Bulldogs edge Lyman for first conference win ‘
BY DAVID PECK
For the rebuilding
Lovell Bulldogs, part of
the process is learning to
win again, and they took
a big step in that direction
Friday night with a 14—12
homecoming victory over
the Lyman Eagles. .
“They missed some
assignments and some-
times lacked discipline, but
they are gritty,” coach Nicc
Crosby said. “It was a game
where, instead of find—
ing a way to lose, though it
wasn’t pretty, they found a
way to win.”
The two teams were
pretty evenly matched,
and in the end, the abil—
ity to kick a PAT and pre-
vent a two-point conver-
sion made the difference
for the Bulldogs.
“Our defense and spe-
cial teams, with one ex-
ception, did a great ’0b of
he ping us et goo field
position, an a we were able
to take advantage of it,”
Crosby said. “we certainly
left some points out there
we need to learnto put on
the board.”
Crosby said one of
the Lyman coaches had
coached with Crosby at
Star Valley and knew the
Lovell offense, so the Ea-
le changed what they
ad been doing in the first
three games to- stop the
Lovell sweeps. .
“They ran a totally dif-
ferent scheme against us
than they’ve been run—
ning all year in how they
used their cornerbacks
to knife in and take away
our sweep game,” he said.
“They had their corners
flying up there to get pen-
etration and help keep us
from getting to the edge.
They were running a 5-3,
but their defense was more
like a 4-4 and they pressed
their corners up in certain
formations and have them
knife in.”
Lyman put points
on the scoreboard first,
thou h Lovell ‘ actually
struc pay dirt first on a
46-yard run by CJ Lindsay
that was called back on an
illegal-block—to-the—back
penalty.
“The frustrating
thing, from my perspec—
tive, is that we scored the
touchown and had all the
momentum in the world,

Lovell quarterback Cason James turns up field for some yardage during the
Bulldogs’ 14-12 homecoming win over
Lyman Friday at KPR Memorial Stadium. The Bulldogs travel to Big Piney
Friday to face the Punchers at 2 p.m.
and (the penalty) took the
wind out of our sails,” Cros-
by said. “The kids were so
excited.”
After the Lovell punt,
the Eagles drove 91 yards
in nine plays with Preston
Brewer dashing for 32 yards
on a run and quarterback
Carter Smith completing
passes of six and 23 yards
before going over the top
to a wide open Blake Palm-
er for a 23-yard touchdown
pass. The Bulldogs stuffed
the two—point conversion,
leaving Lyman on top 6-0
with 4:13 remaining in the
first quarter.
It would be the only
long drive of the game for
Lyman as the Bulldogs
stiffened on defense.
“We took some bad
angles and didn’t tack-
le well (on the long run),
and the touchdown was a
busted coverage,” Crosby
said. “Once we fixed some
things it was tough sled-
ding for them.”
The Bulldogs drove to
the Lyman 1~yard line in the
second quarter before giv-
oss gammy «11 1
ing the ball up on downs,
leaving Lyman deep in
their own end of the field,
then swarmed in to block
the ensuing punt with ju—
nior Aaron Jones getting
his hand on the ball.
Given the ball at the Ly—
man 2, the Bulldogs scored
in one play as Hunter Har—
ris powered up the middle
for the score. Aden Mayes
booted the PAT, and Lovell
led 7-6 with 5:49 left in the
first half.
The Lovell defense
pushed the Eagles back—
wards on the ensuing pos-
session, but the Bulldogs
fumbled a punt return, al—
lowing Lyman to retain
possession of the ball. The
Eagles drove to the Lovell
27, but on‘third‘an’d riin’e
a pass to Palmer ‘near the
goal line was broken up in
the nick of time by Mayes
from his safet position.

Although a Cason
James pass was tipped and
intercepted on Lovell’s first
offensive play of the second
half, the Bulldogs gradually
gained a field position ad—
vantage. Mayes, leapt high
to snare a high snap from
center on a punt, and Ly—
man fumbled his line drive
kick. Lindsay burst for 19
yards to the Lyman 13, but
the Bulldogs eventually
gave the ball over on downs
at the 5. Lovell forced a
Lyman punt when Coy
Trainor and Hunter Harris
converged on Lyman quar-
terback Smith on second

'fourth quarter.
Lyman drove the ball
from the 9 to the 33 on
the ensuing drive, but Ty-
ler Nichols sacked Smith
to force a punt. Lovell
couldn’t move and had to
punt, but Mayes shanked
the kick and it carried
just two yards. In busi-
ness at the Lovell 32, Ly—
man scored in seven plays,
with Lamoreaux slipping
tackles from three yards
out to reach the end zone.
Forced to go for two, Ly-
man passed to the ri ht,
but the aerial was bro en
up by Bishop Trainor and
others, leaving the Ea%le
two points down with 1: 4
to play.
, '. ' Bishop also snared the
anticipated ’ onsid'e“ kick,
preserving the win for the
Bulldogs. .
“That’s where it’s nice
to have a kicker (for PATs,
Mayes),” Crosby said.
“They had to convert two-
point conversions, and that
Was the difference in the
game. We kicked two ex-
tra points, and they didn’t
some:

’ .S’vmmelfitaétiflf
convert two two—point
conversions.”
“Bishop came in and
played well. He was in good
position.”
Lovell out-rushed Ly-
man 148—104, but the Ea-
gles won the air battle 87—
16. Lindsay carried the ball
17 times for 91 yards. James
added 37 yards on 12 car-
ries, Harris 17 yards on sev-
en attempts, and Nichols 3
yards on one carry. Lam-
oreaux led Lyman with 86
yards on 21 carries.
Smith completed sev—
en of 13 passes for Lyman
for 87 yards with Palm-
er catching five passes for
75 yards. James complet-
ed five of eight passes for
16 yards as Thomas Hinck—
ley caught two passes for
20 yards.
The win improved the
Bulldogs to 3-1 on the sea-
son and evened their con—
ference record at 1—1. Ly-
man fell to 2—2, 2—1 in the
2A West.
TRIP TO BIG PINEY
The Bulldogs will take
to the road early Friday
morning to journey to Big
Piney to face the Punch—
ers, who, like Lyman, are
3-1 overall and 2—1 in the
conference after beating
1A Shoshoni 47—0, falling to
Mountain View 52-6 and
beating Greybull 27—14 and
Kemmerer 47-7.
“The three of us (Lovell,
Lyman and Big Piney) are
pretty even,” Crosby said.
“I feel if we can find a way
to clean stuff up we can get
Big Piney, but I also think
they can exploit us if we
don’t do the right stuff.”
Crosby said the
Punchers employ a wide
open spread offense that
sees rangy quarterback
Kaden Raza throw the ball
frequently.
“He’s fairly elusive, so
our pressure needs to fo-
cus on containing and
staying in rushing lanes,”
Crosby said. “He’s a big,
powerful guy like Cason.”
Crosby said theaBu'lle
dogs will have to leave
at 5:30 a.m. for the 2 p.m.
kickoff in Big Piney.
“We’ve got to get off
the bus and get to work,” he
said. “They’re a' good squad
and have several athletes
in their spread system that
can hurt you. We’ve gOt to
be assignment sound.” ‘ ‘
