A HIGH FIVE FOR OLSON QUARTERBACK SETS A SCHOOL RECORD FOR TD PASSES T.O. 45, ROYAL 14.Byline: Chris Cocoles Staff Writer SIMI SIMI Sea Ice Mechanics Initiative SIMI Search for Intelligent Monkeys on the Internet SIMI Students Islamic Movement in India SIMI Society of Irish Motor Industry SIMI Smallholder Irrigation Markets Initiative VALLEY- Ben Olson's left and James Cox's right arms rarely missed in the first quarter Friday night.

It helps to have Olson throwing touchdown passes with little resistance. Mulling over scholarship offers from finalists Brigham Young, Stanford and UCLA UCLA University of California at Los Angeles UCLA University Center for Learning Assistance (Illinois State University) UCLA University of Carrollton, TX and Lower Addison, TX , Olson was 20 of 26 for 342 yards and the aforementioned five touchdown passes before exiting after three quarters. ``It felt good out there. It was one of my better games. (The offensive line) gave me time to throw to those receivers,'' Olson said. ``Everyone had fun playing.'' Last year, Olson depended on Dave Anderson Dave Anderson might refer to:
``Dave had an incredible year last year, but he was like a one-man show,'' Mazza said. ``With me and Kevin catching balls, it takes the pressure off. Dave's kind of sacrificing some of his glory for the team's success.'' Olson's first-half accuracy was as precise as one can be against a quality opponent. The 6-foot-6 senior completed 16 of 21 attempts for 295 yards and four touchdowns to give the Lancers a 31-14 halftime lead. Early on, Cox matched Olson pass for pass and touchdown for touchdown. The Colorado recruit was brilliant on the Highlanders' first drive. He went 8 for 8 for 84 yards, capped by an 8-yard touchdown pass to Ryan Keys. Cox also connected with Greg Morris for an 80-yard touchdown to tie the game at 14. But he was wasn't as sharp in the second quarter (3 of 9 for 50 yards) after throwing for 163 in the first. ``We started out strong and we knew it was a big game,'' said Cox, who finished with 238 yards and two interceptions, the last returned 81 yards for a score by Anderson with one minute left in the third quarter. ``They were just the better team tonight.'' Morris, a valuable two-way starter for the seventh-ranked Highlanders, was hampered by a sprained right ankle.
