The Lancers have, broken into the win column for the first time in the current football season. Not only did thpy pick up their initial victory, they did it with a vengence, demoralizing the Roy batRoyals 35-- 0 in the Region 1 tle Friday. The win improves the Layton record to on the year in the league, while Roy is still looking for their first happy bus -5 -2 ride. It was a long time coming, said head Lancer coach Brad Hawkins. But the kids did a very good job. We moved the ball offensively like we knew we could and we didnt make the mistakes that we have in the previous games. The hero for the Lancers was Robert Ferneau, who ran for 208 yards with two touchdowns and no fumbles, a problem that has plauged him earlier. It was Ferneau who set the stage for the game on the first Layton play from scrimage with a 61 dash to the Roy nine. One play later Mike Roberts d put the Lancers on the just two minutes into the game, then it was off to the races for the rest of the contest. The Layton rushing attack was overwhelming. In addition to Roberts and Ferneaus scores quarterback Brian Bailey ran for one and threw for another. We felt we could run the ball at them and we talked about it all week in practice, said Hawkins. When Ferneau broke the first play it got us going and it carried us through the rest of the game. For Roy it was the ultimate frustration in an already disappointing season. That isnt the word for it, said Roy head coach Fred We played poorly Thompson. and they played with enthusiasm and just beat us up. Layton played well and executed well and deserved to win. There wasnt much smile about for Roy fans as they watched the Lancers score within two minutes in each of the first three periods for a 0 lead just after halftime. We felt if we could get down and score early and get the lead we could be alright, said Thompson, and even after the first big run and score I thought the team responded well defenscore-boar- 21-- 'i ; sively.

We set some goals at the beginning of the season and we needed this game to have a chance to keep those goals, he said. Highland coach Roger Dupe said, We were outplayed and outcoached. They did a super job preparing for us. Their kids were ready and theyre just a good ball team, he said. Both coaches offered nothing but respect and good things to say about the other, and it helped make for one of the classiest high school football games this year. I coached under Roger Dupe for 4 years at Highland. Hes a tremendous coach and were good friends, said Eldracher. One Woods Cross player, commenting on Highland, said, strategy was to contain the Rams rambling wishbone offense. We. worked hard on stopping each part of their triple offense, said Woods Cross coach Elracher, and apart from a few missed tackles I think we were successful, he said. Our offense did well also. Senior Jeff Hawkins is the finest running back Ive coached. . . He has tremendous strength, balance and attitude. Hes averaging over 100 yards a game and has scored nine touchdowns in Theyre nothing but class. our first six games. He is a deficandidate, he said. Theyre the' classiest bunch of nite Also coming along well is jukids weve played. Eldracher said his defensive nior Lee Watson, whos been av all-sta- te Vikes Start Slow But Handle East Lynn Averett Review Correspondent Ater a slow start, the Viewmont Vikings exploded for a decisive 27-- 7 win over, the East High Leopards Friday night. The win puts Viewmont at in region 4, and lets the Vikes back into the race for a berth in the state play offs. ' Viewmont alumni had gathered -2 to commemorate the schools homecoming, and the Vikes were in a must-wi- n situation against the Leopards On Viewmonts third series, the Vikes drove 45 yards to take the lead with running back Bill Bagley going in from the one. Midway through the second quarter, East defensive back Dan Marriott intercepted a Brian Hardy pass on the Leopards four and returned it to the 39. East took control by moving the ball 61 yards to score on a 0-- eraging five yards a carry. Our whole ball club is really coming along, he said, And we think we can get better still. Were real excited about the rest of our season and we want to be in the playoff picture. As pleased as we were with this victory were not going to sit back on our heels. Were really going to go after it for the rest of the season. We really have a fine group of seniors this year and Theyre doing what they need to do to lead us in a fine season, Eldracher said. This week Woods Cross plays in Ogden Wednesday at 4:p.m. 2 6-- 0, 20-ya- rd scamper by Lou Sabala. The half ended with East on top 7-- 6. Defense was the name of the game for most of the third quarter, when Viewmont received a gift from East, and the Vikings quickly took advantage of it. The Vikes were forced to punt. East fumbled the ball and a hus-tlin- g Viking special teams unit recovered the ball on Easts 42. Three plays later Bill Bagley out. scored again from two-yarconversion try The two-poifailed, but the Vikes had gained the lead for good 12-- 7 as the nt quarter ended. In the final 12 minutes, the Vikings scored 15 points as the Leopards seemed to come apart at the seams. They (the team) wanted to win so badly that I tried to calm them down at half time, Viewmont coach Warren Hatch said. These kids get themselves so fired-u- p that they are too keyed up for the game. So I need to settle them down, he added. The Viking defense was well prepared to stop g offense of East, as the the Vikes held the Leopards to 107 total yards. ; I am pleased with our defense tonight. When a defensive unit can hold an offense to 107 yards; that unit has played well, Hatch single-win- ! said. The Viking squad sufered an- other injury in Friday nights game. Wide receiver and defensive back, Brian Beecher damaged ligaments in his shoulder. Its unknown how long he will be out of action. The Vikes have had more than their share of injuries this season, but Hatch says his team has responded to the challenge. Because of the injuries we have suffered, we have had to move players into unfamiliar positions, and they have done extremely well in the transition. ; The Vikes will be able to rest some of their key players this week because of a practice game with Mountain Crest at Viewi mont on Wednesday night. ; Naturally, we want to win, but we will do the smart thing. We are going to sit out players that need the rest so they will be ready for the game against Davis, Hatch said. Viewmont will continue region play against the No. ranked Davis Darts at Davis on October 8. 1 -- 1 Meatlockers Indicate Elk Hunt Going Good $ I v- ' Zs ''?'&? -tL ,y: '; ' oS , '' If local meaBOUNTIFUL tlockers are any indication of how the elk hunt is going, this year may be the best ever. Last year was the best year weve ever had for Elk, Larry Nichols of Bob Kellersburgers Custom Meats said and so far were ahead of last year. Weve rccieved over 60 Elk already with 16 coming in this morning alone. he said Monday. Both our coolers are full and were starting to run out of meat hooks. WOODS CROSS Took an early lead against Highland Friday and then held on for the win. K , Nichol laughed as he pulled open the cooler door and showed rows and rows of tightly packed elk carcasses. Theyre dressing out on the average around 235 pounds. Nichol said, and went on to caution hunters to be extra careful with the meat in this warm weather. We are getting some sour meat. Dont leave the elk hanging in a tree. Put some bags of ice in the carcass and get them to a cooler ; as fast as possible." ; Game bags are also important to keep the files out. Nichol said. |
