When it finally happened Friday night, he was bound to enjoy it. "Our kids are quiet. I finally told them, 'Look, if you don't want this win, I do! I want Bountiful'." He got his wish, sweet revenge for several near wins in recent years. The Lancers rode two big plays and a tough defense to a 13-- 0 least shutout against the Braves--a- t partial revenge for a tough loss last year which Page still remembers. "We won that game last year...we really did." Although the record books won't support that claim, it will uphold Friday's victory. In Page's words: "It's about time! it was a disappointing night, particularly on offense where the Braves struggled just to keep possession of the ball they finished the game with a mere seven first downs. Still, if the Braves could have changed just two Lancer plays, the outcome might have been different. After battling to a scoreless tie ' in the first half, Layton's first score came with 6:50 remaining in the third period when quarterback Trevor Black hit wide receiver Casey Trujillo with an touchdown pass. Trujillo split two defenders, caught the pass, and then outran Bountiful's Brandt Kuehne to the end zone. Scott Erickson added the point after touchdown. That pass play accounted for For Bountiful, 85-ya- rd almost exactly half of Layton's aerial attack. Black finished the game completing eight of 14 passes for 171 yards. Trujillo had five receptions and finished with 128 yards. Following a short Bountiful series, Layton's Taurus McGhee hauled in a Steve Kirkham punt at his own 39 yard line, split two defenders, juked by another, broke a tackle at the 25 and scored the The second Lancer touchdown. PAT snap sailed high, but Layton's 13-- 0 lead with 5:12 remaining in the third period was plenty given the tenacious nature of the Lancer defense. "Those two plays were the difference in the game," said Bountiful coach Larry Wall. Bountiful managed 146 yards of offense, 53 on the ground in 28 carries, and 93 through the air. Jacobs completed 10 passes in 25 attempts. He was intercepted twice.
