stuart, Sharwan Smith, Trudi Larsen, Gayle Wintle and Jeni Squares, as the Viking's depth started to show. That moved Viewmont into a match with Bonneville last night. The winner of that match will meet |
