Meanwhile, Lone Peak faced Davis in a battle between two of the state's top teams on Friday. The Knights skirted past the Darts 41-38. 41 seems to be a good number for the Knights as the team scooped up a win with the same number of points in their previous game.
Lone Peak had a senior duo take command as Tate Barney rushed for 162 yards and a pair of TDs and Kepa Niumeitolu rushed for 77 yards and one touchdown. Those 162 rushing yards set a new season-high mark for Barney.
On the defensive side of the ball, a lot of the credit has to go to Lone Peak's defensive line and their three sacks. The team can thank three different players for their defensive prowess: Kingston Stroshine, Tagg Zundel, and Tate King, who each picked up one sack apiece. Lone Peak got some further help from Stroshine: he picked up a sack and made 11 total tackles (3.0 for loss).
Skyridge's record now sits at 9-2. As for Lone Peak, their record is now 7-4.
Skyridge came out on top in a nail-biter against Lone Peak when the teams last played back in October, sneaking past 37-34. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Falcons since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
