"I couldn't feel much better bet-ter about our team going into next year. We hit well, hit with power, and I feel like I have 4-5 guys who can get the job done on the mound." In the final game of the summer, sum-mer, the Bruins once again received re-ceived contributions from the whole team to complete finish with a 20-3 record. For the ninth time in 10 games the Bruin offense led Marcus Draper, who hit a smoking .715 during the summer, sum-mer, scored at least eight runs. After taking an early JO lead, Mountain View blew the game open in a five-run fourth. Draper provided the key hit of the inning with a 2-RBI triple. "He's about as much of a 5-tool 5-tool outfielder as there is in the state," Cooper said of Draper. Tanner Young hit a 2-RBI single of his own two batters later, and Travis Jackman, who went 2-for4 finished off the rally with a triple to right. As good as the offense was, the pitching was even better. Roeden, who got his first start since breaking his leg early ear-ly in the summer, followed up Cameron Schmidt's four-hitter against the Dons with a two-hit shutout. Roeden worked his knuckle-curve, curveball, and fastball arsenal brilliantly, and the Mountain View defense came through when it was called upon. Springville's biggest scoring threat came in the top of the fourth, but the Bruins escaped a first and second situation with a double play. "He's just a bulldog out there, I knew he would battle for us," Cooper said of Roeden. "After we got out of that jam, he came into the dugout and said they're not scoring on us'. That's the kind of attitude he brings." Not only did Mountain View win the tournament, but they beat some of Utah's top baseball programs in the process. The Bruins downed Timpanogos 144 in their first game. That was followed by a 9-5 win over Jordan and a 3-1 win over Spanish Span-ish Fork in the semis. I Mountain View 3, Spanish Fork 1 : At Mountain View, Cameron Schmidt was just a little bit better bet-ter than Don ace Adam Duke in a matchup that featured two of the valley's top pitchers. The Bruins got all of the scoring they needed in the first inning when Mark Garrett drew a twoout walk. Garrett stole second and scored on Tanner Young's double. Young then scored to put Mountain View up 2-0. The Bruins' third run came when Marcus Draper singled and scored on Kyle Kendall's double. Schmidt held Spanish Fork to only five hits.

Center St. Provo 373-6827 T'Wolves Continued from Page 9 however the T'Wolves proved they could score on the Miners Min-ers almost at will in the second half of their 44-25 loss. "Bingham was not only state champions at 14-0, but they were one of the top teams in the nation," Molen said. "Our kids feel were pretty successful in that game and it's carried over into the season." Although confidence is a great thing for a team to have, it can only get you so far if you don't have the talent to back it up. That shouldn't be a problem prob-lem for Timpanogos as it has some of the top players in the state in both its skill positions as well as the trenches. Leading the way are what Molen calls the three best players play-ers in the state at their respective respec-tive positions. Stewart, who is entering his third season as the T'Wolves' signal caller, has made significant signifi-cant strides since last season. "He has just improved tremendously over the past year," Molen said. "He has really matured in reading defenses de-fenses and in his game preparation." prepa-ration." Taking some of the load off of Stewart on the offensive side of the ball will be speedy running back Taylor Lyons, another three-year starter. Bruins Continued from Page 9 Janis. The duo hooked up in the 23rd minute to get Mountain View on the board. The senior drove toward the end line and then laid off a great pass back to her junior sister, who drilled the shot into the top part of the netting to give the home squad the 1-0 lead. "They are two great players play-ers that are just a year apart," Atuaia said. "They work well together, since they've played with each other for so long. I like having that type of family connection because they know each other." Auna Janis said that she enjoys en-joys that combination as well. "I love having my sister out there," the senior said. "She has such great ball skills. I love playing with her." But while both sisters appear ap-pear poised for great seasons, it would be Auna Janis that stole the show in the opener. She added another assist on the team's second goal of the first half this time scored by senior forward Maddie Wiscombe then made the play of the day midway through the second half. "I got a perfect cross from (junior defender) Anjie Lines," Auna Janis explained. "I felt I lUI 7 III J CoD Today! r Timpanogos' Danny Briggs gets Lyons could very well be the fastest player in the state as evidenced by his 4.28 time in the 40, as well as his second place state finish in the 100m dash last year. "He's proven he's the fastest kid in the state so we're going go-ing to try to get him the ball," Molen said. "With that kind of speed he can go at any time." Leading the way in the trenches will be all-state defensive defen-sive end David Kruger, who has the ability to take over games with his disruptive presence pres-ence up front. "He has offers from colleges like I was flying (as she dove to head the ball). I don't usually usu-ally score header goals, but I was so focused on heading that one. I was going to get it." Lines lofted a great cross from 35 yards out toward the far post of the Caveman goal and Auna Janis lunged perfectly to head it into the back of the net for the 3-0 advantage. ad-vantage. That would be all the scoring scor-ing Mountain View would need as junior keeper Aja Domingo had a stellar game in her first time ever in the net. "She's a good athlete, so i we decided to put her back there," Atuaia said. "She has great hands and good vision. Advertisement ARCHERY HUNT CLOSED? Did you set your tag in time?

"You don't get kids like that very often and some people peo-ple never get them." The talented threesome have Molen and the Timpanogos faithful believing that this could be a special season. "We've got the fastest kid in the state at running back and who I consider to be the best quarterback in the state," Molen Mo-len said. "Then you have David Kruger who might be the lineman line-man in the state."

She's one of those players that rises to the occasion." Domingo made a number of solid stops and only allowed the one American Fork goal to junior forward Kaycee Mansfield Man-sfield on a breakaway in the 72nd minute of play. On the other side of the ball, the Cavemen struggled to find any sort of rhythm. "I'm disappointed and a little discouraged," said American Fork head coach Rebecca Murdock. "I expected us to show up better. But this can be good if we learn from it. Hopefully it will help us work harder in practice."

The spread offense relies upon having several play-makers play-makers at the receiver and Timpanogos has several who fit the bill. Justin Nickle, Kevin Schade and Skyler Fairbanks return off of last year's team. The receiving re-ceiving core will be boosted by the addition of Grant Jimenez, who will bring the fearless approach ap-proach he has on the baseball diamond to the football field and provide the T'Wolves with yet another playmaker. With the talent of a senior class that has faced high expectations expec-tations for years, Timpanogos should be able to improve upon its 4-7 season last year and possibly contend for a region championship. "When I got this job I knew that the community wanted a region championship every year. As tough as that is, somehow we've got to find a way to make that happen or it is going to be a disappointment," disappoint-ment," Molen said. "Then hopefully win a couple of state playoff games.
