Devin Brown, Corner Canyon Take Charge In First Half
In just two minutes, Corner Canyon stormed down the field and ended the drive with a touchdown run by Drew Patterson. The Chargers took a 7-0 lead with 9:53 remaining in the first quarter.
Weber set themselves up nicely as Aidan Carter found Jett Hill for a big gain through the air that put the Warriors in Corner Canyon territory. The Chargers’ defense held serve defensively and forced Weber to kick a field goal. The attempt was missed.
Corner Canyon got into the red zone but faced a fourth down and long. Brown decided to keep it but came up inches short of the first down and the Warriors took over at their own six-yard line.
The Chargers took a commanding lead late in the first quarter when Brown found Cody Hagen in two consecutive drives for touchdowns. Corner Canyon had a 21-0 lead at the end of the opening quarter.
Early in the second quarter, Weber responded with a touchdown by Amari Swain but missed the PAT to trim the deficit to 21-6. Once again, Corner Canyon answered with a third touchdown connection between Brown and Hagen. They also missed the extra point but held a 27-6 lead with 6:57 remaining in the first half.
The Warriors were forced to punt on the ensuing drive and Corner Canyon scored a touchdown as Tre Kofe found pay dirt. Corner Canyon’s lead was extended to 34-6 with 2:14 left until halftime. The game was getting out of hand when Brown connected with Blaze DeGracie for a TD that gave them a 41-6 lead with 42 seconds left in the half.
