Show 6D The Salt Lake Tribune Tnesday September 8 1987 Utah Opens Home Volleyball Season Kearns Receiver Makes Amazing Turnabout By Tom Wharton Tribune Sports Writer On that day late in the 1986 high school football season as Kearns’ Coach Tom Larson ran his team through the drills there was no indication that a young man’s life would be changed Danny Cosby a T K I H N U K Prep Rankings marginal junior player varsity with some talent but a poor attitude had missed yet an- “He was bouncing from school to school and as soon as he got bad grades he'd just switch schools” said Clark “He was out of boundary But I made a deal with him If he got eligible with his grades I told him I’d help him with the other problems” The Kearns coach was skeptical He’d seen too many kids over the years give up under this situation Danny would be like all the others “I made the basketball team” said Cosby “but I had bad grades I was just clowning I couldn’t play the whole first half of the season because of the grade problem I went around other practice the Danny Cosby day before Tired of dealing with excuses Larson asked his junior receiver to turn in his uniform “He’s a model and moviactor” Kearns explained the football coach “He’d get a chance for a job and leave practice You didn’t know whether you could count on him It got so bad I told him to turn his stuff in He hung around until practice was over He asked for one more chance” Cosby also remembers that afternoon “Anytime I felt like missing practice I did so he just kicked me off” said Danny “I went and got dressed anyway and went back on the field He told me I couldn’t play varsity any more So I played jayvee for the rest of the season and suited for the playoffs After that I decided I would show him for next year I decided I was going to change” So Cosby tried out for basketball It was there that Kearns Coach Kenyon Clark did a little research and found that Danny had some problems He lived near South High and had at- soft-spoke- n tended both South and Granger before moving to Kearns It would take a hardship ruling from the Utah High School Activities Association to get him eligible And there was the problem of grades Danny wasn’t eligible because of a point average 15-gra- and asked my teachers to change my grades They wouldn’t so I had to work hard” Almost overnight Cosby raised his grade point average to just under a 30 He won over Clark by missing only one practice despite being ineligible for the first 16 games The Kearns coach kept his end of the bargain by winning a hardship appeal which allowed Cosby to play in the Cougars’ final four games “I’ve never had a kid stay with it like that” marveled Clark “He deserves a pat on the back for doing a good job I've had so many who wouldn’t sacrifice that it surprises you when something like this works so well” During the summer Cosby won over the football staff as well He would catch a bus to school at 6 am and practice basketball from 7 am to 10 am Then often exhausted he joined Larson and his son Dean in the weight training room for two more hours of hard work Larson could hardly believe what he was seeing “I don’t know what happened” said the Kearns football coach “He was like night and day You wouldn't know he was the same kid He did the mental preparation and turned it around academically He stayed with us during at our home He showed a lot of work ethic in PAGE 1000 TURBO 101 Utah tied for fifth in last weekend’s Idaho State Invitation(2-al Cal Poly-SLranked 10th in the nation last year spent the (1-- O practice” During

simply a model to a model student and athlete But in a short interview he revealed a few clues “I didn’t care whether we won our lost last year” he said “I just wanted to be on the team to show everybody I could make the team This year I’m showing them I can behave I wanted to try to be a leader out there It’s mainly my senior year I wanted to go to the turf the Astroturf at Rice Stadium with the team I wanted to show myself and my mom Now I plan on going to college” In the process Danny found that Clark and Larson were more than just coaches He got to know Larson especially well living with the coach for a short time “He’s like having a friend for a coach” said Cosby “He helped me a lot with my problems and now is helping me study for the ACT test I have a few problems with math I can go to him and talk” There’s a good chance that Danny Cosby will go on to a college football career somewhere and make something of himself rJUJ University Utah GRADUATE SCHOOL OF BUSINESS
