In week 7 of prep football it was BYU linebacker commits that stole the show. Corner Canyon linebacker Owen Borg had a career night with eight tackles, two tackles for loss, two passes defended and two interceptions to help CC defeat no. 2 ranked Skyridge.
Meanwhile, it was just another day for class of 2024 commit Easton Baker and the Stansbury defense, who hasn’t allowed double digit points in their last four games. Baker had what has become a typical night for him—recording 11 tackles, one pass breakup, a sack, and a forced fumble.
Three other commits—classified as “athletes”, but sometimes lining up on defense at linebacker—also had big nights. Skyline star Miles Hall had one 61-yard touchdown reception, a zero-yard carry, eight tackles (two solo), and a tackle for loss. Recent California commit Chance Harrison had 11 tackles (seven solo), and Washington athlete Leo Pulalasi is on pace for a record-breaking season on offense and on defense. He didn’t play linebacker this week, but did have three carries for 55 yards and a touchdown and two receptions for 66 yards and a touchdown.
And there were big games from running back Landen Chambers, quarterback Ryder Burton, athlete Saimone Davis, defensive tackle Dallin Johnson, and punter Will Walker (detailed summaries below).
