Miners pound South by RANDY HANSKAT Record staff writer Using a good balance of risky option op-tion offense and stingy adjusting defense, the Park City High School football team dismantled what was thought in preseason to be one of the powers of state 1A football, South Summit, last Friday night in Kamas. The 2A Miners routed the Wildcats by the final score of 28-12 to open the Park City season. Prior to the game, the Salt Lake Tribune had South Summit ranked second in the 1A state rankings. Park City was ranked number four in the 2A poll. The win changed all that, as the Wildcats dropped to third, while the Miners rose to second se-cond in the state behind Richfield. The season opener , was not the Region Nine opener for Park City. Last week's South Summit and this week's North Summit games are basically exhibitions. Park City's 2A action begins Sept. 9 at home against Lehi. Friday night's game in Kamas was remarkably clean and well played for a season opener. Miner Head Coach Bob Burns agreed, saying say-ing "I thought it was a good way to open the season. We had very few mental and physical mistakes. Beating a team of South Summit's stature is good any time, especially to start the season." For an early season game, Burns was uncharacteristically pleased. "I thought both the offense and defense played well. The defense, in particular, par-ticular, had to make a lot of adjustments ad-justments to the South Summit offense of-fense and did. We really limited them." Burns thought the key to the game was a defensive stand after a fumbled fumbl-ed punt snap on the opening possession posses-sion of the second half. After turning the ball over, the Miner defense was faced with South Summit on the Park City 17 yard line. But the defense was up to the task, stopping if '1, ," , J0 m Hi, 1 V Justin Rino trots in on his first f. V ..... Off if' ' Rino got a lot of work at his newfound position of fullback. With the possibility of halfback Cam Hone being hurt for Friday's game, Rino could get even more work. the Wildcats on four straight plays to take back the ball. Offensively, the team is making an adjustment this season. . Last year, Rory Tatton was the Miner quarterback. Tatton possessed a powerful long range arm which was suited to a drop back, long bomb style. This year, with Tatton graduated, the quarterback job has fallen on the shoulders of Russ Mathews. Mathews has a good arm, but isn't that much of a deep threat. He is a better run and gun QB. To fit Mathews, this year Park City is running run-ning the option, from which Mathews can run, or throw short and medium passes. On the night, Park City amassed 336 yards of total offense, 200 of it on the ground. 'Justin Rino at fullback and Cam Hone at halfback accounted ac-counted for most of that. Hone had 96 yards on 15 carries, while Rino rumbled for 60 on 14 rushes. Through the air, Mathews was nine of 15 for 136 yards and one touchdown. He threw no interceptions. intercep-tions. But Miner secondary thieves weren't against stealing a few of the Wildcat passes. A total of three passes were swipped, one each by Larry Winterer, Brodie Pollard, and Steve Osguthorpe. The game opened quickly for Park City. After the Wildcats won the toss and elected to kick, the Miners came out strong. The opening drive proved fruitful, and was keyed by three plays. The first was a 20 yard scamper by Mathews on the option. The second was a 20 yard pass from Mathews to Larry Winterer. Finally, the last important im-portant play was a nine yard run by Rino for a touchdown. After a missed miss-ed point after, the score stood at 6-0 Park City. see FOOTBALL on B2 f 1 touchdown scamper. Summit 28-12 on .. ' - .A 3 VjJi If JH ' ' v j irX ' V - "- rr, .. Here they come !

Snow Hose come back from the dead in coeds by RANDY HANSKAT Record staff writer Like the ghoul from some horror movie, the Snow Hose defied the odds and came back from the dead, getting seven last at-bat runs to knock off the Dreaded Middles for the coed softball league crown Friday Fri-day night, Aug. 26 at City Park. Over on the men's side, last week decided the finalists: Team Campbell's Camp-bell's and the Farmers. The Soupy Crew upended last year's champion, the Witch Doctors, in another of the two teams' usual tight games. In the other, the Farmers plowed under the Firebugs with ease. There remains but one week in this season of softball in Park City, as the sports calendar turns to things such as football and skiing. That final week will cover the finals of the men's league, as well as the consolation game for third. Until then, let's take a gander at the last of the coed Mohicans, as the final four teams battled it out for top honors. Wednesday, Aug. 24 Coed Playoffs In the first coed semifinal, the emotional streak of the Typos came to an abrupt end when faced with the superior talent of the Dreaded Middles. Mid-dles. The Misquotes had been on an 8-1 tear in their last nine games, and had looked to be the team to reckon with in the playoffs. But this night, the team was a bit flat, one of those games when you have to rely on talent to get you through. The talent, however, gave the edge to the Middles. Mid-dles. After the Typos went down with an uptight one-two-three in the top of gridiron fx J the first, the Middles struck for two on the bats of Rich And Spoiled Rehfield, Kyle Green Acres Arnold, and Dena Head Cold Fleming. But the Misquotes came back to take the lead when Pat Oscar Meyer Werner, Bill Emily Dickson, and Matt I'm Going Madsen all scored. But then the Typos went cold, going go-ing scoreless in their next three at-bats, at-bats, due in large part to the left side of the Center infield. Whereas the Typo women hit many a ball through the left side in other contests, this night neither Cody Wan Kenobe Bonham at third nor Rich And Available Rehfield at shortstop missed much of anything, shutting down the talented lady Headlines. While holding the Typos inkless, the Gooey Centers were busy on offense. of-fense. Green Acres Arnold, Head Cold Fleming, and Wan Kenobe Bonham each scored twice to anchor a five-run third and a four-run fourth which put the Middles up 11-3 after four. ; '.. From there, the end was near, as the Misfits were flat and showed no signs of breathing life into their quotations. Only two Typos, Andy Sun Bernhard and the Hamster, had three hits on the night, both being stranded twice.
