Murray packed it in with a zone and the Titans could not hit that well from outside.

"One of the new regions could ontain East, Highland, Olympus, Cottonwood, Skyline, Hillcrest and Brighton," Wojtech postulated. "The other could include Taylorsville, Granger, Cyprus, Kearns, West Jordan, Bingham and Alta. Of course, when Hunter comes along in 1990, things might leed to be adjusted again. Another suggestion coming out of Olympus asked the question whether it might be wiser to leave things as they are for now and txamine the situation again in a ,.ear. ' We realize that no one proposal is going to please everyone," Wojtech concluded. "If the Dec. 11 lealignment committee proposal is the one that gets voted in, well live with it, but we do feel there are some problems with it and weve passed those concerns and ideas on to our representative on the UHSAA Legislative Council."
