SINCE DROPPING a couple of league encounters in the middle of region action, the Bountiful club has come on strong to down Davis, Highland, Woods Cross, American Fork and now Judge. All five of these clubs were considered good clubs. It's hard to tell if the Braves were supposed to beat the Judge club, the papers had the Bulldogs rated higher than Bountiful but on game day they picked the Braves to win.

After a scoreless first quarter, linebacker John Robertson blocked a punt which Layne Christiansen fell on inside the Bulldog ten yard line. Fullback Full-back Rob Cottle, who ran extremely ex-tremely well again, bulled over from there. Then on a Jim Perkins' punt the returner dropped the ball then lost it to junior Rex Remigi who got down field in a hurry. A couple of plays later quarterback Kevin Kott found tight end Page Bennett all alone in the end zone from 20 yards away. Sandwiched in between these two scores was a run by Cottle which capped off a long scoring drive which was helped by a long pass from Kott to Perkins. The key to Bountiful's win over Judge last week was the defenses' ability to bottle up the quick backs of the Bulldogs.
