Park City Ski Club coach Patti Formichelli said this is the first year the Junior Olympics competition will include racers aged 12 through 15. "The reason is so that the U.S. Development Team coaches can see what's developing in the younger racers,'-' Formichelli said. "They want to see them younger and younger so they can see what's ahead. These kids are the U.S. Ski Team's future racers." Formichelli pointed out that Park City Ski Club member Roxanne Toly, who last week was the second highest American finisher in a World Cup downhill at Lake Placid, took a first in the downhill and the combined com-bined as well as a 4th in the giant slalom and an 8th in the slalom in last year's 14-16 14-16 year old class Junior Olympics. The coach complimented the Park City team on their fine racing at Snowbird last week, which saw 300 entrants en-trants on each day's competition. com-petition.

After losing ten of their first eleven games, the Miners had local fans wondering won-dering if they would finish the season without mass defections or coaching staff suicides. But Park City has posted wins in eight of its nine contests and last week's successes assure the Miners a berth in the state I A tournament which begins next week. Park City ended the regular season in a tie with Wendover for second place in Division II of Region Eleven, necessitating a playoff game. The two 6-3 teams met at the neutral Weber State College gym Wednesday, February 28 and Park City downed the Wildcats 48-40. Taking their second-place seeding to the regional tournament tour-nament in Coalville on Friday, the Miners romped over South Rich 89-52. The following evening they handed han-ded North Rich a 54-47 defeat despite a fourth quarter quar-ter collapse that could have cost them the game. The Miners now must beat Wendover this Saturday to gain the region Eleven third place seed in the state tournament. tour-nament. The first and second seeds will be determined deter-mined by the outcome of the Dugway-South Summit game, also to be played Saturday. Dugway and South Summit were the regular season champions of their respective divisions. Saturday's matchup will mark the fourth time Park City and Wendover have played this season. The Wildcats won the first contest con-test but the Miners, effectively effect-ively employing a full court press, were victorious in the last two games. Wendover Having avenged its early Toly 1 2th In Downhill r- Roxanne Sixteen-year-old Park City resident Roxanne Toly skied to an impressive twelfth place finish at the World Cup Women's Downhill at Lake Placid, New York March 2, soundly beating some circuit veterans. A member of the Park City Ski Club, Roxanne's consistently high finishes earned the respect of U.S. Development Team coaches, who invited her to compete in the World Cup competition last Friday. Roxanne last year was named to the U.S. Development Develop-ment Team, a program that acts as a stepping stone for racers whose talents make them potential candidates for the U.S. Ski Team. Last Friday's race at Lake Placid was held on the course that will be used for the 1980 Olympic downhill race. All of the topnotch World Cup racers were on hand for the competition as a preview for the Winter Olympics, now less than a year away. "Roxanne was the second highest Am-erican finisher an outstanding season loss to Wendover by using the full court press in the second encounter. Park City coach Bruce Reid was not about to abandon that tactic in the third matchup. "The experimentation is over," Reid said after the game. "We know what works against certain teams." And the press did work against the Wildcats, creating 24 turnovers. Park City was in control the entire game with senior Tim King registering a Miner-high 13 points. The Wendover game marked the first time all season King has led his team in scoring. Following King was sophomore Mike Gebauer, who added 12 points, nine of them in the final period. If Wendover's play was less than inspired, much of the frustration can be traced to Rocky Brown. The usually outstanding guard suffered through a 3-for-17 night from the floor while his team shot only 32 percent. per-cent. Despite an injured ankle, Wildcat Rob Spillman managed 14 points and 20 rebounds. In fact, Wendover outrebounded the Miners but their excessive number of turnovers made the difference dif-ference in the 48-40 Park City win. South Rich The miners had little trouble racing by a weak South Rich squad on Friday afternoon, 89-52. Park City used the full court press until un-til the final four minutes and the result was 27 Miner steals and a total of almost 50 South Rich turnovers. Everyone on the Park City squad played in the game, which marked the first appearances of freshman fresh-man Les Gurski and Steve Toly, brought up from the junior varsity at the end of the regular season.

Roxanne finished with a 1:45.14, just 2.07 seconds behind first place winner Annemarie Moser of Austria. Moser is number one in the world in the ladies' downhill and has been dominating the World Cup circuit for years. The United States' best finisher was Cindy Nelson, who finished eighth with a 1:44.25, compared to Roxanne's 12th place at 1:45.14. Roxanne was the 41st racer out of the gate in a field of nearly 70 racers. "I'm just thrilled," said Roxanne Tuesday. "The course was a little icy, so everyone was cooking. There was one turn where even Moser got out of her tuck and I kept in mine. There was a steep section where I picked up my time. It was really exciting."

Regaining its composure, Park City romped in the final two periods, taking advantage ad-vantage of numerous steals and pumping in 47 points. Marty Cowin led all scores with 18 points, followed by Walter Hagmann, who hit for 17 before fouling out. Tim King had another productive night with 16 points while Howard Davidson added 12 and Dave Radford had 10 on a five-for-five performance from the field. Si'orth Rich North or south, it didn't matter to the Miners as they downed North Rich on Saturday night 54-47. Coach Reid called the North Rich contest "the important im-portant game" because a victory meant an automatic berth in the state tournament. tour-nament. And going into the fourth quarter, that trip to state seemed assured. But in the final period the Miners saw a comfortable 13-point lead dwindle until the Mustangs had pulled to within six with 1:22 showing on the clock. Leading 47-34 at the fourth quarter tap, Park City failed to score a basket for five minutes and their only field goal of the entire period came on a Marty Cowin layup. As the seconds ticked off, North Summit was forced to foul and two converted free throws by Mickey Henrion with less than a half minute remaining put the game on ice. Reid's pre-game strategy was to shut off high-scoring Trojan Kris Price. Price managed to score a game-high game-high 23 points but the Miners were effective in clamping down on the other North Rich players and no other Trojan broke into double figures.

Wendover Again This season it's been Wendover, and over, and over again. The two teams meet for the fourth time this Saturday at 5:45 in the North Summit gym in Coalville to determine third place in Region Eleven. And once again Park City will call on its full court press to thwart the Wildcat attack. "Of course, we're going to press Wendover," Reid revealed. "In almost every game they've lost this year a full court press has been involved." When asked to compare his streaking team of today with the hapless squad that took the floor at the beginning begin-ning of the season, the coach said, "There is no comparison." com-parison."

The aggressiveness of the full court press has eliminated the lethargy we experienced earlier and the kids are looking for each other rather than playing one-to-one. All the kids have improved im-proved their skills throughout the season and have geared those skills toward team concept basketball." Although not predicting a championship, Reid feels his squad will show well in the state tournament. "I feel we have a more representative team than last year. We're on an upward up-ward trend whereas last year we were flat. And we have much more depth." Reid said his team is in the unique position of coming into the tournament without being ranked all year. "We're a sleeper," he said. "We're playing as well as anyone in the region right now and we hope to catch a couple of teams off guard." 8 &w o than people Our policy i laving you money. 649-8656 J.M.-.H.tJN, r |
