For the first time this season, Desert Hills will have a chance to prove themselves in a conference matchup. They will challenge the Cedar Reds at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, these teams will really light up the scoreboard.
Desert Hills had to skate by with only a one-goal margin when they last took the pitch, which might have inspired the six-goal drubbing they dealt Manti on Saturday. The Thunder blew past the Templars 7-1. The match marked Desert Hills' most dominant victory of the season so far.
Their offense was hitting Manti from everywhere, as five different players booted in a goal. Porter Shelley led that balanced group of strikers and accounted for two goals all by himself.
Meanwhile, Cedar kept a clean sheet against Juab last Saturday. They put the hurt on the Wasps with a sharp 8-0 win.
Desert Hills pushed their record up to 4-1 with the victory, which was their third straight at home. Those home wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored ten goals over those three contests. As for Cedar, they now have a winning record of 2-1.
Desert Hills skirted past Cedar 2-1 in their previous meeting back in April of 2025. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Thunder since the squad won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
