The Tuellers are coaches in baseball League. 'dad to youngest son', T ueDDers enjoy tlheir sports Fromm By Bliss Fullmer The Sixth-Grad- e Roy Lions II of last year were a sorry lot, but times have changed. They began last season with a coach who apparently lost interest, and was unable to hold practices or even come to the games. Second baseman Bill Price was the most discouraged Lion of the lot when his Aunt Janet Tueller had come to watch his team play the W. R. Pipe team. His Lions, without its coach, was trailing and had given up. Aunt Janet had compassion on the team, and agreed to take over the team, Her magic worked woners. The Lions came alive to win the game and then went on to finish higher than any other team in the Weber County finals. This season, the team has its new coach back, a new name and new uniforms. They are now the Orioles, n playing in Astro uniforms, but they are undefeated and in First place in the Junior B League for kids out of the seventh grade. This years Orioles came bacK stronger than ever. They picked up several key ball players from the team of a year defunct Plant-Plaago, and the coach has instilled optimism into their game. Coach Janet Teuller is no stranger to athletics and coaching. She has a degree in Physical Education from Weber State College, and for eight years has been teaching at Highland Junior High School, and coaching 7-- hand-me-dow- nt softball and track. Her girls at Highland rarely finish out of first place, and never beyond second in the Ogden School District Junior High School league. Janet isnt alone in her new venture in Roy Recreation. Her husband Ken, Manager of Airport Planning at the Jetway Company has a lot of baseball and softball savy and lends his expertise to the Orioles team. Ken plays for Jet Way in the Ogden City h softball league and has played for his Ninth Ward and fast-pitc-h team in Roy. While in the Armed services, he played on his Air Force unit team, out of Crete, and competed in the European Tournament at Wiesbaden, Germany. He also played on a states-sid- e team, while stationed at Beal Air Force Base, near Sacramento, California. Athletics was always important in the life of Janet Tueller. She came along ahead of the womens right movement, that opened the doors to female participation in organized sports, but the desire was there. She played on a few church softball teams, but that was the extent of her participation as an athlete. She majored in Physical Education to be as close to sports as society would let her. Mrs. Tueller was ten or fifteen years ahead of her time. slow-pitc- Janet and Ken live in North Roy, and have two budding athletes. Robyn, age nine will be in the fourth grade, when school begins this fall, and is already looking forward to playing softball next year. She is an accomplished gymnastics star. Her little brother Ryan, is a carbon copy of his father, and should do as well in sports. He is six years old and will be a first grader when school starts. All of the Tuellers go to Daddys games and to watch Mommys team in action, and they love it. Janet took over a losing team last year; a team with shattered morale. She molded the Lions into winners; They went undefeated in their last six games. At this writing, the Orioles are but that was before their game the Tuesday, with their arch-rivalW. R. Pipe team, and the Roy lions are waiting in the wing, the Orioles arent worried. Janet and Ken stress attitude in their coaching. They teach that winning comes only after mastering a good mental attitude, You dont win ball games by making mental errors, says Ken. They teach their kids to play fair, but to play to win! Janet keeps active during her summer vacation. She coaches her Orioles by days, and manages a restaraunt at night. She is presently running for the Weber County School Board, and will be on the ballot in the next election. Roy Recreation is always in need of dedicated coaches, and those miracle Orioles are lucky to have found Janet Tueller. 6-- 0, s, Time to apply for special permits July 1 is the first day to apply for all big game restricted permits, including anterless deer permits, cow and bull elk restricted permits, antelope, moose, desert bighorn sheep and buffalo permits.

BYU will play a third road game, Utah State, before returning for the Cougar Classic. In one of the better intersectional contests of the season, the Mountain Cats will face Michigan State in Provo the night of Dec. 16. For the first time in several seasons BYU will not be taking part in a holiday tournament between Christmas and New Years. But a home game against Utah State is set for Dec. 27 in Provo. The Cougars will also meet Weber State in a contest (Dec. 23) in Ogden. There is another new twist to the 1980-8- 1 season: the Air Force Academy will be playing in the Western Athletic Conference for the first time this year. Four league championships help Brigham Young corner trophy for 1979-8- 0 All-Spor- ts Team championships won in four sports helped boost Brigham Young honors in the Western Athletic Conference for the University to 1979-8- 0 school year. A final tally of the team standings in 10 intercollegiate sports indicate the Cougars can claim the championship by the widest margin in recent years. Using a system of eight points for first, seven for second, etc., the Cougars finished the season with a total ol 71 points. Utah finished a distant second with 50, followed by San Diego State with 41, New Mexico with 40.5, Colorado State with 38.5; Texas-E- l Paso with 33, Wyoming with 32, and Hawaii with 29.5. BYU got off to a strong start with championships in football and basketball, then added wrestling and golf. The only other teams to win Paso (the NCAA track and field more than one title were Texas-E- l and indoor track; and Utah, cross in first was country that champion) winners in swimming and tennis. The other team titles were won by Hawaii (baseball) and San Diego State (outdoor track). During the 1978-7- 9 school year the Cougars captured a total of six sports championships, sweeping the three major sports-footbbasketball and baseball. New Mexico was hurt in the overall tally by the fact that the Lobos forfeited all of their football victories. Texas-E- l Paso would have finished higher, but did not field teams in four of the ten sports. Overall, the WAC placed very high nationally in the spring sports. Besides the two national titles won by UTEPs indoor and outdoor teams, the WAC had an NCAA runner-u- p in baseball (Hawaii) and golf (Brigham Young). In terms of total league championships won since the formation of the Western Athletic Conference in 1962. the Cougars hold the substantial lead with 58 titles. all-spo- rt all-spo- rt Frisbee Golf Tournament held last week Last Wednesday the Clearfield Recreation Departments special event was a Frisbee Golf Tournament. It was held at Fisher Park in Clearfield starting at 10 a.m. Excitement was high as groups of 3 or 4 made their rounds on the 18 hole golf course. The wind was blowing to add to the obstacles presented at each hole. The idea of the game is to have the frisbee go in, or hit a tire which serves as the hole. The number of times it takes to throw the frisbee and hit the tire is the score for that hole. Just like in golf there are 3, 4 and 5 par holes. If the frisbee doesnt hit a tire with 10 throws, then that is the score for that hole. Even with the wind blowing, not many youngsters had to take 10 strokes for any given hole. Par for the course was 72, with many of the youngsters scoring under par and ending up with excellent scores. Ribbons were awarded to winners in each age group. The air was full of frisbees and the day full of fun - just goes to show what a good time can be had when one participates in activities sponsored by the Clearfield Rec.

A. The school board met with all of the coaches of the three Weber County High Schools for their recommendations. They were unanimous in favor of retaining the three team concept. They reasoned that Bonneville, Roy and Weber High Schools would be the only schools to have only two teams, and they felt it would be unfair to our schools. The School Board agreed to their assessment, and there will be three team sports next year. Q. What about the cost for three teams? A. Well absorb the cost into our budget. Money was not the major criteria in the move for two teams. It would have saved approximately $1,500 to $1,800 per school to reduce to two teams, but the big concern is in the facilities required. Roy High School, for example has one basketball court, and five basketball teams to practice on the court and schedule games, and that doesnt include the drill teams etc. Another concern to consider is Coach Burnout. In California the average tenure of high s school coaches is three years; not because of the money or the records, but because they cant stand the pace. Down there they feel obligated to coach twelve months of the year, because everybody else is doing it, and they burn out. We dont want that to happen in Utah. Q. Is the two-teaconcept now a dead issue? A. No. But our next move will be generated at the state level. If the other schools reduce their teams, we will do likewise. And just for the record, I personally favor sophomore competition, but I see troubles downstream that could result from too many teams and coach burn-ou- t. win-los- |
