Davis High junior Jonny Reed and senior Isaac Lundberg are back for the Darts boys squad this season, hoping to improve on last year’s 13th-place showing at state. “We’re very young still with a bunch of juniors and a few sophomores and freshman,” said head coach Paul Timothy. “We’d love to have Johnny and Isaac in the top 10 and hope to close the gap with our next group. We’re about progress more than anything and trying to claw our way back to what Davis has been.”

Jami Caldwell will be assisting Timothy and coaching the girls team who are led by seniors Kate Larsen and Allie Allen. Others to watch out for, according to Caldwell, are senior Angelina Lione – who moved from Texas – along with freshman Izzy Cram, junior Helen Glaze and sophomore Keeley Miller.
