MV T-Bears Dry Up Lehi Spikers To Force 2-Way Tie for 1st In Region 7 Standings

Timp Sports Weekly Publisher
AKA the Teddy Bears and T-Bears, the Mountain View Bruins dried up the Lehi Pioneers in a five-game volleyball match at Lehi Oct. 13 to force a two-way tie for first in Region Seven standings. The T-Bears bested Lehi by scores of 23-25, 26-24, 22-25, 25-17, 15-9.
Going into the Oct. 13 match, Lehi was smarting from a defeat that they had suffered on the court of the Orem Tigers, AKA the Tiggers, during Oct. 9. To retain their sole hold on first place, the Pioneers needed to hop past the Bruins.
During the first game, Lehi looked as though it would be able to flood away the Teddy Bears. Serving by Mikayla Dunford sent the Pioneers rowing ahead 4-1. Led by Sherrie Millard and Rachel Steele, Mountain View clawed its way back within 6-5. A seesaw battle ensued. Aided by Madi Greenwood's serving, Miranda Parkinson and Bre Elle Bailey provided Lehi with the kills needed to keep the Bruins from seizing complete domination of the game. After Mountain View had secured a 23-22 lead, the Bruins missed a serve. It proved fatal to Mountain View in that game, for Parkinson produced two straight aces that gave Lehi the win.
For the second game, Haley Hawkes' serving gave Mountain View a 3-2 lead. The Pioneers mounted a fierce attack on it. Parkinson, Bailey, Greenwood, and Brooke Izatt waged a fierce fight against the Bruins. The Pioneers' efforts finally netted them a 13-12 lead. However, the Teddy Bears refused to give up and go hibernate. A "distant cousin" of TV's Hank Hill, Andrea Hill delivered a front-row performance as hot as inflame propane. Hill's hitting frustrated Lehi's efforts to tame the Bruins. After kills from Bailey and Parkinson had given Lehi a 24-23 lead, a Pioneer hitting error proved fatal to the home team. T-Bear Sherrie Millard tipped the ball into a Lehi hole to break a 24-24 tie. A Chelsea Schofield ace won the game 26-24 for the Bruins.
Mountain View clawed out a 4-1 lead in the third game. Aided by Ali White's assists, Bailey and Parkinson guided Lehi in tying the game at seven. However, a Millard kill put the Bruins back ahead. Mountain View couldn't gain complete control of the game. Frequent ties occurred during. After an Izatt kill had evened the game at 22, a Mountain View hitting error enabled Lehi to go on to win the game 25-22 on a Katy Ford kill.
For the fourth game, Shelby Sorenson's serving allowed the Pioneers to build up a lead of 8-3. A Lehi hitting error gave Mountain View a big break. Hits from Steele, Scholfield, and Millard permitted the Bruins to get ahead 13-12. The strain of trying to keep Mountain View in check finally got to Lehi during that point. The Pioneers fell apart, and Scholfield's hitting prodded the Bruins in to pulling. When they won Game 4 25-17, they had the right kind of momentum needed for doing well in Game 5.
Hawkes' hitting gave the Bruins a 3-1 lead in the final game. Parkinson led Lehi back to take a 6-5 advantage. However, Heather Glassford, Scholfield, and Millard pooled their efforts together to hammar Lehi's front row to pieces. A Millard block gave Mountain View the win. Both the Pioneers and Teddy Bears now have 6-2 records in Region Seven play.
After the match, Lehi Jamie Ingersoll said, "I don't want to talk about tonight. Angie, give 'em the stats."
Lehi assistant coach Angie Roberts said, "Miranda Parkinson had 13 kills and Brooke Izatt seven."
A former Awesome American Fork Caveman, Mountain View Coach Andy Young had much to talk about. He said, "Tonight gives us a better attitude as we get ready to go into the state tournament. We're doing much better this year than we did last. Our girls are very talented. If they keep doing well, we could indeed take region. I'm glad my girls stayed positive tonight.
"We dug well tonight. We had 91 digs, 54 kills, and 12 aces. During this week, we practiced two-on-two. That helped us a lot tonight. We played only seven girls tonight. Scholfied had 21 kills, four aces, and 36 digs. Rachel Steele went 21-21 in her serving while she also produced 14 kills and 10 digs. Haley Hawkes had three aces, five kills, and four blocks. Sherrie Millard had nine kills and 10 digs for us."
Lehi Kickers Come From Behind to Defeat Olympus Midgets 3-2 in State Soccer Octafinal

The Lehi Pioneers came from behind to swish aside the Olympus Titans, AKA the Midgets, 3-2 in a state 4-A octafinal at Lehi Oct. 13.
Olympus' Savanah Spear scored the game's first goal during the opening half. The period ended with the Midgets leading 1-0. In the second half, though, Lehi took control of the game. Despite Olympus getting a goal from Natalie Bryson, the Titans' season soon got flooded away. Makelle "Bill" Yates scored the first Pioneer goal. Jessica Vanderhoef scored the next two Lehi goals to send the Pioneers into the quarterfinals against the Snow Canyon Warriors, AKA the Flakies.
Lehi Coach Brett Bergholm said, "Today wasn't one of our prettier games. We have them some breaks that enabled them to lead us 1-0 by halftime. In the second half, we had seven or eight corner kicks on which we could have scored goals. A 3-5-3 offense, which we employed, worked for us today. This is the first time in a long while that we've made it past the first round."
Lehi Melts Snow Canyon 1-0 To Win Semifinal Berth of State 4-A Girls' Soccer Playoffs

For the first time in five years, the Lehi Pioneers are rowing to a state girls' soccer semifinal. Lehi earned that privilege by melting the Snow Canyon Warriors, AKA the Flakies, 1-0 in a quarterfinal played at Lehi Oct. 15.
"This was not one of our better games," confessed Lehi Coach Brett Bergholm. "The longer it took us to get our offense going, the more difficult it became for us to score. We had countless opportunities to score. We should have scored way more goals than we did. The longer it took us to get our offense going, the more advantages we gave Snow Canyon."
Neither team could score in the first half. It saw an aggressive effort by Snow Canyon's Liz Ricks and Sarah Henderson to deliver a fatal jab to Lehi's center. Through her pluckiness, Pioneer goalie Briar Sands prevented Henderson from scoring on frightening breakaway plays.
In the second half, Tasha Price, Jada Muse, and Kyleigh Royall tried turning away Snow Canyon's flanks. However, the Warriors' wings wouldn't fold. Lehi opted to hit Snow Canyon in the middle. Finally with 14 minutes of regulation play left, Lehi's Mikaela Kauffman dribbled into the Warrior penalty box and kicked a shot. It bounced off a Snow Canyon defender and into the goal net. The remaining minutes of the game went down as a nerve-wracking, defensive battle that saw Sands and Snow Canyon goalie Cecilee Horlacher hold up well under the immense pressure the game.
Brighton's Bad Ol' Puddy Tats Ruin AF Caveman's Last Home Game

The Brighton Bengals aren't AKA the Bad Ol' Puddy Tats for nothing. They ruined the end of the Awesome American Fork Cavemen football team's home season Oct. 14 by defeating them 35-12.
The game opened with American Fork quarterback Chase Hansen guiding a strong drive from the Caveman 18-yard line. Aided by Cade Zarboc's running, the Cavemen got into midfield position. However, a string of incomplete passes slowed them down to a halt.
Brighton's offense didn't fare any better during the first quarter. Quarterbacked by Derek Newell, the Bad Ol' Puddy Tats attempted to profit from running back Sosie Takie's rushing. However, late in the first quarter, Caveman Scott Newman picked off a Newell pass and returned it to the Caveman 46-yard line. Zarboc's carries moved the Cavemen clear to the Bengal 17-yard line at the end of the first quarter.
Early in the second quarter, the Cavemen fumbled away the pigskin on the Bengal 15-yard line. That turnover gave the Bengals the break they needed. Chase Felix's catch of a 40-yard pass from Newell soon resulted in the Bengals' penetrating the Caveman 10-yard zone. On a two-yard carry, Takie scored the game's first touchdown at 5:25. A short time later, Newell connected a 58-yard pass to Steve Reinson for a touchdown at 0:24.
After throwing a 41-yard pass to Chase Felix early in the third quarter, Newell scored a touchdown himself on a six-yard keeper.
With American Fork's Ethan Wright catching a 15-yard pass from Hansen, the Cavemen stormed all the way to the Brighton 2-yard line. There, the quarterback tossed a touchdown pass to Zarboc. The Bengals prevented American Fork from scoring an extra point.
Before the Cavemen could score again, Reinson caught an 80-yard touchdown pass. It pretty much doomed whatever chance American Fork had left for coming back, even though Hansen did pass 20 yards to Zarboc for a touchdown at 2:09 in the third quarter.
The score stayed 28-12 until the last minute of the game when the Steve "The Baddest Puddy Tat Around" Robison picked off a Hansen pass and raced 80 yards for a touchdown. A Brighton PAT ended the night's scoring.
