But it still doesn't sit well and Coach Elders grid troops this Eagles test ' Good Denfense? While he would not concede entirely that his charges turned in a good defensive game last week (You call giving up three touchdowns good defense?), the Busier boss was encourage by the pursuit and hard gang tackling they displayed. He figures the kids must adjust to his system of defense in this first year and will get better. He had to be happy also at the punting of Richard Reimers who launched some dandies, one soaring job under extreme pressue on a low snap from center. Also in retrospect, Workman said last week's losing effort didnt result from a lack of trying. The players 'worked hard to deliver but werent good enough in the execution of their assignments, he explained. If they can cut down on mental mistakes and turnovers, on Friday For the first time in Intermountain school's brief grid history, it is a legitimate contender to the Region Nine title. Coach Bill Yeates, looking over his roster of athletes, is pleased with the size and speed of his team and the interest shown by new athletes attending the school. Despite an opening season loss to Dugway 6 last Friday, the Eagles are more talented than the final results indicate. We've got good personnel. Weve just go to get them in the right spots, said Coach Yeates. Were two weeks behind other schools since our kids just got to school a little over a week ago. Timing is our big struggle. Yeates said he feels his team is much stronger than last year with more depth. He has about double the players out over last years club.

Noting Cedar City coaches traveled to Garland to scout the Bears, he said the Redmen will find the Bears running basically the same things that whipped Payson. 1 To Outside However, the Bears will try to get its speed to the outside more in this game and run more earlier in the game. The Bears found the Payson defense receptive to the forward pass and exploited that advantage. Jacobsen said personnel will remain about the same as started in the first gme. At quarterback will be Mark Williams, a surprisingly good passer with the added dimension of the run, with Chris Webb at fullback and Curtis Kidman at tailback.

If I had a criticism, it would be that he spent too much time punishing his man, rather than releasing him and taking on the ballcarrier," the coach said. Jacobsen said those making the 300 or so mile trip to Cedar City probably will see similar offenses from the two teams and some wide open scoring. win.

A Bear River High school running back who averaged 6.4 yards a carry against Payson High school last Friday has been named the First Box Elder News and Journal High School Athlete of the Week.
