After an interception by Ellis, and a run by Lindsey moved all the way to the Warriors one yard line before getting the football on a fumble, but Weber couldnt move with much defense, and time ran out for the Warriors. Thorpe did an outstanding job in the all around game, and was cheered on for defense for Weber who also had outstanding plays from Shawn Miller, and Dave Anderson. While Lanny Nelson and Ellis led the Lakers solid defensive effort. During the first 2 quarters of the game, it looked like the Lakers homecoming crowd was in for a frustrating afternoon. But the Lakers didnt give up with and Weber Highs touchdown penalties. They came through in the second half to pull out a 14-- victory over the upset minded Warriors in a region one duel Friday.

The 1978 Homecoming. The Royals took away a victory last season from the Warriors and they did it with a fine second half showing. The Warriors were solid for a half a game but faltered in the final 24 minutes. Roy brings a 1 record into the contest, losing to Bountiful and destroyers of Skyview. Weber on the other hand is having dropped close decisions to Viewmont and Bonneville. Both teams desperately need a victory to stay alive in the Region One state tourney chase. Brings back fond Memories The contest Friday will undoubtedly bring back some memories, both good and bad, for the players involved. A good portion of the Royal squad were members of the Roy Junior High team which claimed the County title a few years back. Likewise there are a number of the Warriors who battled for North Ogden Junior High. Roy and North Ogden collided in the title match and as already mentioned, the Roy team took the title. I still remember that game and everytime I play Roy, that past game comes into mind. I think its about time we give them what they desersaid the Warriors ve, 0-- 2, In Homeeomin difference will probably be decided with the lineman. Weber has exceptional talent with the likes of Bruce Thorpe, Shawn Kurt Stauffer. The Warriors have nicknamed the Royals star running back, Fred Fernandez, as fast foot Freddy. Fred no doubt will be a key figure in Fridays clash. Last week he was slightly injured but looks ready to play this week. Warriors out for blood Weber High has a better than average football team and most coaches around Region One will readily agree. Why they are winless, even puzzles their own coaches, but as someone put it, somebody has to lose. The Warriors are determined like never before to turn things around this week. As one walks through a practice session of theirs, the feeling prevails that it wouldnt matter if Southern Cal were coming to town, theyd still be determined to win. The Warriors were given a scare the other evening in a practice session, when Stauffer appeared to have broken an ankle. He was rushed quickly to the hospital and doctors relieved a lot of people that he had only a bruised ankle. The Warriors appear to be at despite a few healing injuries to players here and there. 44 2$ i f Miller, and Dan Eastman.

The Royals are loaded with talent. Besides the abundance of talent, they have a strong winning tradition in V tr A o' I football, something the Warriors haven't had over the past decade. The Royals have participated in the state playoffs for the past few years and thats about the only goal in the minds of Fernandez and his teammates.
