A keep us in the ball game defense and an explosive offense combined for the the third time to net Cyprus a victory as the Pirates edged Cottonwood at Cottonwood if youre not ready to play you lose, commented Granger coach Mike come-from-behi- Friday set Fraser following his teams back at the hands of Skyline Friday. I dont know, maybe the fact that weve won 16 of our last 19 games got 14-- 14-- Tough as the past three games have been for Cyprus, however, the Pirates sternest test may come tomorrow night (Friday) at 7:30 when Olympus pays a call. Both teams are in league play at the league lead will be on the line. Cottonwood, which has lost three close games in a row, will host at 3:30 p.m., both Granite, also teams badly needing a win to turn things around. In Fridays game, Cyprus trailed at the half, tied at in the third quarter and won it with a pass from quarterback Paul Allen to tailback Sidney Freeman with 3:50 left on the clock. 1 know its beginning to sound like a broken record, noted Pirate coach Jerry Simonson, but, if our defense can keep us close going into the fourth quarter, we have the kind of offense that can put points on the board in a hurry. Seeing that happen for the the third time in a row, added Simonson, has given his players a kind of quiet confidence. They dont panic if were behind by touchdown going into the final period, he stated. Colt coach Tom Jones felt his defense played very well for three quarters of the game, especially against the rush. We only gave up 12 yards on the ground and once stopped them (Cyprus) inside our three-yar- d line, he reported. But their passing game started to work and they stuck with it. Our defensive backs didnt play that badly, he continued, they just didnt get enough help underneath and we didnt put enough pressure on their quarterback. Cottonwoods only touchdown came on its first possession of the game, a drive, 56 yards of which were picked up on a run by Matt Pugmire. John Prows got into the endzone on a dive and Blaine Burnett kicked the extra point. The score held up through the rest of the first half and until the 1:58 mark of the third quarter, when Cyprus, sparked by long punt return by Freeman, evened it up with a six- - 0 the kids thinking all they had to do is show up. Fraser hopes, believes that attitude, if it was present Friday, has been put firmly to rest. After all, tomorrow (Friday) is homecoming with the now once beaten Lancers hosting (yes, hosting) once beaten Taylorsville in an ever tightening league chase. Game time is 7:30 p.m. 0 0-- 7-- 0 In this league, WEST VALLEY. 7-- 7 one-yar- d 7-- 0 Granger will be on its home turf for the first, and possibly only time during the regular season for tomorrows (Fridays) homecoming game. School administrators and district officials rulled that the sod in the Lancers newly renovated football facility has taken root well enough to stand up to one contest. However, the remainder of Grangers home games will be played away. BURIED ALIVE . . . Cottonwood ball carrior Chad Fish (44) is buriod beneath a hoard of Cyprus tacklers in Friday afternoon contest action by the Colts. Once again, Cyprus was able to post the winning points in the final period, emerging with a 14-- victory. 7 yard pass from Allen to Bob Croyle and the first of two extra points by Kurt Henroid. Cyprus game winner was also set up by a Freeman punt return. The senior tailback finished the day with return yardage of 135 that, added to his pass receiving and rushing, gave him a total of 188 yards. Allen was 14x27 passing for 196 yards, all but 20 yards of it coming in the second half. Allen spread his passes around between Croyle, Freeman, Bill Robbs and Brent Lamb. In highlighting the passing yardage, coach Simonson added praise for the the pass blocking of his offensive line, Tom Driffil, Wyatt Stan-wortShawn Wall, Guy Stewart and Don Prows. Lamb and Croyle added some passes not meant for them, as Lamb recorded two interceptions and Croyle one on defense. Scott Beck also picked off a Colt pass. Cottonwood with 220 total yards, d actually Cyprus. Matt Pugmire picked up 118 of the Colts 157 ground yards on just 10 carries. Quarterbacks Chad Fletcher and Cedric Whetten were 6x15 and 2x2 passing, respectively, for 60 and seven yards. h, Kearns Rambles Past Fraser felt his team played very football against the uninspired rapidly improving Eagles, pointing to the total offense figures as an example. We had 257 yards total, while Skyline had 185, he noted, and we still lost. We got 4.5 yards per play, and they got 3.5. If there was a key, Fraser felt, it was in field position. Skyline opened its first possession on the Lancer 40 yard line and, despite firm resistance from the defense, broke a draw play for its first touchdown. PREP POLL PROVO.

If bad luck had a name this season, it would have to be Granite. The Farmer lineup, thin to begin with, received a body blow at the most critical spot in the line, quarterback. With Tony Moulton already down with a blown knee, the Farmers lost their backup man to a broken collar bone in a J.V. game on Thursday. Third-strin- g signal caller Mark Niederhauser gave a commendable effort, but couldnt move his offense against Kearns defense. After an 80 yard drive, Kearns first scoring opportunity was dashed with fumble at the goal line early in the second quarter. The defense forced Granite to punt from deep in its own territory and the Cougar offense started over at the Farmer 33.

Frustrated, the Lancers tried, but missed on a field goal. Skyline took over and moved down to the Granger 40 before the Eagles were forced to a halt. Their punt, however, left Granger in a hole and the Lancers were unable to move out from beneath the shadows of their own goal posts. A poor punt into the win gave Skyline another shot from Grangers 31 and the Eagles wasted little time in passing for the six pointer. The Eagles then tacked on a conversion for a 14-- 0 advantage. Granger, in the words of coach Fraser, kind of woke up in the third quarter, the defnese shutting down the Eagles and the offense two-poi- starting to move the ball. Titans Hold Off Warriors In Wild Grid Test TAYLORSVILLE. In a contest described by both coaches as a wild one, Olympus highs football squad notched its second league victory in as many weeks, weathering a third quarter burst by Taylorsville to earn a 9 decision Friday afternoon. Olympus will remain on the road this week, traveling to Cyprus tomorrow (Friday) for a 7:30 p.m. game. The Pirates are also unbeaten in league play and are 0 overall. Taylorsville will also be on unfriendly turf, challenging Granger on its homecoming, the Lancers first and perhaps only home game of the regular season, set for 4:30 p.m. Granger is, no doubt, enraged by its 14-- 0 loss to Skyline. The Titans held 26-- 7 halftime advantage only to watch the Warriors explode for three third quarter touchdowns, eventually ending up A fourth quarter field tied at goal and touchdown by Oly proved to be the difference, however. Taylorsville is a good team, acknowledged Olympus coach Marc Lyons. They didnt give up in the third quarter and really put on the pressure on us with their runs off tackle. But I was proud of the way our defense rose to the challenge in the fourth quarter. Olympus defense, intercepted three Taylorsville passes with Roy Kehl, Brett Larsen and Mike Curtis getting one each. One of the top defensive point getters for the Titans was Kearney Hoggan, who had five assisted and five solo tackles plus a fumble recovery. Warrior coach Doug Bills said he was also proud of his teams defensive efforts, most of the time. We played well enough to win, Bills explained, but, we gave up the big play on defense and that killed us. They (Olympus) picked up 80 yards on a quarterback sneak then broke a screen pass for a fourth quarter touchdown on a play. Lance Mackay and Darren Murphy each came up with a fumble recovery for Taylorsville, Murphy adding a quarterback sack. Olys Hoggan, who saw action on both sides of the line, got the scoring underway in the first quarter with a touchdown run. The try for 39-2- 3-- 29-2- point after failed. Taylorsville responded with a three-yar- d keeper by quarterback Mark Roberts. Sean Jones then moved the Warriors ahead by kicking the extra point. What Roberts accomplished from three yards out, however, Titan quarterback Brett Larsen repeated from 80 yards away, scoring on the first play after the Warrior kick. Olympus went for two point, but was unable to convert making the score 12-- In the second quarter, Chris Hansen stole the show for Olympus with touchdown runs of nine and 16 yards. Place kicker Brock Varoz hit on both points after. Taylorsville got back into the game in the third period through the airways, as Roberts connected on touchdown passes of 46, 33 and 12 yards. The first went to Troy Peterson and was followed by a pass for two points to Scott Wilberger of a fake kick. After Varoz gave Olympus a field goal, Taylorsvilles Roberts struck again, hitting Jeff Stoner. The point after kick was blocked. Roberts wound up the Warrior barrage by tossing to Joe Darger. He also passed to Stoner for two more points and a tie. But just as quickly, Olympus was back on top as Hoggan took a screen g and raced pass on for six points. Varoz added the extra point then, for good measure, booted a field goal moments later. Olympus passed for 208 yards as Larsen was 7x20. Brent Burton caught four passes for 70 yards and Brad Burton three for 40. Larsen added 138 yards rushing on 12 carries, while Hogan rushed 12 times for 106 yards and Hansen 11 for 78. For Taylorsville, Stoner had, combined rushing and passing, 102 total yards. Wilberger added 32 yards rushing on seven carries. The Warriors passed for 192 yards, Roberts completing 13x22. 29-2- 9 third-and-lon- Turn those dont wants around your house into ready cash.

Two of those drives ended with missed field goal tries. Skyline may have kept out of the endzone during the second half, but the Eagles wishbone did manage to control the football during much of the final 24 minutes of play, making it even tougher for the Lancers to get anything going. Granger threw the ball pretty well, quarterback Bill Rieser going 17x29 for 201 yards. However, the ground game netted only 60 yards. The line blocking was not so good, stated Fraser. Skyline really controlled the line of scrimmage. Thats something we cant allow Taylorsville to do, because they got a bigger, more physical squad than in the past.
