Spring Mountain breezes past Lund

The winner of next week's Indian Springs-Spring Mountain game likely will have the inside track for a spot in the Class 1A Southern League football playoffs.

While Indian Springs (1-1) was off Friday, Spring Mountain (2-1) stayed sharp and confident while playing only half a game.

The Eagles breezed to a 32-0 win over visiting Lund, which asked to end the game at halftime because it had only six healthy players after starting the game with eight.

"We've been getting ready for that game ever since training camp," Eagles quarterback Robby Lindbloom said of Spring Mountain's home date against Indian Springs next Friday. "It's going to be a big deal for us."

Lund (0-2) began the season with 13 players and lost two to injuries in a 68-0 loss at Henderson International on Aug. 28.

Three other Mustangs missed Friday's game due to other commitments, because the school initially thought the game was on another date, coach Geoff Bryan said.

The coaches agreed prior to kickoff to use a running clock for the duration. Only 33 plays were run from scrimmage.

James Maestas scored on an 18-yard run and a 65-yard punt return during Spring Mountain's 24-point first quarter.

• Moapa Valley 43, Enterprise (Utah) 14 -- At Overton, Matt Newton rushed for 146 yards and scored four touchdowns to lead the Pirates past Enterprise (2-2) for their first win.
