"The interest in youth rugby is growing faster than any segment of the sport," said union officer Sonny Sundquist, also a member of the Muckers. "There have been some meetings about starting a youth program pro-gram in Park City and we'd be glad to help it get started. It's great for training and it would fit in well in the spring as a conditioning sport for football." Salt Lake City was chosen as the site of this year's tourney because it's the home town of defending champion Highland High School.

A rugby experiment proved successful suc-cessful for the Park City Muckers last week, even if the results weren't quite what they had hoped for. For the first time this season, the squad matched up for a midweek contest Tuesday, May 9, traveling to Logan to take on the Utah State Aggies. Ag-gies. The timing was fine, the competition com-petition fierce, but one element wasn't exactly as planned the score. The Aggies came away with a 26-23 win over Park City, avenging a season-opening loss at the hands of the Muckers. The locals played catch-up throughout the game, matching mat-ching each Aggie score but unable to overcome the final one. "We just couldn't contain their one big runner (Timo Tagaloa)," said Park City's Sonny Sundquist. "Otherwise, we showed a huge improvement im-provement on our game last Saturday Satur-day (a one-sided loss to Orem), which leads me to believe that game was just a fluke." Scoring tries for the Muckers were Peter Quinn, Ben Knutsen, Zuke Garceau and Ed Smith. Paul Carpenter added a pair of penalty kicks and Steve Creer a drop goal to round out the offensive outburst. Over the weekend, the Muckers travelled to Missoula, Mont, to participate par-ticipate in the Maggot Festival Tournament. Tour-nament. Saturday's action produced a pair of defeats a 37-0 thrashing by Bend, Ore., and a 32-0 loss to Alberta, Alber-ta, Canada. The side rebounded for a 12-10 victory vic-tory over Great Falls, Mont, on Sunday, Sun-day, however, behind a Creer penalty penal-ty kick with only 30 seconds remaining remain-ing in the game. Scoring a try for Park City was Quinn. lOO'lOfWWclCPVC Carte Umlwtini Imtrtt SPECIAL 7lxM (fill 72"optning) M9v.nyl$79f.br.c CMtMiVbiri PLEATED SHADES .A-Fr.mt SI"'LT?.

Park City's Teryl Brennan (right) played an integral part for the team's defense this season. It had to end sooner or later, but as far as the Park City High School girls soccer team was concerned, the season could have gone one more game. The Miners hopes of getting into the 2A championship game were cut short Tuesday with a 4-0 loss to Waterford in Provo. During the regular season the two teams split a pair of closely-contested games and were vying for the chance to meet unbeaten Rowland Hall in today's title ti-tle contest. "Waterford just played outstanding," outstan-ding," said Miner coach Gail McBride. "It's kind of a shame for us to end such a good season like this, but we just came apart emotionally." emo-tionally." That breakdown followed a tough call that came late in the first half with Park City trailing 1-0. Miner goalie Marissa Zuchetto fell on a loose ball in front of the net, and was virtually tackled by a Waterford player. The blow knocked the ball free, in easy position for a trailing player to pop it in for the score. Further frustration resulted when Zuchetto had to be removed from the game after being injured in the assault. "At that point we lost our composure," com-posure," said McBride. "We needed to channel our aggression into the game, but rather than handle it constructively, con-structively, we just fell apart." Two second half goals sealed the victory for Waterford. Also hampering the Park City girls' playoff bid was a inopportune series of injuries. Missing from Tuesday's game were starters Megan Holcomb, Katie Coletti and Carey Mullane. Another early-season early-season starter, Andrea Ruzika, saw her first action in weeks after sustaining sus-taining an injury a few games ago and Teryl Brennan played despite being hobbled by shin splints. The Miners finished the season with a 7-3 record. 5 P Q UlUUUUUUUUUUWUtJO ri tt M tt iHMLiUUUU Every Sunday 4-7 p.m. $5.00 AH You Can Eat Barbeque on the Sundeck 7-CIOSO Jam Night ALSO THIS SUMMER Wed Easy to swallow prices ail night long rlThurs. s Ladies night ill EH ipn ii iii i ij ,1 adba ilill jj I Jj IJl I llafflhc 1, JEiE!0J JiS!
