Gritzmacher Posts Huge Game in 49-10 Defeat
While Vaughn Gritzmacher delivered a dominant effort on Thursday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Tooele.

The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 62 yards.
This season, Gritzmacher has run in 16 touchdowns while averaging 132.9 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after nine games last season, he had eight rushing touchdowns.

Coleman Dearden Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Coleman Dearden posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Thursday. He rushed for 86 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 87 yards and a touchdown.
