But try telling that to the five Scots who were pinned by Miners and the two others who lost in decisions. Because the Park City team is lacking wrestlers to fill the heavyweight heavy-weight and 215-pound classifications, classifica-tions, the points for those two uncontested matches went to Ben Lomond as did the win 42-39. "Match for match, we beat Ben Lomond by nine points," said Park City coach Travis Crittenden. We gave up some points to them, which is unfortunate ... we need some big guys." From a technical standpoint, Park City's wrestlers performed better than in last week's quad meet with Morgan, South Summit and Wasatch, according to Crittenden. And the proof is in the pins. Starting with freshman wrestling newcomer Ryan Blake in the 103-pound 103-pound class, Park City rolled to an impressive list of pins and wins by decision. Before being stunned by a South Summit wrestler last week, Blake had never wrestled competitively. competi-tively. In his match Wednesday, his fourth match ever, Blake pinned his opponent. In the 112-pound class, newcomer newcom-er John Beck couldn't make it a Park City streak but lasted well, according to his coach. "John's coming along quite well," the coach added. Wrestling in the 119-pound class was another newcomer, Jeremy Onysko who lost his match but is showing quick improvement. "They have a lot of learning to do and they're coming on quite Jr ' V 'I SCOTT SINEPARK RECORD Park City senior Aaron Wartena holds his opponent to the mat Wednesday for a pin in the 160-pound weight classification. fast," Crittenden said of Onysko and Beck. Last year's state competitor, junior jun-ior Sam Sneed, earned Park City's second pin of the day in the 125-pound 125-pound classification. John Schulthies beat the 130-pound 130-pound Scot by decision in what coach Crittenden considered his best performance thus far in the season despite having a hurt neck. "I thought he wrestled the best I've ever seen him wrestle," Crittenden said of Schulthies. "I thought he was very courageous to come out and do what he did." Justin Clark, wrestling in 135, earned a first-round pin on the new wrestling mats in the Park City High School gymnasium. An impressive crowd at the high school watched Luke Hanley win his match in 140 because of mid-match mid-match forfeiture. Twin brothers Dan and Matt Rich, wrestling in 145 and 152 respectively, split Wednesday against Ben Lomond. Dan Rich faced an opponent who placed in last year's state wrestling competition competi-tion and Dan "wrestled tough," the coach said. On the other hand, Matt Rich came away from the match with a pin. Senior Aaron Wartena was the winner in the 160-pound class thanks to a commanding pin. Wrestling in the , 171-pound class, Josh Vanderveur came up against an older and more experienced experi-enced opponent but "lasted quite well." "He's doing a good job," the coach added. Park City Quentin Nelson "wrestled as aggressively as I've ever seen him," in the 189-pound class, but lost, according to the coach. Park City hosts Timpanogos Tuesday.

Park City girls' basketball team leads but loses by Dave Fields OF THE RECORD STAFF The Park City High School girls' basketball team stunned 4-A East High Tuesday with an oppressive 3-2 zone defense that held the Leopards to five points in the first quarter. As East adjusted to the scrappy defense and the young Park City team tired, the Lady Miners' first-quarter first-quarter 9-5 lead vaporized as East rallied for 20 second-quarter points in the PCHS gymnasium. "We were doing great because of the defense we were playing," said coach John Bartleson. The past tense "were" stems from a tough third quarter and a final score of East 48, Park City 41. Even though the Leopards pressed almost the entire game, Park City ran the floor well. The troubles arose from poor inbounds passing and less aggressive defense. The Lady Miners also struggled with blocking in the middle portion of the game after executing well in the first quarter, according to Bartleson. Park City's Allison Earnshaw had 12 points against East. Amy Schofield finished the game with 11 points, six in the fourth quarter. "Amy had a great game," said Bartleson. "She made her freethrows and had few turnovers." "There were a lot of positive things out there," the coach added, "especially when you consider we only have one returning starter." One of those positives was a 15-point 15-point fourth quarter by Park City, compared to 12 from East. Starting the season 0-3 is not what the coach or players had in mind but Bartleson said the only game that was not winnable was last week's contest against the West High Panthers. , Park City's accuracy from the charity stripe improved significantly against East but is not where the coaching staff would like. Out of 23 trips to the line, the Lady Miners made 11(48 percent). Ideally, the coaches would like to see that percentage per-centage closer to 60.

Scorers-Allison Earnshaw, 12; Amy Schofield, 11; Ashleigh Olsen, 6; Samantha Sheldon, 2; Amanda Smith, 1; Brittany Esty, 2; Ryan Tolpinrud, 3. JV struggles with East From a coach's perspective, the Park City girls' JV team's 46-15 loss to East was not as bad as the score may look. "All around, we didnt look that bad in the JV game," said Bartleson, By the numbers, however, Park City struggled. The Lady Miners shot 6-for-41 from the field and were held to five points in the first half. "We just cant throw the ball in the ocean," said the coach. Jen Joseph was the top Park City scorer Tuesday with four points. Scorers-Marie Fournier, 2; Anne Beck, 1; Jen Joseph, 4; Candice Lukenbach, 3; Sam Sheldon, 2; Amanda Smith, 2; Ryan Tolpinrud, Freshmensophomore: ouch Park City varsity basketball coach John Bartleson had only one thing to say about the freshmensophomore team's 55-8 loss to East: The Lady Miners, many of whom are playing basketball for the first time this year, are facing opponents that have played hoop throughout seventh and eighth grade. Bartleson does not blame the girls or their coaches; it's a matter of experience. Scorers-Erin Evers, 2; Brittany Elmer, 2; Jennifer Fields, 1; Gerita Kutcher,3. A first: Garden Christian Academy sports A girls' volleyball team for seventh- and eighth-graders kick started the new sports program at Carden Christian Academy. Carden won its first volleyball game (12-15, 15-7, 15-3) against Ecker Hill and then dropped the second match 7-15, 8-15. "Not only did (the volleyball program) give us a chance to begin a sports program, but it really brought our middle school girls together," said Don Knapp of Carden. "It fostered friendship, school pride and discipline." Carden's second foray into local sports consisted of a sixth-grade sixth-grade boys' basketball program that also features a few fifth-graders. fifth-graders. The first game of the season, sea-son, was a 16-12 victory over Treasure Mountain Middle School. With two players out of town, Carden lost its second game to Ecker Hill 43-18. In addition to facing Ecker and Treasure Mountain again, Carden will play North Summit and possibly possi-bly Salt Lake Christian Academy. "Again, the benefits we are gaining as a school are far more than just playing," said Knapp. "The boys are beginning to understand under-stand teamwork, discipline, and the value of hard work." Knapp said he hopes to have a middle, school girls' basketball program under way after Christmas. |
