SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – The American Fork Cavemen dominated the Weber Warriors 45-14 on the KSL Game Night Live Game of the Week.
American Fork quarterback Maddux Madsen accounted for all six touchdowns for the Cavemen with five passing and one rushing TD.
In less than two minutes into the game, Maddux Madsen took the Cavemen down the field and the drive ended in a touchdown to give them a 7-0 lead. Weber punted on their first possession but the American Fork punt returner lost control of the ball and the Warriors recovered in the red zone.
Two plays later, the Warriors tight end fumbled the ball and the Cavemen recovered. Their drive ended with a touchdown pass from Madsen to Noah Moeaki. American Fork had a 14-0 lead with 4:48 left in the first quarter.
Weber had a kickoff return for a touchdown but it was called off due to a holding penalty. Things started looking ugly for Weber as American Fork got a deep touchdown pass to Trey Roberts to give the Cavemen a 21-0 lead with four seconds left in the opening quarter.
