Here’s a complete roundup of Friday’s Week 9 high school football action from around the state. Here’s a recap of the Thursday’s 19 games.
Region 2
Hunter 22, Cyprus 15
Damon Armenta rushed for a touchdown with just over eight minutes left to tie the game for Cyprus. The Wolverines offense would immediately, driving the field in under two minutes when Solomone Tauteoli scored from eight yards out to give Hunter the lead. Their defense would step up and not allow the Pirates to even up the score in the final moments.
“I’m very proud of this team and coaching staff for how we came out in the second half and finished the game. We made some good adjustments. Players showed great heart and pride in execution in all three phases. We got big plays from multiple guys in all three phases. We wanted to send our seniors out of the regular season on a high note, I thought our second-half effort showed how much it mattered to us.”
— Hunter coach Tarell Richards
West 49, Kearns 37
West was able to grow their lead in each of the first three periods, slowly adding to it until they led by 18 points with 12 minutes to go. The offense was led by Karson Lopati and Sesi Vailahi, who connected for two touchdowns in the seconds quarter, the first from 18 yards and the other from 71 yards. Vailahi would finish the game with four touchdowns after adding two more on the ground.
Region 3
Herriman 33, Copper Hills 3

Michael Falatea scored twice on the ground and Dom Martucci recorded a pick-six in the Herriman victory.
Bingham 42, West Jordan 0
The Miners clinched at least a share of yet another Region 3 title with a shutout thrashing of West Jordan. Nate Elison and Havea Foto each punched in two rushing touchdowns for Bingham.
“We played a very scrappy West Jordan team that played very hard the entire game. We made some big plays offensively and were lights out on defense. I am very proud of how this team is coming together an can’t wait for the playoffs.”
— Bingham coach Dave Peck
Riverton 24, Mountain Ridge 21
Riverton outscored the Sentinels 17-0 in the second quarter, which ended up being just enough to hold off a late surge from Ayden Helm and the Mountain Ridge offense. The win sets up a showdown with Bingham next Friday that will allow the Silverwolves to clinch a share of the Region 3 title with a win.
“Great game. So many great performances by so many players. Sau did Sau things and ran tough all night. His line and center Kyller Pickle played awesome. Lincoln Whiting stayed tough after some calls went against him. He came in clutch with the rest of FG block by creating a pressure on their FG unit. Dylan Turville came in clutch with some pressure kicks that ended up being the difference. Still improving and still need to clean up mistakes going into playing our region leader Bingham.”
— Riverton coach Jody Morgan

Bountiful scored four times in the first quarter as they dominated the Knights in a Region 5 matchup.

They would never look back, utilizing a balanced attack to extend their lead more as the game went on.
Viewmont 21, Woods Cross 0
In a battle between Region 5’s bottom-feeders, it was the Vikings who secured the victory to keep Woods Cross without a win this season. Junior Britton Christensen sealed the win for Viewmont with a 79-yard touchdown run late in the fourth quarter.
Bonneville 20, Box Elder 0
Bonneville cruised to a victory over Box Elder to finish 5-1 in region play, but ultimately ended up falling one game short of a Region 5 title with Bountiful’s blowout win over Northridge. Quarterback Koy Dixon tossed two touchdowns and ran in another to give the Lakers a road victory.
Region 6
Skyline 10, Park City 6
An early field goal in the first quarter by Ryan Wiscomb gave the Eagles a 3-0 lead they would carry all the way into the fourth quarter, where Alexander Emery hit Austin Okerwa for a 60-yard touchdown to give Skyline a 10-0 lead. Park City would score a touchdown with just over a minute remaining, but it was too little too late as the Eagles remained in contention for a Region 6 title.
“Our guys played their hearts out. I was really proud of them. They’ve got an amazing running back and a great offensive line. I’m proud of our boys.”
— Skyline coach John Rowbotham

Both Seth Rigtrup (140 yards 1TD) and Tevita Valeti (102 yards 1 TD) rushed for over 100 yards.
“It was a complete team effort. It was their senior night and they went out and got us the win. Cole made a big reception on fourth down to keep the drive alive then Will Penrod put it in the end zone to seal the win. Brian Gordon was huge for us on defense with several sacks and pass defenses. I am very grateful for such a great senior class tonight. What a way to end their regular season.”
— Springville coach Willy Child
Wasatch 45, Provo 41
Jace Welsh scored four touchdowns, including two late in the game to cut Wasatch’s lead to single digits, but in the end the Quezon Villa and Josh Sanders connection was too powerful. That combo scored a 50-yard touchdown right before halftime and then came out of the break where they connected for another pair, this time from 45 and 95 yards out respectively.
“It was awesome to see our seniors get to come out and bounce back to get a win on our field to finish the regular season. We feel like we are really coming into our own and clicking going into the playoffs. We’ve got a lot of great ball players who can go in space. We’re excited to get to work next week and be ready for whoever we match up against in the playoffs.”
— Wasatch coach Steve Coburn

Pine View scored first in overtime on Keith Adams’ fourth TD run of the game, but Snow Canyon answered quickly on a 25-yard TD pass to Jake Hill and then Johnson again threw a two-point conversion pass to seal the win.
“So proud of our team. We stuck together and continued to believe through the end. Very excited for our seniors on senior night to get a big overtime win against Pine View. As gritty a team win as I’ve ever been a part of. Playing with that effort and grit is a great way to finish our region schedule and will help us as we enter the playoffs.”
— Snow Canyon coach Mike Esplin

Desert Hills 34, Cedar City 33
Despite trailing by 12 points late in the fourth quarter, the Thunder were able to stay connected and rally for a road win over Cedar City. First Noah Fuailetolo hit Awsten turnbow for a 27-yard touchdown to cut the lead to five points less than a minute after a Cedar score. Later with just 68 seconds remaining, Tyden Morris punched in a game-winner from one yard out to lead Desert Hills. Koden Lunt threw for four touchdowns for the Reds.
Region 11
Sky View 20, Green Canyon 7
Green Canyon was a foot away from from forcing overtime in the waning seconds as it faced third and goal from the one-foot line, but it fumbled the ball and Cole Watterson scooped it up and raced 99 yards on the final play of the game that was played in a steady downpour all night. Garrett Zollinger tossed a pair of TD passes for Sky View, including the go-ahead TD pass to Kimball Jackson with 8:54 left in the game.

San Juan 8, Beaver 0
Bronson Snyder scored on a 25-yard TD pass from Jace Palmer in the second quarter, and that was all the offense visiting San Juan needed as it blanked Beaver to hand the Beavers their first loss of the season in the process halt their winning streak at 34 games. The 34-game winning streak is the fourth longest in state history. San Juan added a safety in the third quarter on a snap over the punter’s head.

Brock Simpson threw three touchdowns in the first half, but it was Nick Bean returning a 57-yard pick-six on the final play of the half that really swung momentum towards the Cotls as it put them up two scores. They came out of halftime and quickly added another that pushed their lead over 20 points in a blink of an eye.
“After a slow start for the first half of the first quarter, our kids were able to re-focus and settle in. We got big plays to come back from down 13, then made some big defensive plays just before half and in the second half to secure the win.”
— Cottonwood coach Casey Miller
