Show Citizen - Wednesday, May fi, 1987 spirts A.F. downs Hillcrest, Bingham in soccer wins By DEAN VON MEMMOTT Even though the American Fork Cavemen's dreams of taking region in soccer died weeks ago, they are enjoying their roles as being the league's spoilers. Last week, they extended their w inning streak to four at the expense of top-ranked Hillcrest and cellar-dwelling cellar-dwelling Bingham. Last Tuesday, American Fork sent shock waves through 4-A soccer as it stunned the visiting Hillcrest Huskies 2-1. Even though Hillcrest was a top-ranked top-ranked team in the state, Caveman Coach Curtis Craig said, "I never thought they were as good as us. The last time we played them, I knew that we were capable of beating them." In that last meeting, American Fork got on the board first, but defensive mistakes late in the first half allowed Hillcrest to score three quick goals. The Huskies went on to win 4-1. At that time, Craig regarded the loss as the Cavemen's best game that far in the season. Ironically, the performance they put on Tuesday was mostly not as good as the one they put on at Hillcrest. True, the Cavemen held Hillcrest to one goal in the first half, but Craig thought the team lacked enthusiasm. en-thusiasm. Therefore, Craig did Top Ten Flyers begin As local Softball groups conduct sign-ups and organize programs for the summer season, the Top Ten Flyers are already five games into league play. Beginning their fifth year together, the roster has only a few changes. Having coached the Flyers to a state championships as 12-year-olds, as well as finishing the '86 season as Utah state champions and ranking seventh in the nation as a 15 and under team, coaches George Storey and Lane Scott are optimistic op-timistic about the ladies' ability to compete in the 18 and under division. Since a large part of last season's competition was playing up in 18-under 18-under and after taking first in league and tournament play, they approach the '87 season with a If all the year were playing holidays, to sport would be as tedious as to work. -Shakespeare An unheard-of price for the most in lawn care This is your chance of SNAPPER s Hi-Vacs."

So I started yelling at the ref to get them excited. After I got a yellow card, the players got really excited, and so did the crowd." Craig complained, loudly, when a Husky player wasn't cited for a dangerous play. When the Cavemen finally became enthusiastic, momentum swung to their favor. At that time the score was tied at one. Earlier in the first half's closing minutes, Husky Mark Collin kicked in the game's first goal from inside the penalty box. Early in the next half, sophomore Ryan Quilter evened the game at one, and he would have broken the tie late in the first half had Hillcrest's Todd Clark not fallen on the ball while the Caveman was dribbling it into the penalty box. Since Clark was not the Husky goalie, a ref showed him a yellow card, and American Fork was awarded a free kick. Selected to make it, Darin Edwards looked at goalkeeper Foy Flinders as he concentrated on the ball. The Caveman booted it into the net. "They may say we won the game on just a penalty kick but. hev. I'm so proud of my kids," Craig said. "They came from behind to win." In contract to the Hillcrest game, positive attitude.

Craig said, "Last night, I told the team, 'You can always take state, but if you lose this game, you will always remember it.' " As it turned out, the game was, in Craig's own words, "just another win for us, but it will get us ready for Brighton and Orem." The Cavemen host both squads this week. This is how American Fork massacred the Miners: Sophomore Steve Brockbank made the first Caveman goal early in the first half, then teammate Lance Caldwell scored the second goal on a penalty kick. After the Cavemen grabbed a quick 2-0 lead, the Miners tried to fifth year topped the Senior Aces 6-1.

Following Jackson's second goal, Lance Caldwell stole the ball and scored a point. David Draper then made the score 6-0, and Craig cleared his bench to give the starters and Bingham a break. After John Davis replaced Broadbent in the goalie spot, Bingham finally got on the board. Miners Arnold Pearson and Matt Morgan each scored on a corner kick. Save for those two goals, Craig said, "We played really solid defense." together came ack with more determination against the top ranked Heat WAve with a shutout 2-0, in a four inning, time limit game which was played in the rain.
