Lehi Kickers Shut Out Timpview 2-0 to Stay Unbeaten in Region 7 Girls' Soccer

Timp Sports Weekly Publisher
The Lehi Pioneers improved their Region Seven girls' record at 6-0 Sept. 3 by winning 2-0 at home against the Timpview Thunders, AKA the Millionairesses.
Lehi scored both of its goals through first-half corner kicks made by Kyleigh Royall. Lehi Coach Brett Bergholm said, "Several minutes into the game, Kyleigh made the first corner kick to Alexa May, who scored the first goal. Shortly before halftime, Kyleigh made another corner kick to Lindsay Smith, who headed ball into the net.
"In the second half, the game got really too physical. The referee let it get out of hand. That made our girls lose their concentration. Nobody on either team could play well, as a result.
"In the first half, we worked well together and showed much desire to play well. For the second half, we came out stagnant. So Timpview took to playing really physical to get us to lose our concentration.
"This Tuesday, we play at Provo, then have a bye on Thursday."

The Lehi Pioneer volleyball team opened its home season Sept. 4 by dropping a four-game to the Snow Canyon Warriors, AKA the Road Amazons. The defending state 4-A champion, Snow Canyon defeated Lehi by scores of 20-25, 25-23, 25-19, 25-17.
The Pioneers held their own against the St. George-based team in the first game. It saw at the net a fierce battle between Warrior Taylor Murphy and Pioneer BreElle Bailey. Those two towering players competed fiercely to block each other's shots. The action between them kept the game a seesaw affair.
They were not the only two characters in the action-packed drama out on the court. Pioneers Miranda Parkinson, Madi Greenwood, and Aly White contributed hits that kept Snow Canyon's Leah Remund, Alisa Jamaica, and McKenzie Willley from being able to knock Lehi out of the game. Shelley Sorenson produced serves that kept Lehi's moment staying strong. A Parkinson kill gave Lehi the win in the first game.
In the second game, the Warriors charged ahead 6-1. Lehi attempts to bounce back in time turned out to be vain. Pioneer Coach Jaimie Ingersoll said, "We didn't show much fight in the last three games of tonight's match. Also, we made a lot of mistakes. We had own our number. We didn't regroup."
Aided by Sorensen's serving, Bailey, Parkinson, Greenwood, and White directed a comeback that enabled Lehi to stroke within 9-8, 10-9, and 17-16. However, Murphy became more dominant at the net at Chris Fisher produced serves that enabled the Warriors to stay ahead throughout Game 2.
For the third game, Willey and Murphy's hitting created a 9-3 lead for Snow Canyon. Leah Remund's blocking helped to keep Lehi at bay for most of Game 3. A Bailey kill prodded the Pioneers to march within 20-19. That was the closest Lehi could get to snatching the momentum from Snow Canyon's control. A Jamaica kill won the third game for the Warriors.
After being unable to lead at any time in the second and third games, the Pioneers managed to secure a 9-8 lead in the fourth game. However, Snow Canyon's Ciara Parker served three straight aces so hot that they caused Lehi to drop its momentum. Pioneer efforts to regain control of the game received hard blows through hits registered by Murphy, Jamaica, and Willey. A Murphy kill scored the match point for the Warriors.
Parkinson led Lehi with 10 kills while Katy Ford contributed another four. Bailey led Lehi in hitting percentages with a statistic of .400.
Hillcrest Drains Lehi 41-0 In Sept. 4 Football Action

In Sept. 4 preseason action, the Lehi Pioneer football team found playing at home to be as frustrating as the recent two road games that it had lost. In the Pioneers' home opener last Friday, the Hillcrest Huskies, AKA the Puppies, rushed into town and ripped Lehi 41-0.
Hillcrest quarterback Tanner Kemp set the game's tone in the first quarter. The quarterback shocked Lehi fans and thrilled Husky supporters by hurling a 73-yard pass to Bridger Dillmore for the game's first touchdown. Kemp followed it up with a 9-yard keeper into the Lehi end zone.
In the second quarter, Tanner hurled a 43-yard touchdown pass to Mark Pecht to leave Hillcrest with a 20-0 lead at halftime.
Beginning the second half at their 20-yard line, the Huskies quickly overpowered the Lehi defense. At 8:21, Tanner passed 48 yards to Pecht for a touchdown.
Catching a kickoff, Lehi's Steven Lew raced the pigskin 68 yards to the Husky 27-yard line. Lew's breathtaking kickoff return offered Lehi a fine chance for getting onto the scoreboard. However, three straight incomplete passes kept the Pioneers stuck at the 27-yard line. Defensive back B.J. Edman's sacking quarterback Palmer Page for a 3-yard loss shut the Pioneer drive down.
A Trae Kranz, 10-yard carry gave the Huskies a spark for another successful march. Taking a handoff from Kemp, Alex Thompson raced 42 yards for a touchdown.
With Lehi beginning its second march of the final half from the Pioneer 20-yard line, running back Colby Massa raced five yards around to the right during the first down. On the next down, Page gambled on a pass. It landed in the hands of Husky linebacker Nick Merhish, who then raced 25 yards into the Lehi end zone. Merhish's touchdown turned out to be the last moment of Hillcrest scoring during the night.
In the final period, Lehi staged a long drive, which saw Nate Smith and Justin Cottle taking turns at catching short passes from Page. The Pioneers marched clear to the Husky 30-yard line. The attack suddenly collapsed through Edman picking off a Page pass at the 10-yard line. The Huskies stuck to a ground game that devoured the game's remaining two minutes.
This Friday, Lehi will be back out on the road when it travels to Orem City to play on the field of the Timpanogos Timberwolves, AKA the T-Pups..
