Show Page B2 Thursday, May 8, 1986 Park Record Soccer team wins three gamefs, qualifies for league tourney by KURT KIDMAN Record staff writer Duchesne may have been just the cure for whatever ailed the Park City Ci-ty High School soccer club. Going into the April 30 non-region game with Duchesne, the Miners had been struggling. Their region and their overall records were below .500 and Coach Jess Schaub just couldn't get any momentum going. Thanks to Duchesne the Miners now have momentum. They beat the Eagles 6-0. "Duchesne was real inexperienced; inexperienc-ed; they are really just developing the program over there," Schaub said. "But the game gave everyone on our team a chance to play, although our defense was a little bit bored because the ball was in our third of the field only once or twice. We were able to work on our passing game and our offense a lot." Manoel Da Silva scored four goals for Park City, Scott Richardson got the other two and Greg King had three assists. The Miners then had a big region contest against Lehi at home May 2. A loss to Lehi might have taken Park City out of contention for the four-team four-team region post-season tournament. tourna-ment. At half time the score was tied 1-1, with Da Silva scoring for Park City. His second goal of the game put Park City up 2-1. With four minutes left in the match Lehi tied the score at 2-2. But less than two minutes later Da Silva scored again to give the Miners the 3-2 victory. "I think that the momentum our offense picked up in the Duchesne game carried over to the Lehi game," Schaub said. "We had a lot of good passes which led to some good shots on goal. Also, our shot selection was very good. We took better shots and we took them quicker. We had a lot of opportunities, oppor-tunities, and I wouldn't have been surprised if we had gotten five or six goals." The Miners had a game scheduled with St. Joseph for May 5, but St. Joseph forfeited. Apparently a rash of injuries and academic probations has rendered St. Joseph short of players. The game will go into the books as a 1-0 Park City win. I W'Y '- (Ms.)' : - -, f J, I ' "- - x :iA . 4 - i l . , - : ' ' . ) Park City's Manoel Da Silva celebrates his third goal in big region match against Lehi. Da Silva's goal, with less than two minutes left in the game, gave PCHS a 3-2 win. That means Park City now has a three-game winning streak. The Miners' overall record is now 6-4-2, and their region record is 4-3-2. The win over Lehi and the forfeit victory over St. Joseph mean that Park City will be in the post-season tournament tourna-ment which begins May 12. However, the Miners won't know who their first round opponent is, or on which neutral field the game will be played, until after the games scheduled for May 9. "We play a big game with Rowland Hall Friday (3:30 p.m. at the PCHS field)," Schaub said. "We beat them 1-0 earlier in the year on their field, but I was happy to get out of there with the victory. I hope our momentum carries us in that game. I'd like to go into the playoffs with a winning streak." Schaub isn't too worried about his defense; it's the Miner offense that concerns him. "We've been giving up one or two goals a game and I think that is all I can ask for," he said. "Our problem is sometimes we aren't getting the three or four goals we need to win. It's not for a lack of trying or a lack of chances. We always get plenty of shots but we just aren't always getting get-ting enough goals. "Now is the time to put it all together. We have had plenty of time to be together all year long. Starting Friday we play three games in six days to finish our season. The chips are down. It is time to do it." CHIROPRACTIC OUTLOOK By Donald A. Cofer, D.C. HOW CHIROPRACTIC HELPS YOU Chiropractic deals primarily with the relationship between the nervous system and spinal column. Your chiropractor manually adjusts your spinal column so nerve transmission from brain to all body parts can flow unblocked. Without normal nerve transmission, your body cannot be healthy in all segments and organs. Your health status is carefully assessed at your first exam. Your chiropractor uses physical palpation of your spine by hand, instrumentation, laboratory diagnostic tests or X-ray to complete a chiropractic diagnosis of your problem. Treatments include manual adjustments to realign vertebrae (spinal bones) into proper position to restore spinal integrity. Nutritional therapy, exercise, and improved living habits may also be recommended.

The top pick from the Beehive State was Brigham Young University quarterback Robbie Bosco. A year ago, Bosco was touted as one of the top picks in the entire draft, but injuries caused some concern during his senior year. As a result, he wasn't taken until the third round. The Green Bay Packers picked Bosco with the 76th choice overall. Packer head coach Forrest Gregg said after the draft that Bosco had a real good shot at making the team. The next local player to go was the University of Utah's record breaker, Er-roll Er-roll Tucker. The quick little defensive back, who set national records in punt and kickoff returns, was taken by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the fifth round. Tucker may not step into the starting Steeler defensive backfield, but he will probably be used to return kicks this season to take some of the pressure off Pittsburgh's star receiver, Louis Lipps. BYU linebacker Leon White was taken in the fifth round by Cincinnati, and then Utah State University had its first player drafted wide receiver Solomon Miller, who went to the New York Giants in the sixth round. Another Aggie went in the seventh round when the Packers took defensive back Ed Berry. The second Ute was taken in the eighth round, the 200th pick overall, when the New Orleans Saints tabbed linebacker Filipo Mokofisi. Thirteen Thir-teen picks later, the Washington Redskins picked Cougar linebacker Kurt Gouveia. " The rest of the Utah collegiates taken in the draft all played for BYU. They are Cary Whittingham, linebacker, by Cincinnati in the ninth round; Vai Sikahema, running back, by the St. Louis Cardinals in the 10th round; Glen Kozlowski, wide receiver, by the Chicago Bears in the 11th round; and Jeff Sprowls, defensive back, by the San Diego Chargers in the 12th round. The draft wasn't the only activity going on in Utah last week. Two players each from the Utah Jazz and the Salt Lake Golden Eagles gained post-season honors. Jazz forward Karl Malone was named to the all-rookie team, and center Mark Eaton was named to the all-defensive team. For the Golden Eagles, Scott MacLeod and Brent Sapergia were both named nam-ed to the International Hockey League's All-Star team. Both BYU and the U. of U. baseball seasons ended last week. Both teams took to the road for games in San Diego and Hawaii late in the season and both found out just how tough winning on the road in the Western Athletic Conference Con-ference can be: each lost enough games to be eliminated from postseason play. Being knocked out was particularly tough on the Cougars because early in the season they were ranked among the top 20 teams in the nation. Weber State College didn't have any football players drafted last week, but the school's tennis team did very well. The Wildcats won the Big Sky Tennis Tournament last weekend. Eight isn't enough, Silver Kicks lose Eight players wasn't enough Saturday as the Park City Silver Kicks women's soccer team lost a painful 1-0 decision at Hill Air Force base, one of two losses during the week. The Park City squad only had eight players to begin the game Saturday, but according to Silver Kicker Mona Cotter the Kicks should have won the game. "We had the ball the whole second half of the game," moaned Mona. "I think our goalie only touched the ball once in the entire second half. We should have won even with eight players because we were better than them. They stalled a lot in the se- cond half which really made us mad." Things didn't get any easier for the Silver Kicks as they played one of the best teams in the league, Pan World, May 5, in Park City and lost 6-0. "It was not so good," Cotter said simply. "We don't have a full team this year and they (Pan World) are really organized. They just passed around us." . The Silver Kicks will continue playing at home on May 12 at 6:45 p.m. against Allemania. "I really think If we get a whole team we'll win on Monday," Cotter said. "I'd like to win one just to see what it feels like." |
