RIRIE - The West Side football team picked up its first win under first-year coach Tyson Moser, beating Ririe 22-0 on Friday.

Dallas Turnbow threw two touchdown passes, and West Side piled up 159 yards rushing on 45 carries in the victory.

"We really wanted to come out this week and establish our running game and move the ball," Moser said.

In the first quarter, the Pirates lost two offensive linemen to sprained ankles, and the offense couldn't get much established. Still, West Side went into half leading 6-0 on a 24-yard pass from Turnbow to Mitch Bowles.

After halftime, the Pirates adjusted with their new linemen and pulled away with a touchdown in each the third and fourth quarters.

West Side (1-1) will travel to Rich County (Utah) next week.

"If we can get our kids healthy," Moser said, "hopefully we can go down to Rich County and compete."
