With the win, Mt. View improves to 6-1 while Summit falls to 4-3.

Jacob also picked off a Max Lindsay Summit pass for a 30-yard score in the first quarter.
The Sr. finished the evening 4 of 4 passing for 228-yards bringing his season total to 14-touchdowns, with only 1-interception.
“I was very pleased with our execution on both our offense and defense,” said 4th year Head Coach Steve Turner. “We had some big plays on offense and we really got after it on defense.”
Turner improved his career record at Mt. View to 33-7 overall, and 17-3 in IMC League Play.
The Cougar defense, which ranks 6th in the state in fewest points allowed, held the Storm scoreless until 7:18 to play in the 3rd quarter when sophomore tailback J.T. Evans reversed field, and outran everybody for a 87-yard TD run to make it 42-6.
Evans entered the game 7th in rushing yards in the 5A division, and has 13 TD runs in 2011. Last week, Bend blanked Summit 38-0, and the Lava Bears held Evans to just 3-yards on 7-carries, but the sophomore bounced back hard against the Cougs.

Sr. Dimitri Dillard racked up 58-yards on 6 carries, and a nifty 46-yard TD run (pictured above-courtesy Mike Roberts) behind the lead blocking of fullback Trevor Roberts.
