Lehi Froggies Take Down Lone Peak Loners in 5-Game Volleyball Match Sept. 23

By Dean Von Memmott

Timp Sports Weekly Publisher

The five-game volleyball match that the Lehi Pioneers won at home against the Lone Peak Knights, AKA the Loners, Sept. 23 went down as one of the most riveting -- correction, ribbiting contests between those two teams. The contest presented a rivalry as fierce as the one shared by the Loners and the Ferocious Pleasant Grove Vikings. Lehi won by the contest by scores 14-25, 19-25, 25-16, 29-27, 15-8.

In the first game, kills by Emily Lewis, a close relative of BY Zoobie football legend Chad Lewis, enabled the Loners to take an early 3-1 lead. Guided by Rylin Roberts, To'a Faleao, and Mikayla Upham, the Froggies jumped back to take a 6-4 lead. A very close relative of former American  Fork sports legends Colby Evans and Brittany Risher, Hayley Evans delivered amazing serves that enabled Jaysa "What Da" Funk to register hits that tied the game at six. 

A Froggie double block quickly lead to Lehi commanding a 9-6 lead. In serving an ace, Loner McCall Kinkade, a "distant cousin" of late painter Tom Kinkade, stirred up a rally that enabled Lone Peak to eventually pull ahead 12-10. Even thought a Faleao kill put the Froggies within 12-11, the Loners didn't let them catch up. Lewis, Kinkade, Ally Anderson, and Maikilla Jarema registered a string of devastating hits know the Froggies out of rhythm. 

Funk's serving produced a 2-1 lead for the Loners in the second game. A "distant cousin" of Hollywood actress Julia Robert, Rylin Roberts, Upham, and Amber "This is Your Night" Lamborn pooled their serving and hitting skills together to produce a 3-2 lead for the Froggies. However, Lewis and Jarema took firm control at the net. Those two Loners' hitting soon produced a 14-6 lead for their team. A "distant cousin" of fairy tale character Snow White, Froggie Sydney White tried to orchestrate a rally for the Froggies. However, their offense got stuck while Lone Peak built up a 20-10 lead. Just the Loners looked as though they would be coasting to a double-digit win. Upham, Roberts, and Kara Moore organized a strong comeback that Jarema tried to slow down. After the Froggies had pulled within 24-19, a missed Lehi serve gave the Loners the win.

The match looked as though the Loners would dry up the Froggies in three games. However, a Faleao kill gave Lehi a 2-1 lead. Funk and Kinkade's hitting kept the Loners close on the Froggies' heels. Finally, the Kinkade's hitting produced a 14-12 lead for the Loners. They looked as though they would put the Froggies away. However, Moore's serving tipped those web-footed Lehites ahead 16-15. Despite strong efforts by Jarema, Lamborn took control of the net. Teammate Kylie Jacklin gave her much back up, and a Faleao kill gave the Froggies a 25-16 win.

The fourth game opened with the Loners taking a 2-0 lead. Jacklin registered two straight kills that tied the game at two. After Faleao made a tie-breaking kill, Jacklin served an ace that put Lehi ahead 4-3. Leads continued to change hands quicker than you could say Ali Lamb Chop. Roberts, Jacklin, Upham, Faleao, and Faleao held their own against Jarema, Lewis, Funk, Kinkade, and Anderson. Finally, Roberts registered a kill that won the game for Lehi 29-27.

Losing the fourth game destroyed the Loners' morale. They played awful in the fifth game, even though they did pull within 3-2. Upham hits sparked the Froggies into a taking a 6-2 lead. Lamborn and Upham pulverized the Loners' front row. Meanwhile, Faleao and Jacklin produced key hits that created a 14-6 lead for the Froggies. Lewis attempted to lead a comeback, but a bad Loner hit ended the match in a Froggie win.

Lehi Coach Jaime Ingersoll said, "After being down 0-2 in games tonight, our girls showed a lot of determination coming back. They stayed patient on offense in the third game. Makayla Lamborn had great kills down the middle to hurt Lone Peak severely."

Last-Second Field Lifts Westlake Shockers to 17-14 Win Over Lehi Froggies in Sept. 12 Football Thriller
By Dean Von Memmott
Timp Sports Weekly Publisher

Within several minutes after a last-second field goal had lifted his Westlake Thunder, AKA the Shockers, to a 17-14 win on the home field of the Lehi Pioneers, AKA the Froggies, Sept. 12, Westlake football coach Steve Clements told his players, "Show some class on Twitter tonight. Just Twitter, "#17-14, Westlake,' and write nothing more."

The close win over their arch rivals gave the Shockers much to roar about, especially in regards to the quality of their defensive performance in the Froggies' Homecoming game. The Shockers held the Froggies scoreless in the first two quarters. Clements said, "Our  defensive players won the game for us. They kept coming up with plays that stopped Lehi cold. Our offense did score points when they needed to. Still, the game's outcome was all based on our defense."

Lehi recovered the game's first kickoff at the Froggie 34-yard line. On the first play, Shocker defensive back B.T. "Bolts" King stopped running back Caden Colton at the line of scrimmage. Quarterback Cal Miles raced 16 yards to the 50-yard line. Soon, though, the Shockers stopped the Froggies at the Westlake 47-yard line.

Related to former Lone Peak Loner wrestling sensation Matt Ah "Choo" You, quarterback Shocker Chaz Ah You tried getting the Shocker going. Despite throwing long passes to teammates like Shamon Willis, Ah You couldn't get his Shockers inside the Froggie 10-yard zone during the first quarter. In the meantime, it ended with Shocker Bryce sacking Miles for a 10-yard loss.

The second quarter opened with Froggie Braden Colton catching an 18-yard pass from Miles in hope of renewing Lehi's momentum. On the next play, Miles threw an interception to Timmy Forsyth, who raced 70 yards for a touchdown canceled out by a Westlake penalty. It merely delayed the game's scoring. Forty-one seconds before halftime, Brennen Riley caught a 12-yard touchdown pass from Ah You. Nate Devries kicked in an extra point.

The Shockers stretched their lead midway through the third period when Frosyth, a "distant cousin" of late Hollywood actor John Forsyth, caught an 11-yard touchdown pass from Ah You. After Deveries kicked in another extra point, the Froggie defense didn't let the Shockers make any more points.

Braden Terrill's long catch of one pass moved the Froggies deep into Shocker territory in the late third quarter. Aided by a Westlake penalty, Miles scored a touchdown on a one-yard keeper play, and Jacob Kesler booted in an extra point.

The score stayed at 14-7 until 3:04 in the fourth quarter. Long carries by Caden Colton propelled the Froggies to the Shocker 1-yard line. Taking a handoff from Miles, running back Spencer "Blackie" Blackham scored a touchdown on a first-down play. A successful, Kesler extra-point kick tied the game at 14.

Ah You guided his Shockers clear to the Froggie 10-yard line. A grandson of former Payson Kitty football legend Chad Smith, Koy Roberts sacked Ah You for a 10-yard loss. With only four seconds now left on the clock, the Shockers gambled on a field goal try. Devries kicked a field goal to give Westlake the win.

"My kicker has never played football before. He's a soccer player," Clements said. "I'm extremely proud of him."

Timp Sports Weekly Publisher

In a Bronze Division game of the Rocky Moumtain Championship Classic played at Lehi Sept. 6, the Davis Darts, AKA the Tarts, defeated the Awesome American Fork Cavewomen by scores of 25-20, 25-12.

The Tarts took an early 1-0 lead in the first game, but Kendra Enosa's hitting guided the Awesome Cavewomen to tie the game at three. Kate "Koko" Kokol put American Fork ahead 4-3, but the Tarts regained the momentum quickly. Abby Rocha and Mackenzie Coy put on strong, front-row performances that created a 12-4 lead for the Tarts.

The Awesome Cavewomen had trouble bouncing back until the Tarts had created an 21-12 lead. Tristien Tausinga. Kassidee Roberts, Jacey Vincent, and Kailey Buckner orchestrated a strong rally for American Fork. Spurred on by a Buckner kill, the Awesome Cavewomen battled back. After a Whitehead block had put American Fork within 24-20, Madelynn "The Sicilian Maiden" Corelli registered a kill to give Davis a 25-20 win.

Game 2 opened on a horrible note for American Fork. Coy's serving sent the Tarts flying out to a 6-0 lead. Buckner, Enosa, and Tausinga paced the Awesome Cavewomen within 8-5. That turned out to be  as close as American Fork could get to the Tarts. Devastating his by Abby Darling, Kenzie Nicol, and Jenn Sappenfield stopped the Awesome Cavewomen from making a strong comeback. Davis won Game 2 on a bad AF bump.

In a Region Four volleyball match at Lehi Sept. 9, the Lehi Pioneers, AKA the Froggies, corralled the Herriman Mustangs, AKA the Pretty Ponies, in three games by scores of 25-17, 25-20, 25-9.

The first game saw the Pretty Ponies get on the scoreboard first. However, Mikayla Upham's impressive serving spurred the Froggies into taking a 4-2 lead. For much of the first game, the lead changed hands quicker than you could say Ali Lamb Chop. Pretty Ponies Sarah Duncan and Savannah "Smiles" Lewis severely tested Lehi's front row, keeping Froggies Faitoto'a Faleao, Rylin Roberts, and Amber Lamborn from becoming lax. Two Roberts kills moved Lehi ahead 10-8. Upham and Sydney White contributed some sets that Lehi turned into big hits. The Froggies led by as far as 24-15. A Roberts kill gave the Froggies a 25-17 win.

For the second game, the Froggies leaped out to a 5-1 lead. Lamborn and Kara Moore's hitting helped the Froggies to stay ahead throughout all of Game 2. Lewis and Duncan still guided the Pretty Ponies back within three points several times during the game. After Herriman had narrowed the lead 21-18, the Pretty Ponies hurt themselves with some missed serves. Finally, Faleao registered a kill to win the game for Lehi.

An Upham kill in Game 3 spurred Lehi into taking a 4-1 lead. However, the Pretty Ponies stampeded back to tie the game at five. Herriman missed a serve, which proved fatal to the Pretty Ponies. Kylie Jacklin's serving stirred up a long rally for Lehi, causing the Pretty Ponies to self-destruct. Hitting errors by Herriman enabled Lehi to secure a 20-9 lead. The Pretty Ponies didn't bother to rally back any more after that point.

Roberts led the Froggies with 15 kills and Lamborn contributed another 10. White had seven digs and Faleao three.

Having lost the title match in the recent Rocky Mountain Championship Classic's Gold Division to the Lehi Pioneers, AKA the Froggies, the Ferocious Pleasant Grove Vikings took revenge Sept. 8 by rowing over to Lehi and drying up their arch rival in a three-game match by scores of 25-21, 25-20, 25-18.

The match opened with Ferocious Viking Alexis Sharp, a "distant cousin" of Vanity Fair character Becky Sharp, tipping the ball into a Lehi hole. Before long, the Ferocious Vikings commanded a 3-1 lead. Kills by Brooklyn Dahl and Emilee Anderson frustrated the Froggies. Still, Rylin Roberts, Faitoto'a Faleao, Amber Lamborn, and Ali "Baba" Greenwood battled back to take leads of 6-5, 10-8, and 12-10. Sara Hamson guided the Ferocious Vikings' front row in keeping Lehi from taking strong control of the momentum. Finally, Bailey Nixon, no relation to the late Richard "Tricky Dick" Nixon, registered a kill that broke a 19-19 tie. Nixon and Janiel Biggs produced hits that kept the Ferocious Vikings ahead for the rest of the game. Nat Sua-Filo registered a kill to give Pleasant Grove a 25-21 win.

The second game was also a seesaw battle. Jacklin, Roberts, Greenwood, Upham, and Faleao held their own against Hamson, a sister of BY Zoobie athlete Jenn Hamson. For a while, neither team could led by more than three points. Eventually, Nixon made two straight kills that gave Pleasant Grove a 25-20 win.

Although Game 3 opened with Lehi leaping out to an early 2-1 lead, Dahl and Hamson stirred up a rally that produced an 11-3 lead for Pleasant Grove. The Froggies didn't let the Ferocious Vikings cruise to an easy win. Moore and Roberts organized a rally that pushed the Froggies into tying the game at 15. A Dahl tip put Pleasant Grove back out in front. Nixon's hitting gave the Ferocious Vikings the momentum they needed for winning 25-18.

Pleasant Grove Coach Alyce Jones said, "We learned today that we gotta keep fighting. Bailey Nixon and Emilee Anderson came up with some big hits for us. Our serving was really good today. Nixon had nine kills and Dahl six."

Lehi Froggies Cage Maple Mountain Golden Chirps in 3-Game Volleyball Match
By Dean Von Memmott
Timp Sports Weekly Publisher

The Lehi Pioneers, AKA the Froggies, opened their home season with a three-game win against the Maple Mountain Golden Eagles, AKA the Golden Chirps, in a non-league volleyball match played Aug. 28. Lehi leaped past the 4-A team by scores of 25-16, 25-7, 25-9.

For a little while in Game 1, the Golden Chirps looked as though they would drain Lehi in three games. The combined serving of Kimber "Hogan" Beyal, Sydney "Harry" Hendersen, and Kaysie "Sunshine" Harmer created a 6-3 lead for the Golden Chirps. Just as the Froggies appeared to be thoroughly roasted by Maple Mountain,  hot serving by Ali "Baba" Greenwood put new life into them. A "distant cousin" of Hollywood actress Emma Roberts, Rylin Roberts registered impressive spikes that enabled the Froggies to jump back into the game.

Roberts' teammates Taittoto'a Faleao and Kara "A. Lot" Moore contributed kills that earned Lehi an 8-7 lead. A bad Golden Chirp hit tied the game at eight. Amber Lambourn served up fight straight points to give the Froggies a 13-8 lead. Mikayla Upham hopped forward to register some hits that kept the Froggies' hold on the lead strong. Front-row performances from Kristen Allred and Sarag Mafi helped the Golden Chirps fly within 16-12. Greenwood stopped them cold, however.

Although Game 2 opened with a Julia "Child" Jensen block putting the Golden Chirps ahead 1-0, the Froggies became more quicker in springing ahead of Maple Mountain. As it became stuck in scoring, the Froggies ripped Maple Mountain's defense to shreds. Kills by Greenwood and Upham produced a 6-1 lead for Lehi. Before long, the Froggies had great cause to croak joyfully about a 13-2 lead created by them. Kills by Faleao and Sydney "Snow" White gave the Froggies the energy they needed for swimming away with a 25-7 lead.

In the third game, the Froggies let jayvee starter Faith "Buster" Crabb have a chance to prove herself on the front row. Crabb's efforts at the net snipped Maple Mountain's defense to pieces. Before long, the Froggies commanded a 9-1 lead. Maple Mountain couldn't recover from Crabb's efforts. Upham and Moore delivered punishing hits that ensured the Golden Chirps would be unable to regain the momentum. A Crabb kill scored the match point for the Froggies.

Dixie Flyboys Defeat Lehi Froggies 49-48 In Double Overtime Football ThrillerBy Dean Von MemmottTimp Sports Weekly Publisher

During non-league football action at Lehi Aug. 29, the Dixie Flyers, AKA the Flyboys, defeated the Lehi Pioneers, AKA the Froggies, 49-48 in a double overtime thriller.

The game was one of the most riveting -- correction, ribbiting football contests played at Pioneer Stadium in recent years. The lead changed hands several times before its outcome was finally resolved in the second overtime.

Not to be confused with the Dixie University Partyin' Red Storm, the Flyers found a Lehi team more ready to play in the Aug. 29 game than during a non-league contest last September. During the Flyboys first drive of the game, the Froggies kept them from zooming beyond the 50-yard line. At the end of the Flyboys' march, their punter, McClane Keenan, lost hold of the ball, and the Froggies recovered it on the Flyboys' eight-yard line. Froggie tight end Cody Frampton really came alive through catching a touchdown pass during 9:40. Dallas Mosher kicked in an extra point.

Long carries by Ammon "Shep" Takau and Treton Miller spurred Dixie into the Froggie 10-yard zone.  Keenan scored a touchdown. He tried to scored an extra-point, but his PAT kick failed. 
During the next Lehi drive, quarterback Calvin Miles lost hold of the ball, but teammate Braden Goldfinch recovered the ball. The offensive fumble recovery gave Lehi fans a chance to see why Froggie running Caden Colton should deserve receiving fan mail from Division I coaches all over the country. Taking a handoff from Miles, Colton raced 60 yards for a touchdown. Mosher booted in an extra point.

The Flyboys didn't let the first quarter pass without scoring another touchdown. Quarterback Shep Takau fired a 41-yard pass to Miller for a touchdown. Keenan booted in an extra point to end the quarter with the Froggies leading by just 14-13.
Lehi lost its first lead early in the second quarter. The Flyboys marched clear to the Froggie 22-yard line, where Takau connected a go-ahead touchdown pass to Bret "Hairy" Barber. Keenan's successful extra-point kick improved the Flyboys' lead at 20-14.
The Dixie defense held Lehi scoreless in the second quarter. Lehi did stop one Flyboy drive at the Froggie 8-yard line, preventing Dixie from scoring another touchdown that period.
The Flyboys' 20-14 lead vanished late in the third period through Miles scoring a tying touchdown on a one-yard run. Though Mosher's extra-point kick tipped the Froggies ahead, Miller shocked them through scoring a touchdown on a 98-yard kickoff return. Keenan's third straight successful extra-point kick sent Dixie flying with a 27-21 lead into the final quarter.
With Carlton having a great night on the field, Dixie had much to worry about him, especially during the final quarter. Midway through it, for example, he raced 67 yards on one carry, and on the next play. he scored a tying touchdown. A Mosher extra-point kick put Lehi back out in front 28-27.

A long Takau carry put the ball on the Lehi 18-yard line, and Miller scored a touchdown to put Dixie ahead 33-28. Keenan then scored on a two-point conversion, improving the Flyboy lead at 35-28.
For a little while, Dixie looked as though it would zoom home with a win. However, Froggie Spencer Blackham scored a touchdown on a six-yard toss from Miles. Mosher booted in an extra-point to force the game into overtime.

In the first overtime, Calton scored a go-ahead touchdown during a 19-yard play, and Mosher kicked in an extra point. Takau guided the Flyboys clear to the Lehi 2-yard line, and he scored a touchdown on a keeper play. Keenan's successful extra-point kick forced the game into the second overtime.

It opened with Takau passing 25-yards to Jaden Harrison for a touchcown. Keenan scored another PAT. Lehi had Calton score a touchdown on a 13-yard carry. Lehi then gambled on a try for a two-point conversion. A Lehi receiver caught a pass inches outside the end zone, ending the game.

Awesome AF Caveharriers Win Both Varsity Girls and Boys' Titles in 18th Annual AF Grass Relays
By Dean Von Memmott
Timp Sports Weekly Publisher

The Awesome American Fork Cavewomen and Cavemen pulled off an awesome feat during 18th Annual American Fork Grass Relays held behind American Fork High Aug. 30. American Fork won both the varsity girls and boys' relays.

"This is the first time that our girls and boys' varsity teams have finished first in the 18 years that we've hosted these relays," American Fork Coach Bruno Hunziker. "Moreover, our girls set a new varsity relay record today. The old one was held by Bingham. Today's new record is 1:02:5. The old one was 1:02:31."

Whereas the Aug. 30 meet's junior varsity races followed a format in which the schools' racers competed strictly as individuals, the Grass Relays' varsity portion involved racers on five-member teams each taking a turn at carrying a baton twice around a mile-long course dotted in spots with bales of hay near the baseball field.

The members of the Awesome Cavewomen's varsity relay team included Sammy Hollingsworth, Maddie Bond, Katie Cornell, Lexi Green, and Sophie Baird. The Awesome Cavemen's varsity team include Zach Jacklin, McKay Johns, Jacob Chase, and Danny Bentley.

The Awesome Cavemen took a wide lead early in the varsity boys' relay, and none of the other teams could close in on them. The No. 5 runner on the American Fork boys' varsity team, McKay Johns said, "I didn't have anyone following closely behind me. I finished 69 seconds ahead of the first guy behind me. It had been pretty clear during the second handoff, we would win by a wide distance. This is a great way to begin the season."

The outcome of the varsity girls' race stayed murky all the way through the course of the hour that it lasted. For a while, the race went down as a contest between Jordan and American Fork. However, the Olympus Titans, AKA the Midgets, soon swiped the second-place spot from the Jordan Beetdiggers, AKA the Plowgirls. Olympus stayed closely behind American Fork for a little while. Uintah then squeezed the Midgets out of the second-place spot. Even the Mountain Crest Mustangs, AKA the Ponies, swiped the second-place spot in hopes of overtaking American Fork. The Awesome Cavewomen continued staying ahead, though.
"When Maddie brought us into first place, I extended a long enough distance to stay ahead of the other runners during my turn on the course," Baird said.
"When I got the baton, I stayed narrowly ahead of Jordan, Uintah, and Mountain Crest's runners," said Lexi Green, American Fork's No. 5 runner, who had crossed the finish line ahead of the race's other No. 5 runners.
While the Awesome Cavewomen had turned out to be the fastest varsity girls' relay team, none of them emerged the as the race's fastest baton carrier. The medal for that honor went to Bingham's Marlee Mitchell. Still the Awesome Cavewomen had two representatives among the race's 15 fastest racers. Hollingsworth got recognized for finishing seventh and Bench 12th.
AKA the Froggies, the Lehi Pioneers had a teammate among the race's top finishers: Sarah Muggleson, who finished 14th.
Four Awesome Cavemen represented American Fork in the varsity boys' top 15 fastest baton carriers. Jacklin took first, Clinger second, Johns third, and Chase eight.

Lone Peak's Adam Jensen took sixth among the varsity boys' relay race's 15 top baton carriers, earning his team a fourth-place finish in the race. The Froggies took third in the varsity boys' team rankings, thanks to Ryan Watson finishing 12th and Sean Hagger 15th in their race's top 15 finishers.

The Awesome Cavewomen posted winners in both the freshman-sophomore and junior-senior jayvee races. Cami Squires finished first and Katie Bradshaw second in the freshman-sophomore race. In the girls' jayvee junior-senior race, Nikki Smith took first and teammate Ann Gunther fifth.

Two of American Fork's arch rivals had runners among the top 10 finishers in each of those races. The Lone Peak Loners had Amanda Neilson take third and Alison Tennant seventh in the freshman-sophomore girls' race. Froggie Emily Stowers took fifth in it.

A "distant cousin" of late TV actor Andy Kauffman, Froggie Maddie Kauffman took second in the junior-senior jayvee girls' race. Lone Peak's Amanda Harvey took ninth in that same race.

"Cami Squires is our No. 1 runner, but she had a bad afternoon at the Highland Invitational up at Sugarhouse Park last week. She finished as our No. 6 girl. So we had her run in the freshman-sophomore race this morning," said Hunziker. "This year's girls team has the deepest amount of talent I've seen in years. Any seven of them could win spots on the varsity team on any given day."

The Awesome Cavemen didn't have anyone finish in the top 10 of the freshman-sophomore race. Froggie Collin Morrison won it while teammate Mike Hinckley took second in it. Westlake Shocker Lyle Johnston took eighth in that same race.

The Awesome Cavemen dominated the jayvee junior-senior boys' race. During it, Awesome Cavewomen Joe Simmons took firsth, Hagen Harmer second, Connor Hoopes fourth, Nate Tracy fifth, and Ashton Jensen ninth.

In that same race, Froggie Dylan Barker took third and Shocker Josh Call sixth.

Lehi Coach Jamie Alvisio said, "Our boys had won the recent Wasatch Invitational. Our third-place finish in the varsity boys' relay showed how well they could keep faring this season."

American Fork boys' coach Timo Mostert said, "We had a really great time through this past summer in getting ready for this season. Because the course here is their home one, our guys were the all more motivated to open their season with a win. Their first-place finish here if the fifth straight time that they've won the Grass Relays. We're going to have pre-region here next Wednesday. Four of the state's top five boys' teams are in our region. So the next meet promises to be a tough one for us."
