(Fillmore, Utah) Clancy Mortensen had 101 yards on nine carries and two touchdowns and also snared a 51-yard scoring pass as the Millard Eagles decimated the Manti Templars, 35-7 Friday evening. The Templars drew first blood as they took advantage of a Millard onside kick attempt which the Eagles touched illegally when David Hugentobler scored from six yards out in the first quarter. However, by the end of the quarter, Millard had drew within 7-6 after Mortensen’s first score. From that point on, the Templars offense struggled mightily as they just amassed 162 yards overall on the night. As for the Eagles, they were just getting started as consistently throughout the ballgame, they moved the ball at will on Manti gaining 380 yards overall, while QB Grant Barber completed five of eight passes for 159 yards and two scores. When Barber hit tailback Zack Wilcox on a 68-yard scoring strike, the Eagles had built an insurmountable lead at 28-7, while a 45-yard touchdown scamper by Mortensen finished off the carnage. Both of these teams head into region wars next Friday as the Templars travel to Coalville, Utah to take on the stout North Summit Braves, while Millard will go to Blanding, Utah to battle San Juan’s Broncos next week.

(WASHINGTON D.C.) – The U.S. Senate voted 92-1 yesterday (Thursday) to approve funds for military projects across the country including $40-million for Utah. The bill includes $9.2-million for a new facility at Hill Air Force Base. The 26,000-square foot building will support administration, training, storage, backup power supply and three equipment bays for the 388th Fighter Wing Munitions Flight at the base. Sen. Bob Bennett was instrumental in getting the bill passed saying that the facilities at Hill need to be up to par in supporting the men and women in uniform. Other projects include over $32-million for an aircraft power systems repair facility, hydraulic flight control facility and wing support facility for the Air Force Reserve and a Readiness Center for the Army National Guard. The bill now goes to conference committees to reconcile differences for both the Senate and House versions of the bill and then on to the President for his signature.
