It's hard to turn regular season success into postseason wins, a fact Canyon View can now relate to. They fell just short of the Ogden Tigers by a score of 14-12 on Friday. The Falcons were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Tigers apparently hadn't forgotten their loss the last time these teams played back in August of 2022.
When it comes to explaining why Canyon View lost, don't look at Ryder Miller. Despite the final result, he rushed for 62 yards and one TD.
While Canyon View came up short, they sure didn't make it easy for Ogden: they limited their QB to completion percentage of just 50%.
