Then next tournament is Monday, September Sep-tember 1 1 at Hobble Creek at noon. I Football After a 21-16 victory to start the season, the T'Wolves' offense has been stagnant. The team as a whole has only scored nine points in the past two games, all from great plays by the Timpanogos defense. The path through the 2006 season sea-son doesn't get any easier as the T'Wolves play their second straight home game as they host the suddenly hot Payson Lions. I Girls Soccer Stacy Bartholomew and her fellow Timberworves know how tight Region Re-gion 4 will be this season. One of three teams tied for the top spot in the standings, Timpanogos need a pair of wins to keep pace with Lone Peak and American Fork. Both games this week for Timpanogos are on the road, as the T'Wolves will travel across town to battled the winless Mountain View Bruins on Friday afternoon at 4 p.m., then travel north to face the Pleasant Grove Vikings Tuesday. I Volleyball Tonight the Timpanogos volleyball team travels to Payson to close the book on the preregion portion of the schedule, taking on the Lions at 6:30 p.m. After the match, Timpanogos leader lead-er Cali Nelson and the T'Wolves take an extended break from competition, not playing again until the Mountain View Bruins come to Timpanogos to open Region 4 play on Sept. 21.

Mountain View Football The Bruins look to stop the surging Orem Tigers, who got their first win of the young season last week against Timpanogos. The rivalry game is the final game before the Bruins get into the Region 4 portion of the schedule. I Girls Soccer Mountain View continued to strug gle this week, losing two games, one to Region 4-leading Lone Peak and another to Pleasant Grove. Despite the winless record. Mountain Moun-tain View can claw its way into the Region 4 race with two victories this week.

Volleyball The Bruins look to extend their two-match winning streak against a See FORWARD, Page 7 MV football out-slugs Springville Jeff Mathewson Mountain View's 21-20 win at Springville on Friday night looked more like a boxing match than a high school fxit-hall fxit-hall game. I he two teams went back and forth throughout theen-t theen-t ire contest, but in the end, it was the visiting Bruins who ,( ored the knockout blow in the latter stages of the contest. 1 lie Bruins struck first after i fumble recovery on Spring-villc's Spring-villc's first offensive play of 'he game, quickly punching the hall into the end one on Nate Sunshines' one yard run. I lowever. the Red Devils Dev-ils would return the favor. Junior Corey Macmurdo broke through the Bruin line, IiIik ked the punt attempt by Mountain View, and dove on the hall in the end zone to put Springville on the board. As one would see in any classic bout, the Brums would quickly respond. Facing fourth-and-5, quarterback Mark Garrett connected on a 33-yard pass to Mark May, putting the Bruins on the Springville 2-yard line. One play later, Garrett found Braden Hellewell for the two-yard pass, then connected con-nected with Josh Curtis for the two-point conversion. The home team would answer right back, putting together to-gether an impressive five play, 55-yard drive, that wound up with a six-yard touchdown-run touchdown-run by Steve Nelson. Springville would add a two-point two-point conversion of its own to knot the score at 14 at halftime. Like in any classic bout, one would think that it would be Mountain Views' turn to be on the offensive. The Red Devils had other plans, however, as Springville offense exploded out of the locker room. Led by the crisp passing of quarterback Nate Fullmer, who finished with 191 yards passing, and the running game of seniors Nelson and Shawn Merkley, the Red Devils marched 68 yards in five plays to score another touchdown on a 20-yard Merkley run. The lightning-quick drive by the Red Devils seemed to break the spirit of the Bruins as they found themselves on the ropes. "We've been a bend and no-break no-break defense all year," said Bruin head coach Doug Meek. "We really gritted it up when we needed to." That "no-break" defense that Meek described stepped up and battled back for Mountain Moun-tain View, recovering two costly Springville fumbles. One of those fumbles led to a 55-yard touchdown pass from Garrett to Wyatt Davis to give the Bruins the 21-20 lead. "When I saw that ball up in the air, I knew that was it, I See BRUINS, Page 7 Orem tops T'Wolves for first victory PhiJIip Morgan DAILY HERALD Quick arithmetic problem ... Take two teams, times that by one team searching for its first win of the season. Take that product and add two fumbles on two plays by Timpanogos; a 16-play drive by Orem one that took over eight minutes off of the clock then subtract one mistake by quarterback Jon Killpack. Anybody with the answer? Anybody? The answer is Orem's first victory of the year, a 22-7 victory over cross-town rival Timpanogos. "It's always good to get a win," said Orem coach Robert Steele. "We have been so close in the past two games and to finally get one feels good for our guys." It was a dominating win to boot. On the opening play of the game the Timpanogos offense of-fense fumbled the ball away to the Tigers, who drove the ball down to the 12-yard line before turning the ball over on downs. The Orem defense rose up again and on the T'Wolves' second sec-ond play from scrimmage they fumbled the ball away again. This time the Tiger offense made good on the gift, as Tucker Tuck-er Lamb began his big day with a 10-yard scamper with 529 left in the first quarter. After a Timpanogos three-and-out the Tigers were ready to pounce again. This time is was all Lamb as he carried the ball 3-of4 times, the last from 12-yards out for the score. "Tucker (Lamb) had a great game," Steele said. "We needed need-ed a big game from him with Tom (Steele) on the sidelines with turf toe." The junior running back ended up with 80 yards rushing rush-ing and a touchdown. Running the football is the Tigers' strong suit and that was evident as Jon Killpack threw an interception to Mark Carter who weaved through the opposition to score the T'Wolves' lone touchdown. "Turnovers have hurt us the past two games and this w eek it took the shutout off the board." Steele said. "It doesn't matter to us coaches, but the guys would have taken a lot of pride in that." The Orem offense began the second half in the same fashion as the first, sustaining a 16-play drive that took eight minutes off of the clock in the third quarter. Jon Killpack pounding the ball in from the l:yard line to put the game out of reach for Orem. The Timpanogos off ease began to catch fire though late in the game and tried to make a game of it. Mixing a good dose of powerful running from Jordan Pili and well tufted passes from Christian Stewart to a plethora of T'Wolf receivers, Timpanogos moved the ball nicely until it got into the red zone where incomplete incom-plete passes and penalties killed many drives late in the game.
