Kearns is on a three-game streak of home losses, and Taylorsville a seven-game streak of away losses dating back to last season. However, someone's due for a change in luck on Friday. The Kearns Cougars will host the Taylorsville Warriors at 7:00 p.m. Having both just faced considerable losses, both teams are looking to turn things around.
Kearns is headed into the game out to prove that what happened against Hunter on Friday (when they were outscored in every quarter) was just a minor bump in the road. The Cougars took a blow against the Wolverines, falling 51-14. The Cougars were in a tough position after the first half, with the score already sitting at 22-0.
Although Kearns took the loss, they still got scores from Niko Niko Manusina-Faamausili and Manuel Deegan.
Most of the squad's points came courtesy of special teams, who contributed eight in total. The biggest highlight from special teams (and perhaps the team as a whole) came courtesy of Niko Manusina-Faamausili, who ran a kickoff back for a touchdown.
Meanwhile, it's never fun to lose, and it's even less fun to lose 70-6, which was the final score in Taylorsville's tilt against West on Friday. While losing is never fun, the Warriors can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Utah football rankings (they are ranked 89th, while the Panthers are ranked 17th).
Taylorsville's loss dropped their record down to 0-7. As for Kearns, their defeat dropped their record down to 1-6.
Kearns was taken down by Taylorsville 40-13 when the teams last played back in September of 2024. Thankfully for the Cougars, Cole Kramer (who rushed for 116 yards and two touchdowns on only 14 carries, and also threw for 205 yards and three TDs while completing 73.7% of his passes) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
