Woods Cross • Scheduling a non-region game at the end of the season can be risky if a team becomes complacent. Momentum could be lost before the playoffs begin.

“We weren’t going to come out here and just lay down because we were already in the playoffs,” Northridge senior running back Hunter Harris said. “We wanted to come out with full force and win the game. We wanted to prove a point.”

The first half wasn’t kind to the Knights. But Northridge emerged from the break with purpose in the second half. Harris and senior quarterback Jackson Murphy stole the show and erased a 10-7 deficit before the defense sealed the victory via a Jacob Rhoades touchdown on a fumble recovery.
