Show 20 SPRINGVILLE HERALD Thursday, June 19, 2008 Piclded into the history books! On Tuesday, June 4, local hometown heroes, Roman Young, Ryan Burrows Bur-rows and Alec Wiscombe, set out for a taste of Olympic Olym-pic victory. Since they are nowhere near qualified for Beijing, they went for the next best thing -the Utah Summer Games. Held in Cedar City, this tournament of champions gives amateur athletes a chance to shine big. Their story began at the Sorensen RE. Building on Southern Utah University's Universi-ty's cmapus. They were competing in the pickle ball youth division. For those of you who don't know, the sport of pickle ball is a cross between tennis and ping-pong. It is played on a miniature court with wiffleballs. An oversized ping pong paddle pad-dle is used to spin, power and ace your opponent.

It was a long ride home for Young, especially car-pooling car-pooling with the other two medal heads. He had all the shots to win but couldn't capitalize. Kudos go out to him. Bronze medalist Burrows Bur-rows stated, "Our main goal was to come away with the gold, silver and bronze, and we did that. We respected the game of pickle ball and it now respects re-spects us." Pickle ball was the kick-off kick-off event for the summer games. The first medals awarded were claimed by our very own Utah County Coun-ty champions. Gold medalist Wiscombe proclaimed, "Its good to bring the trophies back to our hometown where our pickle ball days began. It wasn't easy finding places to practice in such a rough neighborhood as ours. People claimed we weren't kosher enough. We endured the hard times and it has paid off. Thank you Ben Williams and Jason Littledike for giving this underdog the brawn to contend."

It is the American dream. - Archibald MacLeish A man's country is not a certain area of land, of mountains, rivers and woods, but it is a principle; and patriotism is loyalty to that principle. - George William Curti S, ' ?' 1?
