Hawk Golf Tearing up the Greens

By Brad Bentley: (Price, Utah) The North Sanpete golf team is in the middle of their best season ever, and this past weeks competition hosted by the Carbon Dinos, did little to quell the confidence that new head coach, Tod Hansen, has in his team. The Hawks hackers finished third on a difficult Carbon course with a score of 343. As expected, the Carbon Dinos, this year’s Region 9 team to beat, bested the field on their home course by finishing with a 312 score. Delta just squeaked into the clubhouse with second place honors by shooting a team total of 342 strokes, just one shot better than North Sanpete. Just back of the rest of the field was the Juan Diego Soaring Eagle who posted a 348, and then Emery again brought up the rear with a 367. Topping the leader board once again for the Hawks was Fairview’s junior swinger, Trevyn Tucker. Since last year Tucker has led his squad around the links, and he is continuing his success this year. Trevyn shot 83 this round, and he was followed closely by senior Aaron Watts with an 85, Jeremy Garlick posted an 86, and Trent Childs finished in the team’s top four for the first time this year with an 89 score. Tucker is currently in the number two spot in the region with a 75 average, just behind Carbon’s Shayn Burke who is carrying a 74.5 average. Region standings show the Dinos in first place, leading the Delta Rabbits by 48 strokes. North Sanpete is just two strokes out of second place, and 50 away from first. Juan Diego is 16 strokes back while the Emery Spartans are in the caboose, 137 strokes away from the league leading Dinos. On Thursday the 6th, Hansen will take his team out to the windy fields of Delta to play on the Rabbits links, and if the Hawks can stay close after this match, look for North Sanpete to make a move into second place later in the season. The match will begin on the course just east and north of Delta, by the airport, at noon.

(RICHFIELD) – Richfield City officials have adopted an ordinance imposing a traffic impact fee in the area where a new traffic signal will be placed. UDOT has required the city to place the signal at the intersection of 1300 South and Technology Drive but the city does not have the funds to complete the project. The City Council held a public hearing on the matter last week with some residents voicing concern of the city imposing impact fees for residential areas as opposed to commercial areas. Councilmember, Larry Lunnen, said that impact fees should be the same for residential and commercial areas and that residential areas should receive no waivers or exceptions. The impact fee area would be from 1100 South to Cove View Road in Richfield to approximately 800 South and east to Technology Drive. In other city council action, officials approved a road dedication plat for a portion of the access street between the North and South Meadow subdivisions and discussed road improvements to south Hwy 118 near the industrial park which should start in the spring.
Utes Suffer Tough Loss in Opener

(Corvallis, Ore.) Yvenson Bernard amassed 164 yards on 29 carries and scored two touchdowns as the Oregon State Beavers defeated the Utah Utes, 24-7 Thursday evening at Reser Stadium in the season opener for both teams. Things looked promising for the Utes early on as quarterback Brian Johnson, fresh off a redshirt campaign in 2006, hit receiver Brent Casteel on a 36-yard touchdown pass which gave Utah a 7-0 lead early in the second quarter. However, on the Utes’ next possession, Johnson suffered a separated shoulder and reserve signal-caller Tommy Grady was unable to maintain any level of excellence. After Bernard’s first touchdown tied things up at 7-7 at intermission, the Beavers took the lead for good as QB Sean Canfield hit freshman receiver Darrell Catchings on a six-yard strike for a 14-7 lead. Oregon State was also stout defensively, as they surrendered just 202 yards of offense to a Utah squad traditionally known for its firepower.
