SALT LAKE CITY – The Skyridge Falcons got a good scare from the Riverton Silverwolves in the second round of the 6a playoffs but still came out on top, 21-17.
Riverton was a considerable underdog but had the game tied 7-7 after the first quarter and even led 17-14 at the half.
However, the only score in the second half was a third-quarter Skyridge passing touchdown. The defense buckled down in the fourth to secure the win.
Skyridge will advance to the quarterfinals to face No. 7 Davis on Friday, November 8.
The final course in our 2024 Football Bracketology is for 6A!
