Tins past week the Tigers finished up the first half of region re-gion play and started the second sec-ond in the same manner that they have leen knocking out the rest of the 200(i competition, competi-tion, with hard-fought battles (hat see (he Tigers come out on top. The scored eight goals in two games against two teams that are in the lower half of the Region 7 standings with a 1-0 win against I.ehi and a 4-2 victory over Timpview. I Ins week however, ()rem laces teams looking for a little revenge and a chance to snatch the region championship champion-ship out of the Tigers' paws. Today, Orem travels to Payson to take on the Lioas, who were humiliated by the Tigers in their first meeting of the season, a 13-0 shutout for Orem. The Lioas, who are last in the standings are still looking for their first Region 7 victory and would love nothing more than to end the Tigers' bid for an undefeated season. After that the competition doesn't get any easier as the Red Devils from Springville come to Orem . In their previous meet ing, Orem took advantage of some good breaks and a Springville own goal to get the victory. "We knew we had to come out and really play hard today," to-day," Louder said after the 2-1 victory. "We did the things we needed to do to win. We played our game well, and then it was kind of helter skelter for everybody there at the end." Springville will be excited for another shot at the top spot in the region. "We're excited to play them again," said Springville coach Ryan Swanson. "We can play with them. We're confident. There were just a few bad bounces, and that was the difference dif-ference in the game I think." The Tigers have won 19 games in a row dating back to last September. Football The Tigers on the grid iron are on a hot streak just like the other 'futbol' players at the school. Jon Killpack and the rest of the Orem football team continued contin-ued their winning ways this week with a homecoming victory vic-tory over the Lehi Pioneers 33-7.

In 1971, T.C.Williams High School was created in Alexandria, Alexan-dria, Va., by combining black and white high schools in the area. At first, Boone said fear and racism prevented his team from playing as a unit. But by "simply creating a way for people to talk to each other," Boone said his team began to come together. "By learning to talk to each other, they learned to accept the soul of someone they did not know," he said. While the 2000 film, starring iJenzel Washington as Boone, centers around football, that's not what the movie is about, Boone said.

Ed Louder PI Ul ICC DC Phillip Morgan NORTH COUNTY fell another week has come and gone and there have been great performances on and off the field of play this week. However, the weather has turned bitter and I think that it affected the way that many of the prep athletes carried themselves. Friday night was miserable. The rains came down and the floods came up all over the valley. It poured on Lone Peak 's 10-0 win over Timpanogos. It dumped buckets in Spanish Fork as the Mountain View Bruins battled hard, but came up short against the Dons. Yes, the only local team to leave the gridiron not just wet, but with a victory, was the Tigers of Orem. The Tigers scored in all different differ-ent fashions Friday night in the down pour on their way to the 33-7 33-7 homecoming victory over Lehi.
