The bad news is that the likes of Rich Ericson, Andy Boyce and Steve Hanney are gone. The good news, however, is that e safefive starters including ty Greg (Mr. Stud) Smith return from last years 11-Olympus squad. And thats good enough for Head Coach Louie Long to predict the Titans will assume their familiar spot near the top of Region Three standings this season. e Hey, were the region champion and if anyone is going to knock us off, theyve got to come through 2300 East first, Long challenged.

Calling his team better at this point than last year, Coach Frank LEtoile will take his 6--0, 6-- defending 3A champs to Roy tomorrow for a 7: 30 p.m. contest. LEtoile was quick to add that the rest of Region Seven is also stronger and the Bulldogs will face tough tests in getting into position to defend their title. There will be a lot of new faces in the lineup tomorrow, but it will be a familiar face who will face the pressure of team leadership. Senior Tony Cordova will start at quarterback for the third year and most of the remainder of the positions are being held by members of the Class of '85.

"Anyone that beats us is going to have to play well, he promised. 5-- Cordova handles punting chores Terril returns as 3-- 6 overcome with good team quickness. Overall, Nielson said his squad is much stronger this year than last, but since most other Region Three schools are also improved, he could not predict a big jump for Granite in the standings. Its a real balanced league this year, he explained. A team could have a good season and still finish near the bottom. Randy Casper should get the call at quarterback this season, while returning starter Eric Solem and Dave Evans will round out the backfield at the tailback and fullback positions. Other offensive starters include Steve Olsen and returning starter Dave Taylor at. guard; George Manosakis and Boyd Dial at tackle; Jeff Fedderson and returnee Rod Drave at wide receiver; Dave Moore at center; and Steve Davis at tight end.

Overall, they have more athletic ability, he said. Theyre going to be tough to beat. The Cottonwood mentor admitted he knows nothing about Bingham except that it returns a pretty good quarterback from the team the last year.

In the spring and summer, its swimming and baseball while fall means football and water polo. And Sorensen has not merely participated in two sports simultaneously for as long as he can remember, he has excelled in each. A list of some of the versatile seniors athletic acomplishments looks like a typographical error: State championships in the 200 individual medley as a sophomore and junior, the 200 medley relay as a sophomore and the 100 butterfly last season when he broke the state record and earned recognition in the event. Swimmer of the year in 4A as a junior. Starting guard as a sophomore and junior on basketball The talented senior means it too. The pursuit of higher grades last spring caused him to give up yet another sport - the javelin - for which coaches felt he was particularly well suited. Most times however, Sorensen has been able to balance his athletic and e academic pursuits by careful planning. If a I have a game and a test on the same day I try to study for the test a week earlier because just before a big game the emotions take over and Im thinking about that a lot more. I could never concentrate if I waited until the night before. With such seemingly endless lists of achievements, one couldnt really blame the kid if he developed a big head. However, a few minutes with one of his former coaches would assure even the most doubting of Thomases that nothing could be further from the truth. Some kids never get any better at sports after age 15 because they (think they) already know everything there is to know, said American Legion Coach Bob Burkett. But anything we offered Craig as a suggestion he tried it. Hes a real pleasure to work with. As for Sorensens future, he says hed like to play football in college next year and pro sports someday if it all works out. If it happens, thats great but Im not counting on it (a pro career), he said. I just want to get to college, get my schooling done and go on from there. One cant help but think hell go a long way. -- MURRAY. Rosters for the womens volleyball league I Come in and test drive a new Accord or Civic. Get on the list for the next allocation.

Farmers Face Pocatello POCATELLO. Avoiding injury at key positions will be the key to Granite highs football fortunes this season, according to Coach Mark Nielson who will lead his team against Pocatello this evening (Thursday) in the 1984 opener. The game, which is the first half of a doubleheader that also includes Hillcrest versus another Idaho school, is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. in the Minidome. The Farmers have just six starters back from last years squad and Nielson said it will be imperative to keep those players healthy. If we lose any of them (to injury), were going to be hurting, he said. Another problem for the Farmers this season is their lack of size which the Granite coach said could be junior, should get the nod at quarterback - with work, he could be as - while Larsen and good as Ericson Eric Smith are expected to round out the backfield. Other probable offensive starters include seniors Jerry Steck at center, guards Scott Berg and Drew Naylor, tackles Robert Hatch and Bruce (6-- 240) Hilton, flanker Brad Gerber and wide receiver Eddie Blackham. Senior Bruce Blaylock is being pushed by junior Mike Anglesey at tight end. On defense, Berg, Lance Hobbs and Nate Marshall are expected to fight it out for one inside linebacker position, while Hatch is expected to start at the other. Other probables include noseguard Jon Bishop, outside linebacker Eric Johnson, Hilton and Naylor at the ends, Smith and Larsen at safeties, with Chad Rigby, Doug Taylor and Scott Fletcher competing for the two cornerback slots. All the defenders mentioned are seniors. - |
