While losing is never fun, the Mustangs can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Utah football rankings (they are ranked 33rd, while the Chargers are ranked first).
Despite the loss, Herriman had strong showings from Ryker Renteria, who picked up 92 receiving yards and a touchdown, and Bryce Benson, who threw for 178 yards and a touchdown. Renteria really caught the secondary sleeping when he pulled down a catch that went for 80 yards.

Herriman might still be hurting after the 37-14 defeat they got from Lone Peak in their previous meeting back in October of 2021. Thankfully for Herriman, Easton Comer (who threw for 249 yards and three touchdowns while completing 77.3% of his passes, and also rushed for 46 yards and a touchdown) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
