Timpview takes control of Region 8 with victory over Orem

..Timpview football coach Louis Wong saw something he didn't like Friday night as his team traveled to Orem to take on the Tigers.

He saw a lack of energy and discipline among his squad. Furthermore, he saw his team trailing 14-10 after three quarters of play.

That's when head coaching experience took over. That's when Wong and his staff notified their team it was time for a change.

And that's when the T'Birds responded with 19 fourth-quarter points en route to a 29-14 victory over the Tigers.
"I have to come up with a few motivational techniques," Wong said. "I brought them all together as a team [at the end of the third quarter], there was no excitement and you have to have that support."

Whatever Wong said, his team responded right from the final quarter get-go as a 34-yard pass from quarterback Jake Lloyd to Austin Fullmer capped an 80-yard scoring drive and gave the T'Birds a 16-14 lead.
Despit throwing for three touchdowns on the evening; Wong felt that Lloyd has more to give moving forward and less to give by way of turnovers-as the junior quarterback added three interceptions to his scoring passes, including a pick on the first play of the game.


"Not his best effort," Wong said of Lloyd's outing. "He's got a lot of work. He knows it and he's going to be a man about it."
After an Orem punt mid-way through the fourth quarter, the T'Birds capitalized on some timely Orem penalties and eventually found the scoreboard when Lloyd connected with Ricky Shumway for a 15-yard score.
The touchdown marked the second time Lloyd and Shumway connected for a score, with the first coming on an 8-yard strike on Timpview's second possession of the game.

The T'Birds failed a two-point conversion attempt following Shumway's second touchdwon and held a 22-14 lead with 5:49 remaining in the contest.
Orem marched down the field after four consecutive runs from Mike Mua and Taylor Camp proved positive, but Camp was sacked on Orem's next two plays forcing the Tigers into a fourth and long situation that was unsuccessful.

Wong seemed pleased with the defensive presence late in the game, but felt it could have reared its head earlier in the contest.
"Why do we have to wait for a crucial situation like that," Wong asked of the final two sacks on Camp. "Why can't we make that play all the time? We have the abilities."

The T'Birds defense held strong against the Tigers in multiple spots throughout the game and forced two Orem turnovers while also making one of Orem's strongest offensive threats, Cole Payne, a non-factor.


"We took away [Payne]," Wong said. "I don't think he caught too many balls tonight. That took him out of the equation."


Timpview's offense responded after the Orem turn over on downs as Jonathan Ghosoph rumbled in from 15-yards out for the final score of the game-giving Timpview the 29-14 advantage.


After a Timpview field goal gave the T'Birds a 10-0 second quarter lead, Orem's Camp found Quin Ringer for a 45-yard pass that brought the Tigers within three points.



The T'Birds turned the ball over on downs later in the third quarter and Orem responded after Kaleb Egbert pounded out four consecutive rushing plays for a total 44 yards before Camp eventually found Mua for a 10-yard touchdown that gave the Tigers the shortlived 14-10 lead.



Egbert carried the ball 16 times for 91 yards
