SALT LAKE CITY – The John Watson Northern Utah High School Player of the Week is celebrating the best high school football player in Northern Utah.

Northern Utah Players of the Week – Tradon Bessinger, Davis

Bessinger and the Davis Darts welcomed Lone Peak High School in for a highly-anticipated 6A Quarterfinal showdown. The game started slowly with both defenses showing well early with the teams each making an early field goal before the fireworks really took off. Bessinger and the Darts added two second-quarter touchdowns countered by a TD for Lone Peak that saw the Darts take a 17-10 halftime lead into the locker room

The third quarter the inverse of the second quarter as Lone Peak evened the game 24-all. Davis took a lead midway through the fourth quarter and looked poised to advance before Lone Peak scored with 30 seconds remaining to force overtime. Both teams scored on their opening series of overtime before Lone Peak won the game 41-38 as Bessinger and the Darts were unable to score in the second overtime period. Bessinger, who recently committed to the Iowa Hawkeyes, finished the game with 327 passing yards and three touchdowns.
