Show 6A Tin Summit County Boo Friday, October 27, 1995 38 School News Summit North Summit High School Football Coach Receives Honor bj Pamela Robbins Coach Earl "Sam" Blonquist North Summit High School Football Coach, Earl "Sam" Blonquist, recently received notification through the mail that he had been named as the "1995 2A Coach of The Year". The letter was signed by assistant director of the Utah High School Activities Association, David L. Wilkey. The Distinguished Service Award was initiated in 1987 to honor those whose contributions and service to high school activities have gone beyond the "second mile". The letter sent to Mr. Blonquist read in part, "The Distinguished Service Award is the Association's way of saying thank you in behalf of the many whose lives you have showed Blonquist that the "kids really woe interested and ready to begin training". Soon after this, "Sam" began receiving phone calls from several parents encouraging him to "take the program over and run with it, and try to restore some lost pride back into the team." Many of the parents are former players who woe coached by Blonquist when they were students, and remembered when he helped to win 123 games and a state title in 1972. Although his wife, JaNae, was a little leery, she simply told him to "just go ahead and do it", so he decided that he would see "if he could really coach or not" "The tcm members have really impro . ;J since the first of the year, especially since many of them ended up changing positions from the ones that they were used to. "It has been somewhat of a detriment to the team also with serious in- juries occurring for four of the players," said the coach. "Some of those playing in the final few games, were from the JV team and some hadn't had much playing time. "It has been a personally gratifying experience to me to watch the growth of the young men and view their sportsmanship and ability." "Sam" has been assisted this year by Jim Bell, Roger Crittenden, Brent Ball, and Todd McKee. "Although it's been a lot of hard work, it sure has helped to be surrounded with good people," he said. As if the coaching job isn't enough stress, Blonquist is also the high school principal, plus he owns a sheep ranch which keeps him hopping. "I have been principal in the high school for three years now, and even though there are the usual problems, with some being more FBLA members and parents gathserious than others, we have some ered for a banquet to introduce the of the best students around," comnew 1995-9- 6 FBLA officers on mented Blonquist.

An awards luncheon will be held on Tuesday, OcL 31, at the Willow Creek Country Gub at which time the award will be presented to him. The honor came as quite a shock to Blonquist, who decided to "come out of the cobwebs" and coach once again, only after time was past for locating anyone to L ke the job. When two year coach Travis Crittenden announced his intention to leave and coach at South Summit, concern was heard from the players as to who would be taking over. Blonquist jokingly told them "not to worry, as a coach would be found and, if not, he would do it himself." When a letter was sent out to the football players informing them that the weight room at the school would be open for use, almost 23 of them began showing up at night after their jobs and farm duties were finished.

They scored two touchdowns leaving no time for North Summit. During e both North Summit and Morgan performed their drill team dances. The cold weather didn't dampen their spirit as they performed well. As the teams ran back on the field, the Trojans again took over the half-tim- game.
