Davis uses 96-second spurt to break open tight contest By DALE BUBLITZ Standard-Examuner staff KAYSVILLE — It took 96 seconds for Davis High School to dispose of Layton on Friday. The game went the full 48 minules, but only 96 ticks were necessary in deciding the Darts’ 20-7 conquest of the Lancers before an estimated Homecoming crowd of 10,000. Over that seemingly short period of time, Davis produced 14 points — one touchdown each bythe offense and defense. And those two scores turned a tight game into a runaway. Theinitial touchdown came with six seconds left in the half when Darts’ quarterback Travis Homer unloaded a dumpoff pass to Nate Richardson barely ahead of an all-out blitz. Homer went down, but Richardson pranced into the end zone untouched from 17 yards out. “I couldn’t believe I was that wide open,” said Richardson. “I was sure when I caught it that a guy was on me.” “Actually, the play was designed to go to Richardson all the way,” Ridin’ and ropin’ It's that time again, as the Western States Finals rodeo 4B gets under way.

And with their offense we worried about every down.” Ogden finally got the wheels of its offense on track late in the game after self-destructing twice before. Using some creativity, Nathan Tueller found quarterback Ryan White on a 6-yard pass play that hit paydirt with just 2:34 left in the game.

Instead, Bear River will gladly settle for a 40-14 Region 5 victory that keeps the Bears tied with Mountain Crest for the early-season league lead. “I thought it would be a tight game, and every time you play a game you’re going to make mistakes. The one thing that I really liked was that we never quit,” said Bear River Coach Mike Rosky. Big plays were the story ofthis contest, as Bear River running back Jared Burnham ripped off scoring runs of 50 and 92 yards and sophomore quarterback Riley Nelson sprinted 92 yards on a bootleg. Both of Ben Lomond’s touch- downs were set up by Bear River turnovers. The Scots’ Cortney Sargeant blocked a first-quarter punt by the Bears’ LeGrand Woodworth after a low snap, with teammate Dusty Demille making the recovery in the end zone for a 7-7 tie. After Nelson called an audible on a Bear River punt attempt when he read a Ben Lomond blitz, he took the short snap and was snowed underat the Bears’ 34-yard line; the Scots’ Quentin Carter scored from 1 yard out five plays later. That turn of events put Ben Lomond right back in the game, trailing 19-14 with 4:35 left in the third quarter. The Scots’ Brady Stickler picked off Nelson’s flat pass over the middle on the Bears’ next offensive series at the 24-yard line and returned it to the 7. Ben Lomond got as far as the 5, but came away with nopoints when Chad Adcox’s fourth-down pass on a fake field-goal attempt sailed out of bounds. Nelson’s 92-yard dash down the left sideline broke the Scots’ spirits and opened thefloodgates for three unanswered scores. Burnham then tacked on his 92-yard TD gallop early in the fourth quarter, and Matt Hess capped the Bear River rout — in Ben Lomond’s Homecoming game — with a 48-yard interception return of Adcox’s pass with 44 minutes remaining. “If there is one negative thing about this football team, it’s our special teams play,” said Rosky. “We'll work on that next week.” tone for the day.
