Free Press - Wednesday, August 30, 1989 - Page 6 Pioneers freeze in Dixie game What can you say after you have been soundly beaten by one of the best football teams in the state in the opening contest of a new grid season? That question had to be running through the minds of the new coaching staff at Lehi High School following their 50-- thrashing by Dixie High School in St. George last Friday night. But Coach Jefr Kilts, new to LHS but not to coaching, was content to suggest that he and his staff will use the game as a means of 7 assessing the talent and potential of a comparatively inexperienced team. He said, "We played a heck of a team, but the score doesn't reflect how well we played. "We will now regroup and look for the bright spots of Friday's contest." One of those bright spots was the quarterbacking of Robert Calton. The 5'10", senior had a good game with over 200 yards passing including a scoring pass to running back Clint Peck in the fourth period. The touchdown was set up during the waning moments of the third quarter when Calton passed to Peck for 56 yards, but Peck ha( 165-poun- d d Sophs lose in After spotting the Jordan Beetdiggers 18 points in the first half, Lehi's sophomore football team put together three scoring drives of their own but fell short in their first high school contest last Thursday at Sandy. Three outside option-pitcsweeps by number 44 for the 'diggers netted them scoring runs of 68, 13 and 36 yards. Lehi just couldn't get their defense reacting early in the game.

Cole Cooper engineered the scoring drive even through he was sacked twice while looking for pass receiv- h ' the ball jarred loose at the 1 1 as he was attempting to score. Dixie moved the ball back to the midstripe, but Lehi took over after return by Jake a punt and Smith to their own 31 where they were forced to punt. Dixie bobbled the punt reception and speedy Chad Shepherd scooped the ball up and ran totheendzone, but the officials brought it back to where Shepherd had gained possession and the Pioneers were forced to earn it the hard way. d A strike to Peck took the ball to the 6 as the quarter ran out, then Calton was sacked for minus 9 before he threw into the endzone with 1 1:09 left in the contest. The kick by Sam Wadley was good for the 23-yar- visitors. The Flyers from Dixie had put the ball game away early with Tyler Wilkinson doing most of the damage on the ground. Tom Brown, Flyer quarterback, romped 80 yards on the first down of their first possession, and they never looked back. That was at 8:42 of the initial pe- riod. Wilkinson, "probably the finest back in 3A football," scampered for touchdowns of 46, 14, 70 and 85 yards. He accumulated over 208 of Dixie total offense. the 446-yar- d Chris Bailey, linebacker and tight end, showed moments of brilliance as he sacked the Dixie signal caller a couple of times. Bailey has the college scouts taking a second look already in this young season. Adam McAllister, Karl Nielsen, Dusty Thomas and J ared Peterson were names often mentioned in the defensive plays. Coach Kilts commented that the team will work on tackling and wrapping up for this week's contest at home against Uintah. They had a lot of Dixie runners stopped, but just couldn't put them on the Coach Debbie Naylor unveiled her 1989-9- 0 Lehi High School voln tourleyball team at a nament in Vernal over the past weekend, and the lady Pioneers came home with two wins to their credit.

Experience is something they are lacking as they have only senior captain Megan Peck as a returning starter from last year's squad. aerHe connected on a ial to Tige Palmer as the biggest single play of the 12 play drive.
