Sophomores. by Scott Ormond Last Thursday at Springville, Spr-ingville, the vikings Sophomores added the final win to their unbeaten season by defeating the Red Devils 26-14. In first half both teams played excellent football. PG stopped Springville's first drive and moved the ball quickly to the 50 yard line. Then, behind the blocking of Steve Warner and Scott Richins, Bryon Biggs burned around left end for a 50 yard TD run. The point after attempt was blocked. The Red Devils, using us-ing near perfect exicu-tion exicu-tion of several reverse plays and passes, answered with their own touchdown and point after to make the score 6-7 in their favor.

Springville's desparate attempts to score via the pass were picked off by Jim Elliot, Biggs, and the ever present free safety Ed Wood. Even Jeff Strasburg, the Vike's outstanding tackle, managed to pick off a Devil screen pass.

It was only a matter of time before the vikings vik-ings put together another long drive. The Red Devils kept making a fatal mistake... they continaully kept sending sen-ding only one man over to cover PG double wide receivers on the left side.
