Coaches also praised the play of linemen Joe Coleflesh, Troy Moon and Gary Christiansen Chris-tiansen for their play both on offense and defense. Mark Bowman drew praises for his ... defensive play on the night. NO ONE was offering excuses ex-cuses for this loss but on the same line it still isn't known how good this Lancer club is. This week they host Skyline of Salt Lake City on their Lancer field. That means they don't have to face a six hour bus ride, which had to play its toll on the nine players that go both ways for them. They will also have the services of Kurt Gallegos in the secondary. He sat out the Idaho game with a slight injury. His experience will be needed to solidify that defensive back spot. SOME ARE billing this week's game with Skyline as a grudge match, since the Lancers beat the Eagles a year ago in the state semifinal matchup. These two are always after one another because of the rich football tradition each school has built up. Skyline runs out of the power I formation, and simply says to their opponents op-ponents here we come, try and stop us. Layton has the horse to stop them. LAYTON PLAYED a good game offensively in their first outing, the defensive secondary secon-dary needs some improvement but with Gallegos returning they get just that. Should be a great football game on Friday at 4 p.m. when these two collide. |
