Early in the second quarter, following a drive from mid-field, mid-field, Jay Bohn punched a-cross a-cross the goal line from the 2 yard line for the first score. Following a penalty which moved the ball closer to the goal line, Bohn repeated the same drive and picked a two point conversion putting the Devils out in front 8-0. Shortly afterward. Hurricane Hurri-cane uncorked a long pass to Jim Lefevre which was good for six points, but the Tigers were unable to make the extra point. Moab threatened again just before half-time. A long pass from Larsen to Jim Key might have been good for a score if the young receiver could have held onto it. He balanced it long enough to make it a fair catch, but finally dropped it where a Hurricane player picked it up and ran for long yardage. Moab held, however, and the half ended with the Devils leading 8-6. Hurricane's half-time lecture lec-ture must have been effective, because on the first play from Red Devil squad. Led by quarterback Gary Jones, the Juab team gained yardage consistently and scored in in every quarter for the season-ending win.

Again, Hurricane failed to convert. In the final quarter, Hurricane Hurri-cane scored twice more both times on pass plays and managed man-aged to make one 2-point conversion, to make their total for the day 32. Moab was able to put together one more touchdown just prior to the end of the game when Larsen passed to a limping Shannon for 6 points. The kick attempt for the extra point was no good. The Devils now hang up the suits for the season with a 5-6 record. Hurricane will meet unbeaten Delta Friday in the state 2A quarterfinals. |
