Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Timpview). They blew past the Wasatch Wasps 48-14 on the road on Friday. Given the Thunderbirds' advantage in MaxPreps' Utah football rankings (they are ranked fourth, while the Wasps are ranked 55th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Carson Rasmussen was his usual excellent self, throwing for 319 yards and five touchdowns while picking up 10.6 yards per attempt, and also rushing for 38 yards and a touchdown. Zedekiah Anahu-Ambrosio also helped with two touchdowns in total.
Timpview's defense stepped up as well, laying out the QB five times. The heavy lifting was done by Matthias Lesa and Daniel Beckstead, who racked up four sacks between them. Lesa is also on a roll when it comes to total tackles, as he's now made six or more in the last nine games he's played dating back to last season. Another thorn in Wasatch's side was Taaniela Makasini, who made 14 total tackles (2.0 for loss) and snagged an interception.
The victory was the third in a row for Timpview, bringing their record for this year to 4-2. As for Wasatch, they are on a six-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-7.
