The young Templars scored on their first two possessions and the rest of the game was a stalemate. Speedback Devin Frischknecht scored the first touchdown for the Junior Templars and halfback Josh Hugentobler scored the second. Defensive end Matt Lyons came up with a fumble recovery with less than three minutes left in the game to stop a threatening Juab drive. Lyons later added a key quarterback sack to help preserve the win. That was coupled with hard nosed defensive work by Aaron Hansen, Bo Congdon, and Josh Davis, and fense.

In terms of distance, the trip to the Wasatch Front is as simple as it gets; however, in terms of the two opponents' strength and national rankings, there is no other trip in the nation that compares. On Thursday, the Lady Badgers traveled to Orem to battle the No. Lady Wolverines. Coach Les Calles and his squad played WSC earlier this season, but that was before the Lady Wolverines added two top players to their roster, putting them among the NJCAA's elite. In spite of the odds, Snow battled WSC to the end, eventually losing in three straight, 1 4 and 1 1 0. The Lady Badgers 15-- 5-- 5-- 8, put themselves in position to win two games, but failed to take advantage.
