Timpview 2018 Offensive and Defensive Stats
PROVO — Timpview is a program used to a lot of success and Andy Stokes' first season as head coach saw good success, although not to the degree the program has become accustomed to over the years. That said, Stokes appeared to revive the program his first season and looks for even more improvement this coming year.
Armed with a defense that includes a lot of talent and returning experience coupled with an offense that has some holes to fill, Stokes is hoping for the best.
“We’re young, but kids are working hard,” Stokes said. “We’re sort of in that building process this year, but we have some good, talented kids that are working hard out there every day."
Timpview Thunderbirds at a glance
Coach: Andy Stokes is in his second year at Timpview after coaching three seasons at Dixie. He went 27-9 for the Flyers.
Stokes on the new UHSAA RPI:
“I actually really like it. No matter where you are now that you get a chance, no matter how much tougher your region is than the others. I think it’s a fair system for all involved and it’s going to encourage teams to play stronger teams in nonregion play.”

Stokes' comments on Elijah Allen:
“He started a game for us last year against American Fork. He’s won the competition to start, and he’s a smart, scrappy kid with a lot of attitude. He’s going to compete.”
Stokes' comments on his running backs:
“Targhee is pretty special and so is Sione Moa. Sione played quarterback for us at the end of last year, and we feel the both of them will not be a bad combo. We’re definitely excited for what’s returning there.”
Stokes' comments on his receivers:
“We have three guys who will rotate in the two outside spots and we feel we’ll have a real good rotation of receivers there.”
Keys to 2019 offensive success: It's all on the offensive line coming together and the quarterback play. The running back position looks extremely strong, and the receivers should make for good production downfield.

Puna Alatini (DL)
Vave Adolpho (DB)
Ammon Key (DB)
Stokes' comments on his defensive line:
“We have a real experienced defensive line coming back over there. Those guys should continue to improve and really lead the defense. We’ll be able to rotate some guys along the interior, so that will be real good for us.”
Stokes on his defensive backfield:
“Our defensive backfield looks real strong with Logan Pili and Raider Damuni both returning, and then Ammon Key is another key we think will be real good for us. So we like that position and think we’ll be strong there.”
Stokes on his defense overall:
“Defense is in a strong position. There’s progress to be made, but defense should be a strong side of the ball for us. We’ll rely heavily on what the defense can do this year and hopefully they can take some pressure off the offense.”
Key for defensive success in 2019: Timpview looks stacked on defense with the only question mark appearing to be along the defensive front. But enough promising parts at defensive line should suffice and make for one of 5A's top defensive units.

Bottom line
Timpview has taken a bit of a dip in overall play over the past two years, but appears to be back on the way up in Stokes' second season. Talent isn't a question for the T-birds, but overall inexperience is entering the 2019 season.
