Show Citizen - Wednesday, Oct 19, 1988 Page 9 D spnrt I vrnnT m mmm mm m m m - mm m Cavemen outlast Thunderbirds 6-3 Wednesday By DEAN VON MEMMOTT The American Fork Cavemen's 6-3 win on the Timpview Thunder-birds' Thunder-birds' field Wednesday night was downright dirty literally. With rain having soaked the ground several hours before, neither nei-ther team could march the ball clear down the field. Furthermore, both sides were hampered by turnovers turn-overs made possible by the mud. So it was hardly any wonder that the game was a low scoring affair. In reflecting on the conditions, Caveman Coach Davis Knight said, That's the kind of football we might play somewhere in the playoffs. play-offs. It's good that our kids have that kind of experience now." Knowing how difficult running the ball would be, Timpview quarter quar-ter Gary Trowbridge took to the air during the first Thunderbird march. All he could gain on three straight passes was a grand total of three yards. After Caveman Brett Bunker caught a Timpview punt at the Caveman 40, Knight had his jay-vees jay-vees initiate the first American Fork drive of the game. They didn't stay on the field for long. On the third down, quarterback quarter-back Rob Lamb threw an interception intercep-tion to defensive end Danny Nelson, Nel-son, who returned it 10 yards to the Caveman 43. A 12-yard pass from Trowbridge to Brett Wimmer gave Timpview the gas it needed for its only successful suc-cessful scoring drive of the game. Following that critical pass, run-ningback run-ningback Billy King raced 2 1 yards to the five. But just as Timpview was on the verge of scoring a touchdown, Caveman lineman Justin Hall rushed through a wall of Thunder-birds Thunder-birds and sacked Trowbridge for a 15-yard loss. Two plays later, Timpview had Jason Ross kick a 32-yard field goal. It marked the first time since Brighton that an opposing team had put points on the board before the Cavemen. Ross' field goal didn't demoralize American Fork, though. After Bart Jorgansen's 20-yard kickoff return to the American Fork 25, sophomore running back Jeremy Dalton sprinted 16 yards, makingit possible for the Cavemen to make their first penetration of Thunderbird territory. But the march slowed down after an unsportsmanlike conduct against Timpview put American Fork within 34 yards of the end zone. A two-yard carry by Dalton was erased when defensive lineman line-man Jim Ngatuvai's nailed Jacob Hodges for an eight-yard loss that ended the drive. A 20-yard punt by Caveman John Davis positioned the Thunderbirds Thun-derbirds deep in the hole. Trowbridge Trowbr-idge tried lifting them out of it by passing 20 yards to Wimmer. The pass would have done the trick, h ad it not been for an illegal motion call against Timpview. The penalty killed what could have been a key drive for the Thunderbirds. Meanwhile, the Cavemen's offense of-fense continued having problems of its own. With its jayvees having no luck against the Thunderbird defense, de-fense, American Fork unleashed its varsity offense on Timpview. Thanks to the conditions, the Cavemen's first-string offense AF Colts capture little league grid title with win over Bears By DEAN VON MEMMOTT The American Fork Colts came from behind to beat the Highland-Alpine Highland-Alpine Bears 24-13 in the title game of the Utah Valley Football Conference at Rotary Park Saturday Satur-day night. The game was a thriller from beginning to end. After the two squads battled to a scoreless deadlock in the first quarter, quar-ter, Colt James Albright broke the game open with his recovery of a punt that Bear Brian Westover fumbled on the Highland-Alpine 5. The fumble recovery resulted in a touchdown run by Dave Bartholomew. Highland-Alpine spoiled American Fork's celebration celebra-tion by preventing it from scoring an extra point. The Colts' first lead vanished quickly during the next Bear march. Highland-Alpine scored a TD on a one-yard keeper play. Bear Brandon Peck then caught an extra point pass that broke the tie. With Brooks Houghton and Derek Allred alternating at quar terback, American Fork soon staged a long drive into Bear country. coun-try. The march collapsed when Bear Rhodes sacked Allred for a 10-yard 10-yard loss just before halftime. Highland-Alpine kept ahead until the early fourth quarter when Westover again fumbled a punt, which Albright recovered on the Bear 29. On the next play, Bartholomew rolled around to the right for a 29-yard touchdown run. Smothering the Colts' extra point try, Highland-Alpine capitalized capital-ized on American Fork penalties long enough for Travis Hall to catch a 15-yard touchdown pass. It proved not to be enough to save the Beers' hopes of repeating as UVFC champs. On their next drive, the Colts capitalized on big Bear pen alties as they marched to the one-yard line, where Bartholomew slipped through the middle for a touchdown. touch-down. A short time later, Allred picked off a touchdown and raced 30 yards for a touchdown to end the game.

On the other hand, American Fork's first-string defense managed man-aged to stand its ground. For instance, in-stance, early in the second quarter, Bunker picked off a Trowbridge pass and returned it to the Thunderbird Thun-derbird 48. Another big defensive piny cropped up in the middle of the quarter. After Trowbridge had fired an 11 -yard pass to wide receiver re-ceiver Jason Cook, senior linebacker line-backer Kent Clayton broke through the line and sacked the quarterback for a 10-yard loss. That crippled the drive, and after Caveman Jeff Thomas knocked down a pass, the Thunderbirds had to punt. Late in the quarter, Thunderbird Thunder-bird Chad Kay's sacked quarterback quarter-back Doug Meacham for a five-yard loss, which ironically turned out to be a blessing in disguise for American Ameri-can Fork. Right afterwards, the Thunderbirds fumbled away a punt on their 20-yard line, where Meacham recovered the ball at 3:12. Wide receiver Matt Christo-pherson Christo-pherson caught a nine-yard pass making possible for running back Jason Dalton to put American Fork inside the 10. Bunker capped the drive when he caught a pass in the end zone, putting American Fork up 6-3. Timpview junior lineman Matt Giles blocked Davis' extra point kick. After that, the game turned into a mucky, defensive battle. During the second half, Timpview's defense produced the biggest sacks of the game. Brett Stolton and Bob Bearsen, for in stance, each nailed Meacham for 10-yard losses that prevented American Fork from picking up first downs. Also, Timpview looked as though it would score again when Kay and King produced long runs that put the team at the American Fork 20 midway through the third quarter. But as soon as the Thunderbirds Thun-derbirds got that far, their drive turned sour. First they lost several yards on a fumble. Then Caveman Sam Har-ward Har-ward blocked a field goal kick at the 35. Following Harward's play, the Cavemen marched to the Timpview 28, but couldn't go any farther. The fourth quarter was an interception inter-ception derby. Making the first pickoff that period was Meacham, who picked off the pass only to fumble the ball. Jeremy Dalton recovered it for the Cavemen. Meacham picked off another pass late in the quarter when Timpview was deep in American Fork territory. But after that turnover, turn-over, sophomore Thunderbird Matt Ba tern an intercepted a pass at the Caveman 38. The turnover couldn't keep the Thunderbirds' touchdown hopes alive, though. Caveman Tom Lamb stopped them with an interception of his own, and American Fork ate up the remaining time to seal the win. This week, the Cavemen will finish Region Two play at Alta Thursday at 3 p.m. A win over the Hawks is expected to give American Ameri-can Fork a home field advantage in next week's state 4-A football oc-tafinals.
