The Kearns high Cougars, perhaps setting a standard for the future, refused to give up on themselves Saturday, even when hopelessly behind. The Cougars suffered a 4 state playoff defeat at the hands of Bountiful in a contest that was statistically much closer, and despite the season-endin- g loss, capped the season with a measure of respect and glory. Were already looking forward to next season, admitted Coach Tom Larson, who along with his staff, brought the Cougars out of the doldroms to a third place finish in Region Three and a spot in the playoffs. And why not. Several key Cougars will return, though it will be hard to replace the likes of Kenny Carrillo, Mapui Tai, Troy Staley and Troy Kehoe, to name just a few. Due to return are Kava Afu, Todd Bills, Mike Holfeltz, Dean Larson and Doug Spies, and others who played key roles in this seasons success. On Saturday, it was an aggressive, 41-1- gambling style that finally proved to Cougars passed for 239 yards, key the margin of victory. But it was although Bountiful stopped the that style that got the Cougars where Kearns ground game. The Braves scored the first 10 they are and to lose by fewer points, would not have added any luster to points of the contest, kicking a field goal with 1:09 left in the the season. punt left the They were still hitting just as first period.

It backfired when Kehoe was picked off and the play was returned for a Brave score and a 4 lead. The second half was all Bountiful after a Cougar fumble set up a touchdown and a personal foul put the Braves back in business deep in field Kearns territory.

He also stated that a bevy of assistant coaches deserve the credit for the way things turned out this season. They never gave up on this program through some pretty tough times. For them and for the kids who stuck it out, Im happy that things turned out as well as they did, Larson concluded. penalty. In addition to the obvious pride he took in the rise from the ashes by the team, Larson had praise for the community support enjoyed by the Cougars this season. He was also pleased with the administrative, faculty and student body attitude toward the program. He felt that support may have helped turn the tide in some of the close contests the team was able to 24-1- Win.

A missed extra point and a pass interception for a touchdown ended up as the key plays in Murray highs upset of Cedar City in the opening round of the 3A state playoffs Friday. With four minutes left in the contest, Murray cornerback Brett snapped up a Cedar pass and raced 45 yards for what ended up as the winning touchdown. Murray missed the point after, however, giving the Spartans a 13-- 6 lead and leaving the Redmen with a chance to tie or even win if they could get a touchdown and a conversion. The lead looked even more tenuous when the Spartans fumbled at their own 30 on the next Murray possession. Two plays later, Cedar but missed City scored a the critical PAT. Murray was able to run the remaining time off the clock. Murray coach Dale Pehrson wasnt sure if making the five-hotrip south on Thursday rather than game day was a major factor in his charges play or whether it was the simple fact of making the playoffs that spurred them on. But whatever the case, Pehrson felt his Spartans were ready to play. By the end of the first quarter, I just got this feeling that the kids were determined to get this one," he explained. They were getting off the ball, gang tackling and making key defensive plays when we needed 13-1- 2 two-poi- them. They were excited about playing this game and it showed. .

Cedar City, he continued. But then every game from here on out will have to be our best. Our goal is to get to the turf.
