A new wrinkle we added this year, the preseason all-area team wasn't very easy to put together. But I'm sure these guys will make me look somewhat smart.

Senior running back Davion Fleming gets the Highlanders back in business, breaking a 53-yard run up the middle to the Cougars 4-yard line. He was caught there, but finished it off with a 4-yard TD run off right tackle on the very next play. With Jake Van Ginkel's extra point, Upland is now down 14-7 with 1:23 left in the first.

And in other news, John Murphy's computer finally stopped beeping. The rest of the press box is thankful for that.
