I had originally intended to have this issue focus on soccer and baseball games that the Ferocious Pleasant Grove Vikings played last week. However, after I had covered the Region Four opener between the Ferocious Vikings and the Lehi Pioneers, AKA the Froggies, I had learned that first-year Froggie baseball coach Jason Ingersoll had scheduled a home-and-home series against the Hillcrest Huskies, AKA the Puppies. I missed the Froggies' 10-9 win over the Puppies at Lehi. However, when I learn via the D-News' website that Lehi would be playing at Hillcrest on March 22, I decided to cover that non-league game rather than travel down to Pleasant Grove to cover the Ferocious Vikings' baseball doubleheader against the Jordan Beetdiggers, AKA the Plowboys. 

The decision turned out to be a wise one, for the Plowboys clobbered the Ferocious Vikings in both ends of the twin bill. So no way would Ferocious Viking Coach Darin "That's Bush League" Henry have wanted to talk with me right after the doubleheaders. Jason Ingersoll was more than eager to talk with me right after his Froggies had leaped past the Puppies 9-3.

We will look first at the Froggie-Ferocious Viking soccer game. We will then go over how Jason's web-footed fixed the Puppies in their March 22 non-league contest. As they say in Pleasant Grove, let's sail straight to those stories.

Lehi Froggies Outlast Ferocious PG Vike Kickers 2-1 in Region 4 Boys' Soccer Opener

By Dean Von Memmott

Timp Sports Weekly Publisher

AKA the Froggies, the Lehi Pioneers began their Region Four boys' soccer schedule with a 2-1 win at home against the Ferocious Pleasant Grove Vikings at home March 18.

The game started on a riveting -- correction, ribbiting note, and the it stayed tight through the rest of the evening. During the first minute of play, Froggie Connor "I Can See For" Miles scored the game's first goal. As Miles' successful shot zoomed into the goal net, it erased Ferocious Viking goalie Shadow Bishop's golden luck of not having been scored on during this season. Going into the region opener, Pleasant Grove had built up a preseason record of two wins and two ties. However, that record was not going to be of much good to Bishop now, especially when Miles' goal created the impression that the Froggies would hop all over Pleasant Grove. The expectation quickly turned out to be false.

Five minutes later, Ferocious Viking Matt "Stiffie" Smyth evened the game at one. Smyth's goal sent PG's morale soaring high like a plume of smoke. Ferocious Viking midfielder Omar "Kayam" Ortiz, for example, guided deep penetrations of the Froggie center, putting much pressure on Froggie goalie Tanner "Muncie" Munson. Good old Muncie Munson didn't let Ortiz or Smyth boot any more shots past him, even though Pleasant Grove continued receiving great shot selections throughout the course of the night. Also, Bishop played very well like one-time Pleasant Grove goalie Brock DeGraff did several years ago.

Ferocious Viking offensive wing Nate Spencer often received chances for scoring on indirect kicks. However, none of his indirect kicks could get past Munson. Even though Spencer terrorized Lehi, especially in the second half. Spencer's aggressiveness almost sent the game into overtime. However, Froggies like Dallas Mosher, Kris Taylor, and Chris "C-Rod" Rodriguez prevented Spencer from doing severe damage to Lehi.

Meanwhile, the game stayed tied until the final two minutes of the first half. In having failed to have corner kicks of his produce goals for Lehi, Froggie Jake Clements booted in a tie-breaking goal just before halftime. After that successful shot, the game grounded down to a nail-biting defensive duel for the rest for the night. 

Lehi Coach Jerry Preisendorf said, "We were sloppy in the middle. That was why PG had possession of the ball most of the time. It's a good thing that Tanner had a great night as a goalie."

Lehi Froggies Fix Hillcrest Puppies Both Times in 2-Game Baseball Series

Timp Sports Weekly Publisher

The Lehi Pioneers, AKA the Froggies, swept a two-game series against the Hillcrest Huskies, AKA the Puppies, and posted a 6-5 win on the Cyprus Pirates' Magna field last week to post a 5-3 preseason record in baseball.

The Froggies' three triumphs last week improved their winning streak at five straight games. In a March  18 game at Lehi, the Froggies outlasted the Puppies 11-10. A sixth-inning one-run triple by Morgan Soper gave the Froggies their one-run win over the Puppies.

In the March 20 exhibition game in Magna, neither team could score in the first four innings. In the top of the fifth, the Froggies scored all of their six runs for the night. Blake Smith's two-run double ultimately awarded the win.

The next morning, neither the Froggies nor the Puppies could make any hits until midway through their rematch in Midvale. That fact couldn't stop Lehi from building up a 3-0 lead during the game's first three innings.

In the top of the first, for example, Puppy pitcher Andy "Barky" Reich walked Soper and Paxton Terry. A grandson of Payson Kitty football legend Chad Smith,  Soper scored the game's first run on an error at second. With two outs, Terry scored on another Puppy error. In retaliation, Reich struck out Colt "Forty-Five" Sampson.

Even though Hillcrest's Landin "Woof-Woof" Shiller got on base through an error, pitcher Blake Smith struck out Reich and Dakota "Prairie Doggie" Parker to keep the Froggies' 2-0 lead intact at the end of the first inning.

The Puppies didn't let the Froggies put any runners on base during the top of the second. However, Smith continued holding the Puppies scoreless through posting three strikeouts, even though he beaned Jake "K-9" Harris and walked Chris "White Fang" Okomoto.

Getting on base during two third-inning outs, Froggie Ryan Absher went on to steal home. Lehi's 3-0 lead became threatened in the bottom of the third when the Puppies loaded the bases on no outs. Suddenly, Reich got called out for interference at home plate. Catcher Terry turned up a double play to end the inning with Lehi still ahead 3-0.

Sampson got on base through an error during one out in the fourth's top half. Sampson went on to steal home. After catcher Okomoto had tagged Ryan Barnes at the plate, Froggie Cam Grace hit a single for the game's first hitting, scoring Preston Higgins.

In the top of the fifth, Absher singled into left, and Terry doubled him in. Blake Smith singled in Terry, and then came home on Coy Smith's sacrifice groundout.

The fifth's lower half opened with Tony "Mondy Moon Doggie" Mondragon doubling into left for the Puppies' first hit of the morning. Mondragon went on to steal home plate. Teammate Skylar "Dog Star" Oaks hit a one-run single to cut the lead to 8-2.

Absher hit a one-out, right-field single in the top of the sixth. Before Lehi could go on a one-out rally, Terry into a double play that prevented Lehi from picking up any insurance runs. In the bottom of sixth, the Puppies again loaded the bases on no outs. Barnes replaced Blake Smith at the mound and turned up a double play. Right after it, Barky Reich singled into left. Parker batted in a run, then got stuck on base.

In the top of the seventh, Blake Smith tripled into center, and he then scored on a Sampson sacrifice groundout. Reich held the Froggies scoreless after that point. During the bottom of the seventh, Ryan "The Green Beagle" Weadle hit a two-out single into left, but Barnes struck out Reese "Laika" Logan to clutch the win for the Froogies.

Lehi Coach Jason Ingersoll said, "Their pitcher [Reich] threw in top form. It took us four innings to get the feel of him before we started making hits. The kids slugged the ball very well, and they recovered some great groundballs. We also came up with a couple of double plays that proved quite critical to us."

This week, Lehi is scheduled to open Region Four play against the Riverton Silverwolves, AKA the Silverpups.

Lehi Froggie-Orem Tigger Soccer Duel

Publisher's Message

For this week's issue, we look at a preseason boys' soccer game between the Lehi Pioneers (AKA the Froggies) and the Orem Tigers (AKA the Tiggers). Much of the game was Lehi-dominated. However, Orem's players reminded Lehi late in the game that they still had a lot of bounce. Hey, Orem High kids are nicknamed Tiggers for a reason. So as they say at Orem, let's bounce straight to the story.

Lehi Froggies Flood Away Orem Tiggers 4-1 in Non-League Play March 14

By Dean Von Memmott

Timp Sports Weekly Publisher

AKA the Froggies, the Lehi Pioneer boys' soccer team finished its two-week preseason schedule with a 4-1 win at home over the Orem Tigers, AKA the Tiggers, March 14.

Lehi Coach Jerry Preisendorf said, "Our players did a pretty good job in maintaining ball possession for much of the first half. Late in the second half, they become sloppy in their playing. That allowed Orem to come back to threaten us greatly. Orem showed that they had a lot of bite."

It took a while, though, for the Tiggers to bounce back into the game. With much relish, the Froggies hopped all over them in the first half. Seven minutes into it, Froggie Markus Jones scored the game's first goal from inside the Tigger penalty box.

Tiggers Jeremy Pukahi and Parker Louder guided some strong Orem efforts at tying the score at one. While Pukahi attempted to Lehi's defensive line in the middle, Louder attempted to do end runs around the Froggies. However, Froggie goalie Tanner "Muncie" Munson didn't let a single Tigger shot get past him. His biggest save of the first half was his blocking an Ethan "Springs" Blanchard indirect shot.

Parker Louder's extreme close resemblance to Orem Coach Jesse Louder quickly stirred up memories stretching a generation back. Those memories were of the older Louder being the head coach of American Fork Junior High girls' basketball team that went undefeated and started the athletic career of the Beautiful Stephanie Trane, an Awesome American Fork Cavewoman sports legend who went on to  shine in Utah Valley Community College and BYU athletics. Jesse Louder, meanwhile, went on to coach the Tiggers' girls' basketball team as well as their girls and boys' soccer programs. The memories about the Beautiful Stephanie Trane and Jesse Louder left my mind when I saw Isaiah "El Halcon" Altamirano scored the second Froggie goal late in the first half. El Halcon's shot gave the Froggies' something to croak about at halftime.

In the first minute of the second half, Froggie Kyle Curtis scored the game's third goal. Teanmate Connor "I Can See For" Miles punched in the game's fourth goal four minutes later. The Froggies' 4-0 lead presented the idea that the Tiggers would quickly become too discouraged to bounce back into the game.

However, instead of causing Orem to lose hope, the game's score lulled the Froggies into becoming less aggressive on the field. They made sloppy passes that presented the Tiggers golden opportunities that they quickly bounced at. Tiggers Emil "Cue Ball" Cuello, Jake "Mr. Baad" Lambson, and Braden "General" Patten joined Pukakhi and Louder in putting much pressure on Froggie defenders, especially Munson. On one indirect kick 14 minutes into the second half, for example, Pukahi fired a shot into the Froggie net. Pukahi's successful shot caused the Tiggers to bounce for joy.

Lehi's defense tightened up after that shot, however, and guided by Muncie Munson, the Froggies didn't let the Tiggers make any more goals despite strong offensive efforts from Parker, Cue Ball Cuello and Springs Blanchard.

Lehi Froggies Open Boys' Soccer Season With 1-0 Win at Home Against Mountain Crest Ponies

By Dean Von Memmott

Timp Sports Weekly Publisher

With both their girls and boys' basketball season now over, the Lehi Pioneers, AKA the Froggies, spent March 7, focusing on the start of their boys' soccer season. It opened on a riveting -- correction, ribbiting note. Lehi's preseason opener at home saw the Froggies out last the Mountain Crest Mustangs, AKA the Ponies, 1-0.

The game's final outcome got decided midway through the first half. Lehi Coach Jerry Prisendorf said, "Twenty-five minutes into the game, Landon Jacobson connected a pass to Marcus Jones for a successful shot on goal."

The goal left the Froggies croaking for joy for a little while. After the euphoria of Jones' successful shot had faded, the Froggies went to work on trying to score more goals. However, Pony goalie Hayden "The Cache Valley Stallion" Anderson did not let any more shots sneak past him during the game.

Still, Froggies Jake Clements, Carter "Grandes" Rios, Chris "C-Rod" Rodriguez, Dallas "Texas" Mosher, Kris "Pins" Taylor, and Josh Mortensen did not let up in maintaining heavy pressure of the Pony goalie. Anderson received strong back-up from Swifty Caleb. He came up with several big steals for Mountain Crest.

The Ponies made some very deep drives into Froggie territory in the second half. However, Lehi repeatedly denied them chances for good shot selections, especially during corner kicks. Goalie Nelson "Magnetic Fingers" McEgan kept the Froggies' 1-0 lead intact throughout the entire second period.

Prisendorff said, "We maintained good possession for most of the game, and we did not panic once in the game."

Awesome AF Cavebatters Drop Varsity Baseball Opener to Jordan Plowboys March 8

By Dean Von Memmott 

Timp Sports Weekly Publisher

On the morning after their boys' basketball team's year had ended at the hands of the Ferocious Pleasant Grove Vikings in the state 5-A playoffs at the U of U's Huntsman Center. the Awesome American Fork Cavemen opened a three-team baseball tournament with a one-run loss to the Jordan Beetdiggers, AKA the Plowboys. Jordan defeated American Fork's varsity team 9-8.

The game had opened on a promising note for American Fork. Through the pitching of returning senior Craig Brailsford, the Awesome Cavemen held the Plowboys scoreless in the top of the first. During the bottom of the first, a Koy Dibb double and an Andy Bartholomew triple fueled a four-run rally for the Awesome Cavemen.

Jordan started making a comeback in the top of the first. Through a Morgan "Go-Go Mo" Gomez single, the Plowboys loaded the bases on no outs. They soon scored two runs. No relation to movie character Freddie Kruger, Mason Kruger got bagged for the third Jordan out before his Plowboys could a have chance at tying the game at four in the second inning.

Pitcher Gomez did not let the Awesome Cavemen put any runners on base in the bottoms of the second and third innings. Gomez's work on the mound enabled Jordan to pick up the momentum it needed to harvest a lead midway through the game. In the top of the third, the Plowboys loaded the bases on two outs. Mason "Bales" Hayes soon came home on a passed ball, and Drew "High Risk" Lisk hit a one-run single that tied the game at four. The next inning, Jordan pulled ahead 6-4 through Hayes singling. in Colton "Close" Shaver and Kael Hathaway, a "distant cousin" of actress Anne Hathaway and Beverly Hills character Jane Hathaway.  Gomez hit a left-field single right afterwards, and comic strip character Beetle Bailey's "distant cousin" Chris Bailey tried scoring a seventh Jordan run, but catcher Bartholomew tagged him at the plate, ending the fourth inning. Despite Riley Winters hitting a two-out single for them in the bottom of the fourth, the Awesome Cavemen couldn't pick up any runs that inning.

Luck swung back to American Fork's favor in the fifth. That inning, the Awesome Cavemen prevented the Plowboys from capitalizing on a left-field single swatted by Lisk. In the bottom of the fifth, Dibb doubled in Emmett Green and then scored a tying run on an error at first base. Jordan prevented the Awesome Cavemen from pulling back out in front, however.

Singling into right during the top of the sixth, Hayes soon scored on a Seth Butterfield sacrifice fly right after Jack "Up" Butterfield had belted a center-field single. Lisk singled in Jack Butterfield to improve the lead at 8-6.

With Gomez not letting any Awesome Cavemen on base during the bottom of the sixth, American Fork's situation became more perilous in the seventh. For one, Gomez swatted a one-out, one-run single  that ultimately proved decisive in the game. In hopes of undoing the damage done by Gomez's seventh-inning RBI, Green singled on one out into left, and he moved to third on two Jordan errors, which also allowed Kody "Coco" Hall to get on base. Green soon scored on an error, and Dibb batted Hall in to cut the lead to 9-8. Gomez suddenly turned up a double play that clutched the game for Jordan.

Awesome AF Cavemen Defeat Taylorsville Road Warriors 10-1 in 2nd Game of Twin Bill
By Dean Von Memmott
Timp Sports Weekly Publisher

The Awesome American Fork Cavemen proved that they could bounce back from defeat within a matter of a couple of hours. Within a half hour after their one-run loss to the Jordan Plowboys, the Awesome Cavemen took on the Taylorsville Road Warriors, a traditional baseball superpower, and shoved them off the road by a score of 10-1 in the three-team tournament held at American Fork March 8.

On two outs in the top of the first, Road Warrior Kenny Atwood launched a solo home run over the left-field fence. As much joy as that hit did bring Taylorsville, it couldn't give the Road Warriors control of the moment for the rest of the game.  McGill Othon and Zake Stepp each singled into left field in hopes of giving their Road Warriors a chance at profiting greatly from Atwood's home run. Suddenly, pitcher Austin "Shagadelic" Pitcher struck out Chase "Puffs" Huff.

After the first inning, Pitcher didn't let any more Road Warriors make hits during his five rounds on mound. Taking over pitching duties in the sixth, Awesome Caveman reliever Tanner Norton did give up a single to Othon in the seventh. However, that Road Warrior got pinched in a fielder's choice play at second. With Norton having struck out Stepp, second baseman Hagen "Speedster" Holmstead tagged Jordan "Senor" West to end the game.

American Fork's comeback against Taylorsville unfolded with Pitcher scoring on a Road Warrior error in the bottom of the second. The game stayed tied at one until the bottom of the fifth. Its lower half opened with Logan Flinders doubling into left. Holmstead singled him in.

In the sixth, Kody "Coco" Hall singled into right, and Koy Dibb doubled him in to unleash an eight-run rally for American Fork. Dibb hit another one-run double during the rally. Tyler "Guard Dog" Gardner singled in two runs, and then came home on an error. Aided by an Emmett Green sacrifice groundout that scored a run, one-run singles from Holmstead and Seth "Needles" Taylor helped to put the final score at 10-1.

American Fork Coach Jarod Ingersoll said, "They put a lot more effort into this game than they did in the one against Jordan. Our defense didn't hold up against Jordan. We made four errors in that game. In this game, though, we made no errors. We just kept battling, and we executed some bunts."

Awesome AF Cavebatters Quiet Timpanogos T-Pups 10-0 in JV Baseball Action March 10
By Dean Von Memmott
Timp Sports Weekly Publisher

In a junior varsity baseball game at American Fork March 10, the Awesome American Fork Cavemen quieted the Timpanogos Timberwolves, AKA Timberpups and T-Pups, 10-0.

American Fork threw a different pitcher each of the five innings of the game. It wasn't that the Awesome Cavemen lost faith with every pitcher. It was that head Awesome Caveman Coach Jarod Ingersoll wanted to use the game to see which players to use of his main pitchers for a tournament that American Fork wanted to catch this weekend in Saint George, home of Dixie University, this state's most fun party school.

 The first guy that the Awesome Cavemen put on the mound was Justin DeMarco. He forced leadoff hitter Tanner "Big Stick" Evans to ground out to second baseman Hagen "Speedster" Holmstead. DeMarco gave up a single to T.C. "Kernel" Cornish, and  he walked Austin "Fabulous" Favilla. Before the T-Pups could score any runs, Oakley "Dokie" Craighead flew out to center fielder Hayden "Chief" Wood, and DeMarco struck out Tail Gunner Gillespie.

In the bottom of the first, T-Pup pitcher Big Thorn Lisage walked Holmstead on one out. Tua Ward singled Holmstead in. Big Thorn kept the Awesome Cavemen's lead stuck at 1-0 until the third inning.

During the top of it, B.J. "Big Wolf Marty" Martinez hit a single into left, and teammate Fantastic Favilla doubled into center.. However, reliever Tanner Norton didn't let the T-Pups make any gains from those two hits. Moreover, the Awesome Cavemen didn't let the Timperpups make any more hits in the game.

In the bottom of the third, Norton doubled into left, and on one out, Kody "Coco" Hall singled him to unleash a six-run rally for the Awesome Cavemen

In the bottom of the fourth, Colby Willis and Norton each singled off Lisage on one out. After the pitcher struck out DeMarco, he accidentally beaned Dallin Searle, a cousin of former American Fork baseball legend Brock Lamb. The accident loaded the bases. A Hall walk scored Willlis. Before American Fork could pick up any more runs in the fourth, Holmstead got called out for hitting the ball outside the batter's box.

That brief setback became forgotten in the bottom of the fifth. A distant cousin of my former junior high school classmate Mike Warenski, Nate Warenski hit a left-field single, setting the stage for the early end of Timpanogos. After Ward had singled into left, a Wood single brought Warenski home. Sir Turner Knight singled in Ward to end the game in an Awesome Caveman victory.

American Fork jayvee coach Jay Holmstead said, "We just wanted to see today which guys we could use as pitchers down in Saint George this weekend. The five pitchers we used today all got into a good rhythm. We also hit very good."

Lone Peak Loners Drain Lehi 85-58 in Region Four Boys' Basketball Finale Feb. 25

By Dean Von Memmott

Timp Sports Weekly Publisher

In a Region Four boys' basketball finale at Lehi Feb. 25, the Lone Peak Knights, AKA the Loners, drained the Lehi Pioneers, AKA the Froggies, 85-58.

The contest gave the Loners a chance to show why in spite of a recent region loss to the Ferocious Pleasant Grove Vikings they had the kind of firepower needed for them to blast their way another state 5-A title.

Of course, Froggies Marcus Draney and Tanner Nygren did try to keep the Loners from turning the game into a blowout. The game's opening minutes showed that. Getting the opening tipoff, Draney scored the night's first bucket. Loner Spencer "The Mountain" Curtis swished in two free throws to tie the game at two. Draney produced a three-point play to tip the Froggies back out in 5-2.

However, the Loners suddenly started taking their web-footed opponents seriously. AKA Loner High, Lone Peak tied the game at five on free throws from Frankie "Brother Action" Jackson and T.J. Haws, a brother of Tyler Haws, currently playing basketball for BYU, established by Brigham Young to glorify the University of Utah. Another two Jackson foul shots put the Loners ahead 7-5, and they went on a 12-4 scoring run. Nygren and teammate Jake "Purple Snake" Barnes guided Lehi back within 9-7, 12-9, and 14-11. However, the Loners kept the Froggies from tying the game. Steals and rebounds by Zac Hampton and Brother Action Jackson gave the Loners the momentum they need for making the night a bright time for their school. Near the end of the first quarter, Haws swished in a free throw and then produced a three-point play to give the Loners an 18-11 lead.

In the early second period, treys from Jackson and Haws gave the Loners enough gas to gallop away from the Froggies. With the score 24-11, Loner High, Nygren passed the ball to Alex "Pitbull" Pittard for a bucket in hopes of getting a rally going for the Froggies. Instead, the Loners continued swelling the lead. Before long, it grew to 30-13. Lehi tried every imaginable means to shut down Jackson and Haws in the second quarter. However, both Loners proved to be too quick for the Froggies to stop. By the end of the first half, the Loners commanded a 44-22 lead.

In the first half, Draney, a "distant cousin" of my former junior high schoolmate Casey Draney, had a nice performance in scoring. However, in the second half, the Loners cooled him down, not letting him make more than nine points for the night.

Ninth-grader Blaze Nield stepped forward for Lehi and poured in 10 points for the night, showing why college basketball scouts should keep on an eye on him through the next three years. Nield's performance got overshadowed by the impressive playing of the Loners. Both Jackson and Haws didn't let up in their efforts during the second half. Those two Loners' combined efforts for a 30-point lead for their school in the third period. Jackson wowed Loner fans with a dunk shot that he made just before the buzzer. Froggie Briggs Jensen answered that shot with a buzzer-beating trey.

In the final quarter, Loner Coach Quincy Lewis let his entire bench see some action. Reserves like Clay Wilson, Dylan Hedin, Tyson "Golden Skyline" Doman, McKay Webster, Braxton Bruni, Jantzen Allphin, and Nate "Darkness" Harkness maintained the Loners' big lead. When it had finally swelled to 77-45 on a Webster bucket, Nield hit two foul shots to stir up a Lehi rally, led by Derik Beetson, Barnes, Gavin Rasmussen, and Parker Jensen. The Froggies outscored the Loners 13-7 to get within 84-58. However, a Doman free throw put the final score at 85-58.

Nygren led the Froggies with 14 points while Barnes added another six. Haws led the Loners with 27 points while Jackson added another 21 and Curtis nine.

Awesome AF Cavewomen Dry Up Lehi Froggies 68-54 in Region 4 Girls' Hoop Finale

By Dean Von Memmott

Timp Sports Weekly Publisher

In a Region Four girls' basketball finale at Lehi Feb. 18, the Awesome American Fork Cavewomen dried up the Lehi Pioneers, AKA the Froggies, 68-54.

With both teams set to go to state, the only things on the line in the game were the matters of pride and bragging rights. Not having a single senior among them on this year's squad, the Awesome Cavewomen wanted to show that despite having dropped a home game to the Froggies last month, they could indeed dry up Lehi convincingly.

The game unfolded with Maile Richardson and Taylor Moeaki guiding the Awesome Cavewomen out to a quick, 5-0 lead. However, the Froggies leaped back within 5-4 on shots from Beth Beeston and Tyra "T-Rod" Rodriguez. Lehi suddenly turned dry in scoring. American Fork then became hot in its shooting. Aided by rebounds by Jenna "Shep Wooly" Shepherd, Moeaki, Richardson, and Taylor Larson collaborated together in creating a 13-4 lead for the American Fork. T-Rod and Beth Beeston swished in shots that cut the lead to 17-8 by the end of the first quarter.

For a little while in the second quarter, it looked as though the Awesome Cavewomen would have Lehi completely dried up. Richardson, Moeaki, and  Shepherd dominated the boards, giving the impression that the Froggies would soon not have a prayer of coming back. A "distant cousin" of Hollywood legend Ursula Andress, Kylie Andrus hit an inside bucket that improved the Awesome Cavewoman lead at 21-8 and gave Froggie fans a good reason to worry about how soon their team would be down by 20 points. 

Beeston hit an inside shot to set off  a 6-0 scoring run that opened a big comeback for the Froggies. Froggie Kaylie Bartholomew pumped two free throws and a jumper to cut the lead to 21-14. For a little while, Fatoto'a Faleao and Terra Tahbo kept Richardson and Moeaki from making offensive rebounds, even though American Fork did secure leads of 22-14 an 24-16 on shots from Shire "Skippy Hobbit" Stephenson and Moeaki. This allowed the Froggies to outscore American Fork 9-2 in the final three minutes of the half. After a Moeaki shot had put the lead at 24-16, Faleao produced a three-point play that tipped the momentum back to the Froggies' favor. Foul shots from T-Rod and Beeston shoved Lehi within 24-23 just before halftime. 

Froggie Kiera Pulham gave American Fork a brief score in the opening of the second half. After Andrus had put the lead at 26-23 in hopes of giving her Awesome Cavewomen much needed breathing space, Pulham hit a trying three-pointer.  Moeaki broke the 26-26 tie with a three-pointer, but Pulham cut the lead to 29-28. Shepherd came forward at that point to swish in shots that denied the Froggies a golden opportunities for leaping out in front. For example, after a Beeston set shot had cut American Fork's lead to 31-30, Shepherd produced a three-point play. Shots from Barholomoew and Tahbo put Lehi within 34-32 and 35-33. When a Moeaki shot put the score at 39-33, the Awesome Cavewomen started rowing away from the Froggies. A Paige Farnsworth trip to the foul line made certain of that. Farnsworth hit her first foul shot, but missed her second one. Rebounding it, Richardson soon produced a three-point play. Mikayla Nelson hit a three-pointer in hopes of tipping the momentum back to the Froggies' favor. However, However, Richardson and Shepherd led American Fork on a 7-0 scoring run that put the lead at 50-36. Tahbo trimmed it to 50-38 just before the third quarter break. 

In the early fourth quarter, Faleao and T-Rod guided the Froggies within 50-42. Producing a rare four-point play, Shepherd went on a shooting spree that kept American Fork more than 10 points ahead for the rest of the game. Lehi couldn't shut her down. Nearly every fourth-quarter shot fired by her sunk through the hoop. Meanwhile, American Fork lost Richardson to fouls. However, through their rebounding and shooting, Shepherd and Moeaki made certain that Richardson's departure from the floor didn't hurt American Fork much. Beeston's shooting, of course, prevented the Awesome Cavewomen from pulling more than 20 points ahead. That was not much consolation for Lehi, though. The Froggies still had to deal with having their regular season end with a loss to a younger team.

Shepherd led American Fork with 22 points while Moeaki added another 19 and Richardson 15. Beeston led the Froggies with 18 points while Bartholomew added another 10.

Westlake Shockers Blaze Past Lehi Froggies 51-49 in Girls' Basketball Feb. 11

Despite having been recently vexed with a hip injury, a Westlake player popped in two treys that enabled the Thunder, AKA the Shockers, to blaze past the Lehi Pioneers, AKA the Froggies, 50-45 in a Region Four girls' basketball game at Lehi Feb. 11.

Westlake Coach Ashlee "Crawdad" McKray said, "Macie Peterson has had recent problems with a hip injury. So it was absolutely fantastic that she nailed a couple of threes and pulled down some rebounds clutched the game for us."

With memories of having lost to the Shockers in an overtime game at Westlake last month, the Froggies  played quite aggressively against their arch rivals in the Feb. 11 rematch. With Westlake having tipped the ball out of bounds at the start of the game, Froggie Kylie Bartholomew hit an inside bucket to set off the night's scoring. Mackenzie "Spuds" Meyers hit two shots to even the game at two, and teammate Taysia "Lady Action" Jackson put a shot back in to put the Shockers ahead 4-2.

Westlake's first lead didn't last for long. After Froggie Faitoto's Faleao swished in a foul shot, Beth Beeston stole the ball and passed to her for a go-ahead shot. Teammmate Tyra "T-Rod" Rodriguez pulled down an offensive rebound and popped in a shot to improve the Froggie lead at 7-4. Before Lehi could croak proudly about its lead, Brianna "Cream Of" Weber hit a trey that launched a 7-2 scoring run that gave the Shockers an 11-9 lead at the end of the first quarter.

With Shocker Katelynn "Smitty" Smith missing two foul shots at the start of the second quarter, T-Rod tied the game at 11 on a layup. Pulling down a defensive rebound, Faleao dribbled full-court to sink a go-ahead shot for the Froggies. Despite Taylor "Sharp" Thorne tying the game at 13, the Froggies quickly hopped back out in front on a T-Rod trey. Shots from Beeston and Bartholonew gave Lehi a lead as wide as 20-15. Spuds Meyer didn't them enjoy their domination of their home floor for long. She hit three straight buckets that tied the game at 21. Teammate Jennaka "The Jumpin' Dane" Christensen hit a short shot that sent the Shockers blazing with a 23-22 lead into the second half.

The second half opened with Mikayla "Dominoes" Nelson hitting a shot that tipped the Froggies ahead 24-23. The Froggies went on a 6-0 scoring run led by T-Rod and Bartholomew. No sooner had the Froggies improved their lead at 28-23 when Westlake made an electrifying comeback powered by Amie "Bolts" Cocrhane's first bucket of the night. Lexy Granthem hit a foul shot in hopes of prodding the Froggies to leap far ahead after Meyers had put the Shockers within 28-27. Two Smith foul shots evened the game at 29. Bartholomew broke the 29-29 tie through sinking a layup on a steal. That shot couldn't keep the Shockers at bay.

Cochran soon went to the line for two free throws. She sank her first foul shot, but missed the second one. Jackson rebounded it and hit a go-ahead shot for her Shockers. Smith soon pulled down a defensive rebound and passed to Meyer for a short successful shot seconds before the third quarter break.

In final quarter, Crawdad McKray sent Peterson into action to see what that Shocker could do in spite of problems of the recent hip injury. Peterson proved that an injury couldn't prevent her from producing pivotal plays. Meanwhile, Beeston had moved the Froggies within 34-33. After Spuds Meyer had stretched the Shocker lead at 36-32, T-Rod fouled out. As bad as T-Rod's departure from the game as for the Froggies, it was nothing compared to what the damage that Petersen did to them. She hit two foul shots and then pulled down some key rebounds. Her first trey put the lead at 41-37. A Beeston three-pointer gave the Froggies a fresh chance at jumping back out in front. However, Peterson hit a second trey that unleashed an 8-0 scoring run that proved to be fatal to Lehi. By the time Granthem had swished in a short short, the Shockers had already built up a 49-40 lead.

Terra Tahbo scored on a steal that stirred up a 9-1 scoring spurt for the Froggies. Lehi got within 51-49. Suddenly the final buzzer sounded. 

Bartholomew led the Froggies with 14 points while Beeston added another 10 and Faleao nine. Spuds Meyer led the Shockers within 19 points while Peterson added another nine.

Herriman Pretty Ponies Gallop Past Lehi Froggies 69-64 In Riveting -- Correction, Ribbiting Hoop Thriller on Valentines Day

In a riveting -- correction, ribbiting Region Four boys' basketball thriller at Lehi Feb. 14, the Herriman Mustangs, AKA the Pretty Ponies, galloped past the Lehi Pioneers, AKA the Froggies, 69-64.

For a little while, it looked as though the Pretty Ponies would dry up Lehi in a hurry. Taking a pass from Smart Alec Johnson, Jake "Button" Sutton swished in the opening bucket. Sutton and Johnson quickly went on to create a 6-0 lead for the Pretty Ponies. However, the Froggies quickly leaped back. Prodded on a three-point play produced by Marcus Draney, a "distant cousin" of my former junior schoolmate Casey Draney, Lehi snatched the momentum quicker than you could say Ali Lamb Chop. Stealing the ball, Alex "Pitbull" Pittard passed to Jake "Purple Snake" Barnes for a layup. Derik Beeston swished in a three-pointer that put the Froggies ahead 8-6. Sutton tied the game at eight, but before his Pretty Ponies could gallop ahead, they saw Barnes hit a three-point shot that tipped Lehi back out in front 11-8. The Foggies then went on a 7-4 scoring run that gave them a 18-12 lead by the  end of the first quarter.

In the second quarter, the Pretty Ponies relied on Sutton and Johnson as their main big guns. Those two Pretty Ponies put Herriman within 20-17. With Pittard sinking a trey, Tanner Nygren stole the ball and sank a layup that widened Lehi's lead to 27-17. A "distant cousin" of All in the Family character Lionel Jefferson, Tyus "Up" Jefferson stepped forward to pull down some key defensive boards and sink two shots to keep the Pretty Ponies in the game. Johnson and Groovy Dave Maynard prevented the Froggies from securing another 10-point lead, even though Nygren did improve the Froggies' advantage at 29-21. Jefferson and Johnson guided their team within 29-25. Besides holding his own against Johnson and Johnson on the boards, Gavin Rasmussen hit two close shots to put Lehi's lead at 33-29 just before halftime.

With the third quarter opening on a Beeston three-pointer, the Froggies anticipated that they would leap  out to another 10-point lead. However, Jefferson, Johnson, and Maynard ruined Lehi's effort. After Maynard had pulled down a big defensive rebound, Johnson sank two foul shots and a field goal that slashed the Froggie lead to 36-35. Sudden Devin "Mr. Heaven" Wilkins hit a jumper that lifted the Pretty Ponies ahead 37-36. More trades of the lead followed. Two straight Nygren buckets created a 47-43 lead. Through rebounding and sinking inside shots, Maynard worked hard to keep the Froggies from pulling more than 10 points ahead. However, the Froggies kept their flippers on the lead tightly. Aided by a Barnes trey and a Rasmussen defensive rebound, Draney produced a three-point play that left the Froggies owning a 55-47 lead at the end of the third quarter.

In the earlly foureth quarter, Johnson fed a pass to Stockon "Stock" Enger for a bucket that unleashed a 12-4 scoring for scoring run. During it, Lehi Coach Bobby Barnes got hit with a technical foul, which allowed Maynard to score two free points. When Skylar "Mutt" Mutersspaugh tied the game at 57, Lehi's chances for victory became questionable. They became more doubtful as Johnson put his Pretty Ponies ahead 59-57 on two foul shots. Nygren sank two free throws of his own to tie the game at 59. Lehi did not pull back out in front again until a Barnes foul shot broke a 61-61 deadlock. More trades in the lead followed. When a Maynard bucket gave the Pretty Ponies a 65-64 lead at 1:16, they didn't look back. Jake "Gold Snake" Jensen scored on an offensive rebound of a Jefferson foul shot to tighten the Pretty Ponies' hold on the lead, and two Jefferson foul shots clutched the game for them.

Nygren led the Froggies with 17 points while Draney added another 15 and Barnes 12. Johnson led the Ponies with 19 points while Maynard added another 15.

Awesome AF Cavemen Dry Up Lehi Froggies in Jan. 28 Boys' Hoop Contest

By Dean Von Memmott

Timp Sports Weekly Publisher

The Awesome American Fork Cavemen stroke into Lehi Jan. 28 and soaked up a 78-58 win over the Lehi Pioneers, AKA the Froggies, in Region Four boys' basketball play.

The game went down as one of the Froggies' worst nightmares in recent memory.  Ty "Rawhide" Rawson, Ryan Andrus, and Brenden Bailey guided the Awesome Cavemen out to a swift 8-0 lead. Froggie Jake Barnes hit a three-pointer in hopes of jolting his Webfooters into leaping back into the game. However, after Lehi's Tanner Nygren had cut the Awesome Caveman lead to 12-5, American Fork held the Froggies scoreless through the rest of the quarter.

While much fuss had been written about Andrus, a "distant cousin" of former Bond girl Ursula Andress, getting ready to play basketball for BYU, founded by Brighan Young to glorify the University of Utah, Spencer Johnson became American Fork's biggest gun in the game. He dominated in both rebounding and scoring. Lehi's tall guys like Gavin Rasmussen and Marcus Draney couldn't keep him from pulling down rebounds that the Awesome Cavemen soon turned into buckets.

Johnson's performance, especially in the second quarter, enabled the Awesome Cavemen to build a 40-14 lead in the first half. A "distant cousin" of comic strip character Beetle Bailey, Brendan Bailey hit three treys in through the course of the game to help the Awesome Cavemen drain Lehi of any hope of stroking back into the game. With Rawson and Andrus helping Johnson control the boards, it was hardly any wonder that the Froggies got held to five points in Quarter 2

Lehi fared better in the third quarter. Guided by Nygren, Barnes, Alex Pittard and Marcus Draney, the Froggies outscored my Awesome Cavemen 20-19 that period. The rally occurred after Andrus and Johnson had stretched American Fork's lead to 46-14. Treys from Barnes and Pittard allowed the Froggies to leap back within 59-34.

In the early fourth quarter, Derik Beeston, Nygren and Landon Cuff, a close relation of Richfield Kitty Cat basketball legend Ryan Cuff, guided the Froggies back within 65-49. Andrus hit two straight buckets and the Awesome Cavemen stayed more than 20 points ahead for the rest of the game.

Johnson led American Fork with 20 points while Andrus added another 18 and Bailey 17. Barnes and Nygren each scored 10 points to become the Froggies' top scorers for the night.

For the first few minutes of the first quarter, the game went down as a seesaw fight. Ferocious Viking Lilly Evans scored the game's first bucket. Shots from Froggies Terra Tahbo and Kylie Bartholomew tied the score at two and four. Finally, a Tahbo bucket tipped the Froggies ahead 6-4. Even though an Amelia Fullmer bucket tied the game at six, the momentum still swung to the Froggies' favor. A Bartholomew trey sparked a 7-0 scoring spree that left Lehi ahead 13-6 at the end of the first period.

After ending the opening period by sinking a layup on a Bartholomew assist, Faitoto'a Faleao paced the Froggies in fights rebounds during the second quarter. Tyra "T-Rod" Rodriguez, Beth Beeston,  and Tahbo joined Faleao in keeping the Ferocious Vikings from getting second shots in Period 2. Still the Ferocious Vikings proved to be hard to be kept at bay. Mekenna Miles, for example, paced her Ferocious Vikings within 16-14 on two foul shots and a three-pointer.

Beeston, Tahbo, and T-Rod pooled their scoring efforts together to unleash an 8-2 run that put the Froggies ahead 24-16. Before Lehi could create a double-digit lead, Savannah "Smiles" Weidauer hit an inside shot that opened an 8-0 scoring run for the Ferocious Vikings. Aided by a trey and free throw sunk by Kadryn "Air Raid" Jones, Fullmer tied the game at 24 shortly before halftime. Froggie Hadlee Labrum hit a tie-breaking trey for Lehi. Fullmer answered that three-pointer with a foul shot that clipped the lead to 27-25.

The third period unfolded with Beeston producing a three-point play for Lehi. It went on a 7-2 scoring run led by T-Rod and Mikayla Nelson. A "distant cousin" of Vanity Fair character Becky Sharp, Alexus Sharp hit an inside shot to revive the Ferocious Viking cause. Still, despite three straight Evans free throws, the Froggies managed to post a 39-31 lead through shots from T-Rod and Tahbo. Sharp hit two straight unanswered, inside shots that sparked another big comeback for Pleasant Grove. Bartholomew hit a three-pointer while Beeston contributed two charity shots in hopes of keeping the Froggies ahead at the end of the quarter. However, the Ferocious Vikings outscored the Froggies 11-5 in the period's final three minutes. Just before Quarter 3 end, Fullmer sank a jump shot that tied the game at 44.

In the fourth quarter, a Faleao free throw snipped the 44-44 tie and opened a 7-0 scoring run for the Froggies. During that rally, Bartholomew pulled down a defensive rebound and dribbled to the eastern end of the court for a layup. T-Rod made an assist to Tahbo for a bucket, and then swished in two foul shots that improved Lehi's lead at 51-44.

Weidhauer hit a jumper that opened another scoring run for the Ferocious Vikings. They rowed witthin 56-50 on shots from Jones and Evans. Lehi's defense slowed Pleasant Grove down long enough to rob the Ferocious Vikings of much precious time. Pleasant Grove couldn't get any closer than 57-52.

Bartholomew led the Froggies with 16 points while T-Rod, Beeston, and Tahbo each chipped in another 10. Fullmer led the Ferocious Vikings with 12 points while Evans and Miles each tossed in another nine.

Riverton Silverpups Prove To Be Too Sly For Lehi Froggies In OT Boys' Hoop Game Feb. 7
By Dean Von Memmott
Timp Sports Weekly Publisher

AKA the Silverpups, the Riverton Silverwolves demonstrated in an overtime thriller at Lehi Feb. 7 that they were too sly for the Lehi Pioneers, AKA the Froggies. The Silverpups howled past the Froggies 62-57 in the Region Four boys' basketball thriller.

One of the reasons that the Silverpups proved to be so savvy in the game was senior Brandon "Wise Guy" Sly. He showed a lot of court smarts as he held up well under the immense pressure of the game, especially when it slipped into overtime. Getting the opening tip, Wise Guy Sly nailed an inside shot that put the Silverpups on board first. Riverton's first lead quickly disappeared. Froggie Derik Beeston tied the game at two, and teammate Tanner Nygren gave Lehi a 4-2 lead. Treys from Sly and Jaron "BoJo" Jones shoved the Silverpups out in front 8-4. However, the Froggies held them scoreless for the rest of the first quarter. Stealing the ball midway through that period, Alex Pittard passed it to Jake Barnes for a trey that opened a 7-0 scoring run for the Froggies. Just before the period ended, Marcus Draney, a "distant cousin" of my former junior high schoolmate Casey Draney, produced a three-point play that put the Froggies ahead 11-8.

The Silverpups became hot in scoring again during the second period. Led by Anderson "Suspenders" Spencer and Connor "Mr. Howler" Henderson, the Silverpups outscored the Froggies 7-2 to take a 15-13 lead. Before the Silverpups could howl farther ahead of the Froggies, Nygren and Barnes led Lehi on a shooting spree. Nygren tied the game at 15, and a Gavin Rasmussem foul shot the Froggies out in front 16-15. Spencer nailed two straight buckets in hopes of stirring up a Silverpup scoring run. However, two straight Barnes treys paved the way for Lehi to build up a seven-point lead. Pulling down a defense rebound, Nygren sank a layup which put the Froggie lead at 26-19. Before the Froggies could leap farther ahead, Sly swished two buckets that cut the lead to 26-23. A nephew of former Awesome American Fork Cavewoman basketball legend Rhonda Cook, currently principal of Lone Peak High, AKA Loner High, Jake "Big Pup" McCleary stole the ball and got fouled while missing a layup. McCleary made up for the missed shot by swishing in a free throw that sliced the lead to 26-24. A Nygren answered it with a layup that he hoped would give the Froggies sufficient breathing room just before half. However, the half ended with Jones sinking a layup.

In the early third quarter, Jones scored on an offensive rebound and tossed in a foul shot that unleashed another 7-0 scoring run for the Silverpups. After Jeff "Wolfie" Evans had hit an inside shot, McCleary stole the ball and sank a go-ahead layup. With Riverton now leading 33-28, the Froggies ended up having to spend the rest of regulation play in trying to catch up. Rasmuussen and Barnes combined their scoring efforts together to pace the Froggies back within 35-34.  Before they could leap back out in front, Sly went on a crime wave to score two straight buckets on steals. Nygren cut the Silverpup lead to 39-36, but Arens pulled down a defensive rebound and fed a full-court pass to Jones for a last-second bucket.

After a Jones bucket at improved the Silverpup lead at 43-36 in the early fourth quarter, Barnes became a big threat to the Silverpups. Aided by Draney, Pittard, and Rasmussen's boarding, Barnes guided the Froggies within 45-43. A Sly three-point play prevented Lehi from tying the game at that point. Sly's shooting enabled the Silverpups to stay narrowly ahead until the final minute of regulation play. At 0:10, Nygren hit two foul shots that tied the game at 50, tipping the game into overtime.

In the OT portion of the game, Sly quickly created a 54-50 lead for the Silverpups. Nygren produced a three-point play that soon enabled Beeston to hit a tying three-pointer after Jones had scored on a rebound of a long Sly shot. Jones broke the 56-56 tie. Still, a Nygren foul shot gave Lehi hope of pulling out an overtime win. After Nygen missed a key second foul shot, Sly swished in two free throws of his own that propelled the Silverpups into finishing the game with a 62-57 lead.

Nygren led the Froggies with 20 points while Barnes added another 19. Wise Guy Sly led the Silverpups with 23 points while BoJo Jones added another 19.
