Bountiful's success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Siaki Fekitoa led the charge by rushing for 130 yards and three TDs while picking up 8.1 yards per carry. The Redhawks are 6-2 when Fekitoa posts 80 or more rushing yards, but 1-3 otherwise. Mason Tidwell did his part to keep the secondary busy, picking up 83 receiving yards.
Wins are hard to come by when you can't run the rock, something Bountiful proved: they limited West Jordan to a paltry 1.7 yards per carry. The team can thank Dawson Allsop for the heroic effort on defense: he. Bountiful's run defense has been on the up-and-up: they allowed four yards per carry earlier this season, but they've only allowed 6.23 on average over their last five games.
Bountiful's defensive line also made the game a nightmare for Ayden Dunn, racking up nine sacks. The heavy lifting was done by Allsop and Viliami Vunipola, who racked up five sacks between them.
Meanwhile, West humbled Northridge with a 56-13 victory. Considering the Panthers have won ten games by more than 26 points this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.
While passing duties were split, you can't argue with the impact Louie Hamilton and Kamden Lopati both made on the contest. Hamilton rushed for 180 yards and six scores while picking up 8.2 yards per carry while Lopati rushed for 115 yards and one touchdown on only eight carries. Lopati's longest rush was for an impressive 60 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Bountiful's record now sits at 7-5. As for West, their record is now 10-1.
