3-A Football State Title Game
ST. GEORGE, Utah-Bode Blackett (8 car, 119 yards, TD) had a dynamic 83-yard touchdown run in the 3rd Quarter to change momentum as Juab won their first football state title in school history, prevailing 17-14 over Morgan Saturday in the 3-A State footcall championship game at Greater Zion Stadium on the campus of Dixie State University.
The Wasps also received a strong performance from Blackett’s fellow tailback, Trey Lund (24 touches, 129 scrimmage yards, rush TD) as Juab repelled Morgan defensively on a pair of 4th down attempts in the 4th Quarter to secure the victory.
Juab raced out to a 10-0 lead on Lund’s 1-yard touchdown run and a 37-yard field goal from Ryker Richards.
However, Morgan resolutely hung around, taking a 14-10 lead at the half with scoring runs from Ryder Lish (16 yards) and William Lance (2 yards).
Nevertheless, Blackett’s touchdown run changed momentum for the Wasps and Juab dug down defensively to make school history on numerous occasions as the game progressed.
