Kanab Cowboys
Kanab enters 2-0, ranked #2 in Class 1A, #60 in Utah, and #2,430 nationally. They’ve been dominant on the ground, rushing for 266 yards per game while averaging 360.5 total yards per game. Their defense has been stout too, allowing just 20 points in two contests.
RB/WR Hayden Gubler (106 rushing ypg, 42.5 receiving ypg, 148.5 total ypg) is the centerpiece, dangerous both as a rusher and pass-catcher. QB Brogun Virostko (94.5 passing ypg) manages the offense efficiently, while LB Kolton Blomquist (9 tackles per game) and DL Latimer Glover (1 sack per game) keep the defense physical.
