Utahhigh school football lovers, picture this: A kid in Lehi, helmet strapped tight, staring across the line at a Corner Canyon defender last fall. Overtime. State playoffs. Pioneers down by one after a touchdown. Extra point sails wide. Season over. 35-34. Chargers celebrate. Pioneers heartbroken.

Fast forward to now.

That sting? It's fuel.

Lehi's not just playing a game on October 15. They're settling a score. And oh man, are they ready.

The Big One: No. 1 Corner Canyon (7-1) at No. 4 Lehi (6-3) – 7 p.m. Kickoff

Lehi's been building this moment. Outscoring American Fork and Lone Peak 60-9 combined? That's not luck. That's a team peaking at the perfect time.

Three losses on the year, sure. But by a total of seven points. Two on the road.

Corner Canyon? One loss. A 21-point thumping at Lone Peak—the same Knights Lehi just crushed 34-6 on their senior night turf.

Records? Throw 'em out. This is personal.

After that playoff overtime dagger last year, missed extra point and all, Lehi's holding nothing back.

Watch Legend Glasker. Potentially the fastest wide receiver these Chargers have seen. He ran a 4.42 in the 40 this summer—just a tick behind Xavier Worthy's high school blaze of 4.41 at the same camp.

Corner's secondary? They gave up four passing touchdowns to Lone Peak's Pula twins. Glasker could torch 'em.

Defense decides destinies. Lehi's shut down everyone but Skyridge. Corner needs to crank their offense past last week's American Fork grind and bottle Lehi's explosions.

Could go volcanic—Lehi repeating their Lone Peak rout, or Corner stealing a fourth-quarter escape.

My sense: 31-28 in overtime.

Home fire wins or road warriors emerge? You pick 'em.

Road Warrior: No. 3 Skyridge (6-2) at No. 5 American Fork (6-3) – 7 p.m. Start

Meanwhile, in American Fork, Falcons quarterback Kaneal Sweetwyne is slinging and running like a kid with dreams bigger than the Wasatch. 2,700-plus yards and two overtime heroics. Pure poetry.

The Cavemen are still smarting from Corner's 37-21 beatdown last week. Hungry.

A Skyridge win here, mixed with Lehi toppling Corner? Falcons snatch Region 3 via head-to-head over the Pioneers. They slip? Lehi bolts free.
Prediction: Skyridge by a score.

But that Cavemen crowd? That front seven? Could brew something wild.

Home Hammer: No. 2 Davis (8-1) vs. Weber – 7 p.m. Tip

Up north, Davis is that steady hand. Lost to Fremont in Week 2. Then? Seven straight wins.

Quarterback Tradon Bessinger is a National QB of the Year candidate—No. 2 in the country for passing yards (3,290) and total yards (3,446). Tops in Utah for passing.

Weber's got fight. But Davis at home? Like a fortress in a storm.
Expect: 49-14 cruise.

Darts lock Region 1 tight.

Bye Week Focus: No. 7 Lone Peak (5-4)

Lone Peak is sitting this one out. Bye week. Like a boxer taping fists for the title fight.

That early upset of Corner Canyon? Proof of punch. After Lehi's 34-6 senior night slap? Time to heal. Eye the playoffs. Reload.

Senior Night Air Show: No. 6 Mountain Ridge (7-2) vs. Westlake – 7 p.m. on Oct 17

Mountain Ridge's turn. Senior night. Air raid incoming.

328 yards per game through the skies? Elite. Ground game's solid at 110 yards per game. Westlake probes. But that home energy? Electric.

Outlook: Sentinels by 17+.

Seniors shine.

Road Raid: No. 8 Orem (7-2) at Maple Mountain – 7 p.m. on Oct 15

Orem on the prowl. Balanced attack like a well-tuned engine. Maple Mountain pushes back. But Tigers' story? Rising.

Vision: 38-7 roll.
Smooth.

Perfect Push: No. 9 Ridgeline (9-0) vs. Bear River – 7 p.m. on Oct 16

Ridgeline? Undefeated guardians. Defense allowing under 10 points a pop. Bear River? Overwhelmed. 10-0 beckons.

Smash: A whole lot—to a little.

Flawless.
Easy Hunt: No. 10 West (8-1) at Cyprus – 7 p.m. on Oct 16

West prowls Cyprus. Lock down defense gleaming. Cyprus resists. But Panthers eye 9-1.

Glide: 35-10.

Effortless.

Bottom line: Remember that kid in Lehi last year? Missed kick. Season gone.

Now? It's Utah's regular season finale—tales of redemption, region chaos, and teams like Lehi turning pain into power, or teams like Corner Canyon staying on top.

Who writes the next chapter? We'll see soon.

Football's funny that way. It always comes back around.
