Lone Peak's ground attack was stronger, having averaged 4.5.
Lone Peak didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off two passes before the game was over. The picks came courtesy of Kingston Stroshine and Tevita Mounga. Mounga also made four total tackles, which is notable because Lone Peak is 5-2 when he posts at least three total tackles, but 1-2 otherwise.
Lone Peak's victory bumped their record up to 6-4. As for Davis, their win bumped their record up to 10-1.
Davis was taken down by Lone Peak 34-6 in their previous meeting back in November of 2018. Thankfully for the Darts, Kobe Freeman (who rushed for 90 yards and one TD on only nine carries, and also caught one score) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
