Show V Thursday, October THE GREEN SHEET r-- w r" 2, 1986 Warriors Blast Cougars For First League Victory TAYLORSVILLE. Somehow it just had to happen sometime. e A Taylorsville football team, the bridesman in a string of close, hard fought losses, finally laid claim to the brass ring, and in a big way, shocking visiting and previously unbeaten Kearns Friday. The win did more, however, than salvage some pride, as Taylorsville, looking ahead to a trip to Cottonwood tomorrow (Friday) at 4:30 p.m., is still not out of a possible post season berth. The loss had to be especially painful to Kearns, not just because of the margin, but due to fact a win, coupled with Olympus loss to Granger, wouldve left the Cougars alone at the top of the Region Three heap. Kearns hosts Olympus tomorrow at here-to-for- 35-1- 4 4. The kids played well, for the whole game, their cording to our stats, (Taylorsville) longest drive was 34 commented Taylorsville coach Doug Bills, something weve had problems yards. That drive resulted in the Warriors first touchdown, Matt Bates dive. Sean Jones booted the first of five extra points. Early in the second period,to Taylorsville advanced the margin 0 when Todd Eglund hauled in a pass from Mark Roberts. Continued on page 3 with before. The defense got some turnovers and the offense capitalized on its opportunies. We couldnt be happier with the win. Turnovers were the key to Kearns coach Tom Larsen as well. We turned the ball ball over too many times and always with our backs to the wall, he reported.

Cottonwood started out with good field position at midfield and gradually grinded out yards to the Eagle 21. Then the wheels came off, as the Colts hobbled a snap then fumbled a pitch. Cottonwood recovered both loose balls, but had to settle for a field goal try. Blaine Burnetts kick from away was right down the middle with room to spare. Skyline had an equally tough time moving the ball downfield, 11 yards being the Eagle's longest gain. Skyline managed to keep the drive alive by avoiding the kinds of mistakes that forced a halt to Cottonwoods attempt. Skyline was also Cottonwood aided by a penalty. Eagle quarterback Paul Putnam picked up the touchdown on d a keeper with five minutes left in the game. It was a ball control second half, Jones explained further. We had only two possession, while they had two. Both teams offenses ran a lot of time off the clock, but the defenses kept them from scoring a lot of points. Cottonwood ended up with just 145 yards of offense and Skyline not much better at 161. Of the Colts total, 101 came on the ground with Matt Pugmire rushing for 61 on 11 carries and Bobby Mathewson adding 46 on 12 tries. Chad Fletcher was 3x9 passing for 44 yards and three interceptions. They put a lot of pressure on our quarterback, Jones added quickly. Defensively, the coach couldve listed all 11 starters, but there were a few people whose performances seemed to stand out. one-yar- Keeping themselves in the hunt for a league title, Cyprus Pirates rebounded Friday from its loss to Olympus by unleashing a first quarter burst that them past an injury decimated Granite high crew 21-Now Cyprus is back on the bubble tomorrow night (Friday) and this time against Granger, the team handed Olympus its first loss of the season. Cyprus will host the match, slated to start at 7:30 p.m. Granite will also be at home, Skyline, which entertaining displayed a nearly impenetrable defense in its 3 win over Cottonwood. That game will also kickoff at 7:30. Pirate mentor Jerry Simonson felt that his team not only had to win, but also play well. This the Pirates did, the coach believes, though he quickly acknowledged that his crew faced a far different Farmer team than had started the season. I cant believe the number of injuries Granite has suffered, and at Simonson stated. key positions, Still, I thought our kids bounced back from that terrible loss to Olympus a lot better than I expected. For once the Pirates got out of the blocks fast, according to Simonson, Uncorking a pass from Paul Allen to Bob Croyle on their first play ' from scrimmage. The play primed a second toss to Croyle for 10 yards and six points. Kurt Henroid kicked the first of three extra points. Cyprus got the ball back in a hurry, as, after the kick, the Pirates Ryan Quintana snagged a Farmer aerial and ran it back for 40 yards and a second touchdown.

They lull teams to sleep, running the ball time after time, then they strike, said Colosimo. They hit a pass when they use it and it usually goes for big yardage.

Field conditions, reported Simonson, took over from there. As the game went on the field got the coach mudier and muckier, related, and, under those conditions, the team that scores first has a heck-of-a- n advantage. Also, I felt that our defense played really well. Despite the field conditions and Cyprus defense, the Farmers were able to move the ball. On three seperate occasions Granite got inside the Pirate 20, only, in the words of coach Mark Nielsen, to get hit with a big penalty that put us in a hole. Cyprus defense recorded its first shut out of the season and Simonson reported that the play of his linebacking corps, specifically Bill Hancock, Scott Beck and Todd Johnson, had a lot to do with it. On the other side of the line, Bob Croyles four catches for an incredible 112 yards was the main offensive stat. Paul Allen 9x17 through the air for 138 yards. Sidney Freeman added 65 rushing yards on nine tries. Cyprus had well over 200 yards of total offense, most of it coming in the first half and especially in the opening period. Qranite put together one standout offensive combination, David Davis throwing four passes to Kyle Nielson for 67 yards. But it was on defense that coach Nielson felt particulary pleased. I thought our defensive coordinator Bruce Brunsvold had our kids really ready for Cyprus, the coach praised. Except for that first possession, Cyprus offense never really drove the ball on our defense.
