Cedar’s Caleb Paule had three rushing touchdowns but it wasn’t enough as the Panthers picked up their fourth win of the season.

Desert Hills Thunder 49 @ Dixie Flyers 0

The outcome was never really in doubt for the Desert Hills Thunder as they continued to run in touchdowns and stonewall the Dixie Flyers. Five of the Thunder’s seven touchdowns came on the ground. Tytan Mason ran in three and Isaac Andresen had the other two. In the first quarter, Cyrus Polu intercepted the Dixie quarterback and returned it 35 yards for six.

Region 10

Murray Spartans 45 @ Hillcrest Huskies 7

Cottonwood Colts 0 @ No. 24 Park City Miners 63

Luke Diamond and Nikolas Morgan both had defensive touchdowns for Park City while Ethan Cunningham added a hat trick of rushing TDs.

Tooele Buffaloes 42 @ Jordan Beetdiggers 7

Region 11

No. 23 Green Canyon Wolves 14 @ Mountain Crest Mustangs 28

The Mountain Crest Mustangs had the home-field advantage in week seven and it showed as they beat the Green Canyon Wolves with relative ease. The Mustangs scored 21 of their 28 points in the opening quarter. Their fourth TD came in the second quarter and it was all defense from there. The Wolves had a fourth-quarter surge which saw 14 points in less than four minutes but the run was too little, too late for Green Canyon.

Logan Grizzlies 0 @ No. 9 Ridgeline Riverhawks 68

The Ridgeline Riverhawks flexed their muscles in an impressive 68-point shutout win over the Logan Grizzlies in week seven. The Hawks scored 55 points in the first half, went scoreless in the third quarter, and then added two more touchdowns in the fourth for good measure.

However, the Bobcats gave them a taste of their own medicine with two unanswered TDs in the fourth to secure the win.
