This year the Tigers are a part of a new region that includes Hillcrest, Alta, Brighton, American Fork and Mountain View. Already, the new region is shaping up to be one of the toughest in Utah. Clark puts Mountain View and Brighton in the top two slots, but says there is "not much difference between anyone, everybody has a good football team. ' And in a region of "no sure wins," virtually everybody has a shot at the region title. "From top to bottom, there won't be a stronger region in the state," Clark commented. Accord vide great food sources for those in need, however, fresh fruits and vegetables are rarely provided," Brent Crane, Utah County Food and shelter Coalition director, said. "Many families were assisted as-sisted last year through the "Share the Harvest" program." Squash, tomatoes, cucumbers, cucum-bers, potatoes, onions, peaches, apples and corn are among the more popular contributions. Quantities vary from a few extra squash to bushels of peaches - any contribution is appreciated, according ac-cording to Crane.

Injury has already snagged one of Orem's top players indefinitely-junior Randy Lamoreaux. Lack of depth paired with key injuries, Clark says, could end up being Orem's biggest weakness. But the Tigers' "speed and size on both sides of the ball," along with an improved passing game should make Orem a contender con-tender for the region crown, Clark hopes.

And this Friday, the Bruins will get the chance to use those traits in their pre-season opener against Dixie. This year 6"2" senior Jamie Jeffords Jef-fords will quarterback for the Bruins.

Backing up Jeffords will be Cody Floyd, a Junior at Mountain View.

The starting combination gives the Bruins just over 1,200 pounds of offensive horsepower. According to Monsen, Leone Lobendahn, Ben Tulis, and Shawn Redford will also see plenty time on the field.

Deucher has a year of running run-ning the Orem offense under his belt and "his experience," Clark says, "will be a real plus." Also returning is offensive-defensive lineman Cory Ramage, who, at 6'2" 235 lb., is one of Orem's best blockers on the line. Tight end Ben Allphin, defensive back Casey Nelson, and outside linebackers Brett Daniel and Matt Rasmussen all return from last year's squad.

On the defensive side, the Bruins are similarly talented. Brian Bowden, Terry Lyman, Milt Gale, Alex Jensen, and Ben Tulis will comprise the bulk - no pun intended - of the tough defensive line. Randall Murray, Jeff Francis, will start at Linebacker. At presstime Brian Langford and Cody Floyd were battling for the Weak Outside Linebacker slot According to Monsen, many of his defensive players are return recruits from last year's team. "One of our many strengths is our depth of experience on defense," says Monsen, "we're big, physical, and have good team speed." Monsen also cites leadership as one of the team's strong points. This year Setema Gali, Jeff Francis, Fran-cis, Randall Murray, Jamie Jeffords, Jef-fords, Josh Roberts, and Terry Lyman will Co-Captain the team. Monsen is also quick to point to Rid your lawn of brown spots with peat moss This is one time you want the moss to grow under you feet Sure as summer, those ugly brown spots in your grass always appear. Peat moss is one way to combat this problem, says Thomas A. Reeve, Utah State University Extension agent in Box Elder County. The moss, according to Reeve, helps hold water in the dry-prone areas of your yard. All you need is one-half to three quarters of an inch of this moss to do the job. . "This year has been cooler than normal, but when temperatures tempera-tures reach 85 degrees or above during the day for three days at a time, dry spots will start to show up in many lawns," he says. By adding peat moss to the vulnerable areas, Reeve says you can reduce the number of irrigations irriga-tions by one or two a week. Areas most prone to brownout brown-out are the narrow strips between a sidewalk and paved road, turf on the south side of the house, prevention programs. In addition to class instruction, instruc-tion, firefighters will participate in "Firefighter Games."

"From top to bottom, there won't be a stronger region in the state," said Coach Paul Clark The key to Tiger success this year is solid defense, and the elimination of mistakes on both ends. In other words, no turn the contribution his coaching staff makes to the squad. "I don't know of any guys that work harder har-der for their dollar than our coaches," he says. "They're a great bunch of guys, the greatest staff in America." In addition to Monsen, coaching the Bruins are -defensive coaches Jeff Gustin, Phil Boban, Jim Marks, Brian Carter. Steve Hoffman, Dan Eck-ert, Eck-ert, and Doug Whimpey help on the offensive end of the field. The Bruins kick off their preseason pre-season contest against Dixie at Bruin Stadium Friday at 7:30.

"1 have several of these spots on my own lawn," he says. "This year I applied a half-inch layer of Seat moss and was surprised at ow much longer these areas stayed wet and green before I had to water them again." Before adding peat moss, Reeve suggests the following where grass turns brown: '' 1. Check sprinklers to be sure water is reaching these areas. 2. Check to see how deep the water is penetrating the soil. 3. Check for insects or disease. 4. Check for foot traffic that may be causing compaction. He says ahalf-inch layer of peatmoss in such areas helps reduce compaction. com-paction.

Orem is probably best known for their running game, but the Tigers also need to pass the ball effectively this season, Clark added.

If the wind is blowing, it may even blow away, he says. Lay the peat moss down thick enough to that when it's watered, there is a layer at least a half-inch thick.
