SOCCER. ..To call the soccer team young would be an understatement.. This year at Bountiful, there have been times that they have had eight sophomores on the field at one time. Thus far the Braves have three games under their belts. They lost to I.ayton 4-3, lost to Bonneville 4-2 and then tied Alta 1-1. COACH PAI L Mitchell and Rick Call do have some players returning from a year ago which gives them a little experience in Stan Bishop, Scott Peffcr and Matt Thornley but the big bulk of playing time is taken up by inexperienced inexperi-enced players. Not inexperienced in the game of soccer.all of their plat ers have had successful junior league careers, but as far as high school varsity competition is concerned. The one thing the coaches liked was the idea tha they were playing play-ing a tough pre-season schedule. TRACK. ..Track coach Mitch Willey still hasn't had the weather to workout that much outdoor but he does feel he knows several of his athletes w ill place in all their meets. The first name mentioned is distance runner Dan Drumiller along with Brian Higley in the 800 meters and Doug Ferrell in the discus. "OTHFR THAN those guys we are very young and inexperienced." Yea we know coach there's a lot of that going around at your school these days. |
