Lehi • Qi’Sean Rust watched the snap sail past the punter and hit the turf. He already was darting straight toward it.

Rust recovered the bad snap for a touchdown, the Pioneers’ second of the game, en route to a 35-7 win over Woods Cross in their Class 5A state quarterfinal Friday afternoon. Lehi advances to face Springville in Thursday’s state semifinal at Rice-Eccles Stadium.

Rust continued to be that momentum builder on special teams, also blocking a punt two minutes into the second half to give the Pioneers the ball at the Wildcats’ 10-yard line.
