Muckers Bill Hart was up to his old tricks in the "old boys" match which by STEVE CREER Record guest writer The Park City Muckers made nine first half points hold up with good defensive play to beat a stubborn University of Utah team 9-6 in Salt Lake City Saturday. Zuke Garceau scored the only tri of the game off a nice pass from Mark Cotgrove, and Paul Carpenter added a penalty kick and a conversion conver-sion to account for Park City's scoring. scor-ing. Garceau's tri came after Dave Sundquist blocked a 22 meter drop kick. Cotgrove took a low pass and flipped the ball to Garceau who took it at full speed and ran in for the score. Carpenter had a tough day kicking in windy conditions, but made the winning penalty goal and a difficult conversion. From then on it was all defense. The backs were tested all afternoon, but they never let the Utes score a tri. The centers either tackled or forced their opponents to run to the sidelines, where the wings took them down. Technique was key in the pack. The forwards were outweighed at most every position, but their low drive in scrums and determination in line-outs proved to be the difference. dif-ference. The University did convert two penalty kicks in the second. Park City Ci-ty was against the wind and battled in its own end for most of the second stanza. But a penalty kick near the end of the match went wide. Minutes later the action ended. There was also an old boys match and a B-side match on this rugby day. The Park City old boys lost 4-0 while the B-side played to a 4-4 tie. The Muckers will host a clam bake Saturday June 11 at City Park from 4 to 9 p.m. There will be live music and plenty of food and refreshments. Tickets are $10 and are available from individual players or at the Alamo.

Miner chosen for 8889 by RANDY HANSKAT Record staff writer You may think Park City High School is small. After all, if you have come to this town from some far away city, you may have attended a high school where the graduating class was larger than the entire PCHS enrollment. But the school isn't small when it comes to its cheerleading contingent. con-tingent. Next year's group, in fact, is pretty large by any school's standards. Last year, the school selected four varsity and four junior varsity varsi-ty cheerleaders, along with about 20 drill team members. This year, Michelle Clement of the high school has changed the format for-mat somewhat, going with 21 cheerleaders and no drill team. Next year's squad will consist of 11 varsity and 10 junior varsity cheerleaders. Clement said a panel of seven judges made the selections from the 30 who tried out. Included on that panel were three BYU cheerleaders. First off, each person per-son had to fill out an application. A 2.0 GPA is required for the junior varsity, while a 2.5 is necessary for the varsity. Also on the application, it was necessary to explain why he or she wanted to be a cheerleader. Beyond the application, came actual cheers. Each prospective had to perform a set cheer and a set dance, similar to compulsory routines in gymnastics. After those were finished, each had to perform both a cheer and a dance which they had made up on their own. From there, it was up to the judges. In addition to making the team, the top two scorers in the varsity and JV became captains of the squads. Here is the group you will be seeing jumping and yelling their lungs out next year for the Miners. Their grade follows the name. Varsity captains: Bill Olson (12), Karrin Tatum (11). Squad: Melissa Francis (12), Krista Steinke (11), Paige Batty (11), Heidi Schulthess (12), Shannon Shan-non Richardson (12), Rachael James (11), Heather Ford (12), Kimmy Wartena (11), Kami James (12). Junior varsity captains: cap-tains: Jill Blizzard (10), Stephanie Mullen (10). Squad: Nikki Mathews (10), Ady Morrison Mor-rison (10), Alicia Thompson (10), Holly Martinez (10), Heather Hixson (10), Chelsey Lang (11), Michelle Sloan (11), Darla Davis (10). Congratulations to one and all, and practice that yelling over the summer! |
