Show tree f ress Sports h Lehi football closes great season on semifinal loss By TRACY WILSON All good things must come to an end, and so must a good football season. Lehi High School lost to Snow 28-2in Hansen Canyon, Stadium at Dixie College last Saturday in what most followers of the sport recognized as the championship for 3A even though it was billed as the semifinal. The SC team, 11-- 0 on the season, will now face Dixie in an contest at expected lack-lustDixie on Saturday for the official title. The Warriors beat Dixie easily during the regular season. In the quarterfinals, Dixie had beaten Wasatch and the Pioneers stomped Cedar City. Snow Canyon clubbed the Spartans of Emery as Delta edged North Sanpete. The Dixie Flyers then got past perennial strongman Delta in the other semi. In Saturday's matchup of the 2 Pioneers and the Warriors, Snow Canyon had to play catch up to beat the visitors. Brooksby Stafford rushed for 105 yards on 25 carries and scored three touchdowns to lead the No. 1 ranked team. "We outplayed them in every aspect of the game except the final score," said a disappointed Chad coach of the Wilson, second-yea- r Pioneers. "They made no mistakes 0, er 9-- , ;v?". 1 nil.. and we made several with penalties, missed tackles and a fumble," he concluded. He commented that the team had the ball inside the 10 twice and came away with no points. A lot of will point to the game ending interception by Matt Hickman with 57 seconds left in the game as the reason for the loss, but Wilson adamantly felt that Braden Cooper, Jason Nate Christofferson, Smith, Kelton Seth Butterfield, Sunderland and Cody Gillan led an inspired LHS eleven in their final game.

Butterfield was credited with a reception and a TD. On the defensive side of the ball, Sunderland and Gillan proved their worth with stellar line and secondary play. Cooper also got into the defensive act with a interception of Hickman. They held the Warriors to 337 yards with 207 coming on the ground out of the option offense.

Winter sports to take stage at Lehi High School By TRACY WILSON And the seasons change. Not summer to fall or fall to winter, but football, volleyball, soccer, cross country, tennis and golf to basketball, wrestling and swimming. Lehi High School sports are making a definite impression on the Utah state high school scene as the Pioneers already have laid claim to one state title, in girls soccer. In addition, they have rounded out the fall season with a fourth-plac- e finish in girls' tennis, a fifth-plac- e in volleyball, a second in girls' cross country and a semifinal loss in football to the predicted state champion, Snow Canyon. Basketball As Coach Chad Wilson packs the pads away, Coach Dave Filimoehala breaks out the jump ropes, the rebound ring and the round balls in the two high profile sports. Although the other sports are important and draw their share of attention, everyone knows that football and basketball are the that draw most of money-maker- s the fans to weekly contests. Filimoehala has the makings of a repeat performance for the defending state basketball championship which they won with an easy 71-5- 9 whipping of Dixie last March. The Purple and White round-ballewill take to the maples this week in tryouts and aim for a Nov. 29 opener against Clark High School of Las Vegas at the Southern Utah University tournament. Millard is also in the draw for SUU on Nov. 30. The Pioneers are the team to beat (although Coach Fili insists that Union should have the top team with Park City boasting the most talent). But if fans will recall, that's what people thought last season as the Pioneers methodically chiseled away at the competition to eventually win the state title with a lineup. With the loss of Lance Magnusson, Clint Smith and Tyler Turner, Lehi is still left with a solid nucleus for this year's squid. A lot of the talent from last year is well over 6 feet in height and there is some very capable speed and shooting ability on the team. Braden Luke Magnusson, Cooper and Mike Christofferson shared honors with a host of seniors from across the state in n last year's mythical team selections. Joining Magnusson at nearly 7 are expected to be Andy Hadfield and On the Grant Ellsworth also at to see line expect guard rs pre-sea-s- no-st- ar post-seaso- 6-- 6-- Christofferson and Cooper, and off the bench could be the twin Jasons Childs and Yates. Seth Sunderland, Scott Thayn and Kelton Butterfield also saw a lot of action in last year's campaign and could be counted on heavily this season. Last year's squad finished with a 20-- 5 record and the junior varsity had a 16-- 4 season to compleCoach ment the varsity. Filimoehala will be joined by Lonnie Magnusson, Lynn Allan and Ed Ruder from last year's coaching ranks so the brain trust is solid and could produce another great year of Pioneer Basketball. Girls basketball Sharing time on the hardcourt is the women's basketball program under the direction of coach Eric Drage. The girls have the makings of a quality team with Brittney Allred, Jana Fullmer and Katye Gillman back from last year's .500 squad. Add to that Cally Gillman, Callie Trane, Andrea Godwin and Darcie Bailey, together with Cary Hobbs, Kim Allan and Lacy Yates, and there is a formidable force that opponents must deal with. Wasatch High School, the defending state girls' champion, is still the team to beat in 3A with Snow wolf documentary to By BRIAN BRINKERHOFF Outdoors Correspondent KUED Channel 7 will premier an hour long documentary on an intimate portrait of wolf behavior, communication, and habitat, titled, The Snow Wolves, airing Sunday, Nov. 24 at 8 p.m.. In addition to the featured white arctic wolves and their pups near the Great Slave Lake in Canada, The Snow Wolves also explores the lives of nearly-extinred wolves in North Carolina, Mexican wolves in New Mexico, canines, and hybrids across the Intermountain West. Viewers will also have the opportunity to view ct Caribou, Musk Oxen, Grizzly Bears, and other creatures, which live with wolves in the wild. Although this program does of address the reintroduction wolves to Yellowstone, it does discuss both sides of this controversial move. KUED Senior Producer, John Howe commented, "It's done in a style. Viewers hear the rancher's arguments, along with the environmental issues." He added, "Viewers also see the first documented wolf pups born in Yellowstone. If the success of the wolves continues, full recovery of the park's wolf population is projected by the year 2002." air Nov. 24 Howe has produced several popular local productions, including Return of the Wolves and Elko: A some of Cowboy Gathering, KUED's highest rated local productions. Howe has also earned several Emmy Awards, Cine Golden Eagle Awards, Iris Awards, and others for other documentaries he produced earlier in his career. Howe concluded, "If you want to learn something about wolves, this film is where you will find out about them." The Snow Wolves will be rebroadcast on Saturday, Nov. 30 at 7 p.m. their sharpshooting Summerhays leading the Wasps. Drage is joined by Tyler Munson, Cyd Revill and Sharla Cook as the coaching staff. Allred, Fullmer, Bailey and Yates all stretch the tape to nearly six feet and the guard line is capable with K. Gillman, Trane and Allan expected to lead the way. The Lady Pioneers lost out in last year's state tournament to the Hurricane Tigers. fem as? Wrestling The grunt and groan of wrestling will begin seriously this week at the Pioneer school as coach John Gavin and his assistants Dan Rice and Joe Grant work to shape their individual grapplers into a team. Six prospective team members who will be counted on heavily for honors this year include medal winners from last winter's state meet. Kyler Fisher, Lehi's heavyweight at 265 lbs., finished second last year when he weighed only 235. At third in the state meet was mat-maClint Snyder, a who will probably be in the same division this year. Rounding out the varsity experience is Kevin Jeffrey, a junior, who finished fourth at 112 and will probably move up to 130 this season. Three ninth graders bring experience and state titles from the eighth grade wars to the high school program. Coby Wilson at 145, Trent Bassett at 112 and Tyler Nelson at 103 each won junior high titles last season and will be counted on heavily this season at the LHS varsity level. Coach Gavin expects to have nearly 50 boys on the mats this season as they prepare for season and state tournaments. 160-poun- d Swimming Coach Dennis Meyring has had his swimmers and divers busy getting in shape for the water wars as they have already had a couple of outings in preparation for their region competition and state meet slated for early February.
