Suited up and ready for fall!
Cindy Cowan Thiele EDITOR
The back-to-school blues have slowly given way to the fall sports season. Everyone is settling down into a new routine after the lazy days of summer. There’s a lot going on this season. Fall is a great time for sports and also for us sports fans. We’ve got soccer, football, volleyball and cross county all going strong. In this issue we wrap up the Connie Mack World Series and make some predictions for the coming season, and we also give you updated information on where graduating prep athletes are going to continue their sports careers. We started Four Corners Sports in the summer so that when everyone went back to school we would have a routine already in place to bring you all the best sports stories in the area. We are fortunate to have great local schools here and we feel sports — in addition to other extra-curricular school activities — have a signiďŹ cant role in the educational and maturation process of our young people. This is why we started an

entire magazine to cover local sports. Because of your location and because terrain sports are a huge part of everyone’s life. Additionally, school sports matter. They matter not just because of the scores, but also because of the commitment these students make to be part of team that is bigger than themselves. You don’t have to be the best. You just have to do your best and work hard to make your best better. Now that we are all back in the groove we will need your help in pinpointing and highlighting all the athletes, coaches, and individuals who contribute to the high level of competition and excellence our area schools put forth each year. We will be distributing magazines almost all area schools and hope you’ll enjoy reading about your friends, family and neighbors who put so much effort into the games they love.

Tae Kwon Do great for self defense and self confidence by Lauren Duff | photography by Josh Bishop Some people learn Tae Kwon Do for self-defense, others do it to build self-esteem, but no matter the reasoning, Kim’s Tae Kwon Do in Farmington has helped students learn important life skills for more than 30 years. Since the school opened in 1981, Master Instructor Robert Watson has taught children and adults different martial arts skills. With the main focus on Tae Kwon Do’s defensive style, the school also teaches other martial arts forms such as Judo and Jujutsu.
Watson became interested in martial arts at a young age, after his brother left a Judo book lying out in his childhood home. He became hooked on martial arts and started taking classes at Golden Eagle Martial Art Studio in Farmington. “People then started asking me to teach them. I was teaching 15 people in the basement of my home,” Watson said. He eventually traveled to Albuquerque to find a martial arts school with which he could collaborate. Watson met H.C. Kim, founder of Kim’s Martial Arts, and they became instant friends. The two worked together and several years later the Farmington Kim’s Tae Kwon Do
opened its doors on West Broadway. Thousands of students have passed through the Farmington Kim’s Tae Kwon Do, and currently Watson is teaching more than 60 students. During the classes, students work on improving their skills and earning different colored belts as they progress. It takes nearly three years to earn a black belt, which is one of the highest achievements for students. “Belt promotion is when you test every three months and you must show improvement,” Watson explained. “The fighting gets progressively more complex and you must demonstrate power.” Danny Moore has demonstrated power and dedication to the martial art form since he has trained at Kim’s Tae Kwon Do for 25 years.
“My parents originally enrolled me because I was a klutz and, according to them, I had three left feet. Tae Kwon Do brought me coordination,” explained Moore, who also is the Tae Kwon Do instructor at San Juan College. “I always encourage people to take it for self-defense, but I’ve seen a huge increase in selfconfidence, especially with my college students,” Moore said. Moore’s wife, Katie, also has been involved in Tae Kwon Do for several years. She earned her black belt three years ago. “I think when you first start you see your goal as earning the black belt. It is a huge accomplishment, but now I work on more detail and more learning. The black belt gives you the foundation you need” to improve the techniques, Katie explained. Students sign up at Kim’s Tae Kwon Do for various reasons. Mitch Ochoa, black belt student, said he picked up Tae Kwon Do because it has
helped him to “not back down from a challenge.” His wife, Angela, also a black belt student, said martial arts also “is very family oriented because parents can work out with their kids.”
Watson said “It boils down to the confidence level. When they get a certain amount of confidence, they tend to not get into situations, and when they do, they learn to react to them in a different way. It leads them to a point where they generally don’t need to fight and they can find other ways around” the situation.
While people may have different reasons for picking up Tae Kwon Do, Even though he has taught for many years, Watson also competed in statewide competitions in Arizona, Colorado, and New Mexico. “I’ve won just about every title that was offered,” Watson explained. “I reached a peak where I was expected to win.” Watson hasn’t competed since 1996 and his main focus today is his students. “At this point, I enjoy watching people grow and change and learn” Tae Kwon Do, Watson said. “When I was younger, it was all about the competitions. (my students) out here are the most special people in my life.” For more information on how to enroll in Kim’s Tae Kwon Do call Watson at 505.326.2303.

A ‘Werth’while experience PV Softball coach named national softball coach of the year by Lauren Duff | courtesy photos Piedra Vista High School Softball Coach Kevin Werth has loved baseball since he was young. His life has been devoted to the sport, and recently Werth was named National High School Athletic Coaches Association Softball Coach of the Year.
his time there the softball team has won eight consecutive state championships.
“I was taken aback for sure – and surprised,” Werth said about receiving the prestigious title at the national convention in Des Moines, Iowa, in June. “The company I was with is an amazing group of guys who have coached for 30 or more years. So to be awarded that was pretty humbling, to say the least.”
“I think if you ask any coach who has been fortunate enough to win a state championship how much work goes into it – for a group of girls to win eight in a row is a remarkable feat,” Werth explained.
“It is a great honor for him and a representation of what Piedra Vista is as a whole. It shows all of the hard work and dedication from everyone,” said Kelly Thur, Piedra Vista athletic director. Werth has been coaching softball at Piedra Vista in Farmington for 10 years and during

Four Corners SPorTS
This year Piedra Vista beat Aztec High School in the state championship game with a final score of 5-2.
But before coaching at Piedra Vista, Werth played baseball in high school and college and dabbled in coaching other sports. Growing up in Grants, N.M., Werth played baseball through high school and eventually went to Sterling College in Kansas to play the sport. He was there for one year and ended up returning to New Mexico to attend New Mexico Highlands.
September 2013
When he graduated from New Mexico Highlands in 1995, Werth began coaching baseball. His first coaching job was at Aztec High School. “I coached under Kirk Carpenter,” Werth explained. Carpenter is now the Aztec School District’s superintendent. After coaching in Aztec for one year, Werth ventured to Shiprock, where he coached wrestling, basketball, baseball, and football. “I wanted to be a head coach and, realistically, I wanted to be a head football coach one day, but I saw that maybe I could take over the softball program at Shiprock.” After coaching for the Shiprock softball team for six years, Werth took on a coaching post at Piedra Vista.
Now the high school’s varsity softball coach, Werth said the coaching job has been rewarding because he enjoys seeing past players flourish in college and the workforce. “When your kids come back five or 10 years later and say how much they appreciated what you did for them – the discipline and work ethic in our program taught them how to be successful in life.” Thur said Coach Werth has been extremely devoted to Piedra Vista and the success of its softball program. “He has done a lot for Piedra Vista as a whole. He established much success in the softball program which lit a fire under the other athletic programs” at the high school, Thur said.
One of the hardest parts of coaching is saying goodbye to players who are graduating from high school, Werth explained. “It’s tough to see them go. It’s also rewarding knowing they are going off to do bigger and better things with their lives.” The Piedra Vista softball program has thrived over the years, and Werth hopes to continue the trend. “Our hopes are to continue doing what we’ve been doing and creating an environment where young ladies feel like they are part of something bigger than themselves.” He added the program’s “ultimate goal” is to “continue to encourage them to be good people and give them that vehicle to get to college.”

Bowling and Fishing Raymond Johnston has fun, success in both passions by Tom Yost photography by Josh Bishop A local fisherman has taken home a national championship – as a bowler. Raymond Johnston, 57, won the 2013 United States Bowling Congress Senior Championship held in Reno, Nev. His score of 2270 with handicap won him the 55 to 59 age group by just eight pins. Johnston, a fourth generation Aztec resident, has been bowling since he was 6 years old. “I got started when my father (Robert) took me bowling,” said Johnston. “I used to bowl at least six days a week, but now I only bowl one night a week at Bowlero.” His passion for bowling may have preceded by his passion for fishing. As the founder and owner of Float ’N Fish Fly Shop and Guide Service, Johnston and his wife, Wanda, spend the majority of their time accommodating the masses near the Quality Waters of the San Juan River. “My grandfather and great-uncle were fishermen and got me started fly fishing on the San Juan River,” said Johnston. “I started out as a civil engineer,

having to work.” And with the fly fishing industry taking up the majority of his time, bowling has taken a back seat in the last few years, which is why winning the senior national championship came as such as surprise. “I thought I’d be done on July 3rd, so I didn’t even book reservations to stay the extra day,” explained Johnston. Johnston qualified for the event in Albuquerque, where he won all of his events in the 55-59 age division. When he got to Reno, Johnston’s usual bowling tendencies turned a 180 on him, to his surprise. but hated the corporate side of the industry. Eventually I got sick of my job, cashed in my retirement and started fishing. My wife and I had a mid-life crisis in 1987, bought a piece of property that came available, and built the shop. We have been doing it ever since.” What started as a way to enjoy being around flyfishing all the time, turned into a fortunate business venture. “When we started Float ’N Fish, my wife and I had no idea that it would become what
it has,” said Johnston. “The popularity of the river exploded and we were fortunate enough to be in the right place at the right time. It has been a great experience.”
“I am usually really good at picking up spares,” explained Johnston. “In Reno, I missed 19 out of a possible 20 spare opportunities.”
And what do bowling and fishing have in common?
Out of 108 chances, though, Johnston made up for his open frames by converting strikes on 88 of those chances.
“I really don’t think that they have anything in common,” quipped Johnston. “I am just looking for any way to goof off and play without
“I bowled 268 in one game with 11 out of 12 strikes and one open frame,” recalled Johnston. “In two other games, I was 10 out of 12.”

NFL Sundays
at local sports bars
by Rick Hoerner | photography by Josh Bishop As the NFL season kicks off it’s time to look at the best places in town to spend a full day of football, food and fun. It has become apparent to anyone that ever visits a restaurant or bar that the TV will most likely be on some type of sporting event. This phenomenon has even moved to the fast food world with Wendy’s and Qdoba joining the fray. So missing an NFL game on a Sunday is actually hard to do in public eating establishments. If you are not one of the privileged that has the NFL Sunday Ticket on your TV and countless mobile devices, there are plenty of local establishments that give you access to every game every Sunday. Regular chain restaurants are hit and miss with game coverage. Chili’s has the Sunday Ticket, but not enough TVs or bar space to show every game. Applebee’s and Outback run the same games you would get at home sitting on the couch. Three of our local establishments offer every game, every Sunday and an enjoyable watching experience for the passionate NFL fan.

San Juan County
shaping up Number of figure, bikini competitors increasing in area by Debra Mayeux | courtesy photos Figure and bikini competitions have become a popular sport for women in San Juan County. There are clubs dedicated to preparing women of all ages to compete by showing off their well-proportioned muscled bodies.
Holly did this by following an eating plan designed specifically for her needs. “I measure my food, and I have to eat six small meals a day,” she said. She prepares her daily menu each evening and packs a box with the food she will eat for the day. Everything is premeasured to make sure she gets the right proportions to stay healthy.
Three area women trained for several months, working out every day in local gyms to build just enough muscle and lose the right amount of weight to be able to compete in the National Physique Committee’s Mid-USA New Mexico State event July 6 in Albuquerque.
“If it’s not in the box, I don’t eat it,” she said, adding that she keeps a book and logs everything she eats. Then she calculates the grams of protein and carbohydrates, while calculating her calories.
Holly Stock, 39, earned three first-place awards. Tiffany Bingham, 37, received four second-place awards, and Dulcinee Nussbaum received a third-place ranking.
“When I started this I had my children in mind,” Holly said. “I wanted to be an example for them to be healthy. It became a big family thing.” Holly said that while she is self-driven, having the support of her family and the assistance from Romero made all the difference to her. She was able to achieve the goals she needed to achieve to be able to compete.
Stock, a school teacher at Mesa Verde Elementary School, always has battled her weight, and even tried every fad diet on the market. She discovered the only thing to help her stay fit and trim was working out and watching her diet. It was her husband, Steve Stock, who piqued her interest in the gym. “It was something we could do together,” she said. The couple has four children and worked out at Defined Fitness where there were options for childcare. While there, Holly entered two weight loss and fitness competitions sponsored by the gym, and she won both. After Holly won the Defined Fitness Revolution in March 2013, defined Fitness trainer Dee Nausbaum encouraged her to try competing on a higher level in a statewide or national competition.
16
Four Corners SPoRTS
From there Holly decided to put her faith in someone who had a lengthy history in preparing both men and women for fitness, figure and weightlifting competitions. She contacted Anthony Romero at Complete Physique. Romero is the gym owner and has dedicated his life to training people for competition, sports and to better their health. He planned a workout and a diet for Holly, and she said it made all the difference in the world. “I had so many results from Anthony,” she said. “He told me I had the symmetry, we just needed to find the smaller me.”
September 2013
“I love Anthony (Romero) to death,” she said. “I had phenomenal results.” She also developed a close friendship with Tiffany Bingham, who became her workout partner at Complete Physique. Both women had similar goals and they provided each other the additional encouragement needed to meet those goals. Bingham, a mother of five, had a baby 20 months ago and hadn’t worked out in two years, when she decided to train for competition. She started preparing in November 2012. She began getting serious about competition 13 weeks prior to the July event.
“I didn’t have to lose a lot of weight,” Bingham said. Her focus was on building muscle. Her diet was a “little tricky.”
being preparing for competition after her two children got older. Her success, she said, comes from self-reflection and self-motivation.
“It’s a numbers game with calorie counting – counting fat and protein – and how many times a day you eat,” Bingham said. “It’s a lot of work and the first two weeks were the hardest.”
At 35, the NPC competition was her second. The first was the Musclemania competition in June, where she placed second overall. She helped Holly achieve her goals, while working as a trainer at Defined Fitness, and Nussbaum had a great time. “It was an experience I enjoyed,” she said, adding her goal is to begin competing consistently with the hopes of going pro.
A lot of her success came from the encouragement she received from other competitors. “Women in this sport are very supportive. They know how hard you have to work and how disciplined you have to be,” Bingham said. While diet and exercise play a big part in this type of competition, the women also have to prepare mentally and physically to be on stage. “We practiced hours and hours of posing, and when you get out on stage with the lights blaring it’s totally different. All eyes are on you,” Bingham said. It was a terrific experience for both Stock and Bingham, who said they went into the competition knowing they had done everything they could to get where they needed to
The only thing in her way is the expense of the sport. Nussbaum has sought assistance from sponsors, and she will do the rest on her own by being dedicated to her workout routine and diet. be for the event. Afterwards, they came home regrouped and began planning for the next competition. “It’s not just saying you’re going to do this, it’s living it,” Holly Stock said. Nussbaum does live it. She has been a personal trainer for nine years but decided to
“It takes work,” Nussbaum said. “You can’t say you’re going to do it and fall of the wagon.” Nussbaum plans to compete again in November, while Stock and Bingham are looking forward to competing again in the summer of 2014.

The Jam On It Basketball Academy and tournaments are offered to students as a way “to build positive self worth and promote a sense of accomplishment by engaging children in fun and competitive play, and to foster the belief that trying one’s best is as important in sports as it is in life,” according to the organization’s website, jamonit.org.
Founded in 1991, Jam On It is one of the sports industry leaders, providing basketball programs to youth. “It is a full service basketball program for the recreational and competitive basketball player,” according to the site, and it offers camps, clinics, lessons, tournaments and conditional programs for boys and girls ages 5 through 18.

The July tournament consisted of more than 500 teams, representing four countries and 20 U.S. states, according to Derrick Smith, head coach of the New Mexico Force 15U boys AAU. “These young men have helped make the New Mexico Force 15U basketball team one of the most successful AAU teams in New Mexico,” Smith said of Castillo, Wood and Acosta. “The team has compounded a 21-3 record, three consecutive tournament championships, one runner-
up trophy, and a third place trophy in a tournament boasting over 500 teams.” The event pitted the New Mexico Force against other basketball players, who ranged in height from 6’7 to 6’11, while the tallest member of the Force is 6’1. “These young men were able to battle and fight their way through stiff competition, even beating a team from Mexico by 58 points,” Smith said. “These young men were able to accomplish amazing feats of will, determination and pride. They were able in three short days to make the city of Farmington and the state of New Mexico really proud, and also reward them with an amazing winning season.”

It costs $200 for one year to be a member of the

Federation. There is a $100 membership discount for National Rifle Association members. “The reason why the range is not open to everyone is if things don’t cost, people don’t value it as much. The idea is this is their club they are a part of. It is not something to discard,” said Mike Freestone, Federation vice president. There are more than 900 members at the Federation, which offers various shooting activities, or disciplines. These disciplines include Defensive Pistol, Cowboy Action, and trap, skeet and five-stand clays. “There are a lot of activities that go on here,” Freestone said. “This is a safe place to shoot firearms and have the camaraderie with members. It is a place to bring families and it is very enjoyable. The various shooting ranges at the Federation’s complex include an indoor 50-foot range, 100-yard range for rifles, 1,000-yard range, seven pistol ranges with varying distances, and a shotgun range used for trap, skeet, and five-stand clay. There are even prop buildings set up for Cowboy Action, where people dress up in appropriate theme apparel and quickly shoot at targets. “They have a scenario where they shoot at targets in a certain order in the shortest amount of time possible,” said Steve White, Federation board member. Along with learning about firearm safety and participating in shooting events, the Federation also offers wildlife conservation courses taught by the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish. “We are really focusing

Another activity of that youth can be a part is the Youth Airgun League, which consists of air rifle and air pistol shooting. “The nice thing about the youth program is it starts out with five hours of safety instruction not only for air rifles, but general gun safety,” Standley said, adding that children 15 years old and under must be accompanied by a parent. White teaches the Youth Airgun League.

East Cobb Yankees prevail; home team reaches final four by Rick Hoerner | photography by Josh Bishop The champs Summer comes to an end with the finish of the crown jewel of the Farmington sports year and the East Cobb Yankees winning this year’s Connie Mack World Series. The Yankees swept their way to their sixth Series championship with a 6-2 win over the 2012 champs, the Southern California Renegades. East Cobb used impressive starting pitching and timely hitting to cruise to the title. The Yankees finished 5-0 in the Series including wins over the South Troy Dodgers, D-BAT, the host team Strikezone, and a pair of wins over Southern California. Beginning in 1999 the Yankees started a four-title trend of winning the Series in odd years up through 2005 and has been a perennial challenger every year breaking the trend and winning in 2008 prior to this year’s title.
The host team The Series is always a little more interesting when the home team does well and this year’s host team kept the fans at Ricketts hopeful for a shot at an initial title. The Strikezone Cardinals reached the Final Four of the Series, which by any standard is a successful showing in the national tournament. The Cardinals stormed back after losing a close

them came through with a completely triumphant tournament week.
The weather As usual, Connie Mack week is a great time to turn off the sprinkler system and let the natural course of World Series rain do the job. This year was no different, as Mother Nature threw the teams a curve cancelling a night of play and giving a pair of teams the undesirable task of playing a pair of games in a single day to stay alive. The weather put the then

BAT centerfielder, Nick Ramos made a spectacular over the shoulder diving catch that at the time looked to save the D-BAT’s series as they held on to a lead over the Renegades. The next inning, the Renegades rallied to eliminate D-BAT 4-2 and move into the finals.
undefeated perennial favorite Midland Redskins out in just a few hours, losing both games of a Wednesday doubleheader. Speaking of the weather, the Ricketts Park ground crew did an incredible job getting the field ready to play on after Tuesday’s storm. Not only did they get the game in after a nearly three-hour, constant rain delay, they got the field ready to go by 9 a.m. the next morning for the makeup game. This, of course, is no surprise to the faithful that have watched the ground crew work miracles year after year.
The most impressive play during the Series was in what ended up being a rout of a game. Southern California Renegade outfielder Gavin Collins took off on a 1-1 count from third base and stole home on a straight steal. With the number 42 on his back, it was hard not to think of another 42 doing the same 60 years ago – Jack Roosevelt Robinson.
The best of …. Heartbreak of the series goes to Midland pitcher Wyatt Short. Short had a no-hitter going in to the bottom of the sixth inning against D-BAT in a loser’s out game. D-BAT scored two runs on two hits to chase Short, then went on to win the game on a walkoff single 3-2
Another summer comes to an end with the end of the World Series. It was another memorable week at the city’s signature event with solid crowds, great host housing and a committee and city crew that puts forth a banner effort to make the Connie Mack World Series a smooth running quality event. Only 11 months and we can do it all again.

What sports did you grow up playing and which turned out to be your favorite? Baseball, football, swimming, tennis, basketball, golf and volleyball. Baseball was my favorite as a kid. My high school favorites were football and tennis. My college favorites were football and volleyball. Now, baseball is probably the favorite to coach with football right after. Quoting Mark twain, “Golf is a good walk spoiled,” but it is nice to get out and participate to keep sane. When and why did you become a coach? I became a coach because of my love of sports. I am not one who can sit still. Sports and coaching allow me to keep active. Sports teach character and qualities that transition into everyday life and mannerisms. I started coaching in 2012.

What can be done to make youth sports more appealing to kids in today’s society?
Encourage kids to play the game. Encourage them to better themselves – not the person next to them. then teach them the fundamentals of their sport. then let them make the mistakes and learn and grow from the mistakes. this is a lesson that if they learn it, they can carry with them throughout life. And they can have fun!
In which sports do you coach your kids? My own kids I coach in any sport they want to participate in – volleyball, softball, football, baseball, golf, swimming, basketball and soccer). As a coach in the community I coach baseball FABC, football (YAFL and Mesa View Middle School), and softball (Four Corners girls). I also used to coach soccer when the kids were younger.
What is the most important aspect of coaching youth sports today?
What do you learn from the kids with which you work?
patience, patience and more patience. they teach me that they are more than willing to learn if you are willing to listen to them. Kids like to win and hate to lose, but they bounce back from losses quickly. Kids teach me that even in our everyday life, playing the game is about having fun. If you win it stays with you forever; if you lose then there is always next time. As adults we often forget that when you lose, it is not the end of the world, we forget to “get back up on the horse again.” Kids remind us to get back up and get back in the game. How did your youth coaches influence you to 8 become the person you are today? Without knowing that I was learning, my coaches taught me to play my hardest and play within the rules, and that structure in sporting activities builds towards structure in life.
bowling and fishing Johnston credits much of his success in winning the national championship to a particular league that used to happen on Tuesday nights at Bowlero Lanes in Farmington. This particular league used lane conditions that were patented by the Professional Bowlers Association, or the PBA. These same lane conditions are used on a week-in and week-out basis by the professionals, challenging the very best bowlers in the world.
Fishing REPORT
“I had a chance during that Tuesday night league to bowl in a lot of different lane conditions,” said Johnston. “That more than anything helped prepare me for the lane conditions I faced in Reno.” “Unfortunately, that league doesn’t exist anymore due to a lack of participation. The conditions were so tough that it was too hard for a lot of the people who participated. Their scores went down and they didn’t have much
fun – but it made me a better bowler.” So what is next on the national champion’s bowling agenda? “League play will be starting back up soon and then I will have to qualify for the 2014 Senior National Championship in Albuquerque again,” stated Johnston. “They don’t give exemptions for defending champions.”
The San Juan River below Navajo Dam is currently flowing at 493 cfs. Fishing remains very good in the Quality Waters, even with the flows constantly changing. The best times to hit the water are 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Some hot spots to try your luck are between the Texas Hole and the Cable Hole. Some rigs to try are a size 22 gray Big Mac midge and a size 24 black and olive midge emerger. Another rig to consider trying is a size 24 gray midge emerger followed by a size 24 black zebra midge. Also, with the midge hatches being very strong, don't forget to have a few dry flies in your bag of tricks. Some of the best patterns for the surface have been a size 20 Griffiths gnat and a size 22 CDC single midge.

The bait of choice is a nightcrawler www.sanjuanriveroutfitters.com worm and the lure of choice is a gold Panther Martin. If you are fly fishing the bait water, 505.486.5347 the rig to try is a size 16 orange San Juan worm followed by a size 22 chocolate foam wing.
