High School Second Round Complete, Quarterfinal Previews
Plus, Recaps from East/Bountiful, Bingham/Lehi, Olympus/West Field, Highland/Canyon View
The Second Round of the UHSAA playoffs are now complete and we look ahead to the Quarterfinals on Saturday.
But first, if you have a few minutes, will you fill out the 2026 Utah Lacrosse Fandom Survey? It’s a great way for us to gauge a couple of metrics around the ULR brand and lacrosse fandom in general.
Now to the action on the field and a small note: If games below don’t have much written about them, it’s likely because stats for the game were not on MaxPreps at the time of publishing.

High School
Boys Second Round Recaps
Here’s a glance at the action from Thursday.
6A
No. 1 Corner Canyon defeated No. 16 Cedar Valley, 27-3.
Ashton Brown led the way for the Chargers who had 6 goals and 3 assists. Pierson DeGracie finished with 4 goals and 3 assists. Corner Canyon had 13 players score at least one goal. Tanner Adamson finished with 5 takeaways. Jace Weaver had 21 saves for the Aviators.
No. 2 Skyridge advanced to the Quarterfinals after beating No. 15 Copper Hills, 17-2.
No. 3 Farmington beat No. 14 American Fork, 16-5.
“We feel like the boys played great tonight,” said Farmington Head Coach Scott Beynon. “They looked like they were having fun! We have a tough game Saturday against Weber, who is playing great right now. They have a great group of kids and we are looking forward to playing them again.”
No. 4 Mountain Ridge defeated No. 13 Syracuse, 18-7.
The Sentinels were led by JT Rigby who had 6 goals and 7 assists. Gavin Gurr had 6 goals and 2 assists while Trace Hook had 5 goals. Mountain Ridge had a 4-2 lead after the first quarter then stomped on the gas and outscored the Titans 14-5 the rest of the game.
“It was a great game to start the playoffs,” said Mountain Ridge Head Coach Justin Rigby. “We played good defense, turning it into transition goals. Our attack led the way. Overall, the chemistry and attitude of this team has been special and we are excited to continue toward the next game playing together.”
No. 5 Bingham v. No. 12 Lehi - Recap by Cody Elmen
Bingham built a big lead in the first half and used that hot start to outlast the upset-minded Lehi Pioneers, 13-9. Bingham’s rides and ability to win loose balls allowed them to dominate time of possession, which led to Bingham leading 12-4 going into the fourth quarter. Lehi would battle back with a five-goal quarter before Bingham ran out the clock, advancing to the next round of the 6A Boys Lacrosse Championship.
Bingham’s offense came out swinging with a five-goal run to start the game. Krew Smith beat his defender out of the substitution box and found Parker Young wide open on the crease to open the scoring. Luke Whitney fired from distance against Lehi’s zone defense to extend the Miners’ lead. Lehi tried to answer back with their own ten-man ride, but a quick restart after a missed shot from midfield left Champ Carlson open in the middle, making it 3-0 Bingham. Bingham’s ride stifled the Pioneers, and Stratton Anderson capitalized, causing a turnover and firing a perfect no-look pass to Ethan Alldredge on the crease, who easily scored what was likely the play of the day. Young doubled his total for the day, bouncing off multiple defenders, and scored to cap the Miners’ run. Lehi remained undeterred despite the early deficit, as Colton Kenison found Reed Neilsen on a Pioneer power play to put them on the board. Lehi kept pushing to chip away at Bingham’s lead as Brennen Frazier got a good look at goal, but his bouncer was saved by TJ Edman, who outlet quickly, leading to a fast-break goal from Bingham by Alldredge, with the assist from Young.
Lehi kept the pressure high and refused to back down. Nielsen made a fantastic individual effort on a clear, setting up possession for the Pioneers with little time remaining in the first quarter. A great wing dodge by Stockton Dorton forced the defense to slide, and Jackson Rich would wrap from X, scoring with only five seconds left in the quarter. Connor Delphenich would win the following faceoff for Lehi and draw a penalty, giving the Pioneers the ball and an extra-man opportunity to start the second quarter. Lehi would take advantage of the opportunity as Delphenich found Dorton on a skip pass, and Dorton would score once again for Lehi, cutting Bingham’s advantage in half at 6-3.
Sensing a shift in momentum, Bingham’s offense came alive again with another 4-goal run. Faceoff specialist Jackson Williamson won the next two faceoffs for Bingham, and Bingham scored on both opportunities, with goals from Charlie Wahlquist and Krew Smith. Both teams struggled to clear the ball, and just when another failed clear looked likely, Region 2’s Defensive MVP Judson DuPaix split a triple team to keep momentum on Bingham’s side. Bingham’s offense took advantage as Wahlquist found Carlson for his second goal of the day. Alldredge returned the favor to Anderson, and the senior attack duo scored again to push Bingham’s lead to 10-3 at the half.
The second half could have started with a big shift in momentum when a fast break led to a 1-on-1 between Mason Heightman and TJ Edman. Edman shut down the fast break attempt, leading to a Miners’ goal by Anderson on the other end. On the following faceoff, Lehi had another fast break opportunity snuffed out as Edman stood tall once again. Lehi would have two more fast-break opportunities in the third quarter, but they were stopped by Edman and by a risky slide by DuPaix, which paid off with a turnover. Lehi’s defense refused to be outdone and forced the Miners into turnovers on several possessions in a row, with big saves by Isaac VanCott. Following another Bingham turnover, Nielsen would take it coast to coast to start Lehi’s quest to chip away at Bingham’s lead. However, Luke Whitney would score once again with five seconds left in the third quarter to give Bingham a commanding 12-4 lead going into the final period.
Lehi refused to give up. Colton Kenison would intercept a Bingham pass, leading to a goal for Stockton Dorton, with an assist from Jackson Rich. Lehi would have multiple great opportunities slip through their fingers, as a scrum in front of the goal would just miss wide, a shot from Neilsen forced a tough save by Edman, and a man-up chance would hit the post. Lehi’s excellent defense was beaten by even better offense from Krew Smith, as a lightning-quick wraparound shot from X would extend Bingham’s lead once again. However, Lehi refused to give up. A caused turnover by Jax McWhorter would lead to a Bingham penalty, and this time Lehi would capitalize with a goal by Kenison from Neilsen. Delphenich would win the next three faceoffs, leading to goals for the Pioneers. Dorton made a very contested catch on a feed from Frazier to score once again for Lehi. Rich would force a turnover in front of the goal to score an impressive Canadian-style goal. Nielsen would find Rich once again to finish on the crease to cap Lehi’s 5-goal fourth quarter. However, their comeback would fall short as Bingham would win the following faceoff and run out the clock, winning 13-9.
Lehi’s effort and tenacity were obvious to all in attendance. When their offense could set up, they were highly effective. With a little more time and without TJ Edman making some key saves, this could have been a nail-biter. Bingham’s rides were very effective, and their dominance in the ground ball game gave them a large share of time of possession, especially in the first half. Bingham’s offense looked unstoppable at times, but they have run into slow stretches that have cost them games this season. If they can put a whole game together, they will be tough to beat the rest of the tournament, especially with how tough their defense is. The Miners have not allowed an opponent to score more than 9 goals this season.
No. 6 Weber took care of business against No. 11 Lone Peak, winning 14-8.
Kage Panter had 7 points for the Warriors. Briggs Whitworth notched 3 goals and an assist. Lance Keller went 91% from the faceoff X for Weber.
“The boys played high level lacrosse tonight and moved the ball extremely well,” said Weber Head Coach Randy Allred. “They played poised and under control on both sides of the field. Couldn’t be more proud of the grit and effort these boys play with.”
No. 10 Herriman upset No. 7 Riverton, 12-9.
Both teams fought off nerves to begin the game but eventually found their stride with each team scoring 3 goals in the first quarter. Herriman did a nice job controlling the game after that, leading to a 12-9 win.
Griffin Casteel was the man for the Mustangs scoring 5 goals. Dax Sorensen had 3 goals for Herriman.
We caught up with Herriman Head Coach Braeden Lance on Instagram. View it here.
No. 8 Westlake earned a hard-fought victory over No. 9 Davis, 11-5.
5A
No. 1 Park City shut out No. 16 Northridge, 18-0.
No. 2 Brighton defeated No. 18 Skyline, 17-5.
The Bengals jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the first quarter with goals by Gabe Carrera, Burton Klc, Ian Welker and Zac Anderson. Skyline pulled one back at the end of the quarter. The scoreline was the same in the second and third quarters. Brighton finished the game with 5 goals and allowed two, making the final score 17-5. Carrera finished with 3 goals and 5 assists. Dylan Despain had 2 goals and 3 assists.
“The boys played well,” said Brighton Head Coach Chris O’Donnell. “It was a slow start but our key contributors took over when necessary and got us going. Region opponents can always be tricky but thought we handled it well. We’re looking forward to hosting a great opponent in Judge on Saturday.”
No. 3 Alta beat No. 14 Spanish Fork, 16-6.
No. 4 Wasatch took care of business against No. 13 Payson, winning 14-3.
Sam King notched 5 goals for the Wasps. Randy Horner had 4 points while Ty Griffith and Isaac Roylance both had 2 goals and an assist.
“We dominated faceoffs and time of possession the entire game, but in the first half despite generating a lot of good looks we weren’t burying the shots,” said Wasatch Head Coach Kevin Wallace. “That paired with Payson being optimistic and scoring a couple transition goals gave us only a 4-3 lead at half. The boys kept their composure and stuck with the game plan and in the second half we started hitting shots and dominated 10-0 in scoring. Sam King was our standout player hitting a lot of big shots to get us going. We’re excited to move on to the quarterfinals.”
No. 12 East upset No. 5 Bountiful, 16-13 - Ron Hill from Hill & Hill Photography was on hand to catch the action.
The East Leopards and the Bountiful Redhawks faced off in the second round of the 5A state playoffs. East was coming off a convincing victory over Viewmont in the first round on Tuesday and Top 10 ranked Bountiful were getting some rest and waiting on their first playoff opponent, setting up a classic high school playoff game.
Bountiful opened the game strong and built some comfortable leads and East leveraged an incredible fourth quarter which secured them a spot in Saturday’s Quarterfinals.
Visiting East began the scoring with a quick goal by Bailey Pearson-Ortolani just 45 seconds into the first quarter. Bountiful responded by putting six goals into the back of the net themselves throughout the quarter. Theo Holt added two scores, while Dawson Allsop and Madden Rieck added their own scores.
As it seemed the Redhawks had control of the game, the Leopards Oscar Keegan, Will Pearson-Ortolani and Cade Black were able to mix in some good shots to keep the East in the game at 4-6 at the end of the first quarter.
The second saw the same as the first as Bountiful seemed to hold much of the possession time but East was not going to let the Redhawks take complete control of the game. Bountiful’s Holt and Rieck put three quick scores on the board before East’s Bailey Pearson-Ortolani got the Leopards on the scoreboard themselves with a little over four minutes remaining. Bountiful’s Allsop doubled up the Redhawks lead at 10-5 with a nice score off a faceoff. But the Leopards held their resiliency and snuck in a couple of goals right before the halftime break, making the score 10-7 in favor of Bountiful.
The third quarter turned defensive and very physical for both teams as Bountiful was only able to get two goals from Carter Terry in the quarter. The Leopards could only find the back of the net once in the quarter because of some excellent goalkeeping by the Redhawks Ivan Holt, who had 12 saves on the evening, as W. Pearson-Ortolani scored his third goal on the evening. Bountiful had built some momentum with a nice 12-8 lead heading into the fourth quarter.
That is where it ended for Bountiful as the fourth quarter was all East. How about eight unanswered goals by the Leopards, compared to only one goal by the Redhawks in the quarter. B. Pearson-Ortolani began the scoring barrage about a minute into the quarter. At that point teammates, Keegan, with six goals on the evening, Black, and Eli Brink all added to the scoring explosion to give East the surprising but well-earned comeback 16-13 victory and a trip to the quarterfinals on Saturday.
No. 11 Box Elder upset No. 6 Timpview, 15-7.
Box Elder scored first and never looked back en route to a Second Round upset. Isaac Funk kicked off the scoring at the 7:54 mark for Box Elder. Aiden Dutson from Timpview tied the game two minutes later. Funk scored again to make the score 2-1 after the first quarter.
The Bees scored 5 goals in the second quarter and allowed just 1. Funk scored four of them with Josh Pugsley adding one. A 5-2 third quarter put the game out of reach as the Bees cruised to victory. Funk finished with 7 goals and 1 assist.
“The boys played great on both sides of the field,” said Box Elder Head Coach Tim Martin. “Our clears were working great and we got several fast break goals. Defense locked down their shooters. It was an awesome game to coach and watch.”
No. 7 Judge dominated No. 10 Pleasant Grove, 13-1.
The Bulldogs got out to an 8-0 lead late into the second quarter before the Vikings found the back of the net. Freddy Gowski had 3 goals and 2 assists. Jake Ortega had 4 caused turnovers for the Bulldogs.
“The boys played well,” said Judge Head Coach Jeff Brzoska. “We had 49 shots total for the game and kept the pressure on their D and Goalie all day. Defense was unbelievable again. I think we really have figured it out on both sides of the ball. Game balls went to Gowski and Ortega. Connor [Knight] was great in net as we went 22-22 in the clear and he made 7 saves.”
No. 8 Olympus edged No. 9 West Field, 9-5.
The first was a defensive battle with both goalies making great saves. The first goal of the game belonged to Olympus when Kai Rossi scored on the doorstep with 1:32 left in the first quarter. Drake Woolley would add a second goal with 20 seconds left.
The second quarter was more of the same with both defenses stepping up to the challenge. The lone goal of the quarter came with 25 seconds left when Kenny Olsen started with the ball up top, went left, then rolled back and was able to get his hands free to shoot a bottom left corner burner to put West Field on the board.
The third quarter brought more goals which made for an exciting second half. Olympus reeled off three goals over a 5 minute span to make the score 5-1. Olsen scored another for the Longhorns at the 5:25 mark. Olympus midfielder Chase Taylor found the back of the net with a great individual effort, spinning up top and driving through a couple defenders then placing a perfect bounce shot into the twine. West Field would pull one back when Cooper Horspool swept over the top then down the right alley and found the back of the net on a nice bounce shot.
West Field scored the first goal of the fourth quarter when Lincoln Miller hit the far pipe on an alley dodge. The ball hit both posts before falling in the goal to bring the game within two. Jacob Buxton answered on a right alley dodge then a bizarre goal for West Field rolled into the net on a loose ball scrum. Beynon would find the back of the net next for the Titans on a save that wasn’t controlled. Kai Rossi finished the scoring for the Titans and sending Olympus to the Quarterfinals.
We caught up with Olympus Head Coach Nick Merrel and Defenseman Thomas Ockey after the game. View the interview on Instagram.
4A
No. 1 Juan Diego cruised to a 19-2 victory over No. 16 Canyon View.
No. 2 Waterford tamed the No. 15 Hurricane Tigers, 17-2.
Noah Chao led the way with 3 goals and 4 assists. Zander Petrovitch had 3 goals and Luke Hunter, the freshman LSM Region 10 Defensive Player of the Year, had 3 goals as well.
“Our boys did what we asked and executed at a high level,” said Waterford Head Coach Will Manny. “We continue to play with great pace and manage the game well. A major focus for us has been building trust between our players and coaches within the game plan and in-game situations week to week. We are still striving to put together a complete four-quarter performance, but we’re continuing to grow as a team. Looking forward to being back at home on Saturday.”
No. 3 Bear River beat No. 14 Crimson Cliffs, 15-3.
No. 4 Green Canyon took care of business against No. 13 Jordan, winning 10-2.
Hayden Reeder had 3 goals and 2 assists for Green Canyon. Jensen Storrs made 12 saves in the win for the Wolves.
No. 5 Sky View beat No. 12 Dixie, 19-3.
Nixon Bohm had 6 goals and 2 assists for the Bobcats. Stetson Summers had 4 goals while Zach Tempest notched 3 goals and an assist.
“We’ve been working towards this and we feel like we’re peaking at the right time,” said Sky View Head Coach Craig Mueller. “We’ve been in every game but we struggled to finish. We’ve had a lot of key injuries, a small roster, and at times we can have five Freshman playing on the field, so depth and experience has hurt us. Now we have some players back and the underclassmen have 17 games under their belt. It’s all coming together at the right time. You can’t write it any better. Sky View and Green Canyon in the next round. We feel we’re ready and look forward to the challenge.”
No. 6 Timpanogos sneaked past No. 11 Provo, 10-5.
Brooks Jensen had 3 goals while Tanner Hansen and Noah Torgersen notched 2 goals for the Timberwolves.
No. 7 Ridgeline used a strong first quarter to beat No. 10 Highland, 8-5.
The Riverhawks led 4-1 at the end of the first which proved to be the difference as the scoring remained even the rest of the game. Andrew Johnson led the way for Ridgeline with 4 goals. Colbie Hislop had 4 caused turnovers while Jayden Andersen won 14 of 16 faceoffs.
No. 8 Mountain Crest narrowly escaped defeat, winning 7-6 over No. 9 Snow Canyon.
Davis Cooper had 4 goals and TJ Brown had 2 goals and 2 assists to lead the Mustangs. Kylan Atkinson had 18 saves for Mountain Crest.

Boys Quarterfinal Preview
6A
No. 1 Corner Canyon v. No. 8 Westlake - These former region foes are well acquainted with each other but it will take a Thor-like effort for Westlake to pull off the upset. Corner Canyon is 10-0 against common opponents while Westlake is 4-5. Corner Canyon is led by Pierson DeGracie who has 86 points on the season. Brady Burkinshaw is leading the Thunder with 65 points.
No. 2 Skyridge v. No. 10 Herriman
The odds are in favor of the Falcons who seem to be firing on all cylinders at the right time. The experience of Cabell Beuchner and Dylan Forsgren will help Skyridge as they look to return to the Semifinals for the second time in school history. The youth of Herriman will look to flip the script led by sophomore Dax Sorensen. Don’t forget goalie freshman Jackson Joyce who made several great saves in the Mustangs win over Riverton.
No. 3 Farmington v. No. 6 Weber
This will be the third time these two Region 1 foes will play this season. Farmington won both matchups, 11-9 and 9-6. This game will come down to the faceoff X and which team’s defense can slow down the other. Both teams like to push transition and have found success on fast and slow breaks.
No. 4 Mountain Ridge v. No. 5 Bingham
This quarterfinal game will be a rematch of the April 28 contest, when Mountain Ridge rallied from an 8-3 deficit to beat the Miners, shutting them out in the second half and claiming the Region 2 Championship. JT Rigby and Trace Hook each scored four goals for the Sentinels, and Ethan Alldredge led Bingham with two goals and an assist. This one should be another great chapter in this rivalry.
5A
No. 1 Park City v. No. 8 Olympus
Park City and Olympus faced off on April 28 and the Miners won, 8-4. Park City isn’t scoring a crazy number of goals, but its defense isn’t allowing many either, which is a good sign for postseason success. Olympus will look to get out and run to get the Park City defense moving.
No. 2 Brighton v. No. 7 Judge
Brighton beat Judge in what feels like a lifetime ago, 13-11, on March 13. Brighton is scoring more goals per game and allowing less goals per game which bodes well for the Bengal faithful. Judge is on a three-game winning streak and has found its groove. Brighton has won its last 8 games.
No. 3 Alta v. No. 11 Box Elder
The Bees are riding high with an upset in the Second Round and will hope to carry that momentum to Sandy on Saturday. Both teams are scoring just under 13 goals per game. Alta will hope to slow down Isaac Funk while the Bees will look to contain the potent Alta offense including JJ Massi and Beckham Horoba.
No. 4 Wasatch v. No. 12 East
Both teams are 3-1 against common opponents and are scoring the same amount of goals per game. The Wasatch defense has allowed more than 100 goals less than the East defense. East can score in bunches and the Wasp defense is stout. Whoever wins that end of the field will punch its ticket to the semis.
4A
No. 1 Juan Diego v. No. 8 Mountain Crest
Juan Diego won the regular-season matchup, 13-4, on March 23. The Mustangs will need to slow down the Soaring Eagle attack and win faceoffs. A win for Juan Diego would mean back-to-back trips to the semis.
No. 2 Waterford v. No. 7 Ridgeline
Waterford beat Ridgeline, 17-5, on April 13. I suspect the Ravens will employ the same game plan as that game and take home the win. Waterford has a vast history in the playoffs, but haven’t reached the semis since 2019 when it went to the Class C semis.
No. 3 Bear River v. No. 6 Timpanogos
The Bears have just two losses this year and both games were settled by one goal. Both teams love to score goals so the difference in this will be which defense plays best.
No. 4 Green Canyon v. No. 5 Sky View
All eyes in Cache Valley will be on this game as the rivals go to battle once again in the playoffs. Green Canyon beat Sky View in the 2022 and 2023 4A Championship games. The Wolves won both regular season matchups, 17-13 and 11-9. The numbers favor Green Canyon, but the Bobcats will throw those out the window. I suspect we’ll see a close game with a chance to play at Westminster on the line.

Girls Second Round Recap/Quarterfinal Preview
6A
It was what we expected as No. 1 Skyridge took down No. 16 Westlake. Next up, the Falcons will take on No. 8 Herriman, who took down No. 9 Copper Hills, 18-11. The Falcons and Mustangs squared off just a week ago with Skyridge winning, 15-6.
The Riverton sweep keeps on with their 18-point victory against No. 15 Cedar Valley. They will now face No. 7 at Davis on Saturday, and it is a clear David-and-Goliath situation. But Davis is a tough team, and last night came away with a win, playing No. 10 Weber, 13-7. Riverton beat the Darts, 17-7, just a week ago.
Lone Peak is making a big push this season! The No. 4 team took down No. 13 Bingham, 11-3. They will now go on to face the fearsome No. 5 Farmington Phoenix, who romped over the No. 12 Corner Canyon Chargers, 18-5. Lone Peak won the regular season matchup on April 17, 11-10. We suspect this will come down to the wire once again.
No. 3 Mountain Ridge was victorious over No. 14 American Fork 20-3. Lucy Rigby continues to be a powerhouse for the Sentinels, scoring an average of five points every match. We will see if she brings the heat on Saturday when they play No. 6 Syracuse Titans. Syracuse took down No. 11 Lehi, 11-5, and has a slightly better record than Mountain Ridge going into the quarterfinals, but Rigby and the team could pull it off.
5A
Let’s start with the expected: No. 1 Park City took down No. 16 Woods Cross, 20-1. There really is no stopping this team, especially when sophomore Natalia Szwajkun goes on the attack. They will now go on to face No. 9 Payson, who narrowly defeated No. 8 Pleasant Grove on Thursday, 12-10.
No. 3 West Jordan and No. 6 Olympus will now face off on Saturday after winning their respective games. Olympus triumphed over No. 11 Alta 16-4, and West Jordan defeated No. 14 Northridge, 12-7. The Titans are playing great lacrosse at the moment but the Jaguars have scored 103 more goals than Olympus. It should be a high-scoring affair to see who advances to the Semifinals.
We caught up with the Olympus coaches after the game. View the interview here.
In a challenging match, No. 4 Brighton took down No. 13 Wasatch, 10-6. While it looked like the Bengals would easily take the match at the half, leading 6-1, the Wasps came back in the third and fourth quarters to score five goals and make the Bengals work for their win. Brighton now goes on to face No. 5 Salem Hills, which took down No. 12 Hillcrest, 12-4. This is the game to watch on Saturday, as both the Bengals and the Skyhawks are fierce competitors and not willing to easily give up a game. Either team could come out on top.
The No. 2 Fremont Wolves all but shut out No. 15 West Field, allowing the Longhorns just one goal in the second half, and ending the match 18-1. They now go on to play No. 7 Clearfield, who earned its spot in the quarterfinals by narrowly taking down No. 10 Bonneville, 8-6.
4A
The bear in this division, No. 1 Bear River, easily dispatched No. 16 Snow Canyon in their first round of the playoffs. It would take a miracle not to see them in the finals. No. 9 Ridgeline had a good game last night, though taking down No. 8 Sky View, 13-10. While the game was close, the only score that mattered was the one at the final whistle. Bear River won both regular season matchups against Ridgeline, 20-2 and 19-3.
The No. 10 Canyon View Falcons defeated the No. 7 Highland Rams 14-12 in a game that was back and forth until the end. At the end of the first quarter, the game was tied 4 all. In the second and third, the Falcons put on a push, and going into the final quarter, they were up 13-9 due mostly to the scoring power of sophomore Ella Brown and junior Kellee Tanner. The Rams put up a fight in the end, coming within one point of the Falcons in the fourth, but in the end they couldn’t pull it off, due in part to the excellent net skills of Canyon View’s Junior goalie Tessa Bailey.
It was a great game for the Sugarhouse team as senior Olive Chastang finished her high school career with 5 points in a single match. Canyon View now goes to face off against No. 2 Provo on Saturday in the quarterfinals. And Provo better be ready, this is a tough team that is not afraid to scrap for a win. Oh, and they play with just one alternate.
No. 2 Provo could have what it takes to take down Canyon View after trouncing No. 15 Logan, 16-4. This was the expected turnout, but Provo can’t take anything for granted anymore moving forward, especially with the power Canyon View is bringing to the field.
No. 3 Judge Memorial took down No. 14 Orem with an impressive 19-point spread, 24-5. Senior Heidi Delpoyus kept the team running and will help them seek a trip to the semifinals when they face No. 6 Green Canyon on Saturday. The Wolves took down No. 11 Waterford, 11-9. The Ravens went into this game expecting a rematch with the Bulldogs after the region final, and it looked like it would happen after a 7-point surge in the second half, but ultimately Green Canyon reigned supreme.
In the southern part of the state, the No. 4 Hurricane Tigers, as expected, took down the No. 13 Desert Hills Thunder, 14-11. The Tigers will now take on the No. 5 Timpanogos Timberwolves, who defeated the Jordan Beetdiggers, 11-8.
