High School Report

For those new to this blog, I look for a defensive team performance that wins the game. I do not look for an outstanding individual performance on defense. If his teammates play lousy, it will all be for naught. This is a hobby of mine and I am not passing my reports on to any college recruiters. I will name a special teams performer when I hear about one or witness one. If there is no special teams player mentioned, it is because I had neither. I do not see film of all the games nor can I attend all of them. I try to make one game per week.

Region 1

There were 4 shut-outs in region 1 this last week. The bad news is that region 1 teams were on the short end of two of them. There were a lot of good offensive performances this week, so it is hard to nail one of them down. There will be co-awards for week 1. And hey, didn't get the chance to give Clearfield High a lot of love last year, but they get all this love this week.

Co-Offensive Players of the week: Clearfield RB Braxton Patterson and Northridge QB Trent Buckley
Co-Defensive Teams of the week: Davis and Clearfield for the clean sheet.
Special teams player of the week: Weber PK Tommy Stewart for being cool late in the game.
Game of the week: Weber 19 Box Elder 18

Region 5

We are going to see a lot of future BYU Cougar Alex Kuresa this year. He was the difference in Mountain Crest's easier than expected win over Highland on Friday. There were not a lot of winners among region 5 teams this week. Unexpected for such a strong region.

Region 11:

I hope that you were laughing when saw that I predicted that Juan Diego could hang with 5-A power West. It did turn out to be a heck of a game. The Panthers had to score 3 touchdowns in the 4th quarter to force the game into OT.
