ST. GEORGE, Utah-Kaleb Barney ran for 110 yards on 6 carries, including a 95-yard score in the 3rd Quarter to put the game out of reach as the Beaver Beavers routed Milford 45-6 Saturday at Trailblazers Stadium on the campus of Dixie State University to earn the 2-A state football championship.
The Beavers, who ran for 343 yards in the game and posted 424 yards of offense on 59 plays (7.2 plays per snap), netted their 12th all-time state championship.
This ties them for the fifth-most in Utah state high school history with Jordan. Only West (21), East (18), Skyline (14) and Millard (13) have more state titles all-time.
Beaver signal-caller Ryker Albrecht (21 car, 122 yards, 3 TD’s) also led the Beavers in the rout. Crayton Hollingshead added a 67-yard touchdown pass to EJ Allred on a bootleg for Beaver in the win while Allred amassed 147 scrimmage yards on 18 touches.
In defeat, legendary signal-caller Bryson Barnes threw a 50-yard touchdown pass to Bret Beebe. Incidentally, this was the first score of the game only to see the Beavers score 45 unanswered points to win going away.
The stingy Beaver defense limited Milford to 210 yards of offense on 57 plays, or 3.7 yards per snap.
This concludes a 13-0 season for Beaver, their first undefeated season since 1973, per head coach Jon Marshall.
