By ALEX WELLS Record staff writer When the Park City High School football team battled the North Summit Braves last Friday, bulk slowed speed, and speed balanced bulk. Luck helped decide the game, as the larger, slower Miners narrowly escaped with a 20-1 20-1 8 win over the Braves. The rosters tell part of the story: Park City's shows five players who weigh more than 200 pounds and 15 who weigh more than 170, while North Summit has just one player over 180 pounds and two over 170. If their roster can be believed, the Braves field one of the smallest high school football teams anywhere. But the roster doesn't show team speed, which the Braves have in abundance and the Miners lack. And it doesn't show the skills of North Summit's game-breaking quarterback, Brian Richins, who threw for two touchdowns and ran for another in a game that wasn't decided until the final play. Richins helped put the Braves ahead 12-0 early in the game, which was played under dim lights in Caolville. The mobile 162-pound senior rolled to his right and found Ashley Woolstenhulme, who had cut underneath the Park City -- Miner quarterback Aaron Graham absorbs a hit a split-second split-second before tossing touchdown pass to Jason Jellerson. Miner X-C Under new coaches, and with a number of new runners, the Park City High School cross country team is racing into another season. Michelle and Scott Taylor have taken over the team's helm from Bill Kahn, who has assumed a larger administrative role in the district. Michelle, a teacher at Park City High School, helps organize the squad's activities, while Scott, a former cross country and track letterman at Vanderbilt, oversees on-field training. The team has worked hard, thanks in part to the example set by seniors Heather Hall, Cori Smith, Jeni Marshall, Tav Streit, Matt Thomson, Peter Moran and Tom Martinez. Smith and Hall have performed well in recent years for the Park City girls team, which has finished in the top five the last two years at state meet. Streit and Thomson have been standouts for the boys teams, which have captured the state championship two of Jie last three years. Two wins at Wasatch. In their season-opening dual meet at Wasatch High School, both the boys and girls teams were victorious. The girls beat the 3A Wasps, 25 points to 30. J J. Krieger, a freshman, won the 2.7-mile race with a time of 20 minutes, 21 seconds. "She's going to do well," said Michelle Taylor., "I think she surprised a lot of the kids at Wasatch." Hall finished third, in 20:52, and sophomore Marie Roberts was fourth, in 21:41. Sara Johnson, a freshman ran fast enough (22:15) to finish eighth, and junior Teri Young (22:16) was ninth. Streit and Thomson led the boys team, which beat Wasatch 24 . points to 31.

Streit's winning time of 16 minutes, 29 seconds, was roughly nine seconds faster than that of Thomson. "Streit and Thomson are running real well," said Michelle Taylor. They've got some good goals set out-they want to be Nos. 1 and 2 at states." Brad Behnke was third, in 17:07. With his times this season running a minute to a minute-and-a-half faster than last season, Behnke, a junior, has emerged as one of Park City's best runners. Peter Moran (17:49) finished eighth and Nathan McKendrick, a junior, was 10th. Miners run at Pleasant Grove The Miners were one of two 2A teams invited to compete in the Pleasant Grove Invitational Sept. 12. No team scores were kept at that meet, in which the Miners did battle with runners from the larger 3A schools.

Muckers split matches during Labor Day trip to San Diego By DAVE SUNDQUIST Record guest writer Using money raised at the "Ides of August Clambake,M The Park City Rugby Club spent Labor Day weekend playing in San Diego, winning one match and losing another. The Muckers arrived in southern California Sept. 4, and played their first match at 5 p.m. that evening against a mixed side "The Motley Side"-- consisting of players from the Escondido Gurkhas, OMBAC and the Old Aztecs. During the three 25-minute 25-minute periods that comprised the match, the sloppy play of both sides reflected the disorganization of the event: cones instead of goalposts, estimated field dimensions and unfamiliarity with rugby's new rules. In spite of the conditions, in the first period the Muckers were able to attack and finally score, on a try by Michael "Zippy" Paul. Blair Murray made the conversion kick to give Park City a 7-0 lead. Billy Reed added to that lead by taking a quick tap off of a penalty against The Motley Side and sprinting 10 meters for a try. A missed conversion kick left the Muckers up 12-0. In the gathering darkness during the third period, only The Motley Side could score. They hit two penalty kicks to cut Park City's lead to 12-6--the final score. After a day on the beach, the Muckers returned to rugby Sept. 5. This time the team met the full Escondido Gurkhas side, on a well-appointed well-appointed field, with a knowledgeable referee. The match was evenly played, with no scoring until Billy Reed again alertly took a pass while a pair of Miners apply perssure.

As defenders closed in, Reed dished the ball to Paul Lamphier, who dove just inside the corner flag to score. Steve Creer, kicking for the injured Murray, was unable to hit conversion, leaving Park City up 5-0. As the second half opened, the Gurkhas struck back with a penalty kick and later, a try, to take an 8-5 lead. However, the Muckers answered when John Sloan caught a Gurkha kick and returned it upfield. While taking a brutal hit, Sloan was able to set the ball down in play. "Zippy Paul grubber kicked the ball into the try zone, then outran the Escondido defenders to touch it down for his second try of the weekend. Through Soccer kicks off... -V r , 1.

It 22-yard scoring run in the fourth the conversion kick was missed, Park City held a 10-8 lead. But once again, penalties would come to plague the Muckers. Capitalizing on an offsides call deep in Mucker territory, Escondido successfully made a penalty kick to retake the lead, 1 1-10, 1-10, with only 10 minutes remaining. Park City was unable to crack the Escondido defense and ended up losing by that score, giving them a split in their weekend tour of San Diego.
