High school football: Delta gets first championship appearance in 10 years with 2A semifinal win over Summit Academy

Delta got off to a hot start in its 2A semifinal against Summit Academy, which it desperately needed. The early boost was enough for the Rabbits to clinch their first championship appearance since 2016, as they beat the Bears 21-14 on Friday. Delta dominated its first drive and easily got into the end zone. Then on the first play of its second drive after a stop, Jacen Johnson had a 68-yard touchdown reception from Bodey Shurtz for an early 14-0 lead. “We knew we needed to start fast because this team is very physical and they seem to get better and better as the game goes on,” said Delta head coach Denton Peterson. “We really had the plan that we needed to start fast and try to get a little bit of a cushion, and it worked out, luckily.” Meanwhile, Summit Academy struggled to get much offense going as the Delta defense kept the Bears from any significant yardage.
