SMITHFIELD — After back-to-back heartbreaking losses by a total of 6 points, Sky View’s football team needed a win.

The Bobcats’ defense made sure to get one Friday night.

Tucker Stokes threw for 186 yards and a touchdown, and Rad Sparrow ran for 60 yards on 14 carries to help push the Bobcats past Mountain Crest, 20-14 Friday night to highlight Week 5 of the 2026 Utah high school football season.
