High school football: Defense comes up big for Skyridge in defeat of Lehi
It wasn’t always easy or pretty, but Skyridge found a way to defeat one of the top teams in the state in Lehi Thursday night, coming away victorious 20-16 in a strong defensive battle to hand the Pioneers their first loss of the season. “I gotta spotlight the whole defense. The guys were flying around, and nothing came easy for us. We had a couple of critical goal line stops and found ourselves in some key fourth down situations and the guys were able to come up huge in the big moments,” said Skyridge head coach Justin Hemm. Skyridge scored on its very first possession of the game on a 1-yard run from Zaeden Helu. It took a while but Lehi finally got on the scoreboard at the beginning of the second quarter on a 40-yard field goal by Gavin Fenn. Lehi then briefly took a 10-7 lead with 1:13 left in the first half on a 3-yard touchdown run from quarterback Jett Niu, but Skyridge tied it up with a 38-yard field goal from Blake Hester with two seconds left before the break.
