OGDEN -- A new era of Ben Lomond football officially began Friday night with the Scots accomplishing something they hadn't done in two years -- win. The emotionally charged Scots scored two fourth-quarter touchdowns to come from behind to defeat the Union Cougars 14-6 in a thrilling season opener for both squads.

Both Ben Lomond scores came on fourth down Alex Craft to Malcom Shipman touchdown passes in the fourth quarter. The first from 14 yards out with 6:38 remaining that gave B.L. the lead, and the second, a 32 yarder with one minute left on the clock clinched the outcome.

PLEASANT VIEW -- Experience can sometimes be overrated. But that's exactly what the Weber Warriors are going to have to rely on if they expect to compete in arguably the toughest region in the state.

"I don't think competing will be a problem for us," said second-year coach Rick Corbridge. "I see our region as probably the toughest in the state, certainly at least one of the top two. We will definitely have our hands full each week, and there won't be an easy one on our schedule. But it will be nice to not jump into league play right away."

PLEASANT VIEW -- They say that scoreboards never lie, but that don't always tell the whole truth either. Case in point: Northridge's 41-13 shellacking of Weber High Friday night.

PLEASANT VIEW -- You can pick any number of reasons why Weber High waltzed its way to a convincing 43-0 homecoming victory over Roy High Friday night, and any one of them would be legitimate. But when it came right down to it, it was the performance of the Warriors offensive line, the down-and-dirty guys who rarely get the recognition they deserve, that made Friday night's victory a cake walk.

OGDEN -- Scheduling more games with the Helena Brewers isn't going to happen, but you can't blame the Ogden Raptors for wishing so.

PLEASANT VIEW -- After five years as an assistant at Weber High, Mark Larsen will moving over a seat on the sidelines as the new head coach of Warriors basketball. Larsen succeeds Chad Sims, who compiled an overall record of 43-66 during that span.
