The Skyridge Falcons (2-0) will defend their home turf in Lehi as they host the struggling East Leopards (0-2) on Friday, August 29. Skyridge has been dominant to start the year, averaging nearly 50 points per game behind QB Kaneal Sweetwyne, while East has yet to score in its first two outings. With a top-3 state ranking, the Falcons enter as heavy favorites, but East will look to bounce back and prove it can compete against Utah’s elite.

East Leopards
It has been a rough start for the Leopards, dropping their first two games by a combined score of 90-0. Offensively, East has yet to find rhythm, and the defense has been on the field far too long. To compete with Skyridge, they’ll need to control possession, protect the football, and slow down the Falcons’ passing attack.

Skyridge Falcons
Ranked #111 nationally and #3 in Utah, Skyridge has quickly proven itself as a state title contender. QB Kaneal Sweetwyne has been sensational, averaging 334 passing yards and 390 total yards per game, with WR Talmage Oswald emerging as his top target. The Falcons are averaging nearly 50 points per game while holding opponents to just 22 per contest. If their defense led by Griffin Kunz continues to pressure opposing QBs, they’ll be difficult to stop.
