Football

2-A South

FILLMORE, Utah-The Kanab Cowboys ran for 254 yards on the evening and improved to 4-0 on the season and 1-0 in 2-A South play with a 27-0 rout of the Millard Eagles Friday in the region opener for both squads.

Led by proficient signal-caller Derek Houston (4-8, 95 yards, TD) and strong performances from fullbacks Michael Warino (16 car, 69 yards, TD) and Travis Stewart (7 car, 40 yards, TD), the Cowboys dominated in the trenches.

As pointed out by Mid-Utah Radio Sports Network color analyst Bucky Orton, the Cowboys domintated the most important statistic of this game: time of possession.

In building an early lead, Kanab was able to methodically salt the game away and played complementary football throughout.

The Cowboys limited a proficient Eagles offense to 167 yards of offense. Meanwhile, Kanab tailbacks Karson Blomquist (13 touches, 82 scrimmage yards, rush TD) and Bracken McQuivey (11 touches, 93 scrimmage yards, rush TD) were also versatile in both the running and passing schemes for the Cowboys.

Meanwhile, with a 29-yard scoring reception, Kanab tight end Kason Janes has proven himself highly proficient on the season.
