Pine View Advances To 4A Title Game With Big Win Over Snow Canyon

ST. GEORGE, Utah – The Pine View Panthers will play for the 4A State Championship after beating the Snow Canyon Warriors, 48-7 in the semifinals.

Pine View picked up the win after scoring 48 unanswered points.

Snow Canyon’s only touchdown came in the first quarter when Landon Frei connected with Braxton Hickman for a 27-yard score. It was all Pine View from that point.

Early in the second quarter, Brayden Bunnell found Dominique Mckenzie for a 29-yard TD to tie the game. Just five minutes later, Ryan Jordan ran in a score from 18-yards out to take the lead.

Two minutes after that, Enoch Takau found the end zone with an 11-yard TD. That gave the Panthers a 21-7 lead at the half with all of their points in the opening half coming in the second quarter.
