The Portland State Vikings had
a bye last week and when they came
back in their last regular season
game against Southern Utah they
showed everyone that they came to
play.
In a 4 8 -16 rout the Viking dis
played an impressive air attack as
well as dominating the line o f scrim
mage defensively turning in 12
sacks.
P.S.U. quarterback Kyle Allen
after a shaky start, put on an air
show that delighted the stands o f
14 ,0 16 fans by completing I 9 o f3 2
passes for 335 yards and 4 touch
downs.
Reliable Matt James was the
recipient o f 3 o f those T.D. passes.
Mean while, the defense - led
by linebacker Jeff Bochert with 13
tackles and 2 sacks - gave Rick
Robins o f Southern Utah the blues.
P.S.U. ended the game with
5 05-137 in total yardage advantage
l imiting the Thunderbirds to 34 yards
rushing on 52 carries.
Despite 14 penalties for 119
yards and 5 turnovers. The Vikings
were able to dominate in their tune up
game for next weeks playoff.
The going was pretty even in the
first half with Southern keeping it
relatively close going into the half
2 0 -I0 P.S.U.
Southern was first to strike at the
beginning o f the game when they
drove the ball 55 yards to the Viking
15 and had to settle for a 25 yard field
goal.
P.S.U. answered with 2 :13 left
in the quarter when Allen connected
with James for a 78 yard T.D.
The Thunderbirds w ouldn’t roll
over at this point and on the first play
o f the second quarter Robins tossed
a 35 yard pass to Micah Deckert the
tight end for a touchdown.
That gave Southern Utah a tem
porary 10-7 lead. Portland was in the
midst ofnutting together another scor
ing drive when Holmes fumbled on
Southerns 34 yard line and it was
recovered by the Thunderbirds free
safety Derrick Yantis.
The Thunderbirds returned the
favor when substitiute long snapper
David Benedict (who usually plays
linebacker) snapped the ball along
the ground and punter Ron Lindberg
fumbled the ball. Two plays later
Allen found James for the 11 yard
touchdown.
That made the score 14-7.
With Bockert, linebacker Jas
on H efley and free safety Nei
Fendall making a series o f big de
fensive plays for the Viking. The
Thunderbirds offense slowly disin
tegrated.
By halftime, Robins had been
sacked seven times.

Wilson redeems the P.I.L. from
first round state playoff losses as
they were able to narrowly squeak by
the Hillsboro Spartan 26-24 at Civic
Stadium Saturday night
If not for point after conversion
heroic open field tackle by Nathan
Lundby the out come o f the game
would have been dramatically differ
ent.
Lundby tackle and fumble re
covery on a Hillsboro two point con
version try with 5:05 remaining saved
Wi Ison as they were able consequent
ly were able to run out the clock.
Wilson 10-0 was the first P.I.L.
win in the state playoff first round
since 1990. L ater on S atu rd ay
evening Franklin went on to win
against Tualitin 35-14.
“They were good but we were
better, (Hillsboro) they got a lot re
spect being in the metro with Glencoe
and them. But now its time to give us
respect, the way we played tonight“
said Wilson quarter back, Jermaine
Thompson.
Wilson drew first blood when
BLAZERS TIP-OFF “ STAY IN SCHOOL” CAMPAIGN
The National Basketball Asso
ciation declared Wednesday, Nov. 2,
1994, as a National Stay in School
Awareness Day, a league-wide effort
to draw attention to drop-out preven
tion. NBA players and coaches across
the country encouraged students to
focus on the three A 's for success in
school: attitu d e, attendance and
achievement, while also stressing the
importance o f pride and self-esteem.
Jim Paxon, Blazers special assis-
tant/scout, attended a special assem
bly at Harriet Tubman Middle School
in Portland accompanied by Blazers
community activities coordinator, Nick
Jones.
Between December and April,
Blazers team members plan to make
special visits to 10 middle schools in
the greater Portland/Vancouver area
as part of the NBA’s Stay in School
program. Middle schools in the great
er Portland/Vancouver area interest-
ed in holding a Stay in School assem
bly should submit their request in
writing to: Traci Rose, Team Liai
son, Portland Trail Blazers, 700 N.E.
Multnomah, Suite 600, Portland, OR

marked by Nov. 18. A drawing will
be held on Nov. 21 for a Blazers visit.

ing 59 yards and capitalizing on a I
yd run by David Jackson. For the
T.D.
Aaron Rudishauser a stalwart
running back all night ran for a 38
touchdown next and the point after
failed.
Thompson passed for two touch
downs 60 yards to Lindby and 31
yard to William Holloway but even
with 18 to 26 lead going into the
fourth quarter things were uncertain
for the Trojans.
Sam Bechtold and Joe Dierickx
made key stops in a Wilson goal line
stand. However minutes later Jalaam
Roberson Fumbled and Miller re
turned the ball tot he Wilson I yd.

Hilhi accumulated more yard
age the Wilson 332-315 in total yard
age however mistakes and bad breaks
hounded them all night.
Miller ran for 102 yards on 17
carries. The Trojans couldn’t quite
hold the Spartans ground game ex
cept when it counted, the Wilson
defense stepped up.
What hurt Hilhi the most is that
they were unable to capitalize and
convert on any o f its two point con
version attempts.

“ I 'm deeply appreciative ofthe OAB
for the honor they've bestowed on
