Beehive Buzz Live: Game of the Week Recap Orem vs Lone Peak

It was a fantastic atmosphere at Lone Peak High, and the crowd was loud and the home stands were filled. Lone Peak got off to a fast start with a Pick-Six, then a quick touchdown on their first offensive play. They rode that 14-point cushion and went wire to wire. Orem couldn't get to the quarterback, and the pass rush was held at bay due to a quick passing attack and a rotation of running backs. Lone Peak proved to be a complete team and a danger in the 6A classification. Orem fought back and didn't have the man power against the higher classification, they should make a deep run at the 5A classification and this game will help them in the long run, they showed good grit in fighting back from a 3+ score deficit to come all the way back to being down 10 towards the midway point of the 4th quarter. Orem will come out better for this, and Lone Peak comes out victorious and know that they can compete against anyone. Both teams can hold their head high.

The first offensive snap of the game, he took it to the house and showed his speed as he ran away from defenders, even a safety that had an angle on him. He appears effortless when he's out there, just an exceptional talent. He does a great job of making defenders miss and creating with the ball in his hands. His footwork, route running, and nuance at the position are exceptional.     Kennan routinely got open on the night and was a handful for the opposing cornerback. Kennan is an exceptional talent.

He looked good during the offseason showcases and will be a player who should get reps as the season goes on.     Barney was effective throughout the night and a key note to take away is that he was the short yardage back, the goal line back, and the back they used to close out the game.
