Scorpions preparearefor season By Bliss Fullmer Coach Ralph Knudson, with his assistant Tom Brady, made final selections for the Scorpions 1980 baseball team, last week. Included on the roster are Nick Battistone, Brett Loftus, Curtis Kennedy, Joe Facer, Jeff Charlesworth, Louis i team Brad Yamashita and ftreg Busby. Coach Knudson has great hopes in his pitching staff, including Nate Gallegos, a ninth grader, Brett Loftus, a ninth grader, and Marc Webster an eighth grader. He singled out Eric Gallegos, Lewis Meyer, Frank Battistone and Shane Loftus for their hitting ability. Sand Ridge has no starters from last years team, though Nate and Eric Gallegos and Shane Loftus saw a lot of action. The Scorpions plan three preseason games, weather permitting, and are scheduled for league play on April Second. Tennis courts at Roy High continue to heat up singles on the team. Coach Hansen cited juniors Brad Nemerov and Frank Nuemthal, and sophomores, Jed Jones, Eugene Nuemathal, and Mike Woolsey as players to beat out for this years team. The Royals have practice games with Davis, Box Elder, Bountiful and Viewmont, before starting league play, the first week of April. been sanctioned by the Utah High School Athletic Association sanc(U.H.S.A.A.), and we cant recognize any sports activities that isnt tioned by them. Not I, said Stan Flint, Head of the Roy Parks Department. I never even heard of the group, until now. The Roy City Council met with Coach Brace, last week, and voted adoption of a resolution to give the American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO) whatever support they could, and Brace thinks that might also include his high school club. Recreation Director Frank Tremea has tried unsuccessfully to work out a compromise with the soccer people. He has asked them to limit their and leave the late summer open for little league season to spring-time- , football. Tremea has proposed that the soccer organizations contribute to d the recreation department, and particularly to the upkeep of too of is some that He the that athlete and $14.50 suggests high, per parks. the money should be turned over to the city for expenses. He noted that Roy Recreation charges $6 per athlete for a complete football uniform. Leon Bruce defended the registration fee, by giving the following cost breakdown: $7.00 - Shirt and patches for each participating athlete. $3.00 - AYSO insurance and registration forms. $4.50 - Equipment - ( 1000 game balls at $17.50 each, 1000 practice balls at $4 each, 24 sets of goal nets - $228.00, goal post maintenance and repair $175.00 each, and other miscellaneous expenses.) Mr. Brace declared that the AYSO is a organization, that left most of the moneys collected, right here in Roy. He states that the City of Roy should at least furnish places for the boys to compete. The AYSO and the UYSA (Utah Youth Soccer Association) have made fantastic progress in promoting soccer in Northern Utah. In the fall of 1975 there were four teams and sixty players in Weber County, but only one field to play on. Last fall there were 144 teams and 2200 players and 13 fields. This spring there are 272 teams and 4100 athletes in Weber County, and they have 24 fields, to play on. No one doubts that soccer will one day find its way into high school sports. Leon Brace predicts that it will come within two years. He noted that some of the Salt Lake City Schools are already funding soccer clubs to represent their respective schools. He gave Skyline High School as a and said that many schools, as close as Ogden, were confor the sport on compus. fields structing The Royals belong to a league, called Region One, which includes Bonneville, Layton, Davis, Clearfield, Weber, Ben Lomond, Logan, and Sky View. A fourteen game schedule began this week, and will continue into May. The top two teams will advance into a state tournament, to be played on May 5 and May 19 in Salt Lake City. The Roy Soccer Club opened league play, Tuesday at Davis High School, and is scheduled to play Bonneville at home on Friday, but the Royals have no home field to play their games. Roy Recreation has furnished adequate fields for little league soccer, but is unable to provide a field of regulation size for the high school teams. A regulation soccer field is 70 yards wide and 120 yards long, Frank Tremea, of Roy Recreation has refused to allow the soccer people to mark up his established football fields, for the purpose of soccer. The smaller, little league soccer fields cannot be enlarged to accomodate regulation soccer. Roy High School has three possible fields that were considered for soccer. One field, located north of the football stadium between Roy High and Sand Ridge, is only 55 yards wide, and 110 yards long. An area, west of Roy High School is big enough, but is the outfield for Roy High baseball, and the team practices there, almost daily. A third field, located directly west of the Roy Recreation Complex, and north of Roy High School, is big enough, but the Roy High Administration doesnt want to give up the space. We use it for junior varsity sports, they insist, and we have other plans for that area. Leon Brace feels that someone in Roy could and should come up with space for a regulation soccer field. He likes the area west of the Complex, but would accept an overlay over one of several football fields around town. He doesnt agree with Mr. Tremea, that it would spoil the field for playing football. Ogden City built a combination soccer football field, said Coach Brace.

The Royals recruited, as coach. Leon Brace, a Twenty-fiv- e School. Brian Gour was elected well-know- soccer authority, and an officer in the AYSO, of Northern Utah. They explained to Leon that he would not be paid for his services, but he accepted the job. I took the job because I love soccer, said Leon Brace. I dont get paid, and all that its cost me, so far, is $260.00 he smiled. Someone had to pay an entrance fee to pay for officials, and those kids couldnt afford it. But can you afford it? I asked him. No. He said softly, but I cant afford to see the kids not be able to play soccer, Roy has three kids of foreign origin on the team. Team Captain Staale Abel came to the United States from Norway with his father and the 6 figher plane program. Abel has played soccer for ten years in European competition. Volker Moulding is a German citizen, now living in Roy. He came from Rhineland Pfalz, Germany with his mother and who is an Electrical Engineer at the University of Utah Medical Center. Moulding brings six years of experience into the Roy soccer program. Aitan Kahana came to Roy from Israel, last year. His father is an Israel Liaison Officer at Hill Air Force Base. Kahana is a sophomore, and hopes to graduate from Roy High School before returning to Israel. Others on the team include Kent Wiggins, whom Coach Brace calls the best goalie in the league, Mike Weston, Ralph Anderson, Scott Reid, Tim Miller, Verl Kingsford, Mike Allison, Robert Workman, Raymond Eldard, Kirk Godfrey, Robert Law, Kevin Hamilton, Brian Allen, Doug Moss, David Warner, Bruce Dawson, Curtis Palmer, Steven Anderson and Brian Tanner. The Roy team is in a league that includes clubs from Bonneville, Clearfield, Ben Lomond, Layton, Weber, Davis, Logan and Sky View. They call themselves Region One, though three of the members are schools from Region Four. The teams began playing a schedule this week, which will last until May 2, and then the top two teams will go to a state tournament, slated for May 5 and May 19 in Salt Lake City. Soccer is flourishing in Roy, at all levels. We have the nucleus of tomorrows high school program. All we need now is a field for our team to play on. Anybody got an idea?
