MV stays on top with road win With its road win against Lone Peak, Mountain View (4-1, (4-1, 10-8) stayed on top of Region Seven. FoQ-mraeo (DC-US sttacr gomg ft BYU MARTIN HARRIS Times Sports Editor Jonny Harline was an impact player on Orem's football foot-ball field and basketball court his senior season. The 2000-2001 season saw the Tigers basketball team come within a few minutes of a state1 title and the football team went 8-3, into the second round of the playoffs. Harline's football skills caught the attention of college scouts and he was off to Ricks (BYU-Idaho) for the school's last season athletics. "I had friends up there," Harline said about his decision to go to Ricks. "I thought it would be a fun place. Plus our visit there was really good." The Ricks Vikings football team, much like its Provo counterpart, coun-terpart, was not given a lot of respect in the preseason. "Everyone kind of wrote off Ricks because it was their last year but we surprised a lot of people," Harline said. The Ricks football program would have none of that and went out in a blaze of glory. The team ran through then-first then-first nine opponents. Harline was having a great season and catching more attention from Division I-A scouts. He caught 29 passes for 582 yards and eight touchdowns in his first eight games. He led the team in average yards per catch at 20.1 and was second on the team in receiving yards per game at 72.8. The future was looking bright. Ricks was 9-0, BYU-Provo had offered Harline a spot on their team and he was having a great freshman year. Until a hit late in the fourth quarter quar-ter against Arizona Western. "The safety and the corner just hit me really fast," Harline said. The hit left him with a torn ACL. "I was disappointed disap-pointed but I tried to be positive," posi-tive," he said. "I knew the injury was something I could over come." Ricks lost their next game to Dixie but the The Knights (3-3, 9-10) had an small lead early but the Bruins came back to take a three-point lead into the break. The Bruins rode the back of Stef Zimmerman, who put in one of his best offensive performances per-formances of the season scoring 22 points. The points were crucial cru-cial in the 53-46 win as none of his teammates could breakout offensively. Israel Ingle scored eight and Tyler Cardon seven. Mountain View held off Lone Peak in the fourth matching them point for point. Rick Roberts and Ryan Chase took on the scoring responsibilities for the Knights scoring 14 and 12 respectively. The Bruins have a game with PG tonight and then a crucial cru-cial rematch with Orem on Friday. The race is tight among the top four in Region Seven. It is unlikely Lone Peak can get back to the top but Orem (3-2), Timpanogos (4-2) and Mountain View (4-1) are all neck and neck with games remaining against one another.
