MARSH VALLEY – Utah Wolverine star wide receiver, Joe Mapson, proved to be too much for Home All-Star defensive backs to handle, as he collected 6 Jordan Peterson passed for 145 yards and 3 touchdowns to lead the “white jersey” squad to a 41-12 All-Star Classic victory; collecting the game MVP on the way.

In a relatively penalty-free game, the Visiting All-Stars proved to have too much offensive fire-power behind Mapson, the passing of Jordan Peterson (14-28-248-3) and the contributions of 8 different running backs, including newly crowned AA MVP, Anthony Pomerlee, who rushed for 32 yards on 5 carries and an offensive rushing score.

Boise Speed's Britt Hall (9) would come down with this grab over Madison's Matt Landon (24); however, it would be too little too late as the Home team could not muster enough offense to keep the game close.

In the first half, the breaks simply went the way of the Visitors, particularly as Mapson picked up the games first score with 38 seconds to go in the first quarter, when he turned a 5-yard hitch play into an electrifying 50-yard touchdown pass play, giving the Visitors the 7-0 lead. Mapson would get the next score, culminating the squad’s next drive on a 20-yard fade route, out-leaping (possibly pushing off), Idaho Falls’ Kody Spencer for a 14-0 Visitors lead. The usually reliable place kicker, Golden Whetman, working with a different snapper and holder, missed 3 field goals in the first half, keeping the home stars close at 14-0 at the intermission.

The Home squad kept the game close even through the 3^rd quarter when the Visitors added only one more score on a Brandon Carlisle 18-yard burst through the heart of the Home squads defense to put the Visitors ahead 21-0 going into the 4^th.

The collective wheels, however, came off for the Home team early and often in the 4^th quarter.

On the second play of the 4^th quarter, Snake River’s Travis Barfuss, got to the home squad quarterback, Adam Cunningham in his own end zone, also knocking the ball lose. Logan’s Dave Curtis, dove on the football for another Visitor touchdown and a 28-0 lead.

Shortly after that touchdown, Anthony Pomerlee would cap another Visitor drive with a 20-yard explosion around the right end and into the end zone as the Visitors pushed their lead out to 35-0. And with 3:24 to go in the game, Mapson caught his 3^rd touchdown pass, an incredible diving catch in the corner of the end zone and the Visitors lead 41-0 after a blocked extra point.

Joe Mapson (laying on end zone pylon) had just made a diving touchdown catch behind Utah Shock's, Chris Hooper (17) and seems to be relaxing in the knowledge of an easy victory and an ultimate MVP award.

Then, the game really got exciting.

The home team’s star defensive back, Nate Cone, would be involved in two exciting scoring plays to account for the final two touchdowns, both by the home squad.

No doubt after excessive imploring, Cone was inserted into the Home team backfield as a running back for a play. On the play, Cone took a pitch from quarterback Adam Cunningham, stopped and fired a 60-yard touchdown strike to Boise’s Britt Hall to get the Home squad on the board with 2:05 to go in the game.

On the Visitor’s next series, a backfield mix up between Peterson and Roger Shulze resulted in a lose ball. Ultimately, Nate Cone would end up with the ball, however, as he was being tackled, flipped the ball to oncoming teammate, Harold Ragin. Ragin, who had early won the “Fastest Man” race over, ironically, Britt Hall, was “off to the races”, taking toss 63-yards for another Home score.

The Visitors had pitched a shutout to that point with solid defense lead by Josh Slater of the Davis Vipers who lead all with 6 total tackles on the day. The Visiting squad would force 4 turnovers from the home, including the touchdown fumble recovery by Curtis and interceptions by each Doug Brannon (Uintah Basin), Nick Russell (Idaho) and Troy Sutton (Pocatello).
