Show Sophomore Team Drops Orem in Football Saturday by Jack Hill Saturday morning saw the P.G. sophomore football team defeat Orem 19-12 in the season's sea-son's opener on the Viking field. Tom the "Tank" Strasburg led the young Vikings by scoring scor-ing TD's in the first and fourth quarters and came up with 4 tackles and 6 assists from his middle linebacker spot. Pleasant Grove made the score 7-0 in the first quarter on Strasburg's 5-yard plunge and quarterback Bred Framp-ton Framp-ton and Layne Butt combined to kick the PAT. Butt then threw a 25 yard "strike" pass to Gary Jackson to give P.G. a 13-point lead. With little time remaining in the second uarter, Orem's passing game produced a long touchdown and the halftime score was 13-6. Third quarter action was scoreless but a 15-yard T.D. by Strasburg in the fourth quarter quar-ter raised the score to 19-6 for the Vikes. Orem scored it's second T.D. as game time expired. Four Orem turnovers caused by the aggressive Viking defense de-fense helped decide the game's outcome. Big Kyle Secretan came up with two recovered fumbles and when Orem tried to pass, interceptions by Craig Walker, the game's leading tackier, and Strasburg, cut two Orem drives short. The young Vikings host the Jordan sophomore team today in the Viking stadium. Game time is 4 p.m. |
