Ogden • Morgan took control by dominating the run game, thanks to Briger Miller, and pulled away late from Juab for a 34-18 victory in their Class 3A state semifinal game Friday at Weber State.
The Trojans got out to a fast start in the first half by controlling the tempo while keeping the ball on the ground. They scored 20 points in a span of three minutes. Two short rushing touchdowns by Miller as well as a 27-yard interception return by Ethan Wheeler got Morgan out to a commanding 20-0 lead.
Juab kept its composure and stayed close, thanks to a 3-yard rushing touchdown by Joey Aggard and a 15-yard touchdown reception by Alex White from quarterback Easton Wright to make it an eight-point game heading into the break.
