QUESTION: Harry we have been hearing a lot about a realignment of high schools for athletic competition, beginning in 1981. What can you tell us about the UHSAA plans for our Utah High Schools? ANSWER: There undoubtedly will be a realignment of high schools in the fall of A committee is now being formed by the Board of Directors and by the Utah High School Athletic Association to analyze the problems that will accompany a realignment Q. What specific problems can we anticipate? A. At present we have geographical problems for scheduling games in a time of high-cotransportation and the energy crisis. Most of the larger schools are located along the Wasatch Front, within 25 miles of common opponents, but there are schools like Uintah, Tooele, Dixie, Cedar City, Sky View and others.. Some of those schools must travel over 200 .mifes for scheduled games oft varsity boys, varsity girls, sophomore girls, sophomore boys and J.V. girls and boys. Q. Exactly what will the coming realignment do for high school athletics? A. At present we have four schools with enrollments over 2,000 students in the upper three grades. Orem is being divided into two schools, and Bingham, Cottonwood, and Kearns will each surrender students for the new Taylorsville School which opens this fall. Schools like Skyline, Olympus and others have shrinking enrollments, due to thexodus of young families to the urban areas. There should be no school in Utah with 2,000 students, when classes begin in September. In fact, Weber High School and Sky View will probably be the two biggest schools in the state, and plans are presently being discussed to whittle them down. Sky View will be divided by 1983, and Weber High School will see new boundaries to add students to Roy High, and possibly Bonneville in 1981. Q. Will there still be four classifications of Utah High Schools this year? A. No. The 3A and 4A schools will be combined into one category, with the student population reduced to 1,200 and possibly 1,100. The 2A range of students will be set at about 500 to 1,100, and those with fewer than 500 students will be classified as 1A. . 1981 . . st cross-sectio- girl-athlet- e, oil pewodles 2idttinn)iri)ti By Wally Carr Okay Rabbit, lets get a hit! a fan shouts ?s Jeff Co t, the scrappy infielder for the As, steps up to bat. doesnt remember just native of Los Angeles, signed with the Kansas City Royals after graduating from High school in 1973 and was sent to the Royals baseball academy in Florida.
