Skyline bumped up their lead to 9 wins over the Darts. Bryce Stevenson took the opening kickoff 64 yards. On the first play from scrimmage Kerry Shepard fumbled the ball and Skyline took four plays topped off by a pass from Brandon Leeuwen to Bo Nagahi and as quick as you can blink, the Eagles took the lead and that would be as close as the Darts would get to winning this game. A key for the Darts was the number of mental errors that Skyline would immediately take down the field and convert into a score. ' We got our butt kicked and all we can do is come back and regroup, Coach Dickson said. I really get frustrated with the num- lines.

I'm pretty happy, Highlands a great team, theyre the cream of the crop? said Bountiful coach Larry Wall.

Highland faces East. 1 ; tj,e Darts could the have run up the score and sent Knights home with their tails between their legs. However, as this game went the Knights gave Davis all that they could handle and Davis escaped a game that could have been ugly. We played good enough to win this game, said Davis head coach Curt Caldwell, But thats about all we did. With the record that the Darts are touting of 1 and Northridge you would have thought that Davis would have had their way with the Lady Knights, but Northridge had other plans. At the five minute mark in the first period Elysia Cannon got the ball past the Knights goalie and the rest of the first period was a defensive struggle. Davis had shot after shot at the goal, but it seemed to have an invisible wall that would not let the 9-- 1, Darts into its domain, but Davis would keep peppering the goalie, and still the ball seemed to have ideas of its own. Did the Darts have a case of over confidence or were they just not ready to play ? Finally in the second period, the Darts found their answer as they got a big shot in the arm as Lisa Sekulich gav e a perfect set up pass to Ashley Seaman and she knocked the ball past the Knights goalie and Davis had finally padded their lead to Not long after that Nicole Iverson assisted Heather Arnell in another goal and it looked like the Lady Darts were going to start running up the score and have the Knights for a before dinner snack as they kept peppering the 'Ridges' goalie. Northridge had all they could stand, and as the Darts were just getting better at the passing game, Northndges Jennifer Griffiths got the ball deep into the Dart's territory and trying to protect her goal. Morgan Kunz got the ball and was called for a foul that gave the Ridge a slim chance to prevent a Dart shutout. The shutout was short lived as Griffiths would get the ball past her former club teammate and Northridge was finally on the board. Both teams started to play better but it was too late as the refs We dwelled so much on region, but didn't focus on state last year said Culhmore The focus is to be there ready on Wednesday" see GOLF - pg. A8 2-- 0. CLEARFIELD - Friday night, a game between two classic Davis County schools takes place, as the Layton Lancers make the short drive to engage war on the Clearfield Falcons. The Falcons are coming off an overtime win against Cottonwood last week. Although Johnson is pleased with his teams win, he is not quite as pleased with the slow nature m which they started the DARTS-p- g. game. Clearfield didnt have a lead the entire game, until the overtime when quarterback Jared Moultne found Larry Nebeker in the end zone to give them the win. We didnt prepare very well. said Clearfield coach Randy Johnson. Moultrie's performance is key to the Falcons plan to take their third win in Region One from the Lancers. Hes got to come out and play well. said Johnson. He can not make any mistakes. The quarterback issue for the Lancers has become one of drastic change, as junior Brandon Henderson has taken the starting role for the past three games in place of Demck Thomas who is concentrating on his baseball career.

"They're a pretty tough team, said Northndge coach Fred Fernandes. "It'll take perfect execution, perfect play and plcntv of breaks." The Eagles are flying high after last week's game against Davis, m which they made a novelty of the Darts, whipping them 59-It's going to take more than the other night." Fernandes said of his team's game last week. "The key will be to keep their offense off the field." The problem for Northndge will be which Skyline strength the defense will have to focus on 3. i Fernandes expressed concern that if hts defense pays too much attention to Van Brandon Eagle quarterback Leeuwen. who threw for 154 yards and two touchdowns Fnday; then speedsters like Bo Nagahi will run all over the field. Nagahi had two touchdowns Fnday It puts us m a tough situation? said Fernandes. Skyline's monstrous offensive powers are not the only concerns facing Northndge m Fnday s game. The Knight's are still playing without tour of their most important starters. Senior Jared Miller has a broken collar bone, and Anthony Fresaues, Gerald Bourdeau and Kenny Moon are still out with knee injuries. They're pretty complete and were pretty dismantled? said Fernandes. Fernandes has been forced to start four sophomore in the place of his injured starters. Daniel Coats, Bobby Clous.
