From that point on, the tempo of the match changed and American Fork became the relentless aggressor.

Measom added some insurance insur-ance on a 40-yard field goal in the second quarter to give the Dons a 13-0 half time lead. If Measom was available in fantasy football drafts, bis stock would have risen significantly sig-nificantly Friday night, as he finished with three critical field goals, including two from 40 yards or more. A fire was lit under the American Fork team at half-time half-time and the Cavemen came out swinging after the break. With Spanish Fork focusing on the Cavemen running game, American Fork managed to keep Game 2 close, despite a run from the Knights that saw four Laycock ace serves, an Olsen Ol-sen block and three Tusieseina kills. Rae Mulitalo had two kills and an assist to help keep the Cavemen Cave-men in the game.

The loud Cavemen spectators specta-tors gallery erupted as American Ameri-can Fork took the lead for good. Defenders Whitney Fuller, Haley Kellersberger, Jennifer Packham and Carlie Wimmer did a fantastic job shutting down Lone Peak to preserve the upset win. The win was special for many reasons.

After the Cavemen turned a botched PAT attempt into a successful two-point conversion, con-version, the Spanish Fork lead had shrunk to 13-8. After a beautifully -placed punt by Spanish Fork punter Matt Gardner, the Cavemen Representing American Fork were Alyson Jeffery at No. 1 singles, Braelyn Barron at No. 2 singles and Shydi Norton at No. 3 singles. Although she lost in two sets, Norton did win four games in her match. At No. 1 doubles, Kelsey Still-son Still-son and Taylor Jeffery played for the Cavemen, and at No. 2 doubles, it was Melinda Feather-stone Feather-stone and Ariel Bezzant.

The defeat did not hurt the Cavemen's playoff position as they still finished ahead of the Pioneers by virtue of having a tie instead of a loss. The Pioneers led the entire game. Grabbing the offensive quickly, Lehi put much pressure pres-sure on the American Fork defense. For a little while, defender de-fender Haley Kellersberger and goalie April Hansen staved off the Lehi attacks. When the game clock read 33:40, Lehi's Jamie Smith kicked in a goal. It tipped the momentum momen-tum to Lehi's favor. Playing in a game for the first time this season, Shayla Holmstead stole the ball from Nikki Ybarra and sparked another Lehi attack.
