Show Viking Sophs Drop Lahi Last Friday In Wei, Sloppy Field by Jack Hill Playing Lehi on a rainy day at Lehi gives the home team a definite advantage. It wasn't enough however, as the Viking sophomores "splashed" to a 22-6 22-6 first quarter lead and held on to win their fifth straight game 30-14. Kirk Tanner recovered Lehi's second play fumble on the 18 and three plays later Kurt Christensen scored from 3 yds out. With a steady rain drizzling drizzl-ing on an already soaked field the Vikes ran for the P.A.T. and Tom Strasburg "ploughed" in for the two points. Lehi returned the Viking kickoff 80 yards for the T.D. The young Pioneer seemed to just skim along the surface with Brent Keetch and Strasburg Stras-burg unable to catch him. The P.A.T. was missed and the score stood at 8-6 for the Vikes It was first and 10 on the Viking 37 following Lehi's kick off. From that point P.G. made an 11 play 63 yard sustained drive with Strasburg going the final five and again pushing in for the two point conversion. The wet ball betrayed Lehi when Mark Ewell recovered fumble No. 2 on the eight yard line. P.G. punched it in the end zone in three plays with Tom "The Tank" again scoring. The attempted point after fell short and the first quarter, dominated dominat-ed 'by Pleasant Grove, ended 22-6. Suddenly the "tide" shifted to the Pioneers who seemed to get stronger as the rain continued con-tinued to fall. Lehi scored in the second qurater while P.G. offense sputtered. It was a ball game as the halftime score stood at 22-14. The Vikes momentarily established es-tablished control of the game in the 3rd quarter by taking their initial possession and driving dri-ving 66 yards in 13 plays with Christensen scoring his second T.D. from the four. Late in the game Lehi snapped snap-ped the ball through the end zone giving P.G. a safety and that was the end of the scoring. Strasburg rushed for 95 yards and Christensen, who has been making steady improvement, improve-ment, had 93. Clyde Huntsman and Gary Jackson were tops in individual individ-ual tackles with 4 each. Brett Frampton had two assists to lead in thta defensive department. |
