"If you ask me who we're playing the next week or the next month, chances are I won't know. I guess I figure no matter who we play, my game plan is the same." Wood said that since she has played with WSU, the team has always had a tough Basement continued from page 4 non-conference schedule. She said she prefers a tough non-conference schedule because she thinks it best prepares them for their conference. She also said she likes playing tougher teams because, the better the team, the better soccer they will play. "There are a lot of teams in college that may not have the skill or the soccer part down," Wood said. "However, they come out and knock you around and play kickball. I have a lot more respect for teams that come out and play soccer." The Wildcats' first home game is on August 19, when they will face off against the Utah State University Aggies. people, whether you like the music or not," Nielson said.

Sweden's victory closed out the group play and ended the U.S.' 18-game winning streak in group play. The U.S. outshot Sweden 209, but Sweden's goalkeeper, Hedvig Lindahl, made several saves to keep the U.S.' efforts pointless. The U.S. went into the quarterfinals in second place in Group C. Now if the No. 1 seat getting beat by Sweden has not enticed you enough to sit and watch a game, then let me point out a few things ESPNW's Joanne C. Gerstner suggested to look for in the Women's World Cup. First, look for the state of the superpowers; keep an eye on how Germany, Sweden and the U.S. do in the quarterfinals. They have been the top dogs for years. Second, watch how the home-country pressure has placed Germany in a unique position. They are the twotime defending champions playing on home soil. Third, watch the injuries list and which key athletes will be benched because of those injuries. And finally, watch how the style of game play has changed over the years. Now, not only technique is important, but you also have to have a flow and some creativity to be successful and win. I know that the Women's World Cup might not take precedence over a Yankees or Red Sox game, but take a minute to watch it. You might be surprised at how intense the game can get. The semifinal matches are on July 13 and the final is on July 17. Maybe Team USA can come home on top.

The finals of the Women's World Cup are approaching the last stages. On Saturday, the final eight teams played in their quarterfinal games. The teams were Germany, France, Brazil, England, Japan, Australia, Sweden and the United States. The United States has had quite the ride in this tournament. It was ranked No. 1 going into the tournament, and has been doing a good job defending that ranking. The U.S. started out on a strong note, with two victories against both Korea and Columbia. Sweden then came and beat them with a Francisco continued from page 6 tight ends in. I'll be all right. I'll fit in just fine." McBride said that, as a coach, it's always fun to see players excel and get drafted. "You like to see them have a chance to have a future in the game," McBride said, "and it's great for them to be good enough to do that." Francisco is the 29th Wildcat to be drafted into the CFL. He said that, following the completion of his final season with WSU, he will join Hamilton. "I'm playing for Weber State this season," Francisco said. "After that, I'll probably get into negotiations about actually signing for the team and all that." Comment on this story at wsusignpost.com. basementmusic.com.

"They're willing to put bands no one has ever heard of on the bill. Without medium-sized venues like The Basement, bands like us wouldn't have a chance to survive." ; "In the million-dollar home we walked through, there was the theater room and the padded exercise room, and even in the deco j rating, the huge stone fireplace," Shepherd said. "We liked looking at it, but it seemed unnecessary." A few of the homes have large home theaters decked out with ' recliners, and some have four- or five-car garages. One South Ogden home had a pool house that was itself as big as some of the smaller houses on the tour. Tours through Ogden, Weber and Davis Counties are now finished, but the 2011 Salt Lake Parade of Homes will run from July 29 to August 14, and will feature a full-scale replica of the floating balloon house: from the Pixar movie Up.

"Every night there's 30 or 40 of them in the audience in little Cinderella or Belle outfits. It's darling to see." After the performance, all the girls would rush out to a set area in the lobby where the designated Cinderella and Prince Charming of the night awaited to meet and take pictures with as many of the children who desired it. "When the audience comes out, it feels just like we're in Disneyland," Stratton said. "They just want to take a picture and hug Cinderella. I love seeing their reaction. It's like one of their dreams came true, being able to meet the princess. It makes my whole night." The show became an ironic reunion for the A-cast couple Hansen and Stratton, who knew each other in high school. After spending the summer as a prince, Stratton will become a Wildcat for his freshman year at Weber State University, continuing his education for his goals as a math teacher. Hansen, also a WSU student, is getting married four days after the show closes. This is her last show with the Terrace, since she'll be moving as well, but she said she is happy that Cinderella was the last show she got to do before departing. "Watching theater when I was little and watching Disney movies, you always want to meet those princesses," Hansen said. "Seeing the faces the little girls make when they see.you or your giving them a hug is priceless. I loved doing the show, and ifs made me more excited to get married and have that fairytale happy ending come true for me." Cinderella closes at the playhouse on July 30. The next featured show is the comedy Lend Me a Tenor, which runs from August .12 to Sept. 17. Interested parties can call 801-393-0070 for searing reservations.
