WASHINGTON TERRACE -- Turnovers crippled the Lakers at Thomas Budge Field on Friday night as the Sky View Bobcats escaped with a 21-17 win dropping Bonneville to 1-4 in Region 5 action.
Bonneville lost the ball five times and Sky View quarterback Nicholas Carver made them pay with 231 yards and three touchdowns on 19-of-29 passing.
"You can't turn the ball over five times against anybody," Bonneville coach Randy Johnson said. "It gives them the short field and when you give a team that many opportunities they're going to score."
Bonneville QB Morgan Unga struggled throwing the ball, completing 7-of-24 with a pair of interceptions but totaled 148 yards through the air and added another 43 on the ground.
The Lakers got on the board late in the first quarter as junior back Brock Kap broke through the line from a yard out.
Kap carried the ball just six times and netted 16 yards but scored again at the end of the third quarter to time the game at 14.
Colbie Bedford logged 105 yards on six carries for the Lakers including a 61-yard romp that set up Bonneville's first score.
Despite 10 penalties totaling 100 yards, Sky View's explosive air attack overpowered the helpless Bonneville secondary and among Carver's many targets junior receiver Mitchell Larson hauled in seven catches for 70 yards including a 25-yard TD reception to end the first half.
Senior back Alex Watts chipped in 97 yards for the Bobcats.
The Lakers will host Murray for their season finale on Wednesday.
