Clearfield Football Triumphs Over Jordan
In a thrilling matchup on Friday night, Clearfield High School’s football team showcased their prowess with a decisive 23-7 victory over Jordan, marking their second win of the season. Senior running back Sean Brant played a pivotal role, rushing 24 times for an impressive 175 yards and contributing a touchdown that helped propel the Falcons to victory.
Stellar Performance by Quarterback Barlow
The offense was not solely reliant on Brant, as sophomore quarterback Brik Barlow demonstrated his talent behind center. Barlow completed 12 of 19 passes for a total of 166 yards and delivered a touchdown pass, effectively orchestrating the team’s offensive efforts. A standout in the receiving corps, senior Landon Hittle caught seven of those passes, accumulating 109 yards, further emphasizing the team’s diverse offensive strategy.
Defensive Standouts
While the offense shone brightly, Clearfield’s defense also deserves mention. Easton Harmon was a force on the defensive end, racking up 12 tackles—seven of which were solo. Additionally, defensive backs Tayson Fisher and Bryson Ridge each made critical interceptions, stifling any momentum Jordan attempted to build.
Syracuse Dominates Bountiful
In another exciting game, Syracuse maintained their undefeated streak, overpowering Bountiful with a score of 35-7. Quarterback Ledger Wight was the star of the game, throwing for four touchdowns and adding one more on the ground. His ability to spread the ball was evident, as he connected with multiple receivers—starting with a 10-yard pass to Cohen Godderidge, which opened the scoring for Syracuse.
Wight continued to showcase his dual-threat capabilities, running for a 3-yard touchdown and later finding Tanner Miller for a 7-yard strike to cap off a stellar performance. Bountiful managed to get on the board with a late touchdown, but it was clear that Syracuse was in control throughout the matchup.
Ogden’s Defensive Masterclass Against Carbon
Another noteworthy game featured Ogden, whose defense didn’t allow a single touchdown, leading to a commanding 43-7 win over Carbon. Quarterback Blake Weston emerged as the highlight, throwing three touchdown passes and setting the tone early with a spectacular 90-yard touchdown throw to Jack Thompson.
Keen Crowther supplemented the offense with both a rushing touchdown and a successful 2-point conversion, ensuring a comfortable edge against their opponents. Even with Carbon’s lone touchdown coming from a kickoff return, Ogden’s defense remained resolute, putting them in a position for success.
Nail-Biting Finish in Morgan
Morgan High School clinched a hard-fought 24-21 victory against Park City in a game that kept fans on the edge of their seats. Owen Gilson, stepping in for the injured Cade Randall, made crucial contributions with a passing and rushing touchdown. His ability to lead the team under pressure became evident as Morgan came from behind to secure the win. The game featured several lead changes, with both teams exchanging blows before Morgan ultimately claimed victory with Gilson’s decisive late touchdown.
Corner Canyon Remains Unbeaten
In Plain City, Corner Canyon proved their dominance once again, defeating Fremont 67-21 in a game that saw them score the last 36 points. After a competitive start, Corner Canyon pulled away, shutting down Fremont’s offense and showcasing their own explosive scoring capabilities.
Salem Hills Roars Back
Salem Hills was down at halftime to West Field but stormed back with a powerful second half, scoring 23 unanswered points to secure a 33-15 win. Boston Kap’s 90-yard kickoff return set the stage for an impressive comeback, demonstrating the Longhorns’ resilience and depth.
