MARK JOHNSTONNorth County Knight said he had some mixed emotions about the way the season ended for his Cavemen. Cave-men. "We didn't come up here just to look good; we came up to win the game," he said. "We were excited to be here, but this wasn't our goal. Our goal was a state championship. "The players worked this week the way you always want a team to prepare. It was a great effort from the whole team. There's not one excuse. They played their hearts out and the seniors on both sides of the ball will remember this game forever."

Jeff Reimschussel took 10th in the 100-yard breaststroke. In spite of American Fork's high finishes, the coach thinks the team can do better. Kathy King said, "We need to swim with a lot of heart and have better attitudes. We've been having a problem with a lack of focus. A lot more effort will need to be made in practice. prac-tice. "This invitational was a wake-up call for us. The areas we will need to direct our efforts ef-forts toward is working on technical things like turns and finishes.

Mansfield is American Fork's most recent All-State player, receiving second-team honors last week for her efforts ef-forts during the soccer season. Point guard Cydne Mason got inuch stronger physically in the offseason. "She competed compet-ed at a very high level in her club experience," the coach went on. "She's a great point guard who can score. I expect to see her numbers take off this season. She's an underrated defender because Nikki gets so much attention." That would be the final member of the quartet, pesky guard Nikki Ybarra. "She has a motor that never stops," Clayton said. "She has worked a lot on her shot in the offseason, offsea-son, but we're still counting . on her to be our lock-down defender." Substantial contributions are also expected from a trio of sophomores who earned varying amounts of varsity playing time last year. The most seasoned of the three is Amy Krommenhoek, who spent a lot of time this summer drilling with her older sister. That sounds pretty ordinary, ordi-nary, until you consider that her older sister is former All-American All-American and pro player Julie Krommenhoek, whose retired jersey hangs in the AFHS gym hall. "Amy's still a fantastic shooter," the coach said. "She's worked a lot this summer sum-mer with Julie on other aspects as-pects of her game, like attacking attack-ing the basket.

The band leaves Monday and is one of just seven high school bands to appear in the parade this year and the only one from the West. The Cavemen were supposed to perform in New York several years ago but had to postpone the trip in order to represent Utah during the inauguration of President George W. Bush. They are the only Utah band ever to be invited to the Macy's event, which began in 1924 as a modest effort by employees but today is a three-hour spectacular viewed by more than 2.5 million spectators and a television audience of 44 million. Bottom, with instruments already decorated for the occasion, the AFHS drum line plays an original composition written exclusively for the Macy's parade. good defensive instincts." Makenzie Moea'i joined the team two days after she helped the Cavemen finish fourth at the state volleyball tournament. "She's just raw athleticism," Clayton said. "She has the quickest first step of anybody on our team. She's also the best jumper, has great hands, and could become the post threat we didn't have last year. "This summer, when we won the tournament in California, Cali-fornia, that was her coming-out coming-out party," the coach added. Kylie Allen plays the 4-spot. "She has more fundamental basketball moves than anyone on our team," Clayton said. Others on the varsity roster include seniors Marlisa Hard-man, Hard-man, Lindie Spencer and April Hansen; juniors Kayla So-renson So-renson and Shelby Peterson; sophomores Laini Kalumbi and Lindsey Hansen; and freshmen Shelby Carson and Hayley Su'a'filo. In addition, the sophomore team has Kylie Butler, Leah Christen, Marin Gilbert, Annie Hulbert, Megann McKend-rick, McKend-rick, Jessica Shumway, Euni-cia Euni-cia Villamil, Brooke Wilson and Brittany Wrigley. Clayton said the team has very high expectations this year. "We have no outcome goals, just process goals," the coach explained. "If we reach our definition of success, which is to be the best team we can be, the results will take care of themselves. "Last year we tried to es-tablishthat es-tablishthat we were a team capable of making it to the tournament," Clayton said.

"I think they're better than last year," he said. "That may be a surprise to some. They have a lot of returning size and their posts are tough, though chemistry is a question. ques-tion. "their strengths are our weaknesses, but they're going to have to defend our guards," the coach added. "Timpanogos could be really good too," Clayton continued. " Weitzel and Bishop bother people. The question is whether wheth-er other players can fill the voids left by graduation; If so, they're going to be a handful. "Pleasant Grove has some size, but they're young," the coach said. "They have some shooters, but I'm not sure about a point guard. In our league, they're going to need one. "Lehi had a pretty scrappy JV team last year," he went on. "Their coach usually has them playing pretty hard by the end of the year. "Spanish Fork has a new coach and Jenna Johnson's hurt," Clayton said. "They had some young talent last year, but if Jenna can't return, I'm not sure where their offense will come from." The coach thinks Lone Peak and American Fork will be in the state mix at playoff time, along with a few others. "Obviously, Skyline has to be considered," he said. "Bingham "Bing-ham will be good again, and Riverton always has a solid team. Davis returns two good players and Layton could make a run as well."
