Show Brady Paces Rowdies To Soccer Victory Thursday, November 15, 1979 Beavers-Dam Miner Offense It ST 'ft-MV V, i'XU J TV ft 2 1 1 1 - f frsir la miL jr Quarterback B.J. Tatomcr rolls out against Beaver The Park High Miners carried the school's football " banner "further than any team in recent memory this season but that banner was rudely trampled Saturday by Beaver's all-state tailback Kelley Smith. Smith accounted ac-counted for all of his team's points in a 31-6 win over the Miners in Fillmore, sending the Beavers on to the 1-A championship game against South Summit this Saturday. The Miner offense had very little success against the aggressive Beaver defense and their only score came on a nine-yard pass from quarterback quar-terback B.J. Tatomer to Jim Higham after Beaver mishandled mis-handled a punt snap. "They're an awesome team, big and fast," Park City coach Bob Burns said after the game. "I thought Smith would be a back who would go outside but I didn't think he would be as strong as he was." On one six-yard gain, the 5-foot-ll, 170-pound senior tailback broke seven tackles, four behind the line of scrimmage. "We played well defensively, defensive-ly, but not great," Burns commented. "We didn't block well on offense and maybe we should have passed earlier. Because we were unable to establish a running game, the defense was on the field a great deal of the time." Perfect Day The outcome of the game might not have been ideal but the weather was. It was a perfect autumn day and the biggest crowd to see Park City this season turned out at Millard High to watch the 1-A semifinal contest. And among the mass of spectators specta-tors surrounding the field was a large contingent of Miner fans who had made the long trip to Fillmore. Park City received the opening kickoff and was immediately put on notice that the Beaver defense would be tough. Unable to move the ball in three downs, they punted and Beaver returned the ball to Park City territory. But after picking up a first down, the Beavers fumbled and the Miners had the first break of the game. Starting from their 29, the Miners lost five yards on the next three plays and were forced to punt again. The Beavers took over at the Park City 41 and runs by Smith and fullback Todd Plumb gave them a first down at the 31. Quarterback Mark Fuller then faked a handoff to Plumb and gave the ball to the trailing Smith up the middle. Smith broke several tackles and was not stopped until he reached the end zone. The senior tailback then kicked the extra point to give Beaver a 7-0 lead with 5 : 25 left in the first quarter. Blocked Punt After the two teams traded punts, Park City had possession posses-sion at their 28. Kip Foote went over the right side for ' five yards and Mark Uriarte, shedding tacklers, added another five for a first down. On second and ten, the Miners fumbled but recovered re-covered and Tatomer then gained six yards on a quarterback keeper. Short of a first down, the Miners faced another punting situation situa-tion early in the second quarter. The snap from center was errant and Marty Cowin's kick was blocked, giving Beaver the ball at the Miner five-yard line. On first down, Smith burst up the middle for this second touchdown of the game and then added the extra point. Dave Eley returned the kickoff to the Miner 26 and Park City mounted a thrust into Beaver territory. With Uriarte, picking up most of the yardage on runs and screen passes, Park City moved to the Beaver 41. But on fourth and one, an option pitch to Foote lost a yard and the drive was halted. With the ball carrying chores being handled by Smith and Plumb, Beaver marched to the Park City 13 in eight plays. Most of the yardage was picked up on a 19-yard run up the middle by Plumb and a 13-yard gain on the same play by Smith. On third and five at the 13, an attempted screen pass to Smith fell incomplete as the Miner defense mounted heavy pressure on quarterback quarter-back Fuller. In fact, if there was any weakness in the Beaver attack, it was their passing. When they attempted at-tempted to go to the air, Fuller was either hurried or sacked by the Miners. On third down, Fuller handed to Smith, who plowed into a mass of humanity. Crunching into the line, the tailback was stacked up but , Photo: Seaton Prince Photo: Seaton Prince managed to break the plane of the goal line for the touchdown. The conversion was good and Park City was staring at a 24-0 deficit. The Miners touched the ball for the first time in the second half with only 4:46 left in the third quarter. After Foote's kick return to the Park City 32, Beaver held and Cowin dropped back to punt. The snap was poor but Cowin was able to get the kick away. Two plays later, Cowin sacked Fuller for a loss and another sack forced the Beavers to kick the ball away. And kick it they did. The line of scrimmage was at the Beaver 31 and Smith's punt traveled all the way to the Park City two. Miner Touchdown But again the Miners could not move the ball and Beaver regained possession at their own 41 as the final period got underway. Fuller was sacked on a first down pass attempt and left the game with an injured leg. His replacement, Burton Myers, had no better success and Beaver went into punt formation. for-mation. The snap was mishandled by Smith and Park City had their first scoring opportunity oppor-tunity of the game. On first down at the nine-yard line, Tatomer dropped back to pass and spotted Higham on a post pattern. The ball was behind the receiver but Higham reached back for an excellent grab in front of Smith for the touchdown. The two-point conversion failed but Park City avoided a shutout. Minutes later, the Miners again found themselves deep in Beaver territory. The Beavers were unable to move after receiving the kickoff and a bad punt snap gave the ball to Park City at the Beaver 47. A Tatomer pass to Dave Eley was good for a first down at the 22. The quarterback was almost al-most sacked on the next play but managed to get the ball away for an incompletion. After he failed to connect on a screen pass to Uriarte, Tatomer tried for a fourth down touchdown toss into the end zone. The pass was intercepted by Marshall and Park City's last chance to get back into the ball game was snuffed. The Miners again held but Smith's punt was fumbled by Continued On Page 6 Paced by Tony Brady's four-goal performance, the Park City Rowdies raced past an inexperienced Ogden squad 7-0 at the high school qn Saturday. jTaking advantage of the rjiiddle ol the Ogden defense, l&rady registered three goals Before anyone else had a qhance to score. After the middle striker gave Park City a 3-0 advantage, Garry Moore added another goal before the half. Also playing middle striker, Moore took a shot on goal from 20 yards out that was rejected by the Ogden goalie. But he followed the shot and boomed in the rebound for the score, making it 4-0 at halftime. The Rowdies' halfbacks began asserting themselves as the second half got underway. Pat Carley recorded re-corded his fifth goal of the season and Herman Stui-venvolt, Stui-venvolt, who usually plays fullback, scored on an excellent excel-lent 40-yard breakaway. With Park City leding 6-0, Brady scored the game's final goal, his eighth of the season. Miners Fizzle At State Despite great expectations, Park High's volleyball season sea-son ended with a whimper, not a bang, Saturday in the state 1-A tournament. The Miners took an impressive impres-sive 7-1 regular season record into the competition and started auspiciously beating Panguitch in two straight games, 15-4. 15-6, in the opening round Saturday morning. But it was downhill from there. Unable to muster the strong play that won them the Region Eleven championship, cham-pionship, the Miners fell to Viute in three games. After dropping the first game, they rebounded for a win only to lose the crucial third encounter. en-counter. "Nothing was working for us against, Piute," assistant coach Paul Becker said. "We just weren't playing our game." Out of the running for the title but still in contention for fourth place, the Miner's next opponent was Green River, the defending 1-A champion. Again it took three games but again Park City lost. Green River thumped the Miners 15-5 in the opening game. This set up a third-game third-game showdown that observers ob-servers felt would be a close, hard fought struggle. It wasn't. Green River flowed to an easy 15-2 victory and the tournament was over for Park City. Despite disappointment over the team's performance Saturday, Becker expressed pride in the season's accomplishments. accom-plishments. ! "This was our best season ever.
