And the Woods Cross Wildcats got such a win Friday night with a 17-14 win over the Roy Royals in a Region 5 showdown.
“This is a huge road win against a great team that is well-coached,” Woods Cross coach Andrew Fresques said. “These athletes and these coaches and the time they put in, this is on them.”
The Wildcats’ defense bent all night but never broke until the fourth quarter when the Royals (2-3) struck for a pair of touchdowns to cut its deficit to three. Roy’s attempt at an onside kick failed, allowing Woods Cross (4-1) to run out the clock.
