The Royals ore still looking for a field in which to play their home games. By Bliss Fullmer Roy Coach Fred Thompson is enthusiastic, but cautious in assessing his 1980 Royal baseball team. Enthusiastic, because he has so much potential, though much of it is in the junior and sophomore ranks. He is cautious, because his team as yet is unproven. He has only one starter back from last years so-s- o ball team, but last years J.V. and sophomore teams did well. i both Ken Huddleston, a junior has the inside track for catching chores, but three sophomores are in hot pursuit, including Eddie Ferret, Wade Jacklin and Craig Harris. The Royals have a number of players who can hit the ball well, d. Win-war- d, Roy goes on the road this weekend to play in Orem and at Provo, with both its Junior Varsity and Varsity teams. Anticipated starters for the Varsity, are Bert Rich on the mound, Ken Huddleston behind the plate, Dennis Adams at first base, Ken Tulane or Joe Rizzuto at second base, Cort Murdock at third base. Brad McCaulley at short stop, and outfielders to be selected from Bob Kirkwood, Jim Bertagnoli, Wade Jacklin, Jay Winward and Eddie Ferret. .The Royals are young but'. enthusiastic, and could be a contender in Region One, this season, but, says Coach Thompson, every team in the league is stronger than last year. Its baseball time in Northern-UtaSee you at the ball park. Bert Rich leads a field of eight pitchers, which includes two seniors, two juniors and four sophomores, and of those sophomores are left-i- s being pushed for the wspot by Dennis Adams, a senior, Gary Anderson and Paul Hansen, who are juniors, and Jeff Busby, Scott Williams, Steve Cox and who are Lance Jorgenson, sophomores. Cox and Jorgenson are vtwo -- non-prof- it e, and Jim Bertagnolli are two reasons for optimism on the young Royal baseball team. McCaulley, a junior is the only returning starter from last year s squad. Bertagnolli is one of the better hitters on this year's team. Brad and Jim will be leading their Royals in games at Orem and Provo this weekend.

John left this week to begin spring training in Florida. Scorpions prepare for season 1 team are 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 ol 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. Coach Leon Brace and twenty-fiv- e high school soccer players are facing a strange dilemma, this spring. They organized a soccer club at Roy High School, but no one seems to want to claim them, nor recognize their organization. Not I, said Frank Trema. This isn't a Roy Recreation function. They represent Roy High School, and should come under that program. Not I, said Ted Smith, Athletic Director at Roy High. Soccer hasnt been sanctioned by the Utah High School Athletic Association (U.H.S.A.A.), and we cant recognize any sports activities that isn't sanctioned by them. I never Not I, said Stan Flint, Head of the Roy Parks Department. 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 He is of some athlete the and that that $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 doesn't agree with Mr. Tremea, that it would spoil the field for playing football. Ogden City built a combination soccer football field, said Coach Brace. Why Cant Roy do it? it? city-owne- including Jim Bertagnoli, Paul Hansen, Brad McCaulley, Jay Ken Huddleston, Dennis Adams, and others. Forty hopeful? turned out at Roy for the baseball team, and thus far he has trimmed the roster to 33 players, with one more cut coming up. Coach Thompson has a promising of pitchers and catchers in this years lineup, plus a lot of talent in every other position. BlisaFullmer 980, F age Bliss Fullmer Baseball is here, look out for Boy!

The tennis courts at Roy High School were hot last week, as Coach Grant Hansen welcomed some racket-bailer- s for his 1980 twenty-od- d team. The coach laments the idea of a young team, this season, with more than half of those trying out, coming from the sophomore class. He has only one senior on the entire squad, and that is Greg Beyler. who saw action last year as lirst, second and third ' 9, Soccer classes for young, old offered prepares By Bliss Fullmer Coach Ralph Knudson, with his assistant Tom Brady, made final selections for the Scorpion's 1960 baseball team, last week.
