A lightning storm forced the postponement of a Region 7 matchup between Timpview and Maple Mountain midway through the second quarter on a Friday night in Provo. The game, which was tied 7-7 at the time of the stoppage, resumed on Saturday afternoon and resulted in a 56-13 victory for Timpview.
After restarting at 4 p.m. Saturday, Maple Mountain scored a touchdown, but Timpview responded with seven unanswered touchdowns to secure the win. Timpview coach Travis Uale noted that the break allowed his team to reset following a shutout loss to Lone Peak the previous week.
Uale stated that he spoke to his players about focusing on their specific jobs rather than the potential for failure. He credited the offensive line for opening the run game and providing time for the passing attack to develop.
Key contributors for Timpview included TJ Tuha, who recorded three rushing touchdowns, and Matthew Manuma, who threw three touchdown passes. Manuma's scoring passes went to Dennis Tua’one, Lolua Moungaloa, and Steel Richards.
Maple Mountain's scoring came from a 32-yard touchdown by Uhila Wolfgramm on Friday night and a 1-yard run by Isreal Vaenuku on Saturday. Timpview recorded a second-half shutout.
Maple Mountain (2-4) is scheduled to host Springville next Friday, while Timpview is set to welcome Orem. The postponed game occurred during homecoming weekend for the Golden Eagles.
