New and permanent communication , lines have been added to end thewait while wires are hotted up for phone contact between the start and finish. "This is probably one of the best NASTAR hills in this part of the country," said Marsh, who assured that the confusion and waiting of previous years "just won't happen ."

"We're new at this game," Marsh said. "We've got a lot to learn about NASTAR and Town Races, but we think this is going to be some race season." Both Summits Post State Wins Both South and North Summit gained quarterfinal victories in the Class 1-A football playoffs held last week. Defending champion South Summit used a flea-flicker play with 2:55 remaining in the game to defeat North Sevier 20-14 in Provo on Friday. The Wildcats were trailing 14-13 when John Mondragon hit Glade Stembridge with a pass. Stembridge then turned and pitched to Kent Thomas, who galloped into the end zone on the 50-yard play. In Provo, the North Summit Braves overwhelmed the East Carbon Vikings 59-0, making the Braves the only undefeated 1-A team in the state. North Summit scored its first touchdown on an 11-yard 11-yard pass from Max Pace to Bart Richins. Then the flood gates opened as North Summit tried to burn out the scoreboard lights. The Braves led 38-0 at the half and made it 44-0 in the third quarter on a Pace pass to Mark Vernon that covered 34 yards. Touchdown runs by Kelly Comer and Dave Judd, along with a 32-yard field goal by Pace, accounted for the rest of the scoring. SET f XOU CAN DO IT Ankle Roll for Edge Control football players and their trainers have tfiriown lor years that large leg muscles aire needed for explosive strength and to protect the bones of the leg. The ankle roll exercise will build muscles around the bones of the lower leg which will help protect those bones from injury and at the spme time increase the strength of the ankles, calves and muscles on the outside out-side of the shin bone. These lower leg muscles are important because they help the skier achieve quicker and more vjgorous edge change. i Start by placing the balls of the feet on a hVick, board or book. Now drop the ijeels as low as you can go (left). As you raise up, roll you feet and ankles to the outside (right). Hold this high position for two to three seconds, then return heels to the low position slowly. Repeat this sequence five times to start and work up to 15 as your strength improves.

Coach Burns was kind enough to grant The Newspaper an interview and give some insight in-sight to his feelings on this past season and some projections for next year. "First of all, I can't say enough about the community support and how much that meant to the team," Burns said. The Stadium Committee donated $700 for weight training equipment, the press coverage was good, and the entire community com-munity was behind our program." Although the Miners finished the season with a 4-5 overall record, Coach Burns pointed out quite a few positive factors. "Our players certainly developed as the season progressed. We tried to instill a positive feeling toward football. My basic coaching philosophy is to keep football fundamental and fun for the players." An example of the positive motivation that Coach Burns employs is the sign on the wall of the weight room. "In order to change your level of performance, you have to change your level of expectation." It was no secret that Coach Burns put a great deal of emphasis on defense. "You can't win a championship unless you have a good defense. We worked about 40 to 45 of our time in practice prac-tice on defense, much more than everybody else. We basically used a zone defense with each player covering his own area rather than pursuing pur-suing the ball carrier. The most pleasing factor of our season was the development of our defense." defen-se." Coach Burns is a great believer in the team concept, where there are no superstars and the team is more important than the individual. "We have to relate the importance of the team over the importance of the individual because one person cannot win a ball game." Looking to next year, Coach Burns plans to run the option play more after the development this past season. "There is going to be a great deal of difference next year because with the experience we've gained, we'll be able to do what we want to offensively. Although we lose ten starters to graduation, a lot of younger players are progressing very well, and nobody really has a hold on their position. I am a firm believer in offseason off-season development primarily weight lifting although I do encourage activity in basketball and wrestling. When the season ended we were a little behind North and South Summit but we've got to make great progress, catch ' up and pass these teams during the off season. ' ' Coach Burns is very pleased with the progress made during his first season as head coach and speaks confidently of the future. "I think we have the capabilities of making Park City one of the best small schools in the state. We've come a ways but we still have a great deal of improvement im-provement ahead." After meeting with Bob Burns it is easy to understand un-derstand the strength of his leadership and how he gets the most out of his players. We've got a long winter and hot summer days ahead of us before the Miners take the field again. But you can rest assured that a class football team will represent Park City.
