September 28. 1992 18 - Bv Aldon Rachele Soma people in the World of Sports I can't forget like Michael Jordan and Mickey Mantle, and others such as Shandon Anderson and hia free agent pro basketball contract I wish I could forget for all time and eternity. Jordan's final shot to beat Utah for tits 1998 NBA title made Jazz fans died a ton of enough to fill up the Grand Canyon or add water plus some salt to the what a way to Great Salt Lake-b- ut career. Jordan is end an the best there was, is or will ever be unless you are a Jerry West or Oscar Robertson or Dr. J fan. By the way the Chicago Bulls after finishing out ofthe playoffs for the first time in several years appear to be trying to board some time machine to their super seasons of the past. They have resigned former heroe in Will Big Feet Purdue, B J. Armstrong (need a strong arm to be a basketball player) as well as added Phil Johnson (not Utah's assistant coach) to the staff. The Bulls' championship coach Phil Jackson is now with the L. A. Lakers. I guess Phil Johnson is close enough. (Is No. Jordan or Jim 1 Bull fin-neWhile on the local scene I will never forget Brian Rowley of Duchesne, the original Italian Connection Jake k Jed Fabrizio and Three-PoiKings, Shay Price and Levi Gines of Tabiona.

First, there was Shay Price, who was always on target for those long gems, and I thought: How Will Tabiona Ever Replace Price?. The answer was: Levi Gines, who put opposing team's winning hopes into a permanent press, and Price was Right as both led Tabiona to state titles. However, the guy I will never forget is the irritated Home Run Derby King from Vernal. When I was working at a newspaper in Vernal Dave King brought in results of a Home Run Derby. It went as follows: I beat this guy, then another person, then one more slugger and then I took second. The HR King was mentioned just once with King like a bishop or not the King-m- ore terms). (chess knight The HR King came in the next day and was quite upset He was the bat and my head the ball. He wanted to put me in orbit just after I had spent a long day stuffing newspapers. I told him the following: At least you got your name in the newspaper My answer seemed to calm him down. He went home with the knowledge, that he was the True King for that one day. I will never forget a bad guy wrestler. I was attending a pro wrestling match in Ft Duchesne, and all of a sudden a mean dude started yelling, How come you didn't cover the raasling in Vernal? It turned out he was Bob Lee, a former heavyweight wrestler at Uintah High School, who I had covered several years earlier before he joined the known as pro wrestling. circus-al- so (Stone Cold Austin is the Man and is the Woman) Finally, I'm happy to know that former Pony League player by the first name of Donald (forgot his last name) still remembers when I took his photo more than 20 years ago when he played for the Orioles.

Former Cat, Sam White is top Utah lineman under the directum of line coach DonEck. Right guard, White has graded the highest, according to Coach Eck, and center Rod Talaeai has been a most pleasant surprise. Also false start penalties have been almost eliminated. Another Union grad, Kevin Wilson, is also a member of Utahs offensive line. A Union football star from the past, Brandon Dart, finally played his first game after two years of knee, foot iijurioa. He had a number of tackles va. Utah State University. However, sadly he pulled a hamatring and will miss a few games. The University of Utah is doing well with the "State teams as they have defeated Washington State and Utah State. Sam White, a Union High School graduate, has been credited with keeping Utah football team quarterback Darnell Arceneaux healthy. Arceneaux hasn't been scrambling as much aa he did in the past with the Utea being happy with the situation in hopes of keepi.ig the iiyury-pron- e Q B on the field and not among the wounded.
