Show 4a Sun Advocate Series taken Sidelines by Alpine bunch From the by Scott Niendorf Sun Advocate Sports Editor Young athletes tomorrows hope A sports year is coming to an end in Carbon County and a new one is about to begin. Ive been in Price with the Sun Advocate for one year now and vc gotten to learn a lot of names ind faces. (Putting them all together may take another year, though.) Ive met a lot of athletes, fans, parents, businesspeople, coaches, teachers, administrators, youngn sters, old timers, behind-the-scenpeople, as well as well-know- well-wisher- s, people, spectators and just plain old athletic supporters. And seriously, it can be truthfully said Carbon County people arc serious about their sports. People arc dedicated to bettering themselves in athletic pursuits or supporting others to be able to excel or compete favorably in ompetition with people wherever they may go. 1 know of a gymnast who puts over 2,000 miles on her car every month to practice with a Utah County coach every day. Then theres the woman who ritlcs her bike somewhere over 50 miles per week which helps her win at regional and state competitions. Another example of hard work paying off is where several dozen young men have come together, under the direction of caring coaches, to turn a football program around. It did not just happen, it took a lot of effort and dedication, much of it coming in the Golfers, girls and boys basketball teams, swimmers and divers, wrestlers and baseball and softball teams all placed well at stale for one of the better years in high school sports. We even had individual state champions on some of these teams. Youth baseball programs saw boys and girls teams going to state competition. Local softball teams won or placed high in their class at state competitions. Several wrestlers represented us at national competitions recently. We have a few local basketball and volleyball players that have earned spots on CEU teams this year. A complete list of all the worthwhile achievements our local athletes have made would be difficult to compile or relate in the limited amount of space here. The idea here is to remind you of the great year we saw. The promise of an even better year this year makes the coming months that much more exciting. But the quality and number of athletes we have to work with nicthcr come easily nor free. Kids working on skills fundamentals at an early age give them the advantage against competition later on in life. Well planned youth programs provide the opportunity for kids to learn coordination and strategy as they progress in sports. If we want to keep pumping out successful teams and players here in Carbon County, we need to support, not just the college, high school and junior high school programs, but the youth teams and leagues in our area. For every successful athlete we have here, there is an old timer who can remember the home run they hit, or the 600 scries free they bowled or the crucial in made each youth throws they competition. The succcsful players of tomorrow play on the successful Where we youth teams of today. arc lacking in a sport today, we need to emphasize our support in that direction so we can see the dividends in the future.
