However, Carbon went to the well one time too often. Unions defense bolted Holt to the ground with a strong goal line stand on a fourth down play to make the hometown crowd happy. Josh Swain, Pete Cook, Tyler Robb, Bo Gardner and Preston Man made a great goal line stand. Carbon was so close (a first down play had them on them on the three) that they figured they could make one yard on a dive. Our athletes played commented Coach tough, Busenbark. Coach Busenbark scolded his defense at halftime, and defensive end, Preston White said, "Coach told us our defense had to do the job, and we shut them down.

The Utah High School Activities Association and Board of Trustees adopted the "Out of Season Participation Ruiij, which some are calling the "Moratorium. Each team and individual sport (except swimming and diving) will have a period during the school year in which coaches cant coach their athletes, have any organized practices or be involved with them intheir sport.

I just lowered my head and went in for the touchdown. We had great blocks, said Frandsen, who was named offensive player ofthe game with 100 yards total offense.

Frandsen snared a pass from quar- many down south have better weather that enables athletes to do their sport on a continuous basis. However, Coach Young also commented, "I really hate it (Moratorium) that they can tell a player when he can practice his sport. He loves to do it, but is restricted from practicing all he wants, and should be able to work with a coach as often as he likes. It should be noted that athletes can continue to specialize in one one particular sport, but they wont get any help from their coach during the dead-time- s. Football, volleyball, basketball, soccer, baseball and softball must dead-tim- e block observe a four-wee-k immediately following the championship game for their classification and gender. The blocks would vary according to the date the championship meet is held. Exceptions are spring sports, boys soccer, baseball (not including fall baseball) and softball where dead-tim- e the postseason four-weewill begin in August on the starting date for football and volleyball. The other two periods can come any time during the school year. The coaches associations for each sport are deciding when theyll go into effect. 1-- A four-wee- k Many athletes have become spe- cialized such as basketball players, who play the sport the entire year while ignoring fall and springsports. "It is something that had to be done. Athletes dont get a chance to be a kid any more, said Union High School athletic director and a former coach, Brent Fieldsted. "Everyone will be under the same rule and pressure will be taken off them to play fulltime. They will be able to take time off their favorite sport In more rural areas such as Roosevelt, Duchesne, Tabiona, Altamont, athletes dont have access to programs that are available in Wasatch Front areas. "The rule will keep those Big City schools from getting an unfair advantage over smaller schools, added Fieldsted.-Individual sports such as golf, tennis, cross country, wrestling and track can observe three four-wee-k periods anytime during the school year, which allows athletes to compete in regional and national events that are often held right after the season ends. The required postseason deadtime for teams sports will begin following the football, girls soccer and volleyball seasons this fall. Spring sports wont begin their moratorium until August 1999. off-seas- terback Rasmussen, and then cruised 19 yards down the left side for the first touchdown of the game.
