Hillcrest Comes Up Short Despite Huge Game from Underclassman K'von Houston
Underclassman K'Von Houston came into Wednesday's matchup looking to prove himself and that's exactly what he did. Despite the loss, he was still balling out as he threw for 291 yards and three touchdowns while completing 75% of his passes, and also rushed for 50 yards.
For the season, Houston has thrown 11 touchdowns while averaging 143 passing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 15 passing yards per game.

Conner Whitehead Turns in Season-Best Effort
Conner Whitehead produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Murray to the win on Wednesday. Whitehead rushed for 70 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. Murray is undefeated when Whitehead posts two or more rushing touchdowns, but 3-4 otherwise.
For the year, Whitehead has averaged 13.7 receiving yards per game.

Dearden Posts Huge Game in 56-21 Victory
Coleman Dearden's big game helped extend Stansbury's winning streak to three on Wednesday. Tooele had no answer to Dearden as he threw for 195 yards and two touchdowns on only 14 passes.
Tooele's probably not too fond of Dearden given he always seems to get the better of them. When Dearden last faced the Buffaloes back in October of 2023, he threw for 288 yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 40 yards.
