1 Crimson Cliff vs. 8 Cedar City
The Cedar City Reds travels to Washington, UT to face off against the Crimson Cliff Mustangs. The Reds will be led by their duel threat QB Koden Lunt and a pair of wide receivers in Ammon York and Connor Hardman. They go up against a defense that has one of top sack leaders in the state Scott Nisson and defensive leaders Mckay Wright and Rowan Williams. Crimson Cliff QB Steele Barben has had a productive season, but will it be enough to up against one of the top tacklers in the state Bryson Bennett and defensive lineman Matthew Villa Rose who’s been a stout defender on that defensive line.
My Pick: Crimson Cliff
4 Ridgeline vs. 5 Snow Canyon
The last time Snow Canyon played Ridgeline they lost 24 – 8, but will it be different the second time around ? Snow Canyon QB Hunter Johnson and top target WR Jake Hill Jake Hill 6'3" | 195 lbs | WR Snow Canyon | 2023 State UT will face off against a good Ridgeline defense that has DL Tanner Paskett Tanner Paskett 6'2" | 185 lbs | DL Ridgeline | 2023 State UT , DB Traceton Stokes, and LB Owen Monk. Snow Canyon DB Brooks Esplin Brooks Esplin 5'11" | 175 lbs | WR Timpview | 2023 State UT will go up against Utah State commit Jackson Olsen Jackson Olsen 6'3" | 175 lbs | WR Ridgeline | 2023 State UT in a nice one on one match up along with 3DB Brandon Gough going up against WR Carson Cox. A lot of good talent to be seen in this friday night match.
My Pick: Upset alert !!! Snow Canyon
2 Desert Hills vs. 7 Sky View
Desert Hills QB Noah Fuailetolo Noah Fuailetolo 6'1" | 240 lbs | QB Desert Hills | 2023 State UT and HB Tyden Morris will go up against a tough Sky View defense that has LB Kason Spackman, Camron Carling, and DB Michael Furgeson to slow down Desert Hill’s offense. Sky View’s WR Brooks Rigby will go up against Desert Hill’s DB Tayven Mortensen. Another good match up you don’t want to miss.
My Pick: Desert Hills
3 Dixie vs. 6 Mountain Crest
Mountain Crest has plenty of offensive weapons with HB Carson Olsen and receivers Will Dekorver and Kolton Kirby to go up against one of the leading tacklers in the state LB Treven Alldredge, stud LB Jake Dombroski, and DB Brayden Wilson. Dixie’s offense will be led by QB Jalen Schultz along with receivers Jaxon Barben and Blake Watson to get through a defense that has LB Dax Benson, Carson Olsen and Brayden Tannihill if they want to win this game.
My Pick: Dixie
