The Badgers, according to Coffeyville Head Coach Skip Foster, "plays hard." which m contemporarx football lingo is a polite euphemism for chalundersized, athletically lenged and devoid of speed. As well intentioned as Coach Foster's comments may have been, nobodx is better at finding e blather than cynicism in Snow College's coaching staff, and no team is better at using it to their advantage than Snow College. over-achievi- post-seaso- card the under-do- g hand, the Badgers firmly entered the 32nd Mineral Water Bowl with a chip on their shoulders. and promptly took a 0 lead when Phillip Heywood raced around the Badger's right side for a three-yar- d touchdown run.

Some questionable officiating kept Cedar in the game in the first half, as the Redmen were whistled for only three personal fouls, the last two coming in the final minute of the half as the referees tried to even up the obvious disparity in the foul column. Conversely, the Hawks were frustrated by multiple calls on their big men and could manage only a 20-1- 6 halftime lead. Christensen with 12 and Tyler Bailey and Luke Jorgensen with four each had the only scores for Sanpete.
