I haven't been around to watch the hundreds of thousands thou-sands of boys and girls that have enjoyed - and sometimes endured - the roller coaster ride that is participating in prep sports. It wasn't that long ago that I went through the four years of high school myself and I loved the crowds in the football stadium and the in the gym, as well as watching friends playing a variety of other sports. After some years, I returned re-turned over four years ago to the same venues that some call the last bastions of unadulterated unadul-terated sports. I've had the opportunity op-portunity to watch teenagers excel in dozens of events. And I believe now is the best time to be a high school athlete in Utah Valley. This is a time when for better or worse people are paying more and more attention atten-tion to what's going on in prep sports. As a reporter for the Daily Herald, I've worked with many others to be at the forefront fore-front of covering athletics in the area. Consider the following follow-ing ways that we provide for you to keep track of what your child or your local team is doing: I Articles: They are the fundamental fun-damental aspect of what we do as we tell the stories about games, trends or individuals. UVU still Neil K. Warner NORTH COUNTY What would it take for Utah Valley to remain undefeated at home? More floor burns from Al-lyce Al-lyce Wilson, More air time from Kayli Broadbent. A block party from Kristen Anderson. More screaming from Chelsey Garfield after a big play. The Wolverines got it all on Tuesday night when they hosted Weber State. Another home match, another an-other win. With the match all square, Utah Valley's Kristen Anderson Ander-son came up with a block to secure a win in the decisive Game 5 to earn an exhausting 25-20, 24-26, 25-23, 12-25, 15-8 win over Weber State and keep its home record perfect on the year. "Anytime you play an in-- in-- state school it's going to be competitive so I'm not surprised," sur-prised," said UV coach Sam Atoa. "It was like this last year. They're a good 1 ran. It's, just nice that we were able to do it on our home court. The girls are very deserving of that." The pivotal play in the fifth game with Utah Valley leading 7-3. Anderson stuffed Weber State attack and after the Wildcats kept the point alive, they tried again.

I Statistics and standings: With the new site, we've started an ambitious quest to stay up-to-date on statistics, standings and rosters for each of the Utah Valley teams. Now it's easy to find out who has the best record or what player is having the most success in a local sport. I Radio: With the beginning of the new sports talk radio program "The Home Team" on 1400 AM from 4 to 6 p.m. unbeaten set it up for Anderson, who circled around to the corner of the net and pounded home a winner to help UV open an 8-3 lead. The Wildcats cut the lead to 10-7, but UV used a .458 hitting percentage in the final game and five kills from Broadbent to hold on for the win and improve im-prove to 3-7 on the year while Weber State fell to 8-6. "Once we put that first ball away (in game 5), our defense started to come alive," Atoa said. "Kristen blocked some key balls for us and it just kind of went from there. We cut down on the errors. There was no comparison with the hundred of errors in the fourth game to the fifth game where we made just one or two." Broadbent led the Wolverines Wolver-ines with 23 kills for the match. Anderson had 14 along with six block assists. Jaicee Kuresa had 12 kills and six block assists as-sists and Wilson led the team with 29 digs. The Wolverines took the first game thanks to a big effort ef-fort in game one by Broadbent, who led the team with six kills. Weber State led 19-17, but after a Utah Valley timeout, the Wolverines came back with a blitz. An Anderson block and a violation on Weber allowed UV to tie the game. The Wildcats then set up Anderson when their return snuck over the net, but Anderson Ander-son was there waiting. Weber State had no chance. Anderson drilled a shot that hit wood before a Weber State player could flinch. cated and that demands that you use athletes in different areas, but I think it's exciting." excit-ing." But for all of those young guys out there who are wondering won-dering what they can do to maximize their playing time, Olsen has some good advice of his own. every weekday, we have the chance to put even more focus n the world of high school ' athletics. f Hosted by Daily Herald sports editor Darnell Dickson, Dick-son, who covered high school sports for years, the show has already had multiple local coaches come on as guests and talk about their teams and the state of their sport. It's also a great chance for you to call in and make your voice heard. You now have a channel dedicated to getting the word out on what's going on in Utah Valley sports. I would love to pretend that we have a monopoly on promoting prep athletics, but I recognize that we're not alone in understanding the importance impor-tance of what these students do on the field. Through television, tele-vision, radio and other Web sites, it's faster and easier to find information on your local team than ever before. It's a great time to take the field or the court in Utah Valley. Val-ley. But I'm not satisfied yet. I want to continue the momentum momen-tum that we've started, and for that, I ask for your help. What do you want to see? What more can be done to promote the hundreds of exceptional ex-ceptional teenagers that participate par-ticipate in high school sports? What have we overlooked that we can do better? If you have an answer, I want to hear from you. Feedback Feed-back is the best way to make things even better. We've made a great start, but to me it's worth it because be-cause of the kids. They're the ones that make it happen and deserve to be recognized for it. at home The Wildcats responded with a kill from Chelsea Bair that tied the game at 20, but UV then put the game away. Garfield came up with a kill and Anderson followed with a block. Broadbent came up another an-other kill and when the Wildcats Wild-cats couldn't clear the net, UV had set point. Garfield sent the Wolverine celebrating with a kill to finish the game 25-20. UV had a 10-4 lead in game 2, but couldn't hold it. Weber used four kills from Brittney Bisaillon and four from Bair to storm back and go up 19-16. UV jumped out to a 9-5 lead in game 3. The Wildcats, a team that was picked to finish third in the Big Sky Conference, Confer-ence, wouldn't go quietly. They tied the game at 18, but Utah Valley pulled away and set up Broadbent, who delivered with the game winner, giving the Wolverines a 25-23 win. Weber State appeared to seize the momentum of the match when it came back to whip UV 25-12 to even the match, but UV regrouped and found the energy it needed to win the decisive game. "The wheels just kind of fell off in game 4. 1 think we kind of lost focus after winning game three. It was a reality check and we just got back up and did what we needed to do," Broadbent said. "It definitely defi-nitely helps when you have big plays like that to give us even more energy. Volleyball is even more about momentum. When you have big plays like that it definitely helps." "You know that if you want to play Division I, you're going go-ing to have to pick a position," he said. "But in high school, do your best in everything you do. Make sure you're the best at it. Practice hard, have good balance, and continue to train in all of the positions you want to play."

The Tigers had watched a 19-7 lead evaporate as the Bulldogs marched down the field on a 41-yard touchdown drive to end the first half, then continued the momentum momen-tum with a 65-yard TD drive to start the third quarter, i But it wasn't time to panic-it panic-it was time to get back to the basics. Orem used a resurgent defense de-fense and a relentless ground game to get back in control, pulling away for the 40-28 victory in the big Region 7 showdown. "We had to have this win," said Tiger coach Bob Steele. "Since we threw one away at Tooele, we needed this one if wanted to have any chance at getting home playoff games. But we still need to fix quite a few things." Steele wasn't thrilled with the way his defense allowed Provo to roll down the field to get back in the game, but he was glad to see his team bounce back strong. It didnt take long for Orem to take back the lead after a 10-yard pass from Bulldog junior ju-nior quarterback Matt Griner to junior tight end Josh Roberts Rob-erts and the ensuing two-point conversion had put Provo in front 22-19. The Tigers needed four plays to move the ball 51 yards in just 122, capped by a perfect 29-yard pass from Orem senior quarterback Josh Hamblin to senior wide receiver re-ceiver Lance Chatterly, to go back on top. That was when the Tiger defense regained it's toughness tough-ness and the Orem running game started pounding out Orem man wins world Taekwondo gold medal NORTH COUNTY Sean Leavitt took an instant liking to-taekwondo. Leavitt has only been practicing prac-ticing the sport for just over a year and a half. He came to Master Brenda Beardall's Elite Academy of Taekwondo in Orem so his 9-year-old son, Braeden, could take an introductory intro-ductory lesson at the school. . Leavitt said that four days a week he comes straight to Elite Academy from work and commented that it's nice that his entire family is involved in-volved in the sport. "Really, really fun" is how Leavitt, 37, described competing compet-ing at the World Taekwondo Hanmadang or Festival (WTH) in Anaheim, Calif, in July, where he won the gold medal for his martial arts form. Allan Schein, a taekwondo master, explains that "a form is a prearranged pattern of kicks, punches and blocks that simulates a confrontation. confronta-tion. The movements are both offensive and defensive and Utah County's 1 EDITORIAL a uraheraldextrac Ajutbfc1 yfe Aim Hi !imc t the yards. "That allowed us to run some time of the clock and get some safe yards." Steele said. "We threw the ball well at times but we also struggled at times." The visitors racked up 140 yards on the ground in the second half to bring their total to 210 for the game - which also turned out to be the exact number of passing yards the Tigers put up on the board. "We gained quite a few yards, so our offensive guys did well," Steele said. A 13-yard touchdown run by Orem senior running back Jon Huntbach early in the fourth quarter appeared to give the Tigers some breathing breath-ing room, but it didn't last long. Provo used a reverse on the ensuing kickoff to spring senior wide receiver Anthony Miles, who thanks to a great block from senior fullback Sam Vave was able to race down the sideline for an 85-yard 85-yard kickoff return for a touchdown. Ironically, the official time on the return was only one second due to a clock operator mistake. The exciting play gave Bulldog Bull-dog fans some hope but Orem didn't allow it to take root. The Tigers marched 72 yards on 1 1 plays and used up six minutes off the clock on their way to a 17-yard Hamblin-to-Jordan Egbert touchdown pass - their second of the game. Provo tried to rally but saw its next two possessions end with a turnover on downs and an interception that gave Orem the win. Miles was the workhorse for the home team as he totaled to-taled 123 yards receiving and two touchdowns on seven catches and at least that many yards on kick and punt returns. although not realistic in terms of a battle, they provide practice prac-tice in techniques that would be used in a battle." Leavitt's wife, Stacy, noted that he had "impressive competition." com-petition." Rising above that competition, Leavitt earned a score of 89.2, the highest score of all the competitors, male and female, ages 19 and older. Also competing at the WTH were Leavitt's daughter, Al-annah Al-annah (13), Scott Rhodes (12) and Alejandra Sanchez (14). Leavitt said that competing compet-ing at an international event was "a surreal experience," but it's one that he and the . three other competitors aft ? want to have again. Leavitt said he was only able to compete because this year the WTH was held in the U.S. Since earning a gold medal in Anaheim, Leavitt is seeking sponsors because he wants to continue competing compet-ing on an international level. Next year, the WTH will be held in Korea; in 2010, it may be held in Rome. source of local news . railthilirroUi 756-5001 Ea 110 South. Am.
