Game Summary/Box Score
May 20, 2006 Utah Wolverines at Utah Heat @ Tooele High School

UTAH WOLVERINES 16 UTAH HEAT 0

TOOELE – The Utah Wolverines used an unknown third string quarterback and a dominating defense to shut out the Utah Heat for the second time this season, 16-0 in Tooele, Utah to keep their play-off hopes alive and put a speed bump in front of the Heat’s two-game winning streak.

TJ Stokes stepped in at quarterback, replacing Steve Wealty and Joey Collins and… and stepped UP, passing for 204 yards, completing 14 of 21 passes, including two touchdown passes to James Neslen to lead the Wolverines over the Utah Heat, who’s defense had been dominating of late.  Stokes, a wide receiver by trade, found fellow wide receiver Neslen, 7 times in all for 136 yards and the two big scoring plays.

It was not until only seconds remained in the half when Neslen caught the first touchdown, a 2-yard score with only 2 ticks remaining on the first half clock to give the Wolverines an 8-0 halftime edge.

In a hotly contested and well-fought game throughout, that score held up until near the end of the 4th quarter when Neslen caught a 23-yard touchdown from Stockes to seal the deal in what is becoming a good rivalry between the teams.

The Heat passing attack was completely stymied, as Heat quarterbacks, Reggie McLucas and Peseni McKoni were able to only complete 2 passes to Heat receivers… and 3 passes to Wolverine defensive backs, including 2 to Wolverine star linebacker, Matt Shoda, who also lead the team in tackles with 6 to lead the shutout charge for the green and silver. Heat running backs, Dannon Handcuff and Peaua Lapale, however, were able to achieve some moderate success on the ground, rushing for 83 and 75 yards respectively as the Heat offense struggled for continuity.
