"BdkRSbjxL PARK CITY, UTAH High School Sports Report Boosters host banquet - DAVE FIELDSPARK RECORD Heather Strevay presents Bill Kahn with a gift from the team during Monday's sports banquet. by Dave Fields OF THE RECORD STAFF Monday night's Park City High School Spring Sports Banquet was a time for athletes and coaches to reminisce about the season gone by and give individual recognition that so many of the school s athletes sacrifice sac-rifice during the season. The spring sports season was filled with amazing stories and achievements. Freshman Matt McMillan was given his varsity letter let-ter Thursday after catching for the baseball team this season. His participation par-ticipation certificate also bore the gold and red symbol meaning McMillan maintained a 3.5 GPA or better this year as well. Stale tennis champion Jon Birch was recognized for accomplishing what only two other tennis players have done in Utah win the championship cham-pionship all four years of high school. Through 107 innings, softball player Morgan Pohtilla's batting average was .429 impressive on any field. Dave Jensen, a member of the No. 1 region and stale runner-up track team . was recognized for his second state discus title. One of the most amazing stories of Thursday night was about the soccer team. The state runner-up for the second straight year had an 11-1 record in region. 13-2 in postseason post-season and posted nine shutouts. In 15 games, the soccer team allowed only nine goals and scored 43. The banquet, which was held at the Yarrow Hotel, was also a time for athletes to show their appreciation apprecia-tion to the coaches. After the head coaches made their presentations to the players, a few players from each team took time to thank the coaches coach-es and present them with gifts. Some were goofier than others. The boy's track team gave coach Jeff Schwalbe a box of donuts in hopes of getting a co-ed bus next season. Assistant baseball coach Tyler Nelson was presented with a horn and speakers for his mountain bike, which he uses more than his car. But the gifts were not all gags. Many of the coaches' wives were given flowers because "we sent coach home pretty mad sometimes." some-times." as one baseball player put it. The soccer team presented Julian Martinez with a Nike soccer ball on a beautiful wooden base. Each of the players signed his name and number on a panel of the ball. But the most common thanks went to the high school booster club, which provided financial, emotional and nutritional support for the team. Whether it was fixing dinner for the team or making sure they had buses for a road trip, the boosters stood by the teams and each and every coach expressed his or her sincere gratitude. The booster club also took some time to announce the new officers for next year. The new president is Gayle Evans, vice president-Chris Wilson. secretary-Debbie Moser, treasurer-Toby Tolpinrud and members at large-Rick and Laurie Provost, and Debbie Reid.

Drop Shots By Warren Pretorius Head tennis professional, PC Racquet Club The MVP in doubles The most important player on the court in a doubles dou-bles game is not the server or returner. Although they play the vital role of getting the first ball into play for each team, their job descriptions are pretty much laid out for them. You can tell a good doubles player by how he plays the returner's partner (RP) position the most important role on a good doubles team. This is a player that has to start the point way out of position, right in the middle of "no-man's land." But the RP plays an extremely important role once the point is in play: the serving team has the advantage by starting start-ing the point in an offensive manner. The server's partner stands close up to the net, and the server has the ability to control how the point starts. If the server hits a good serve, his team is in "High Attack Mode," looking to put the ball away. A good RP recognizes this, and retreats immediately immediate-ly to the baseline. But, and this is critical, never move while an opponent is in the act of hitting. No matter where he is positioned on the court, the RP should split-step as his opponent makes contact with the ball. By doing this, the RP ensures optimal balance bal-ance for returning the ball from his "hot seat." If the return is a good one, it is the RP who establishes the most effective offense for the returning return-ing team: he should close into the net on all deep, crosscourt returns when the server stays back, and on all low crosscourt returns hit to a serve-and-volleyer. The RP should also try to use good returns as an opportunity to poach across for the easy put-away. A good returner's partner is always dynamic, on his toes, lively, physically and mentally anticipating every ball to be hit at him, and looking to make things happen for his team. Flat-footed, low energy, "spectator RPs," are good for only one thing on the court a target. POOR 'JLA |
