A Park City Ski Area press release reports that this season U.S. Ski Team members Kristen Krone and Bob Ormsby "will wear Alpine Meadows on their their headgear." by ALEX WELLS Record staff writer When the gun sounded to end the football game friday night at South Summit, the Park City Miners ran out on the field to celebrate. It's a long way to a championship, but the players had reason to be happy. They had slipped past the heavily-favored Wildcats, 10-6, breaking a 12-game South Summit win streak. They had moved the football, taken advantage of turnovers, tur-novers, and played tough defense-all defense-all the things they didn't do in their opener against Wasatch. They had suddenly, if not surprisingly, played good football. The biggest difference Friday night was the Miner offense, which racked up 173 yards, better than double their total against Wasatch. Senior halfback Corey Francis rushed 18 times for 84 yards and caught a pass for nine yards. Fullback Jeremy Manwaring had 14 carries for 40 yards. And quarterback Beau Brinkerhoff, starting in place of junior Matt Marriott, completed four of eight passes for 43 yards. Coach Bob Burns liked the play of his quarterback. quarter-back. "Beau went to his third receiver on a couple of passes that were really important," Burns said. "And that's really good." Burns added that "Part of the credit would go to the offensive line, to give him time to go from primary to secondary receivers." South Summit dominated early in the game. On their second poses-sion, poses-sion, the Wildcats returned a punt 25 yards to the Park City 35-yard 3SW Quarterback Beau Brinkerhoff stays in the pocket despite a strong rush. J.V. drubbed by Wildcats, 23-0 The Park City Junior Varsity fumbled the football two times too many Thursday afternoon, dropping a 23-0 decision at home against South Summit. First half turnovers and penalties slowed down both teams, and they returned to the locker room scoreless. But turnovers caught up with Park City in the second half, when South Summit turned two Miner fumbles into touchdowns. Junior punter Eric Macintosh fumbled a high snap, and the Wildcats took posession on the Miner 20-yard line. They drove down to the Park City six, where quarterback CHAMPS!

There are 100,000 class D softball teams in the United States. The Bitchin' Boys rolled through the double-elimination tourney without losing a game.

They completed a pass on third-and-four, moving the ball to the Park City 16. South Summit quarterback Wes Leavitt kept the ball two downs later, turning the corner and rushing 12 yards for the touchdown. South Summmit missed the extra point, and led 6-0. Park City blew a chance to even the score late in the first quarter. The Miners recovered a fumble on the South Summit 6-yard line, but gave the ball back on an end zone interception. South Summit drove again early in the second quarter, using ten plays to move from their 20 to the Park City 15. But place kicker Jed Frazier missed a 22-yard field goal on 4th-and-3, and the score remained remain-ed 6-0. Park City coach Bob Burns thought his team came out flat. "We were not mentally into the ball game," he said. "It took us fourteen four-teen minutes to get involved." Park City took advantage of the next South Summit turnover. After linebacker David Guelich recovered a fumble on the Miner 41-yard line, the Park City offense came alive. Two completions to Eric Francis and an 8-yard run by Corey Francis gave the Miners a first down at the South Summit 15. Then Corey Francis got the call again, using a nice cut to get loose outside for a 15-yard touchdown run. Beau Brinkerhoff kicked the extra point, and the Miners led, 7-6. After a scoreless third quarter, the Miners used another Wildcat miscue to add to their lead. An errant er-rant snap flew over the head of the Bryan McKee took charge, sprinting with the ball wide into the corner of the end zone. The extra point gave the Wildcats a 7-0 lead. Late in the third quarter the Park City flanker made a reception, but fumbled after a hard hit. A South Summit player caught the ball and returned it nine yards to the Park City Ci-ty 16-yard line. A ten-yard run and a personal foul against Park City moved mov-ed the ball to the three. On the next down the Mckee kept the ball again, running up the middle for the touchdown. The Wildcat kicker made the conversion, and South Summit led 14-0. The Wildcats added a one-yard touchdown run and a Kober takes Labor Day softball tourney Teams from throughout Utah competed in the 17th Annual Labor Day Softball Tournament last weekend in City Park. Kober Financial of Salt Lake City cruised through the winner's bracket to play in Sunday's Sun-day's final. They met the CBQ's of Salt Lake City, who defeated the Bud Light Reds, 26-13, in the losers' bracket final. Against Cober the CBQ's scored three runs in the bottom of the seventh, taking a 9-8 win and forcing a second game. But Cober struck quickly in the second game. They sent 12 men to the plate and scored nine runs in the first inning. They buried the CBQ's, 27-16, to capture the championship. Pete Pratt from Kober was the tournament M.V.P. Ron Bell from CBQ won the home run derby, hitting four of five pitches out of the park. LABOR DAY SOFTBALL TOURNAMENT STANDINGS 1st. Kober Financial (S.L.C.) 2nd. C.B.Q. (S.L.C.) 3rd.

"Roger was really instrumental at safety, and did a good job at quarterback," Schaub said.
