NEPHI, Utah-The Juab Wasps ran for 207 yards and controlled the clock for nearly 25 minutes as they bested the San Juan Broncos 20-7 Friday in the 3-A state football quarterfinals at Juab High School.

The Wasps’ depth at tailback served them well as Trey Lund (17 touches, 96 scrimmage yards), Shan Jackson 13 car, 69 yards) and Bodee Blackett (14 touches, 49 scrimmge yards, rush TD) led Juab to their strong rushing performance which proved to be the difference in the game.

Nevertheless, Alex Jackson (10-20, 112 yards, TD, 2 INT’s) made perhaps the biggest play of the night for the Wasps in the passing game.

Alex Jackson to Teagan Christensen on the 45-yard scoring strike and #funfact, Teagan's mom took my order at lunch this afternoon in Nephi. Richards' PAT is good. 20-7 @Juab_Football with 26 seconds left in the 3rd Quarter. This is the play of the game thus far.
