A1' V ' Vss. $' Review Correspondent t 0 jY Some years ago LAYTON when you heard of Clearfield and Layton getting together for a football game it meant one thing, excitement. What else would you expect from one of the hottest rivalries in the state. By looking at the closeness of the score of last Friday nights game at Layton you might assume it was an exciting duel. But you know what they say about assuming. That was especially true if you like to see the scoreboard light ?. oftOs. $&&& i up. Offensively, this years battle had as much excitement as reruns of Sheriff Lobo on television, as the Falcons squeaked out a 0 victory in a mistake-fille- d contest. Falcon-Lanc- er 7-- Some might consider the low score evidence of a good defensive battle, which was partly irue, but also it was a battle of two mistake-pron- e offenses and who would make the last error. That last mistake belonged to the Lancers. With about four minutes remaining in the contest Clearfields Todd Ferguson intercepted a Layton pass near midfield. Three plays later Falcon quarterback Brad Sherwood hooked up with Sean Openshaw on a scoring strike for the only score of the game. That touchdown turned out to be more than enough for the Falcons as the Lancers could not mount a comeback effort before the game ended. The Lancers were able to move the ball on the Falcons for a good part of the game but just, when it 47-ya- rd Bees Option Past Royals seemed Layton was about to do something big they either turned the ball over or managed to get a costly penalty. It was a common occurence to hear the Layton P.A. announcer say There is a flag on the field again. The Lancers displayed a rare ability to fumble the ball after big plays and stop their own drives. Credit should be given to the defenses, however. Both teams created a good share of turnovers with jarring tackles and good coverage in the secondary. Falcon, coach Brent Hancock made an accurate prediction before the contest, calling for a low score and saying a big play would win the game. Lucky for Hancock and his Falcons it was their big play that won it. 27-1-2 Roy Still Looks For Win SCOTT MONSEN Review Correspondent ROY The Roy Royals are still looking for their first win of the season after a disappointing 27-1- 2 loss to the Box Elder Bees here Friday night.
