The Wasps look advantage of the home court, and a boisterous cheering section, to oust Park City from contention with a 15-6, 16-14 victory in the first round. Park City qualified for the tournament after defeating Pine View in Richfield in three games on Oct. 27.

The Wasps called a timeout that served to break the Park City momentum and win the service back from the Miners. The teams traded a serve each before the Wasps pulled away to the 15-6 win. Things began dismally for the Miners in the second game, as Wasatch opened up a 9-1 lead in no time. Jana Zimney set Truxes for a big kill, and the next four Park City servers; Maria Mclntyre, Ashlee Watts, Truxes and Zimney rallied the Miners back into the game and a 13-9 lead.

Thirteen of the 14 kids ran their best times." The girls team "blew away their goal times," said Michelle Taylor, including Marie Roberts, third among Park City runners and 10th overall, who was more than a minute faster than her goal time and afterwards, sat on the Highland High infield saying, "I'm in shock!"

Moran all contributed big plays to the Miner comeback. A mental error on the Miner serve at 13-9 gave the ball back to Wasatch. Two dropped balls immediately let the Wasps back into the game before Moran set Cottis for a kill and a sidcout. Park City was unable to score on the serve and Wasatch tied the game at 13-13 with their next opportunity. Wasatch then served into the net to give the Miners another chance. A Wasatch carry gave the Miners their first game point but they were unable to close out the game. Wasatch then scored three straight As many Parkitcs are no doubt aware, there's been a lot of expansion going on at Deer Valley this summer. In fact, the resort is in the midst of a $3 million program designed to both add new terrain to the area and improve service to existing terrain. The biggest news is the construction of a new high-speed detachable quad chair to the north face of Flagstaff Mountain. The Northside Express will serve eight new runs on the hill, and will ultimately provide lift access to Deer Valley's planned growth to the west. The Northside Express will have the capacity to move 2,400 skiers per hour, but according to Chuck English, mountain operations manager at Deer Valley, this season will sec the lift carry about .1 iT I -jit 4 : ' AS- i " V f - , - : B . : i photos by Luke Smith Cara Wieser, 1993 Utah 3A cross country champion, at the one-mile mark of the championship race. Third-place Wasatch was 44 points back. In the boys' competition, it was once again the senior duo of Peter Chudleigh and Brad Behnke out in front for the Miners. The two switched positions from the previous week's Region meet, as Chudleigh edged Behnke in Sugarhousc Park. At the one-mile mark, one group of four runners led the rest of the field. Chudleigh was in the at 3A state points to take the game, and the match, 16-14. After the match, Miner coach Marc Laulhcre called the crowd "a big factor. I tried to call them the Miner players down, but. . ." Laulhcre felt that a win in the second game would have been enough to push the Miners over the top, and enable them to get past Wasatch in the third game. Two dropped balls and two missed serves cost the Miners their momentum and confidence and allowed the Wasps to advance. On Saturday, Park City played the Hurricane Tigers in the first match of the losers' bracket. As was the case in a tournament earlier this season, the Miners played the seemingly meaningless match in uninspired fashion. After Hurricane Soccer falls to state champion in playoff The Park City High School girls soccer team ended their 1993 season with a playoff loss to eventual 3A state champion Pine View. The score was 5-0. Coach Gary Blanton was pleased with the Miners' effort in the game and the season. Park City made the jump from being the lone 2A school to making the playoffs at the 3A level with a young team and a new coach. After watching the game film, Blanton was especially pleased with the play of the Miners early on in the game. "In the first 20 minutes, they Pine View were only on our side twice." Unfortunately, the 1,800 per hour. The lift will gain 900 feet in vertical rise over 3,800 feet in length in just under four minutes of riding time. Terrain served by the Northside Express will be "almost all intermediate except for one beginner run back to Silver Lake," said English. "I categorize it as family skiing. The kids will really like it and parents will like it too." There will also be some glade and tree skiing to keep the more hardcore skiers in the family happy. Deer Valley plans to take some of their ski lessons to the Northside area. "Ski school's going to love it up there," English said, adding the area was "a little less steep" than the intermediate runs on Bald Mountain. Snowmaking has been expanded into the Northside area, with the w r i r Si 0" second bunch of runners, in the seventh spot. Behnke was leading a third group in eighth place. By the second mile, the various groups had spread out, with Chudleigh holding on to his position in seventh place and Behnke slipping back one to ninth. Entering the track, the runners had again bunched up and Chudleigh had again joined a continued on C3 tournament pulled ahead in the first game at 6-5, the Miners were only able to pull within one before dropping the game 15-11. In the second game, Park City broke a 7-7 tie and pulled away to a 14-7 lead. The Miners couldn't finish the Tigers off, as Hurricane came right back to tie the game at 14-14. Park City had another game point at 15-14 and when they were unable to end the game, the Tigers came roaring back to a 17-15 victory. Their first year in 3A complete, the Miners now know that in terms of pure talent, they are among the elite at this level. However, the opposition is more competitive than in the past and Park City will look to shore up that facet of their game before next season. second umc proved to be costly, as an inadvertent hand-ball inside the 18-meter line against the Miners resulted in a penalty shot and goal for Pine View. A few minutes later, Pine View doubled their lead on a freak goal, and before the half made the score 3-0. Pine View added two more in the second half to close out the game. Blanton called Pine View's final three goals "beautiful plays." "I think the season went well," said Blanton. "Our record doesn't show what we accomplished. All of our Region games were tight; they could have gone cither way. "It was great." runs Mountain Daisy and Blue Bell being covered this year. Future plans call for further expansion of the snowmaking system. There's another new lift going in at Deer Valley as well. A double chair, to be known as the Snowflake lift, is located on Bald Eagle Mountain's Wide West run to serve beginning skiers and ski school classes. "It's primarily down there for beginners, children and beginning ski school students. Our major emphasis was to help with ski school." Snowflake will also take some of the pressure off the Burns lift. Deer Valley has already begun snowmaking, and construction continues on the two lifts. Other improvements, such as snowmaking and run additions, are continued on C2 |
