Bullpuppies Ruin Lehi Homecoming Week By Ripping Pioneers 32-0

AKA the Bullpuppies, the Provo Bulldogs spoiled the Lehi Pioneers' 2009 Homecoming by ripping them apart by a score of 32-0 during a Region Four football game Sept. 25.
The first quarter went down as a deadlocked affair. Spurred on by T.J. Russon and Jake Benson's catches of long passes from quarterback Palmer Page, Lehi marched from its 23-yard line to the Provo 38-yard line. Three straight incomplete passes prompted the Pioneers to gamble on a field goal try. The ensuing kick sent the ball falling several yards short of the Provo goal post. For the rest of the quarter, Lehi's defense managed to keep the Bulldogs, quarterbacked by Matt Griner, from moving the ball deep into Pioneer territory.
With the first quarter ending in a score of 0-0, spectators expected that a chance did exist that a close game would finally be played on Lehi's Astro Turf field this time. That expectation turned out to be false during the second period. Early in it, the Pioneers punted to their 32-yard line. After Griner got sacked on a first-down play, running back Make Unufe rushed the ball 33 yards to the Lehi 1-yard line. At 9:41, Griner pushed his way through for a touchdown, which Trent Andrus, a "distant cousin" of actress Ursula Andrus, frosted with a successful extra-point kick.
The touchdown sounded the start of another long rout for Lehi. The Pioneers got one drive going strong. They looked as though they would tie the score. Suddenly Bulldog cornerback Alec Hunsaker picked off a Palmer Page pass and returned the interception 12 yards to the Lehi 29-yard line. The turnover resulted in running back Kyler Hamilton scoring a touchdown on a 36-yard run during 4:00. A few minutes later, Lehi fumbled away the ball on the 30-yard line, and Bulldog linebacker Armound Na'oupu recovered the fumble. The linebacker raced away for a touchown. Lehi prevented Provo from tacking on a two-point conversion. That achievement gave the Pioneers little consolation as they went into their locker room during halftime.
A Bulldog penalty nullified a 16-yard Griner touchdown run midway through the third quarter, allowing Lehi to hold Provo scoreless that period. In the middle of it, Lehi's Justin Cottle picked off a Griner pass and raced 30 yards into Provo territory. Carries by Colby Massa and Tyrell Fox moved Lehi all the way to the Provo 25-yard line. The Bulldog defense stopped the Pioneers there. The Provo 25-yard line became a barrier impossible for Lehi to penetrate during the second half.
In the final quarter, Bulldog linebacker Cam VanWagner recovered a Lehi fumble and raced to the Pioneer 19-yard line. The turnover doomed Lehi, for Griner soon scored a touchdown on a four-yard keeper play. He scored another touchdown during a 57-yard run a few minutes later. That TD ended the night's scoring.
