Show Page B2 Thursday, September 17, 1987 Park Record Football from B1 especially in the second half. In the first half,. Burns said the Trojan defense was stacking up the middle with the express purpose of stopping Hales. But in the second half, blocking block-ing assignments were adjusted and Hales had more success. He ended up with 48 yards on the ground. That brings his three game total to 385 yards. Burns didn't think the Park City defense played that well. The Trojans Tro-jans had 197 yards in total offense compared to Park City's 199, but had 12 first downs. The Miners had only seven. Morgan also ran more plays, 60 to 40, than Park City. "They were able to sustain drives better than we did," Burns said. The Miner offense had its chances, but penalties, fumbles, and mental errors er-rors put stops on many drives. The problems on defense start with position. Burns said the kids are not staying square against the offensive blockers, and are then susceptible to getting turned right out of the play. Another problem area is outside containment and support on sweep and option plays. Burns said it isn't a matter of footspeed for the Miner defense, but rather poor reaction time. On the defense three players stood out, however. Justin Rino, playing inside linebacker, had 10 tackles in the game, four more than the next best defender. He also had a crushing shot on the Trojan quarter back, Mark Wheeler, in the first quarter. Clint Weaver was playing well at his defensive tackle spot, but then strained his trapezius muscle in his neck (he also had a slight concussion) concus-sion) and had to leave the game. To cover for him, Bart Davis moved from his tackle spot to guard, and Brody Heinrich moved to tackle. Burns said both players did a good job in the game. The Miners' first lost opportunity came midway through the first quarter. A Trojan fumble was recovered on the Morgan 38 yard line and Park City marched down to the two, but Cartier fumbled into the end zone and Morgan recovered. The quarter ended scoreless. Then midway through the second quarter it was Morgan's turn to move the ball. Starting at their own 32, the Trojans soon found themselves on the Park City 41, thanks in no small part to a 15 yard facemask penalty. The big play on the drive came on a third and 11 call. Split end Rod Winn took a reverse handoff and scampered for 17 yards from the Park City 28 to the 11. With 1:23 left in the half they made it into the end zone, and soon had a 7-0 lead. The Miners weren't content to run out the half, though, and moved the ball to the Morgan 45. There a late hit call tacked on 15 more yards to the 30 yard line with only 10 seconds left. From there Miner QB Rory Tatton hit end Randy Poison in the right J.V. pounded by Morgan Whereas the Park City High School varsity football team is on a two game win streak, the junior varsity var-sity has not been so fortunate, losing for the third time this week 22-0 to Morgan. Miner J.V. Coach Jesse Schaub said he thought the kids did a lot of things better against Morgan, "but are still making way too many mental men-tal mistakes. Practice is one thing, but game situations demand a higher level of concentration." Morgan capitalized on a bad snap on a Park City first quarter punt for its first score. They took over on the Miner 18 and three plays later were in for the score. Volleyball from B1 Morgan jumped out in the second game to a 0-3 lead, but Theresa Lints brought the Miners back with some good serving to a 2-3 deficit. " Then Valeri check spelling tg Elkins took over, smashing three winners for a 5-4 Park City lead. "Morgan started to roll about then, and went up 7-10. But Park City wouldn't lay down and rallied to an 11-11 tie. At that point, the Park City passing pass-ing hit a lull, numerous "free" balls (non-spike shots) going over the net to put the Trojans on the offensive. It was another free ball which killed kill-ed the Miners. A good Trojan serve was dug out well, but the ball went a little too far forward, ending up just over the net on the Morgan side. That ball was a perfect set for the Trojan frontline, which spiked it easily for the final point in the 11-15 win. Then the J.V. hit the court, but not in a big way. In the first game the Miners were very hesitant to go for the ball. Plus, the young players often didn't watch the ball when handling serves and passes. The result was a 1-15 Morgan drubbing. The second game looked to be more of the same, as Park City fell behind 0-13. But then the Miners came alive, at least for a while. Good serving by Jami Weber and a few timely spikes by Shannon Richardson brought the Miners back, somewhat, scoring seven straight points. But the deficit was just too large, with the final score ending at 7-15 for Morgan. "Our goal with the junior varsity is to expect the players to improve individually," McBride said. She In the second quarter the Miners put together a good drive to the Morgan 40 yard line, but then split end Matt Woods fumbled the ball while trying to pick up some extra yardage. The alert Morgan defender picked up the fumble and scampered all the way down for the TD. 14-0 Morgan. The final score came off an interception in-terception return. Schaub said Miner quarterback Beau Brinkerhoff threw a pass that he shouldn't have, and ended up getting it picked off. The Morgan interceptor intercep-tor returned this the length of the field for the score, as well. The Miners take on Grantsville this week in Grantsville at 5 p.m. thinks it is much more important to develop the girls' skills than to be overly concerned with the match results. That is why she doesn't want to play any of the Miner varsity players during the J.V. games. Back to the varsity forine"second match. Lints nailed the first six points of the game from the serving line for a 6-0 P.C. lead. Valeri Elkins increased increas-ed that lead to 8-0 with two more good serves. The Miners dominated this game, with a combination of good digging, setting, and serving. Morgan tried to come back, but the game ended at 15-7 Park City. After that opening, it looked as if Park City might have rolled, but instead in-stead it was Morgan in the second game. Missed serves were the main problem for Park City in the 8-15 loss. The final game went right down to the wire, as both teams seesawed for the lead. A couple more good serves and a few breaks could have told a different tale, but in the end it was the Miners on the losing side 13-15. The Park City record is now 2-2, 0-2 in Region Nine. This week's match, Thursday, Sept. 17, is against Grantsville at home in Miner Gym. Game time is 5:30 p.m. McBride said Grantsville is always a tough team to beat. But this year the team may be a bit different. dif-ferent. The longterm Grantsville coach retired last year, so the team is under new leadership. Regardless of the opposition, McBride is pleased with her team. "The girls have matured a lot, and are really excited about the program," pro-gram," she explained.

Poison nearly made it in, but was forced out on the two with three seconds left. The half's final play went to Car-tier Car-tier on a pitchout. He was hit at about the four, but struggled and looked like he made the end zone. One referee started to put his hands up, but the others didn't agree, and no touchdown was called. Burns had something to say about the call, but it was to no avail. So, after one half Park City should have been up 14-7, but instead was trailing 7-0, That looked to be remedied on the opening kickoff of the second half on Cartier's return, but Hardy's clip put the ball at the Trojan 34. Park City looked to have the momentum, but Hales fumbled on the first play from scrimmage, after picking up eight tough yards, to end the threat. Not much later, Park City had another shot when the Morgan punter dropped the snap at his own 25. Park City got down to the 15, but then didn't net much yardage, and was faced with a fourth and one play at the six. Hales got the call, but was hit in the backfield and couldn't get any build any momentum, ending with no gain. The field position would soon pay off for Park City.though. Morgan could do nothing and had to punt. Cartier took the ball at the Trojan 45, broke two tackles, and roared down to the 11 before he was finally stopped. stop-ped. Two Hales plows netted nine yards. Park City's other QB, Russ Mathews pushed in on the next play for the TD. On the try for two, Car-tier Car-tier got the ball on a pitchout, was hit at the three, but powered into the end zone with two Trojans on his back. Score 8-7 Park City. Time soon was running out on the Trojans, but since the Miners had kept them in the game this long, they thought they might as well make it a nail biter. The Trojans started at their own 10 (after a good punt by Cartier) with 3:36 left. They moved it with some timely passes down to the Park City 40 with 55 seconds left and the atmosphere got tense. Split end Clint Covill then committed commit-ted an offensive interference penalty against Miner defensive back Brett Peretti, and the threat was over. This Friday is homecoming for the Miners. Grantsville will do its best to spoil the fun at 5 p.m. at Dozier Field. Burns said Grantsville is also 2-1, losing its opener to Richfield and then beating Dugway and Wasatch convincingly. He said the centerpiece center-piece of the team is Clint Christiansen, Chris-tiansen, who is one of the best defensive defen-sive linemen in the state. As if that wasn't enough, he also plays fullback, and is averaging over 100 yards per game. : --in THE lisn CAI1EL LTD.
