PLEASAN- T- The North Sanpete Hawks are glad that last Fridays football game with the Carbon Dinos had four quarters. The Hawks jumped to a quick lead, napped through the middle of the game and then woke up in time to put 3 and away the Dinos clinch a share of the Region 27-1- 8 crown. Two-tim- e defending North Sanpete shares the title this year with Delta and Lehi who also finished with league records champion of 3-- 1.

Delta won the coin toss and will host either Ben Lomond, Tooele or Ogden, while Lehi is the third seed and must travel to Morgan for the first round. Church ran the ball in for a two-poiconversion to put the Hawks ahead 20-1- 3. The Dinos tried a reverse Wootton finished with 120 yards on 21 carries, both season highs for the speedy soph. Johnson had his best on the ensuing kick off return, but having seen the same play earlier in the game, North Sanpete was right on top of it and nailed Carbons Jacob Burrows at the one. After no gain on first down, Davis stumbled as he went back to pass on second down and was hit as he threw by North Sanpetes Kyle Turpin. The pass fluttered to Church at the three and the Hawk sophomore picked it off and stepped into the end zone untouched to put the game out of reach. Johnson booted the point-af- ter to make the final score 3 and clinch North Sanpetes third straight region ground game of the season ending up with 89 yards on 19 rushes, while Church added 56 yards on 12 carries. nt Fourth place Emery will travel to Garland near the Idaho border to take on the state-p- Es Bear River. top ranked team, North Sanpete scored and racked up 143 total offense in the of yards first period to take a 12-- 0 twice 27-1- title.

PLEASAN- T- High school cross country runners from all around Utah made their annual trek to Salt Lake Citys Sugarhouse Park on Wednesday, Oct. 22, to participate in the UHSAAs State Championship races. The event becomes quite a spectacle as the day unfolds since cross country is one of just two sports in which 1A to 5A, boys and girls, all compete in the same place on the same day.

Five minutes later Tyson Church took what would be the Hawks only pass completion of the game at the 26, but coughed up the ball as he was hit at the three. Tight end Andrew Gardner alertly pounced on the ball in the end zone for the Hawks second score. With the Dinos seemingly on the ropes early, North Sanpete decided to hibernate through the second and third quarters. The Hawk offense gained only 19 yards in the second and 30 through most of the third. Meanwhile, Carbon cut the lead in half midway through the second period on an 11 yard pass from Daniel Davis to Brandon Manzanar-e-- s.

In the 1A Boys Championships, Wasatch Academys Reo Tahara delivered a stellar performance as he cruised to a 15th overall finish. Tahara, the Region 18 champion, applied his talents until early October to the successful Wasatch baseball and only then program, turned his attention to endurance training.

The North Sanpete at ReHawks, runners-u- p gion, toed the line with some of Utahs premier cross country programs. Junior Bryce Carr, back from an uncharacteristically subpar Region race, was prepared to redeem himself against Region and foes alike. In addition, four out of the Hawk varsity seven had never been tested against Utahs best at Sugarhouse Park. They acquitted themselves nicely and rose to the challenge in finishing a respectable 13th in 3A. Carr, meanwhile, led his team again in running to a 20th overall individual finish in 17:21. Rounding out the team scoring were Steve Martineau, Eric Heywood, Alex Christensen and Steven Cox. Cedar High posted a mild upset to take the team championship away from the ion non-Reg- heat-relate- lems. Moreover, the challenging hills in the first half of the three-mil- e course left the unwary harriers overextended much too soon in their races. This race, truly, belonged to the experienced and wily runners.
