Morgan and Manti squared off in some playoff action on Friday, but Morgan had to settle for second. They lost to the Templars at home by a 42-28 margin. The Trojans' loss signaled the end of their ten-game winning streak.
Morgan's defeat came despite a true team effort from the offense with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Cade Randall, who threw for 283 yards and one touchdown, and also punched in one rushing score. Kanyon Leonelli also helped with two TDs in total.
Don't try to pin the team's loss on the defense: they kept the trenches locked down and allowed a mere one yards per carry. While two picked up at least 15 total tackles, Noah Birkeland stood above the rest. He made 15 total tackles (1.0 for loss). Sadly, that's becoming something of a trend for Morgan; they were averaging 6yards per carry per game earlier this season, but in their last three matchups they've fallen to only 3.5 per game.
Carter Mason continued his habit of posting crazy stat lines for Manti, throwing for 360 yards and four touchdowns. Mason didn't just play on offense: he also made two total tackles and defended one pass in addition to snagging an interception.
The loss was their first at home , dropping their record down to 10-2. As for Manti, the win (which was their sixth in a row) raised their record to 9-3.
Morgan does not have any more games scheduled as of now. As for Manti, they will face off against Cedar at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday. That game will pit two of the most dominant signal callers against one another: Mason and Everett Kelling.
