AF Cavekickers' Preseason Schedule Ends With Home Loss to Bountiful Aug. 18
By Dean Von Memmott
Timp Sports Weekly Publisher
The Awesome American Fork Cavewomen finished their preseason girls' soccer schedule with a home loss to the Bountiful Braves, AKA the Bravettes, Aug. 18. The Bravettes blanked American Fork 3-0.
American Fork Coach Becca Murdock said, "It could have been worse for us, because Bountiful is one of the best teams in 4-A. They were beating us a lot on 50-50 balls, and we were timid on offense. We played good enough defense to be able to hold them to 1-0 at the half. They didn't score their last two goals until the final 10 minutes of the game. We count ourselves fortunate that the final score turned out to be 3-0.
Throughout the first half, Cavewoman goalie Makenzie Empey held up well under the immense pressure that the Bravettes put upon her. Bountiful stayed on the offensive for most the game.
Amy Krommenhoek, Laini Kalumbi, Maria Fuller, and Kylee Dibb led the few Cavewoman attacks deep into Bountiful territory. A sophomore, Bravette goalie Carly Longhurst kept the Cavemen from slipping any of their three shots past her.
Bailey Furmanski and Mary Leloudis guided concentrated Bountiful attacks deep into the American Fork center. Midway through the first half, Leloudis kicked in the first Brave goal. It motivated the Bountiful players to stay on the offensive for most of the first half.
Early in the second half, a Brave foul canceled out a successful shot kicked in by Jessica Noakes. The cancellation did nothing, though, to spur the Cavewomen on to fight more aggressively to grab the offensive from the Braves.
American Fork showed a tenacity, though, to hold up well under much stress from an opposing team's offensive efforts. Dibb and McKell Palmer frequently cleared the ball out of American Fork's penalty box before the Braves could kick in a goal.
The Cavewomen received a good opportunity for tying the game midway through the second half when Fox made an indirect kick over the heads of a wall of Bountiful players. However, Longhurst's quickness kept the Cavewomen from tying the game.
In the final five minutes, American Fork's defensive game finally weakened. Kate Kuykendall scored the second Bountiful goal from inside the penalty box. Felicia Sturgeon scored the third goal on a breakaway play.
Lehi Opens League Plays With 2-0 Win at Home over Orem

The Lehi Pioneers opened their girls' soccer league season with a 2-0 win at home against the Orem Tigers, AKA the Tiggers.
The Pioneers and Tiggers battled to a 0-0 tie in the first half. Two minutes into the second half, however, Aliese Burningham scored the first goal. Lehi's lead stayed at 1-0 until the final 12 minutes when Jessica Vanderhoef scored the final goal to flood away the Tiggers' attempt to bounce back to force the game into overtime.
Lehi Coach Brett Bergholm said, "Offensively, Orem is one of the best teams in 4-A. To be able to shut them out says something about us after what we've had to do in working on our communication and cooperation on the field. Problems with those things were what cost us in our games against Bingham and Judge. Makalle Yates and Briar Sands came up with great defensive efforts for us. Makalle did exceptionally well at sweeper while Sands held up well as our goalie.
"Emily Fox and Dylan Downs peformed really well on the offense for us. Their efforts helped us get those two goals. Thanks to them, Aliese was about to score our first goal on an assist from Tosha Price, and Kyleigh Royall made a big pass to Jessica Vanderhoef for the goal that put the game away for us in the final 12 minutes.
"Our game here against Wasatch this Saturday promises to be a good one. Wasatch always has a good girls' soccer program."
Lehi Steps On Wasatch Wasps 6-1 In Non-League Girls' Soccer Game Aug. 22

In their final non-league girls' soccer game for this season, the Lehi Pioneers stepped on the Wasps, AKA the Bugs, 6-1 at home Aug. 22.
Lehi Coach Brett Bergholm said, "This was a great way to finish our preseason schedule. Usually, Wasatch has been able to play us closer games. Our timing on the field allowed us to catch them off balance. We managed to finish our shots much better today than we did against Judge and Bingham recently. We missed a lot of key shots in those two games. Also, our timing in those games was sloppy. It was great, though, that we learned a lot from them, so we were able to play much better this morning against Wasatch."
The Wasatch game was supposed to have have been played at the Real Salt Lake's Sandy stadium. However, the game got moved to the Pioneers' soccer field. This gave the Pioneers a chance to carry on the momentum, which they had gained from their 2-0 win over the Orem Tigers, AKA the Tiggers two days before.
In flooding away the Heber City-based team Aug. 22, Lehi had no trouble that it had learned from its losses from the Bingham Miners, AKA the Pickers and the Judge Memorial Bulldogs, AKA the Bulldoggies.
Lehi didn't waste no time in building up a 4-0 lead over Wasatch in the Aug. 22 game. Ten minutes into the game, Alex May scored the game's first goal to spur the Pioneers into hopping all over the Wasps.
Tristen Lowe attempted to spark the Wasps into buzzing back into the game before Lehi could swamp them with a big lead. Lowe's efforts were not to be. During the next 20 minutes of the first half, Kyleigh Royall scores two fo Lehi's next three goals. Jada Muse kicked a goal to help Lehi secure a 4-0 lead.
Royall showed in the second half that she was not willing to be satisfied with her first-half performance. When the Wasps drew a foul in midway through the second period, she scored her a goal on a penalty kick.
Lehi's Briar Sands kept the Wasps from scoring anywhere outside the penalty box during the whiole game. However, the Pioneers drew a foul late in the game. This allowed the Wasps to get onto the scoreboard finally. Wasp Annie Fitzgerald scored the a Wasatch goal on a penalty kick. It was the only shot that marred Sands' perfect performance as a goalie.
In response to that Wasp shot, Royall dribbled by Wasatch sweeper Natalie Pennington and Sierra Wardle to score a goal for Lehi. Royall led the Pioneers with four goals.
Bergholm said, "The biggest game for us so far this year will be at Timpanogos."
The Pioneers' next home game will be against the Westlake Thunder, a spinoff of Lehi.

Blogosphere is No Place for Defaming People

I watched a recent broadcast of Good Morning America talk about a supermodel forcing Blogspot.com reveal in court the identity of a blogger who had defamed her. Watching that story made me think about the importance of bloggers agreeing to a promise that when they sign up to be members of Blogspot.com they will not defame anyone.
When I created Timpwriter.Blogspot.com, I did say some bad things about the Provo (Utah) Daily Herald. However, those things were criticisms of that newspaper's disregarding the importance of sports sections of weekly newspapers and the Daily Herald's decision to do away with the weeklies which norther Utah County residents had read for many years. However, never did I write defamatory things about people who work at the Daily Herald. While there are folks employed there there I still don't like, I am not going to say bad things about any of them on this website. This blog is still strictly for sports news for northern Utah County, Utah, readers. That will always be the case.
When people write defamatory things on the Internet, they create all sorts of legal problems for themselves and the owners of Internet services like Blogspot.com. If a person is going to write defamatory things about folks he doesn't like, he put those things in a diary and then destroy it when he is of more clear mind.
The Internet is no place to publish vicious things a person feel about somebody. A blogger must not present to the world his hated for anyone. It must stay private. Making it public presents too many legal problems.
