The Ogden Tigers will face off against the Cedar Reds at 4:00 p.m. on Friday. Both come into the contest bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
Ogden is on a roll after a high-stakes playoff matchup on Friday. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 14-12 victory over Canyon View. The win made it back-to-back victories for the Tigers.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Cedar). They claimed a resounding 63-0 win over Carbon. Given the Reds' advantage in MaxPreps' Utah football rankings (they are ranked 23rd, while the Dinos are ranked 97th) , the win two weeks ago wasn't entirely unexpected.
Ogden better focus on containing Everett Kelling and Braxton Demille as the pair were huge in Cedar's win. Kelling threw for 165 yards and three TDs while completing 91.7% of his passes, while Demille rushed for 105 yards and one touchdown on only ten carries. The dominant performance also gave Kelling a new career-high in passer rating (170.1).
Cedar's run defense was locked in: Carbon could only muster -0.5 yards per carry. The team can thank Luke McNett for the heroic effort on defense: he. The dominant display was nothing new: Cedar has now limited their opponent to fewer and fewer yards per carry in three consecutive matchups.
Ogden's record is now 7-4. As for Cedar, their record now sits at 10-0.
