Dixie vs Canyon View
Canyon View jumped out to an early lead with a Bryson Barnes pick-six and never trailed the rest of the night.

Dixie found some momentum in the third quarter as Riker Muhlestein threw back-to-back touchdown passes to cut the deficit to eight. Canyon View responded with two more touchdowns in the fourth quarter to put the game out of reach. The Flyers added one final touchdown pass to Porter Greer, but the Falcons ran out the clock and held on for the 41–26 victory.
Game Highlight: Riker Muhlestein escaped the pressure, scrambled around the pocket, and connected with Dane Dobler, who turned upfield and raced to the pylon for a 30-yard touchdown.

Brody Lounsbury finally broke through with a 92-yard kickoff return for a touchdown, but it was too little too late as Layton Christian defeated Snow Canyon 21–7.

PLAY OF THE WEEK
Presented by Jimmy John's
This week’s Jimmy John’s Play of the Week goes to Dixie quarterback Riker Muhlestein and Dane Dobler. Muhlestein escaped the pressure, kept the play alive and found Dobler, who turned upfield and raced toward the pylon. The 30-yard touchdown was a huge second-half play that helped spark the Flyers’ comeback attempt.
Rewind that.
