Morgan crushed Homecoming hopes of Templars with resounding 46-- 6 score. Templars lose homecoming 46-- 6 to Morgan game BY BRUCE JENNINGS The good news for Manti High School football team is that the Templars, who have been playing the top Region 9 teams, face teams with similar records in their remaining three games. Friday afternoon at 4 the Templars host winless Juab on Snow Field. And further down the road they play Grand County and North Sanpete, other teams with losing records. That means Manti still has a good chance to achieve a reasonably respectable record. And further good news for the Templar football in the immediate future, is that at least five of the seven starters who missed the homecoming game with Morgan because of assorted injuries, will be back this week. Manti and Juab, on the basis of comparative scores, are evenly matches. The Templars, for example, lost to South Summit and Juab lost to the same team 14-2- 1 20-2- 9. Head Coach Bill Sullivan said he plans to start a revamped backfield this week, with Ryan Anderson as quarterback and Steve Olsen and Mark Nielsen at running back. That, he thinks, will give the Templars more power on offense. The bad news for Manti football, of course, was that they lost their homecoming game to third-ranke- Morgan last week d by a 46-- score. The Trojans scored in their second possession on Matt Larsens 29 yard run into the Templar end zone. They scored twice more in the first half. 6 The Templars actually outplayed Morgan in the second quarter, with 63 yards on offense to the Trojans 60 and getting on the scoreboard and getting on the scoreboard for their only tally when Steve Olsen ran 32 yards for a touchdown. The conversion attempt failed. At the half Morgan was ahead 20-- and the Templars two-poi- nt 6 were still in the game. But the second half was a different story, with the Trojans piling up the score on the basis of long runs and pass plays. The game statistics show Manti with 107 net yards on offense - 57 rushing and 50 on passing, and Morgan with a net 397 yards on offense - 331 yards rushing and 66 passing. But strangely enough, each team made an identical seven first -- downs. The Trojans piled on their big yardage on about eight long yardage plays. Steven Olsen, Allan Church and Duane Campbell played on both the offensive and defensive units for the Templars. Except for a few seconds at the end, Steve was in action the entire game. He was credited with 79 yards on offense, Mantis lone touchdown and was named player of the week for both units by the coaching staff. The Lady Badgers smashed impressive victory over visiting Colorado Northwestern Community College. Snow easily won their first home match of the year 15-- 15-- 15-The Badgers played through some injuries to start the Intermountain Collegiate Athletic Conference season with a record. The win improves their overall record to I expected them to be a lot tougher, commented coach Jeppson, but we stressed the importance of playing without any mistakes all week long in practice. Since this was our first conference game I made sure the kids knew that every serve counted, every point was important and that we just couldnt be making mistakes. The Badgers entered the match with both of their team captains injured. Julie Smith is trying to get over a torn stomach muscle and plays the best she can with a brace on. Roxanne the Nalder had her foot before and the it game night was determined that she had tendonitis and not a stress fracture. Erin Tanner is still feeling the effects of a serious ankle sprain picked up at the CEU tournament a week ago in Price. The Lady Badgers have what may be their toughest road trip of the season this weekend. They travel to Provo to take on UVCC on Thursday, then on to Idaho for a Friday contest with CSI 4, 1-- 1, 7. 0 21-1- 1. and a Saturday battle with Ricks College. UVCC is definitely the most important one for us right now since they are in our conference," said Jeppson. Utah Valley and Snow are expected to finish first and second in the conference, with the winner hosting the regional playoffs. Both CSI and Ricks are important tests as well because both teams are in Region 18 and the Badgers would have to likely beat one of them to advance to the nationals in November. The Badgers return home next Thursday, October 10, when they host College of Eastern Utah at 7 p.m. in the Activity Center.

The first safety came when the Badgers had a punt blocked, the next two when the ball was snapped over the head of the punter and the fourth came when the Snow strategy was to run time off the clock towards the end of the game. Ricks has a good defense," said Coach Paul Tidwell. fWe , have scored more points against them than any other team this year." Our offense got a little rattled in the second half, said Tidwell. We are young offensively and sometimes they let the pressure get to them." The Badgers are in good shape in the WSFL with one league loss and just two road, games left.
