The night did not go well for North Summit as Union crushed them 28-- 8 last week. Coach Omer was elated with the win but he said he was even more excited about the fact that the players wanted to win the eame. That thev played better ball after they were ahead by a touchdown than ever before. People were whre they were suppose to be. They made the tackles. They even made gang tackles," he said. The Cougar's and North. Summit were scoreless in the Arst quarter with the ball floating back and forth to each team every few minutes. The Cougar's had several drives going but did not turn on" until the second really quarter. Ray Sundin caught a pass from Chad Richard and took it into the end zone for the Arst six points. Grant Cook ran the extra points across for two more.

Omer attributed the drives to their ability to move the ball without the ball being moved back or taken away by penalities, mistakes or bad plays like interceptions or fumbles. We have always played pretty good football offensively," said Omer, but this is the Arst time the offense hits run so consistently. The North Summit crew scored late in the game and ran across a two point conversion that allowed them to finish the game with 8 points. Wasatch, the number one undefeated team in the region, is next on the Cougar's schedule. The game will be held in Heber Friday at 4:00 p.m. Omer described their team as big and strong with the desire to pass just as much as they run the ball. When he was asked to state their strong side, he said it was defense. They are a defensively oriented team and they are good. He also stated they had good athletes in skill positions and they would be hard to overcome. Union will have another disadvantage going into this weeks game. Seven players were suspended from the team for at least one game with several others finished for the season, because of disciplinary measures taken by the coaching staff and the Principal at Union.

CLOSE IN! - Why does a team that has shown drastic improvement throughout the season suddenly play poorly? This is a question Altamont coach Frank Hill has been asking all week. It is something I have been trying to figure out, said HilL We knew it would be a long bus ride to Monticello, but I thought we were ready for it However, this was not the case. "We were really flat. said HilL There was no real desire to win. Monticello is no pushover, and from what I'm told they haven't lost at home in four years." The Altamont coach said nothing went right for his team, but it wasn't any one players fault He sait it was a team loss! Hill said his Longhorns began the game running and obtained two first downs, but then lost momentum and had to punt According to Hill, the Buckaroos never really had any sustained drives, but Altamont kept giving them the ball with good field position. Our timing on hand-off- s was bad," said Hill, and all of this 33-- 6 contributed to the 33-- 6 loss suffered by Altamont Tt wasn't that Monticello played that great said Hill If we could have played like we have we could have beaten them. With the loss, Altamont in league play. With the is now at league play completed, the Longhorns will be hosting the Dugway team this Friday at 4:00 p.m. From what I understand they have 1-- 2 really come on, said HilL He said Dugway has a very good running back, and they run a lot of options and Several people have told me that if you stop him you stop their team, said HilL However, he said East Carbon stopped him and their fullback killed them. Hill said their approach to the game is simple. They will try to establish the run very early. They will try to open it up with their passing game. He said Dugway is a good team that really works together. Hill said they will have to execute both their offense and defense to defeat the Dugway team.
