FILLMORE, Utah-Gage Griffiths ran for a career-high 151 yards and a score on 23 carries as the Milford Tigers got past Millard 37-29 in 2-A South football action.

This resulted in a one-yard touchdown run by Bryson Barnes to give the Tigers a 35-21 lead in the 3rd Quarter.
Barnes (11-20, 219 yards, 2 TD’s; 27 car, 7o yards, 2 TD’s) was spectacular on the evening, with Bret Beebe (6 rec, 168 yards, 2 TD’s) serving as his primary target on the night.
Despite the Tigers out-gaining Millard, 440-186, the Eagles resolutely hung around all night, primarily capitalizing on short fields for their scoring drives.
