Union High School of Roosevelt and Uintah High School of Vernal have been rivals for years. The two teams are only 28 miles away from each other. The Utes and Cougars were members of the Claw 0 category for years and years. The games really meant something back then as a l4 by either team could krrp one of the crews from taking part in the state tournament. In the sport of football Uintah and Union usually played each Other twice and the games were a major factor in the region champion ship race. The UO tkdhall teams many limes had fame in January.

Uintah It h Sthl ht pUv4 Union in the second game of the season in December and the Uintah-Union Uintah-Union hot war was over after only two weeks of action. There weren't any exciting Union-Uintah battles to look forward to in January, February and March. Games with Provo, Timpview, Pleasant Grove, Springville, Spr-ingville, Spanish Fork, Payson and Carbon were the only games left for the Ute fans. Union High School's rivalry is a lukewarm one now because the games with Uintah aren't for all the region marbles any more. The Cougars' big rivals now are region opponents Wasatch in Heber City and Morgan High School. Wasatch is 97 miles away from Roosevelt, which is a long distance between rivals. Schools within one to 30 miles of each other makes for an old fashion hot rivalry. East, West, South, Highland and Granite in Salt Lake City have been rivals for many years, but now South and West are 3-A teams and Highland, East and Granite are 4-A crews. East and West still have a hot time in the old town when it comes to basketball, football and other sports, but now a days a loss isn't a factor in the state tournament bids. The EastWcst and Uintah-Union rivalries are now of the "So What" kind because a win or a Iom doesn't mean a thing In the region standmp and state tournament hopes.

The Class B was split into two classes to give small teams a shot at a state tournament title. The 1-A class contains the smaller schools and the other classes are 2-A, 3-A and 4-A. Union High School is a member of the 2-A class. Uintah is a 3-A school and Duchesne, Altamont and Ta-biona Ta-biona are 1-A schools. Union, Duchesne, Altamont and Tabiona are in a class with schools that are similar in size. Monticello, Gunnison, North Summit and South Summit have cleaned up on 1-A state championship cham-pionship titles. Gunnison and South Summit were doormats in the Class B, but they are top teams now in the 1-A. Duchesne, Altamont and Tabiona haven't dominated the 1-A scene like other schools. The only state championship cham-pionship since the new class was formed was a state wrestling championship cham-pionship by Duchesne. The Eagles, Longhorns and Tigers have placed in slate basketball tournaments, but h3ve never won the top prize. Duchesne has competed in a number of 1-A state football playoffs. How ever, the Eagles failed to win the state title. Union and Uintah went to many state tournaments in the sport of basketball in the Ios, but had only one slate championship by Uintah in 13G7.
