Two seperate studies are currently under way within the Utah High School Activities Association, the first looking realigning high school regions and the second investigating the number of sanctioned activities. The Activities Association, according to its director Glen Beere, was commissioned to do the studies by the Legislative Council, its governing body, which represents all of the school districts in the state. Finances is the common denominator for both studies, although the realignment study has additional issues to look into such as travel, time out of class, and geographies. A survey was sent out to all of the 40 school districts in the state asking whether the individual districts would prefer to keep the present four classifications, 1A, 2A, 3A and 4A, or cut back to three for the 1989-9- 0 school year. Those surveys were returned to the Activities Association Monday, but the results were not compiled in time for the scheduled meeting of the realignment com- ss ' western side of the state, Uintah at the far eastern side," noted Beere, "plus schools like San Juan and Moab. Dixie, Pine View and Cedar City have to go as far north as Utah sideration with Beere noting that some rural high schools have to travel as many as 250 miles, one way, to compete. "We've got Wendover at the far County to find schools in classification to play." One idea brought forward by the committee noted that, perhaps, schools need not play every sport in Bangerf ield, Price Gain 1987 Coaching Awards Rule Writting Commission for six MIDVALE. Two Jordan School District coaches, Steve Dangerfield of Brighton high in 4A and Margaret Price of Jordan in 3A, were numbered among nine coaches statewide to receive Coach of the Year awards from the Utah High School Activities Association years. She has been a gymnastics judge since 1971. Price was also named by the Jordan Boosters as Coach of the Year in 1983 and featured in a high school sports magazine in 1987. "It's been a lot of fun," she responded. "I've had the opportunity to work with a lot of great girls. for 1987. The awards were presented at a special luncheon conducted last week at the Willow Creek Country Club held in commeration of National Coaches Day.

Coach Dangerfield was president of the National Federation of Coaches Association in 1984 and was a National Board Member and Region Eight representative of the same group in 1985. Twice he was selected as president of the Utah Football Coaches Association, 1972-7- 4 and 1978-8- 0 and is a past Utah Chairman of the Na-- ts Registrations are now tional Federation of Interscholastic Coaches. He was Utah's football representative to the American High School Coaches Association, earning the title of president of that group in 1982. Dangerfield has been coaching for 22 years, first at West high then at Bingham and Viewmont high schools, the University of Utah and finally at Brighton high. For 19 of those years, he has served as a head coach, 12 at the helm of the Bengal program. His overall record is 142 wins and 45 losses. His teams have won two state championships, one second place finish and 10 region titles. He has been named 4A Coach of the Year four times. le 1700 THANK YOU cost is $7 if - our carrier's wage comet from your payment, and If they do a good job we hope you reward them.

Beere, a strong advocate of activities, noted that Utah is one of the lowest states, if not the lowest, in the number of sponsored activities. Beere said he doubted that gymnastics, for instance, could be staged as a club sport within the school. "The skill level is so high now that it would be hard to find and keep qualified coaches," he said.

Although the survey lists all sponsored activities, Beere noted that the ones being looked at for possible remanding back to club sports are the same classification. A school might compete at a 1A level in one and 2A in another. Jack Dozier, principal at Park City high school, then suggested that one way to cut down on travel, time out of the classroom and costs would be to simply stage fewer games or meets in some sports. He proposed that football could be cut to seven games and basketball to 14 outings, not counting the playoffs. Three study' committees were formed to delve further into the issues, one will look at the advantages of combining 1A and 2A, another will investigate the advantages of a three classification system and the third will delve into means of cutting costs under the present four classification format. the same (includes Medals will be awarded for first, second and third places in each division.
