Show Clearfield Falcons Face Strong Brighton Crew By DAVE WIGHAM CLEARFIELD - This Wednesday Wed-nesday the high school football foot-ball teams are supposed to be taking a break from action and have scheduled non-league non-league games. Clearfield has a non-region game but the Falcons have anything but a break. AS LUCK would have it the . Clearfield team will be battling one of the best squads in Salt Lake City in the form of the Brighton Bengals. Currently the Bengals are leading Region Two with a perfect 3-0 league record while the Falcons are tied for third in Region One sporting a 1-2 mark. CLEARFIELD enters the game following their first region win last week when they came up with a victory over the Roy club. In that encounter en-counter it was the arm and foot of Brook Hicks plus the hands and feet of Tim Gooch. All the senior quarterback did was complete 10 of 13 pass attempts for almost 200 yards while Gooch was running wild on offense picking up close to 100 yards and intercepting yet another pass. HICKS FOUND wide receiver Greg Boarden on one touchdown pass of 26 yards then came back to hit Gooch for another touchdown-this one coming from 24 yards away. To add to his day the likeable Hicks also added a 34 yard field goal. Again it was a strong defensive effort on the part of the Falcons that preserved the win as they came up with three fumbles and the Gooch intercepted pass. BRIGHTON will be favored in this practice session as the Bengals have been nothing short of awesome in their league action. In their three wins the Bengals have piled up 84 points, which puts them at an almost 30 points per game clip.
