High school football: Morgan hangs on to secure impressive win over Idaho power
For one half Saturday afternoon, the Morgan Trojans played like the top team in Utah’s 3A ranks. The other half? They had their fans sitting on the edge of their seats inside Pocatello’s Idaho Central Credit Union Dome, and they didn’t feel comfortable until Lincoln Gilson intercepted a pass with less than two minutes remaining to secure a 24-20 win over the Skyline (Idaho) Grizzlies. “The kids have learned to trust to each other,” said Morgan coach Jared Barlow, whose team improved to 3-0. “We’ve been preaching that to them the whole time and they look to each other to see who can make the big plays.” Gilson, in fact, made most of them. A senior wide receiver on offense, he had 10 catches for 203 yards and two touchdowns. That fact, however, was overshadowed when he stepped in front of a Skyline receiver just after the Grizzlies had scored to get within one touchdown, recovered an onside kick and then lofted a long pass to about the 20-yard line that appeared open.
