Show Page B2 Thursday, October 9, 1986 Park Record Spikers are still struggling The girls on the Park City High School varsity volleyball team are getting a bit frustrated at not being able to win. After losing to Grants ville last Thursday, they could have really thrown in their collective towels. Their winloss record now stands at 1-9 not exactly something to write home about. But, winning isn't everything... In the first game of the first match, the Park City girls lost to the Grantsville Cowboys, a close 9-15. The second game was even closer and more frustrating at 11-15. "We've been playing really well, it was frustrating," admits team captain cap-tain Holly Elkins. In their second match of the evening even-ing against the Cowboys, the Miners gave it their best, pushing Grantsville Grant-sville to a 17-15 score. Unfortunately, the Miners had the low end of the deal as Elkins again admitted the match could have been theirs. "It was really close, but after a conflict with the score keepers we started to lose our attitudes. It messed mess-ed us up. We tried to keep our concentration, con-centration, but we totally lost it." The girls continued to lose it as Grantsville wiped them out, 15-6, in the second game of the second match which gave a two-game win to the Cowgirls. The girls met North Summit last Tuesday, winning their first match and losing their second match of the evening. They will meet Union on Oct. 15. Both games were originally scheduled to be played in Park City High School, have been moved to Treasure Mountain Middle School due to water damage in the gymnasium gym-nasium at the high school.

The Miners are ready to continue con-tinue their quest. Our spirit explosion explo-sion shows we are the bestl They're a small group at the Park City High School. Forever making posters, baking cookies, raising spirits and leading cheers often unbeknownst to the rest of the school. The day before school began this year, the girls worked for hours preparing banners and other notices of welcome to weary-eyed first day students. During homecoming week, each was assigned a special football player who they gave special gifts to every day. At the week's end, they decorated each football players' home with a style only all their own. You can find them practicing every day after school (except Wednesdays); reciting new cheers, painting new posters and conferring on the matter of spirit. You can often find them speaking about the team. They seem to know exactly how the team is feeling and can usually tell with accuracy whether or not the team is going to win this week. They know all this because they are responsible... Responsible for the spirit of the team. Responsible for the spirit of the school. Responsible for the spirit of the crowd. At the game, they call the cheers and the crowd decides whether or not they feel like cheering. "It's a lot of hard work, but it's worth it," agree the varsity cheerleaders at Park City High School. The cheerleaders admit it helps to have a winning team. It also helps to have a good crowd. "Last Friday, the crowd was kind of a bummer," one of the girls admits, ad-mits, referring to the game against Grantsville. "It's frustrating to continue con-tinue the spirit, when the spirit is not there. "That's our theme for this year spirit explosion," says head fcno " Jin ' , nl """t 3 i Junior Varsity cheerleaders Melissa Francis, left, Stacy Eberlein, center and Kami James are trying to boost spirits at the high school.

Aside from Brigette ,the cheerleading squad are: Missie Willard, Tricia Hurd, Sharon Von Clasen, Kami James, Stacy Eberlein, Melissa Francis, and Misty Mis-ty Weems.

Whether it's cheering for victory, spirit or bananas these girls have it down. Coach of the football Miners, Bob Burns, admits the girls are a positive force behind the team. "They're the spirit body of the group. They're continuously working work-ing hard. They are very active and very appreciated," says Burns. It's difficult to attribute the winning win-ning records of both the varsity and junior varsity football teams to the men alone. Like the old saying goes: Behind every great man is an equally great... Rah. ..Rah... Rah.. .Cheer our dear old high school. Show your loyalty.

Tennis from B1 Park City's No. 2 singles player Chrissie Volla was the Park City star of the day as she was able to sweep past her first round match against Nora Lundin from Wasatch, 6-0, 6-0. She kept all the games on her side of the court in round two, defeating Rita Ogden from Grantsville with another sweep, 6-0, 6-0. ifl In the final round, Volla continued to carry the majority of the points pounding Kristen Felix of Lehi, 6-1, 6-1.. Of the three Park City players to make it into the finals, sophomore Volla was the only one to come home with a final win. Although plagued with injuries in the past few months, Carley contends con-tends that Volla has played very well and sees her filling in at the No. 1 singles spot next year. "She didn't really have any competition com-petition at state. If we had played her in the No. 1 position, she would have also been defeated by Lisa MacKay," Carley said. Also shining like a star on Satur-day Satur-day was freshman Jessie Whitesides. As Park City's No. 3 singles player, Whitesides was able to easily down Becky Robinson from Richfield 6-0, 6-0 in the first round. In round two, Whitesides played her best against the number one seed Angelica Gortumuti from Rowland Hall, beating her in a series of tiebreakers 7-5, 7-5. Jessie was finally defeated by Amy Nelson from Grantsville 6-2, 5-7,6-2. "As a freshman, Jessie played the best. For a freshman to make it all the way to state in the first place is quite an accomplishment. She just hung in there. She will be a strong No. 2 singles player for next year," Carley said. The Smith No. 1 doubles team from Park City played their first round against the number one seed at state from Grantsville and were defeated 6-0, 6-2. Becky and Katie Smith were seed ed fifth coming into the state tournamentleaving tourna-mentleaving them to face the number one seeds in the first round. After beating the Smiths, Stacy Chadwich and Jolynn Johnston went on to capture the No. 1 doubles state championship. Chadwick and Johnston finished off Shelby Shumway and Sharlyn Redd from San Juan in round two 7-6, 2-6, 6-4 and Nan Corradini and Rachel Sweet from Rowland Hall in the finals 6-2, 6-2. A Grantsville team also captured the No. 2 doubles slot with wins from Shonnie Anderson and Brooke Murray. Mur-ray. Anderson and Murray put away Janet Wilson and Kalynee Peterson from Lehi in the final round 6-1, 6-2. "Overall the girls were pleased with the way they finished," says Carley. We had quite a few seniors playing and they are going to be missed next year." Seniors on the team this year were No. 1 singles player Stefanie Elkins, the No. 1 doubles team of Becky and Katie Smith and Julie Burnett playing play-ing in No. 2 doubles.
