Skyridge Falcons Dominate Beleaguered Lone Peak Knights

LEHI, Utah – Turnovers and Jackson Stevens were about all the Skyridge Falcons needed to beat Lone Peak 41-15 in a Region 3 showdown.

Lone Peak (3-5) went on the road to face undefeated Skyridge (8-0) on Friday, September 29.

First Quarter

Skyridge struck first when senior RB/WR Carter Sheffield took a screen pass from senior QB Jackson Stevens and barreled around the left side for a 13-yard touchdown. Lone Peak blocked the extra point, leaving the Falcons in front 6-0.

After a personal foul penalty that moved Lone Peak into Falcon territory, Luke Christensen threw into coverage for the game’s second turnover.

On third-and-long, Stevens launched a great pass to Jack Burke down the left hash. Burke then finished the drive by catching a touchdown pass. Skyridge was threatening a blowout early in the second quarter, up 20-0.
