My final R-J story, for now
Unknown to me at the time of the article I was about to be hired as a full-time journalist for the Review-Journal's sister publication, the Las Vegas Business Press. Both papers are owned by the same parent company so I would not be able to string for the prep sports department without being paid my new salary. It was with a heavy heart I left behind my friends and experiences at the newspaper. Without my boss and friend prep sports editor Damon and the opportunities he allowed me to have I would not be where I am to today. So here is a article that was published on Saturday, Sept. 17, 2005.
Canyon Springs 19, Chaparral 18 -- At Canyon Springs, Michael Elliot scored on a 10-yard run and Andy Sadler kicked the extra point as the Pioneers (3-1, 1-0 Northeast) slipped past the Cowboys (0-4, 0-1) in two overtimes.
The game-winning extra point was the game's only successful conversion in six attempts. Canyon Springs missed one and had another blocked. Chaparral missed one and had two run conversions fail.
Elliot led the Pioneers with 109 yards on 18 carries, and Dennis Parker had touchdown runs of 1 yard in regulation, and 2 yards.
Austin Tialavea scored on a 1-yard run to cap a 14-play, 97-yard drive to give Chaparral a 6-0 lead 1:02 before halftime.
Parker's 1-yard run with 8:26 remaining in regulation tied the score.
Canyon Springs scored first in overtime on Parker's run, but Tialavea's second touchdown, a 4-yard run, sent the game to the second overtime.
Tialavea led the Cowboys with 65 yards on 14 carries.
Juan Ramirez caught a 10-yard pass from Alex Wooldridge on the first play of the second overtime, but Tialavea's conversion run over the left side was stopped a foot short.
Elliot then scored and Sadler kicked the game winner.
