7 interceptions! Utah high school football team stuns state power in semifinals
Entering Thursday night's semifinal matchup against Corner Canyon (UT), only one team had been able to stay within a possession of Mountain Ridge (UT), the state's top team . Thursday afternoon, Corner Canyon did something many likely could have never experienced, and they did it in a way that no one could have guessed. The Chargers intercepted not one, not two, not three and not even four interceptions but seven Mountain Ridge passes en route to a 34-28 Class 6A semifinal upset win. Mountain Ridge was ranked as the No. 11 team in the Super 15 West rankings entering the week. Entering the game, Mountain Ridge's senior quarterback had just seven interceptions on the year compared to 51 touchdown passes. It was a historic day for the Chargers defense as its been nearly 30 years since a defense in the state last intercepted seven passes in a game. FINAL: #59 Corner Canyon (UT) defeats #49 Mountain Ridge (UT), 34–28. #59 Corner Canyon will being going for their FOURTH straight championship next week when they play #58 Skyridge in a rematch of a game earlier this year that Skyridge won 37-27. pic.twitter.com/3Vq2ce1av7 — T25PS | National Public School Football (@Top25PublicHSFB) November
