The Weber High Boys Basketball team is having a monumental
season as they were just guaranteed at least a tie for first place in the
Region One conference. With one game
left in the regular season, Weber has a conference record of 7-2, chased
closely by Davis, who has a record of 6-3.
Weber plays at Layton on Tuesday while Davis visits
Northridge. A win by the Warriors or a
loss by Davis on Tuesday would give the Warriors sole possession of first place
going into the state championships.
Weber won a tight game on Friday at home in overtime versus
Northridge by a score of 58-57. The
Warriors take a 6 game winning streak into the Lancers home court on Tuesday.
Weber is arguably having the best year since the Warriors
won the state title in 1971. Much like
the championship team in 1971 was well represented by Valley Boys, this year's
team is no exception.
The Warriors are led by Senior Hayden Schenck, who averages
26.2 points, 6 assists and 3.4 steals per game.
Other Valley boys helping Schenck include Jordan Jones (7.3 points, 5.6
blocks, 2 rebounds per game), Auston Tesch (5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.7 steals
per game), Mason Miles (6.2 points, 2.2 rebounds per game), Cooper Cosby and
Cole Robins.
Of course we are not prejudiced towards our Valley boys, but
4 of the top 7 players are homegrown Valley Boys. For that, we offer a tip of the hat to all of
the warriors.
For some nostalgia, the 1971 Championship team had a good
showing from the valley. Ron Buhrley,
Ron Montgomery, and Chad Green were part of the team. Greg Graves and Ryan Jones eventually saw the light, married
valley girls and moved to Huntsville.
The 1971 team was recently honored during halftime of a
Weber High Basketball game and a nostalgic video was created in their honor. The video also includes a dunk fest and three point clinic by the 2013 team.
Tip off Tuesday is 7 PM at Layton High School.
