Show Appreciation from wrestling coach Dear Editor: I would like to publically thank everyone whose support helped Uintah High School have another successful wrestling season. As their coach, I would first like to congratulate the wrestlers on being gentlemen as well as champions. They are a great bunch of kids and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to coach them. To Monty Lee and Leon Smuin, the two coaches who helped us win our 14th State Wrestling Championship, Cham-pionship, I would like to express my sincere appreciation. 'v Also, thanks to the parents of the wrestlers for their constant encouragement en-couragement and support. Many of our parents didn't miss a match this year and I want them to know how much this means to the team. The cheerleaders, pep club, and students of Uintah High School were faithful again this year in providing the Uintah Utes with the largest and noisiest crowd in the state. This support really psychs up the wrestlers and we really appreciate it. Superintendent Heid, Principal Bill Caldwell, and many Uintah High School faculty members have helped us and supported us in every way possible. Besides coming to our matches, they helped in running tournaments and have made it possible for our team to compete in several fine tournaments. The business community of Vernal is always ready to back our team in any way and this is very appreciated by all of us. They support us in person and financially. I hope to see each merchant mer-chant and personally thank them. Thanks to KVEL for their coverage of the matches in both the Region and StatcTournament. This coverage takes much extra effort ond It is a great service. Thanks to Allen White and Brent Feltch. To Aldon Ruchello of the Vernal Express, I would like to say that you arc the finest sports editor In Utah and you really go the extra mile to make ' sure that the kids get the coverage they deserve.

Having the crowd support was very important again this year as the boys were wrestling at Stale. Our fans have to travel the furthest, yet we again had the lxst and most enthusiastic en-thusiastic crowd. Thanks so much! Sincerely, CHUCK HENRY |
