SALT LAKE CITY – The Mr. Mac Utah County High School Player of the Week is awarded each week to the top prep football players in Utah County. It honors athletes for their performances on the gridiron and exceptional play. Our winner this week was Orem High School’s Aisa Galea’i

Utah County Player of the Week – Aisa Galea’i, Orem

Galea’i and the Orem Tigers faced Region 7 rival Springville High School in th 5A State Championship Game at Rice-Eccles Stadium. Galea’i kicked off the scoring with a 60-yard touchdown run early in the first quarter as the Tigers jumped all over the Red Devils, building a 14-0 first quarter lead. Galea’i extended that lead midway through the second quarter when he returned an interception 78 yards for a touchdown and Orem carried the 21-0 lead into halftime.

Any hopes Springville had of emerging from the break and rallying were quickly extinguished when Galea’i opened the second half with a 96-yard kick return for a touchdown. Orem would tack on two more touchdowns in the second half, sandwiching Springville’s lone touchdown on the night as the Tigers celebrated another state title at RES with a 42-7 victory. Galeai’s statline consisted of 68 rushing yards and one touchdown, his 96-yard kick return for a touchdown and three tackles and a pick-six on defense.
