Oct. 31 - Sky View 48, East 16
Story of the game - QB Kyler Carlsen passed for 350 yards and five
touchdowns, including a 64-yard TD throw on the Bobcats' first play,
as Sky View routed East and advanced in the 4-A playoffs.
East's best moment - Down 48-0, East finally scored in the fourth
quarter on a 5-yard run by Sunia Tautioli and a 25-yard pass from
backup QB John Webb to Tanner Curtis.
Sky View's best moment - The Bobcats were in control the entire
game. The defense forced four turnovers and had three QB sacks. It
was a great win on East's home field and helped erase memories
of past playoff losses to the Leopards.
What was learned from the game - The Leopards never showed
up to play. It was - by far - their worst game. However, Sky View
could be a sleeping giant. We'll find out next week.
Next - East is done for the season. Sky View advances to play at
Timpview.

Oct. 23 - East 34, West 7
Story of the game - East QB Danny Tuai passed for three
touchdowns, and Sunia Tautioli rushed for 108 yards as East rolled
past West with a big second half. Since it beat Highland earlier this
season, East won the mythical "Salt Lake City championship."
East's best moment - After a fumble led to West's touchdown, the
Leopards' defense dominated. The game was tied at 7-7 at
halftime, but East erupted for 20 fourth-quarter points to secure the
win on West's home field.
West's' best moment - Early in the game, Tipa Valsigano forced a
fumble at the 2-yard line. Two plays later, QB Daniel Wray scored on
a sneak to give the Panthers the lead. West's defense had a big
game, forcing four sacks.
What was learned from the game - East has the No. 2 seed from
Region 6 and will play a first-round home game. The Leopards'
mainstay this season has been their defense, which held another
opponent to just one score.
Next - East starts the 4-A playoffs against Region 5's third-place
team. West travels to Timpview in another first-round game.

Story of the game - RB Isi Sofele rushed for 166 yards on 33 carries and Jason Bilanzich recovered two fumbles and intercepted a pass as
Cottonwood built a big lead and handily beat East in a Region 6 game.
East's best moment - Trailing 36-0, East rallied behind QB Danny Tuai, who threw touchdown passes to Andrew Williams and Taylor
Swensen, and also ran for two others.
Cottonwood's best moment - Cottonwood led 7-0 when Bilanzich recovered a fumble and pitched it to teammate Jason Lundquist, who ran
for a score. On East's next play, the Leopards fumbled again and Bilanzich recovered. He pitched it (again) to a teammate, but he was tackled.
What we learned from this game - Cottonwood will be the Region 6 champion. East now will likely have to beat rival West in order to earn the

Region 6 game.
East's best moment - Tuai hit Webb, Williams and Swenson for scores, and Tautioli ran 63 yards for a TD to help East turn this game into a
rout. The Leopards' defense did a nice job after the opening few minutes.

region. Oly gave East a scare immediately by scoring a touchdown and hitting a field goal in the first quarter.

they can't do that.

30 yards for a touchdown.
Granger's best moment - Manu Samani ran for 81 yards on 17 carries. He also scored the Lancers' only touchdown in the fourth quarter. The

up in region play, holding the last three opponents to seven points each.

East, holding the Leopards to minus-33 yards in the opening 12 minutes.

East's best moment - East trailed 10-7, but used a number of runs by Sunia Tautioli. On fourth down, however, QB Danny Taui hit Price on a
48-yard pass that led to the go-ahead TD. The Cavemen tried to rally, but Price picked off the pass and returned it for the score.
American Fork's best moment - The Cavemen defense was the story until the game's final moments. The had nullified East's passing
offense until that one pass. It was AF's best defensive showing of the season.
What was learned from the game? Another close game for East, and again the Leopards get late-game heroics to claim the win. Of all
Region 6 teams, East's non-region schedule has given it the most experience.
Next - East takes on Highland in its first Region 6 game. American Fork travels to play at Skyline.

close win over East in a non-region game.
East's best moment - Trailing 19-9, East got back into the game when it recovered a Skyline fumble. East QB Danny Tuai then hit Taylor
Swenson on a 16-yard scoring pass to make it a game again.
Skyline's best moment - The Eagles' coaching staff was worried about a letdown following last week's win over Bingham. With the scored
tied 6-6, Skyline's Caleb Latteier stopped an East drive, then Latteier caught a 30-yard pass that resulted in the go-ahead touchdown.

Aug. 22 - East 29, Snow Canyon 26
Story of the game - Call it a tale of two contests. Snow Canyon dominated the first half, and East won the second. East players say they are a
second-half team, but what that means is there are some coaches or players who were collaborating and figuring out how to win.
East's best moment - The entire second half. The Leopards rallied from a 20-7 halftime deficit that became 26-7 after Snow Canyon's initial
second-half possession. East could have easily been demoralized at intermission. The offense came alive on Ryan Shipp's electrifying TD
run, but it was the defense that kept Snow Canyon from winning on East's home field.
Snow Canyon's best moment - Adam Timo is the real deal. The BYU recruit put on a great show in the first half, including a 60-yard TD run
right before halftime. Timo finished with 198 yards on 27 carries.
What was learned from the game? East believes. Why wouldn't they after what they accomplished? The Leopards consider themselves to be
a second-half team and that means they are never out of a game, no matter how far they might be behind.
Next - It doesn't get easier for East, which has to play at Skyline. Snow Canyon has to take another long bus ride to Orem.

Aug. 22 - East 29, Snow Canyon 26
Story of the game - Call it a tale of two contests. Snow Canyon dominated the first half, and East won the second. East players say they are a
second-half team, but what that means is there are some coaches or players who were collaborating and figuring out how to win.
East's best moment - The entire second half. The Leopards rallied from a 20-7 halftime deficit that became 26-7 after Snow Canyon's initial
second-half possession. East could have easily been demoralized at intermission. The offense came alive on Ryan Shipp's electrifying TD
run, but it was the defense that kept Snow Canyon from winning on East's home field.
Snow Canyon's best moment - Adam Timo is the real deal. The BYU recruit put on a great show in the first half, including a 60-yard TD run
right before halftime. Timo finished with 198 yards on 27 carries.
What was learned from the game? East believes. Why wouldn't they after what they accomplished? The Leopards consider themselves to be
a second-half team and that means they are never out of a game, no matter how far they might be behind.
Next - It doesn't get easier for East, which has to play at Skyline. Snow Canyon has to take another long bus ride to Orem.
