Problems continued to hinder the Wildcats in the 2nd quarter. Woods Cross offensive drives were stopped on their own line, line, and line, before finally breaking into Olympus territory late in the 2nd quarter.

The Cats came out in the second half ready for battle, but unfortunately the Titan's stingy defense continued giving quarterback Angus problems.

The Braves were coming off a tie to Olympus and a devastating loss to rival Woods Cross that had dropped them to a second place tie with East. The Braves and Leopards put on a great show Thursday afternoon that eventually saw the Leopards score on a beautiful corner kick midway through the game's second ov ertime. The final was East 2, Bountiful 1. and the game was just that hotly contested. The Braves opened up the scoring in the first half when Shannon Murray got the goal. Not much else went well for Bountiful offensively in the first half. The second half was no different for the Braves. They couldn't get any offensive momentum going against the tough East defense. The second half was played in the midfield area with no team really gaining any offen- four-minu- comer kick. This time the Leopards didn't botch the kick and Kierslen Nilsson headed the perfectly placed ball into the Bountiful net for the 1 squeaker win. in The Braves fell to Region Five play and East Bountiful is improved to in a virtual deadlock for third with Olympus, who is 2-- 1. sive fluidity.

After both teams were forced to punt on their first offensive series, the Darts again punted away after their second series also failed. That's when Miles got involved with the game. Miles immediately fielded the Davis punt and returned it to the end zone for a punt return for a touchdown. Davis continued to struggle running the ball against the stingy Viking defense. On top of that, the ball seemed to be just flying out of Davis' hands and on the turf for fumbles. Luckily, the Darts didn't lose any of their four fumbles in the first quarter. All in all, the Darts coughed up the ball six times in the game and Viewmont recovered two of them. Davis finally got something going towards the end of the first quarter when Kohl Perkins d reception grabbed a from quarterback Zach Olsen to get the Darts down to the line.

But even before Nyborg came into the game, Taylor fumbled a snap that the Darts recovered at the line. Viking Davis ran the ball four times in a row before getting the ball line to the Viewmont and a huge third down and eleven. Olsen, who had run two QB keepers in a row for a loss of one yard back to the 17, then dropped back to pass on third and eleven and found tight end Tim Grasso open in the end zone to give the Darts a 12-- 7 lead. Davis Head Coach Ryan Bishop elected to go for the two-poiplay, and got it; to get the score back on track at 14-- 7 going into halftime. The third quarter was much like the first quarter, defensive minded. The Darts immediately punted after their first series went nowhere.
