HOLLADAY — It was the final regular season game of the season; and for some players, it was also the final regular season of their high school careers.
Bountiful’s Manu Tia made sure his final regular season game as a Redhawk would be a memorable one against the Olympus Titans.
Tia played with an intensity that many know him for, but Olympus felt that wrath to its fullest. He penetrated Olympus’ offensive line on nearly every play and had career highs in solo tackles (5), total tackles (12) and sacks (1.5) in a game.
It was impressive numbers for any defensive lineman, but to have those stats all in one game speaks to Tia’s dominance.
