Notice the hole through the line. Deets gained 55 yards size of Bear River player behind Uintah's 69. Football continued from page 18 Lewis took the ball 16 yards on a sneak for the score. Bear River then went for it on 4th down and short yardage big mistake! mis-take! Led by a furious surge from tackles Mike Glines and Chris Keiver, linebackers Jed Labium, Jeremy Huber, Issac Smuin and Randon McKee stuffed the huge 220 pound Bear fullback for no gain. The Ute offense promptly marched down the field behind the running of Rhett Deets for their 2nd score of the evening. The two point conversion was good as the Utes took a 15-0 lead heading into the. 2nd quarter. After a good kickoff return, the Bears turned to the air, marching down the field themselves after two great catches by their All-State tight end led them into the endzonc for the score and a 15-7 deficit. Ute coaches could be seen on the sideline side-line trying to hear each other talk as the noise on the field was deafening. The Uics seemed to be bogging down when on 3rd and long, Lewis hooked up with Mike Hardy on a spectacular one-handed catch for a 51 yard gain. The very next play Deets blasted his way in for the score and a 22-7 lead after the two-point two-point conversion was good. With just over a minute to go in the 2nd quarter, Deets went down to a knee injury. Sensing the letdown by the Utes over the loss of Deets, Bear River took the ensuing punt and went 57 yards on two pass plays for the score with just 47 seconds sec-onds left in the half. It was 22-15 after af-ter the two point conversion was good. Deets was later diagnosed with a bruised knee and will be out for a week and a half. "The kids could have really put their heads down after Rhett was hurt and they scored that last second touchdown," Belcher explained, "but these kids came out even more determined in the 2nd half to play hard and that's exactly what they did, I'm extremely proud of them."

"It definitely was a baptism by fire," Salazar said, "we went in without knowing what the format was, who we would be playing or how many games we would play. On top of that, the kids hadn't played together yet and we really had no idea what combinations of players would play best together." In a field of 5A schools and 3A and 4A powerhouses, Lady Ute players realized they would have to gel quickly. "There were no easy matches," setter Lynette 'squeaky' Colovich said, "every team seemed to have quick players, big hitters and very tall blockers!" yards and D.J. Lewis passing for another an-other 81. Bear River compiled 106 yards through the air but could muster just 12 yards rushing against a stingy and proud Ute defense. The 2nd half was more of the same as Uintah gained 53 yards on the ground, led by Lewis 48 yards rushing. The Bears fared no better as they gained 37-2nd half rushing yards and just 24 through the air. Totals for the game had the Utes gaining 219 yar,ds 141 on die ground and 78 in the air on 5 of 6 attempts. Bear River had 179 total yards 49 rushing and 130 in the air on 15 of 24 attempts. Fullback Dave Lawson gained 25 tough yards on 10 carries while Lewis ended up with 48 yards on 11 carries. car-ries. Mike Mashburn, filling in for Dccts gained 5 yards on 5 carries. Other than Deets, the Utes experienced experi-enced no significant injuries. That's good because they are going to need everyone this Friday night when the team hosts huge Grand Junction Central an 1,800 plus student high school from Colorado. Game time is set for 7:30 p.m. at the UI1S football foot-ball stadium. Thursday, the team played 5A host Bountiful, 5A Cyprus and 5A Layton. Bountiful and Cyprus both proved to be too strong, dropping Uintah in straight games. Against Layton, the team began to pull together, to-gether, emerging with a 3rd game rally score victory. Saturday moming action resumed with the Lady Utes taking on undefeated unde-feated and eventual champion Delta. "We went into the Delta game with a great attitude," Salazar said, "we had a much better idea of what to expect and how we played together." The Lady Utes proceeded to dominate the Lady Rabbits with solid digs, accurate sets and big hits. "We told the kids before the match if we could play with Delta, we could play with anyone, and they went right out and soundly defeated de-feated them. Everything went perfect per-fect Our defensive backs led us with one great dig after another," Salazar said. Back liners Shawni Boren, Melissa Davenport, Heidi Barker, Misty Dimmick and Adrienne Peisley received much of Salazar's praise along with setters Lynette Colovich and Misti Poglajen. It was the only loss of the tournament for the Rabbits. The Lady Utes went on to finish with an overall record of 3-4 and 4th place after falling to Granger and Emery and defeating Hillcrest in another 3 game match with rally scoring deciding the final contest "The best part about both the rally games was we only missed one serve total for both games. We have spent a lot of time emphasizing the serve," Coach Salazar said. Along that same line, Dea Madsen put together to-gether a string of 9 straight points during the tournament while Misty Poglajen strung together 8 straight points. The girls are in action again today (Wednesday) at Carbon with a 6:00 p.m. game and again Thursday at Union with the same starting time. Team ranked 3rd Soccer team runs past P.G. by Eric Pye Sports Writer The 1994 Lady Ute soccer team is already turning heads and gaining the eye of 3A soccer coaches. After the team's recent 3-0 shutout of 4A Pleasant Grove, they find themselves them-selves ranked 3rd in the 1st poll of the season behind Pineview and Dixie. "The ranking is great and the kids deserve it," Coach Randy Shafer said, "but there are several tough t ams in our region that we will have to play well against to win, not to mention around the state." Despite Coach Shafcr's 'guarded' statement, the poll (Salt Lake Tribune's Coaches Poll) knows what it is doing. do-ing. This lady Ute soccer team is loaded. load-ed. With 23 returning seniors and 5 All-State players back including goal keeper Naoni Barker, the team's 9-0 goal differential against their first two opponents is no fluke. Granted Region 10 will be a definite challenge especially with talented and experienced learns like Wasatch and Park City, but this should be the team's best shot at the 'big one.' Take last Wodncsdy's game for example. ex-ample. Despite playing what Coach Shafer termed 'lethargic,' the girls still controlled the action from beginning be-ginning lo end against a larger 4A chooL Ten minutes into the 1st half, Jennie Murray showed her husk and quickness when the beat (he Pleasant Grove goal keeper to a loose ball and used a 'slide kick' to core om a charging keeper for a J-0Udy UwIcaI Youth Volleyball sign ups The Uintah Kcftiiil Aiwtclatkxi i hew attfrfttn feign up for theif Y(h VWteyhaJI p fram, The pmraro i (kupvd Car Uyt 4 fU in the 3rd through ih grata! fo art intrmml in lramtg the ftfftdamcnuH cf the sport hrtktpanu itl fwfipe in tfenici tad tfrfl he dmtaj into trom mxt4t to t and ability, fej t.tw mU he piaynj Ttfrt&y, at msi U. khtmi The f $H k4 pnrm m8 he Tw?. fL JOaftfftpw. $ a(J tmwi.

"Melissa (Busch) had an easy shot on goal out in front," Coach Shafer explained, "but saw Robin (Oosteveen) in a better position for the shot." Busch drew the defense (and keeper) to her by faking the shot, and then simply let the ball roll past her to a waiting Oosteveen, who booted it in for the 2-0 lead. The 1st half ended with the Lady Utes up 2-0. Coach Shafer explained the team received a 'persuasive 'per-suasive talk' during halftime to play with more energy and effort Sometimes 'persuasive talks' work and sometimes they don't. According to Shafer, this one didn't work very well. "We played as flat in the 2nd half as we did the 1st I realize we were still in control, but the girls must learn to play up to their potential so they can continue improving with each contest Otherwise, we will only on-ly be as good as our opposition." Sandra Rantz knocked in the only goal of the 2nd half about mid-way through for the final 3-0 score. "With a good effort, we should have scored at least six times," Shafer said, "I hope the girls learn from this." The team faces a stiff challenge Thursday when they travel to Wasatch for a 3:30 matchup. y pontiac a.
