Talk about a gut-punch comeback, Woods Cross fans just witnessed something absolutely insane! Tage Ita punched in a game-winning 1-yard run with a mere 15 seconds left on the clock, sealing a 36-35 victory over Viewmont in a Region 6 thriller. This wasn’t just a late score, either, that touchdown capped off a ridiculous 16-point fourth quarter for the Wildcats. Absolutely bonkers!
Cardiac Kids and Fourth Quarter Fury
Man, if you blinked, you missed the end of that Woods Cross game. Tage Ita’s heroics with 15 seconds left were just unreal, but let’s not forget Sam Bahr, who delivered a pair of rushing scores earlier to keep the Wildcats in the fight. On the other side, Viewmont’s Cash Hawkins was doing everything he could with a long pass and an 89-yard rushing score. Brett Tovey even added a late 5-yard touchdown run for the Vikings, but it just wasn’t enough to stop the Woods Cross rally. That’s the kind of game that gives you whiplash.
Over in the 3A North, Logan (8-2) secured a 32-22 win against Morgan (8-2) in a clash that really got going in the second quarter. Royce Sargent snagged two touchdown passes from Easton Favero, one for 20 yards and another for three yards, both in that dominant second quarter. Ethan Carson even added a 44-yard interception return to cement their lead. Morgan tried to claw back with an Owen Gilson to George Thurston 38-yard connection in the third, but Easton Favero’s 64-yard touchdown run locked it down for Logan. What a game-changer!
Dominance and Unbeaten Dreams
While some games were nail-biters, others were straight-up statements. Herriman (7-2) just rolled over Cedar Valley (1-8) with a 57-19 Region 2 victory. Filisi Filipe was a beast, scoring three rushing touchdowns, including a 12-yard sprint early in the first. Bryson Sweeney was slinging it, too, throwing three touchdown passes overall, with Max Wilson and Britton Wall each grabbing one in the second quarter. The Mustangs’ defense put the clamps on, holding the Aviators scoreless in the third quarter while Herriman kept extending that lead. Cash Thacker fought hard for Cedar Valley, but it was Herriman’s night.
Then you have Mountain Ridge (10-0), who kept their perfect season alive with a 21-13 win over Westlake (7-3) in another Region 2 showdown. These guys scored all their points in the first half! Jaxon Hunt was on fire, hitting Marshall West for a 32-yard touchdown early, then finding Tyson Dunn for 12 yards and Xander Thayer for 33 yards in the second. Westlake tied it up briefly with a 30-yard run from Ashton Taylor and added a late touchdown, but they couldn’t close the gap on the undefeated Sentinels. Seriously impressive to be 10-0 this deep into the season.
Finally, Cedar City’s (5-5) offense exploded for a decisive 49-3 victory over Carbon (1-9) in 3A South. Braxton DeMille got things rolling with a 47-yard touchdown run super early in the game. Hunter Burgess had himself a night, catching three touchdown passes from Colt Kelling, including a 52-yard bomb, and even taking a 50-yard punt return to the house in the third quarter. Carbon could only manage a second-quarter field goal. This one ended under the mercy rule, that’s how much Cedar City dominated.
What a week of high school football. From insane comebacks to undefeated streaks, Week 10 delivered some serious action. You gotta love this sport!
