D4 > TRIB PREPS » TUESDAY, JUNE 5, 2012 THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE CLASS 5A » JOHN TAYLOR, DAVIS Taylor helped Darts focus on winning one game at a time By BILL ORAM The Salt Lake Tribune John Taylor's career didn't peak with his first Class 5A state championship. Nor with the second. Instead, the height of a remarkable career, the Davis senior said, came when he was 12. "Those were my glory days," Taylor said. "I'd score bicycle kicks and headers. I'd al- ways tell people if I died and went to heav- en, I'd want to play soccer 24/7." NOW, he's ready to move on from soccer. So it's a fitting end to that career that Tay- lor goes out as the Class 5A MVP, a dynam- ic attacking midfielder who won state cham- pionships as both a sophomore and a senior. To think, it almost didn't happen. As a freshman, Taylor nearly quit soccer to help his mother, Caroline, who was sick and couldn't live at home. But Caroline, who Taylor said thinks her son is even better at soccer than he is (think Cristiano Ronaldo), wouldn't let him quit. She pushed him. "I wouldn't have won two state champion- ships without her," Taylor said, "I'll tell you that right now." So when the Darts beat favored Brighton on May 24, Caroline was there, crying right along with her weepy son. "I think she was the only person that want- ed to win it more than I did," he said. It was something that Taylor, the team's captain, told the yearbook that be- came the quote that rallied the team. "In any sport," he said, "great teams lose be- cause they overlook weaker opponents. They think about winning state without realizing how hard it is to get there. So by going game by game, you emphasize all the little steps you have to take to get there. If you take your next game like it's your most important game, you will succeed." Instead of soccer, Taylor wants to focus his future on studying business. "I think I'd be good with people," he said, "and leading a team." In fact, he's already proven it. CLASS 4A » ETHAN CASH, OLYMPUS Soccer fuels Cash to make the grade on and off the field By BILL OR AM The Salt Lake Tribune It's probably a good thing Ethan Cash's high school career is over.

"I love playing against the best player, best team," Cash said, "because you really to see how strong you are as a player." On a Titans team that did not reach playoffs in 2O1O, Cash made a huge difference. However, that difference paled to the one the Titans and soccer made for Cash. It's not hard to see the connection: With- out the possibility of playing soccer, Cash likely would not have raised his grades, therefore he would have been less likely play in college. NOW, he has several from small schools that want him to goalkeeper. "It went from a hope," said Jared Ethan's father, "to more of a reality."

CLASS 2A » CARLO GARCIA, MANTI Energetic Garcia scored big for Templars all year long By BILL ORAM The Salt Lake Tribune Did you see the little boy in the early morning? Running the streets of Ephraim? Dribbling a soccer ball? Chasing his uncle? Manti junior for- ward Carlo Garcia did drills with his uncle as a kid. The practice paid off for the Templars. Did you see him grow up? Did you see him score all 22 goals this year? Did you see him score any? HOW about the free kick against Gunnison that curved big like a rainbow and past the best goalkeep- er in Class 2A? Did you see him win a state champion- ship? The first sanctioned title for Man- ti? The first of any kind since that uncle, Juan Vasquez the goalkeeper, won a club soccer championship all those years ago? Carlo Garcia was still chasing his uncle. "He'd like get me to do some drills like passing drills, heading, shooting, running with a ball, dribbling it, juggling it," said Garcia, Manti's junior leader. "All sorts of things." When Manti won the Class 2A cham- pionship on May 12, becoming the first public school to do so, Vasquez was in the stands. That was one of the few games Garcia did not score. He scored five goals in the Templars' first three tournament games. He scored five goals in one game against Millard on Feb. 28. "I've practiced really hard," he said, "and I've worked really hard this year to score this much." That's when he told of the early morn- ings with Juan and working harder than most kids should. But, like he said: "I was a kid. I had a lot of energy." Not much has changed since then. He still has a lot of energy. He bounced past defenders all year, most of his goals coin- ing in one-on-one situations. The result bespoke work. "I don't think it was luck," Garcia said.

Instead, the height of a remarkable career,the Davis senior said, came when he was 12.
"Those were my glory days," Taylor said."I'd score bicycle kicks and headers. I'd al-ways tell people if I died and went to heav-en, I'd want to play soccer 24/7."
NOW, he's ready to move on from soccer.So it's a fitting end to that career that Tay-lor goes out as the Class 5A MVP, a dynam-ic attacking midfielder who won state cham-pionships as both a sophomore and a senior.
To think, it almost didn't happen. As afreshman, Taylor nearly quit soccer to helphis mother, Caroline, who was sick andcouldn't live at home.
But Caroline, who Taylor said thinks herson is even better at soccer than he is (thinkCristiano Ronaldo), wouldn't let him quit.She pushed him.
"I wouldn't have won two state champion-ships without her," Taylor said, "I'll tell youthat right now."
So when the Darts beat favored Brightonon May 24, Caroline was there, crying rightalong with her weepy son.
"I think she was the only person that want-ed to win it more than I did," he said.
It was something that Taylor, theteam's captain, told the yearbook that be-came the quote that rallied the team.
"In any sport," he said, "great teams lose be-cause they overlook weaker opponents. Theythink about winning state without realizinghow hard it is to get there. So by going gameby game, you emphasize all the little stepsyou have to take to get there. If you take yournext game like it's your most important game,you will succeed."
Instead of soccer, Taylor wants to focus hisfuture on studying business.

Now, he has several offersfrom small schools that want him to playgoalkeeper.“It went from a hope,” said Jared Cash,
Olympus senior goal-keeper Ethan Cash ledthe Titans to a title andwon the MVP award af-ter playing just one yearof high school soccer.
Taylor helped Darts focus onwinning one game at a time
John Taylor’s career didn’t peak with hisfirst Class 5A state championship. Nor withthe second.
Instead, the height of a remarkable career,the Davis senior said, camewhen hewas 12.“Those were my glory days,” Taylor said.
“I’d score bicycle kicks and headers. I’d al-ways tell people if I died and went to heav-en, I’d want to play soccer 24/7.”
Now, he’s ready to move on from soccer.So it’s a fitting end to that career that Tay-lor goes out as the Class 5A MVP, a dynam-ic attackingmidfielder whowon state cham-pionships as both a sophomore and a senior.
To think, it almost didn’t happen. As afreshman, Taylor nearly quit soccer to helphis mother, Caroline, who was sick andcouldn’t live at home.
But Caroline, who Taylor said thinks herson is even better at soccer than he is (thinkCristiano Ronaldo), wouldn’t let him quit.She pushed him.“I wouldn’t have won two state champion-
ships without her,” Taylor said, “I’ll tell youthat right now.”
So when the Darts beat favored BrightononMay 24, Caroline was there, crying rightalongwith her weepy son.“I think shewas the only person thatwant-
ed to win itmore than I did,” he said.It was something that Taylor, the
team’s captain, told the yearbook that be-came the quote that rallied the team.“In any sport,” he said, “great teams lose be-cause they overlookweaker opponents. Theythink aboutwinning statewithout realizinghow hard it is to get there. So by going gameby game, you emphasize all the little stepsyouhave to take to get there. If you take yournext game like it’s yourmost important game,youwill succeed.”
Insteadof soccer, Taylorwants to focushisfuture on studying business.“I think I’d be good with people,” he said,
“and leading a team.”In fact, he’s already proven it.

Known as a ‘game-changer,’Ignacio gave Flyers wings
David Ignacio uses soccer to try newthings: some ball tricks, passing through adefender’s legs.
Winning a state championship.The senior made all the difference for a
Flyers team that, in its first year in Class 3A,was dominant en route to its first boys’ soc-cer championship.
The best evidence of Ignacio’s importcame from Wasatch coach Dawain Wheat-ley, whose top-rankedWasps beat Dixie 1-0in the preseason, but lost in the state semi-finals. The goal thatmade the difference thesecond time around? It came on a penaltykick from Ignacio.
In the firstmeeting between the teams, Ig-nacio sat out with an injury.“Hewas a handful andmade themamuch
better team,” Wheatley said. “We playedthem early without him and then at the endwith him. They were a much better teamwhen hewas on the field.”
Tell Dixie about it.Ignacio did not play his first two seasons
at Dixie, choosing instead to care for threeyounger siblings while his mother, Maria,was sick. Of course, hemissed a lot of schooland his grades fell off.
Hismissed playing.“Inside,” he said, “I’d always be thinking,
‘Oh, what are they doing at practice rightnow?’ ”
Last year, to help him get his grades back,his teammates helped him study. The effortpaid dividends, both for Ignacio and the Fly-ers.
“David’s a game-changer,” coachBurtMyersaid. “He can enter a game and within sec-onds, two or three different times this year,he’s gone in and scored a goal.”
Dixie senior forward David Ignaciowas the spark that ignited the Flyers todominate Class 3A, sometimes scoringwithin seconds of entering a game.

Titans’ Sonntag guided his almamater to 4A title
It just took a little bit ofconfidence, and then ChrisSonntag got out of theway.
The best coaching jobs aregenerally done by people whobelieve they have done theleast. Sonntag, the Olympuscoach, falls squarely in thiscategory. Despite leading theTitans to a 15-3-2 record andthe school’s first soccer cham-pionship, the coach quickly
credited his players and assis-tant coaches.“Iwould love to say I’mwon-
derful and I did all these won-derful things,” he said, “butthis was a great group of kidsand theydeserveall thecredit.”
But Sonntag’s impact wasmuchdeeperandmore layered.
The ninth-year coach,and formerO l y m p u splayer, tooka team thatdidn’t makethe playoffsin 2011 anddidn’t have alarge influxof talent thisseason, to its best season.“Along theway, I think itwas
kind of a learning experience
for theboys todecide that theycould get there,” Sonntag said.
And he was the one whotaught them.
Sonntag doesn’t deservethe credit alone, of course.But he does earn it here. Helooked at a goalkeeper whowanted to play, Ethan Cash,but couldn’t because of poorgrades. Sonntag assigned ev-ery senior a class in whichtheywouldhelpCash improve.Some may say that was ma-nipulating the system to win
and make a future MVP eli-gible. But Cashwill now go tocollege, which may not havehappened before.
Sonntag played atOlympusin the early 1970s, when onlya handful of schools playedthe sport as a club and thenhecoached his children throughage-groupplay.
Nine years ago, he begancoaching theTitans tobewithhis son Jeff. It took until nowfor him to break through andwin a title.
“Itmakes you appreciate allthese other coaches that do itso often,” he said.
Hemeans the coaches likeAlta’s Lee Mitchell, Brigh-ton’s Russ Boyer and Moun-tainView’sMarkGraham, ten-uredcoacheswhoalways seemto have the state’s best teams.But the truth is, not even thosecoaches are able to do annual-ly what Chris Sonntag accom-plished in 2012.
And it was more than justwin a state championship.

COACH OF THEYEAR • CHRISSONNTAG,OLYMPUS
Did you see him grow up?Did you seehim score all 22 goals this year? Did yousee him score any? How about the freekick against Gunnison that curved biglike a rainbowandpast the best goalkeep-er in Class 2A?
Did you see himwin a state champion-ship? The first sanctioned title for Man-ti? The first of any kind since that uncle,JuanVasquez the goalkeeper, won a clubsoccer championship all those years ago?
CarloGarciawas still chasinghis uncle.“He’d like getme to do some drills like
When Manti won the Class 2A cham-pionship on May 12, becoming the firstpublic school to do so, Vasquezwas in thestands.
That was one of the few games Garciadid not score. He scored five goals in theTemplars’ first three tournament games.He scored five goals in one game againstMillard on Feb. 28.“I’ve practiced really hard,” he said,
“and I’ve worked really hard this year toscore thismuch.”
That’s when he told of the earlymorn-ingswith Juan andworking harder thanmost kids should. But, like he said: “Iwasa kid. I had a lot of energy.”
Notmuch has changed since then. Hestill has a lot of energy. He bounced pastdefenders all year, most of his goals com-ing in one-on-one situations. The resultbespokework.
Energetic Garcia scored bigfor Templars all year long
Did you see the little boy in the earlymorning? Running the streets of Ephraim?Dribbling a soccer ball? Chasing his uncle?
