Clearfield Squishes Lehi 41-14 in Football
By Dean Von Memmott
Timp Sports Weekly Publisher
AKA the Tweets, the Clearfield Falcons swooped into Lehi's football stadium Sept. 18 and bombed the Lehi Pioneers 40-14.
The non-league contest saw the Clearfield offense waste no time in putting points on the board. Quarterbacked by Kolton Young, the Falcons began their opening drive from their 20-yard line. A seven-yard keeper play by Young spurred Clearfield into marching quickly into Lehi territory.
Taking a handoff from Young at the Clearfield 45-yard line, running back Austin "Powers" Ford raced 55 yards for a touchdown at 9:58.
Lehi quarterback Palmer Page attempted to led a strong response to Ford's touchdown run, but the Pioneers fumbled away the ball during their first march on the field. In recovering the fumble at the Pioneer 21, the Falcons marched clear to the Lehi 11-yard line, where a determined Pioneer defense compelled the Falcons to gamble on a field goal attempt. It flopped.
In the second Lehi march of the game, running back Colby Massa thrilled Pioneer fans with a 27-yard rush that gave them hope of seeing their team tie the game. However, Clearfield's defense stopped Lehi at its 44-yard line.
The remaining minutes of the first quarter saw Ford and Braxton Patterson take turns in running the ball to Lehi 6-yard line. At the start of the second quarter, Young scored a touchdown on a one-yard keeper play.
That TD didn't knock Lehi out of the game. The Pioneers still had a chance for getting back into it, but the opportunity for doing so received a hard blow when Page threw an interception to Clearfield's Swifty McGhee, who returned the ball to the Lehi 24-yard line. Occurring at the Lehi 20-yard line, a Falcon fumble delayed Clearfield from scoring its third touchdown. Nevertheless, the Falcon defense kept Lehi from capitalizing on the turnover.
Staying on the ground in the closing minutes of the first half, the Falcons finally got their third touchdown when Young raced the pigskin three yards into the end zone during 0:24. The quarterback then threw a two-point conversion pass to Jared Walsh.
In the early third quarter, Ford raced 28 yards into the end zone, effectively knocking Lehi out of the ball game. Still, Lehi battled fierce not to get shut out. The effort got hurt by the Pioneers fumbling away a kickoff at their 31-yard line. The fumble led to Patterson scoring a touchdown on a 28-yard run.
After Lehi's Dallin Rice had recoverd a kickoff on the Pioneer 19, the Pioneers finally had something to croak merrily about. Taking a handoff from Page, Massa raced 89 yards into the Clearfield end zone, and Lehi then scored an extra point.
That TD became a distant memory as McGee recovered a Lehi fumble at the Pioneer territory. Lehi didn't let Clearfield capitalize on that turnover.
At the start of the fourth quarter, Falcon Big John Bowcutt sacked Page, who lost the ball at the Lehi 32. The Falcon let go of the quarterback and recovered the fumble. Its recovery led to Young passing 35 yards to Cam Clark for the final Falcon touchdown for the night.
Four minutes later long runs by Jake Benson propelled the Pioneer offense clear to the Falcon 1-yard line. Benson scored a touchdown, and the Pioneers then tacked on an extra point to conclude the night's scoring.
T-Pups Hand Lehi Girls' Soccer Team 1st Region Loss

The prospect of the Lehi Pioneer girls' soccer team going undefeated in region turned out to be a thing too good to be true Sept. 17. On the Pioneers' home field that afternoon, the Timpanogos Timberwolves, AKA the T-Pups, defeated Lehi 2-1 in overtime.
Lehi never led at any time in the game. T-Pup Marissa Nimmer scored the game's first goal in the opening half. The Pioneers kept the T-Pups from extending the lead through good defensive efforts from goalie Briar Sands.
The score stayed at 1-0 well into the second half. With slightly less than 15 minutes left, Pioneer Mikall Yates scored the tying goal. Neither team could kick in a goal before the end of regulation.
Shortly after the opening of overtime play, T-Pup Angelica Dixon scored the winning goal on a breakaway play.
"It happened so fast that we didn't have time to stop it," said Lehi Coach Brett Bergholm. "When we went into overtime, we thought we had still a good chance to pull it out. We missed some chances in the OT period to score.
"The thing that hurt us today we was that we were out of sync on our back line. We couldn't get it to generate the quality of offense that we needed today."
On Sept. 15, Lehi won a 2-0 victory on the field of the Orem Tigers, AKA the Tiggers. In that game, Gina Richans and Jessica Vanderhoef each scored a goal for Lehi.
Lehi Spikers Wash Away Orem Tiggers in 3-Game Volleyball Match Sept. 15
By Dean Von Memmott
Timp Sports Weekly Publisher
The Lehi Pioneers washed away the Orem Tigers, AKA the Tiggers, in a three-game volleyball match at Lehi Sept. 15.
Paced by Miranda Parkinson Bre Elle Bailey, Lehi flooded away the Tiggers by scores of 25-20, 25-18, 25-22.
Lehi Coach Jaimie Ingersoll said, "We've played against really well against really good teams like Orem. We've made great gains like we did tonight, but we're still improving.
"Our serving was much better in Games 2 and 3 than it was in Game 1. Whenever we got behind tonight, we battled to inch back. We had great efforts by Miranda and Bre Elle. Miranda is coming off an ankle injury that she had suffered at the start of the season. It was great to see her do well tonight. Bre Elle is just a ninth-grader, and yet she's already showing what she's capable of providing for us in the next three years.
"Miranda had 15 kills and Bre Elle six. Aly White led with 13 digs for tonight."
In the first game, kills by Bailey and Parkinson permitted Lehi to secure a 4-1 lead over the Tiggers. They bounced back within 6-4. White's serving built the lead up to 8-4. Orem refused to give up. Brandee Akana and Hannah Robinson guided the Tiggers within 9-7, but Orem could not catch up with Lehi. The Pioneers improved their lead at 20-12, and a Robinson kill sparked Orem to bounce back within 23-20. Two straight Orem hitting errors gave Lehi the win.
The Tiggers leaped ahead 3-0 in the second game. Lehi rowed backed into the game, and it turned into a seesaw fight as Robinson and fellow Tigger Kaysie Taylor battled Bailey and Parkinson fiercely at the net. Pioneers Madi Memmott, Brooke Izatt, and Makala Dunford registered hits that eventually allowed Lehi to build up a big enough lead to be able to win 25-18.
Even though the Tiggers built up an 8-4 lead in the third game, Lehi server Tandy Muse triggered a come back, and the game went down as a nip-and-tuck fight. Kills by Parkinson and Bailey eventually enabled Lehi to squeeze past Orem 25-23 to end the match that round.

In a Region Four game at Jordan Sept. 18, the Jordan Beetdiggers, AKA the Plowboys, defeated the Awesome American Fork Cavemen 43-42 in overtime.
Jordan took a 14-0 lead in the first quarter. The next quarter, though, saw the Cavemen score 29 unanswered points. Cavemen Ethan Wright and Cade Zarbock each scored two touchdowns in that quarter. Kaiden Worthington also scored a touchdown.
The Beetdiggers plowed their way back in the second half. Jordan outscored American Fork 22-7 in the second half to force the game into overtime.
In the overtime period, Hansen scored a tie-breaking touchdown, but American Fork couldn't pick up an extra point. That quickly proved to be fatal for the Cavemen. Beetdigger McCoy Hill hustled the pigskin into the end zone, and Cody Rogers kicked in an extra point to win the game for the Plowboys.
