Non-Region
DELTA, Utah-Taylor Davies hauled in 2 receptions for 109 yards including a game-changing 83-yard touchdown reception as the No. 2 in Class 2-A Millard Eagles routed Delta 32-14 in non-region football action Friday.
The Rabbits raced out to a 14-0 lead after the 1st Quarter as signal-caller Austin Topham found Oran Finlinson for a 4-yard scoring reception and tailback Britton Smith deceptively broke loose for a 65-yard touchdown run.
I am a mortal Bradfather because that Delta trap fooled me as well as the Millard defense. Britton Smith shows that Rabbits are swift and races 65 yards, virtually untouched for the score. The Rabbits now lead 14-0 with 3:18 left in the 1st Quarter. Delta is feeling good.

However, Davies’ touchdown reception just before the half gave the Eagles momentum they would not relinquish.
Topham was intercepted by DeGraffenried and, several plays later, Taylor Davies then outraces the Delta defense for an 83-yard score. Millard only trails 14-7 with 39 seconds left in the 2nd Quarter. That is a huge momentum swing in this game.

The aforementioned Jed DeGraffenried (21 car, 145 yards, 2 TD’s) then added a pair of scoring runs, with KC Whitaker adding a four-yard touchdown run for Millard.
After Braxton Bond was interecepted twice, Millard head coach Ethan Stephenson called upon James Stephenson (6-12, 133 yards, 2 TD’s) who threw the scoring strike to Davies and another one that was adroitly caught by Mekhi Davis.
Mekhi Davis adroitly tips the ball to himself for a three-yard scoring grab. He was called for excessive celebration and Hunter Rhodes misses the PAT. The penalty to be enforced on the kickoff. 26-14 Millard. 5:14 left.
