Two dominant backs in DYSON PARKER and Felisi Felipe are getting ready to go toe-to-toe. After each having a week off, the Weber Warriors and the Herriman Mustangs will shake off the cobwebs and hit the field against one another at 4:00 p.m. on the 31st. Weber has given up an average of 32 points per game this season, but Friday's game will give them a chance to turn things around.
Weber is coming in fresh off a high-stakes matchup with another one of Utah's top teams: Davis, who was ranked third at the time (Weber was ranked 25th). The Warriors lost 41-20 to the Darts on Wednesday. The Warriors have struggled against the Darts recently, as the game was their fifth consecutive lost matchup.
Despite the loss, Weber saw an underclassman step up: sophomore PARKER rushed for 145 yards and one score, and also caught one TD.
Meanwhile, you can't lose the game if you win every quarter, and that was precisely Herriman's strategy against Cedar Valley on Thursday. Given that consistent dominance, it should come as no surprise that the Mustangs blew the Aviators out of the water with a 56-6 final score. Considering the Mustangs have won seven matchups by more than 19 points this season, Thursday's blowout was nothing new.
Weber better keep an eye on Tyler Messer. He was instrumental in Herriman's win, rushing for 76 yards and one touchdown on only six carries, while also throwing for 90 yards and one TD.
Herriman pushed their record up to 9-1 with the win, which was their fifth straight on the road. Those road victories came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 9.4 points on average over those games. As for Weber, they now have a losing record of 4-5.
