GAME PREVIEW CAPSULE

Snow Canyon (0-0) at San Juan (0-0)

WARRIORS
Classification: 3A, Region 9
Coach: Jay Graft (32-35 overall)
Offense: Spread and I-backs
Players to watch: RBs Mitch Phillips and Taylor Johansen and whoever emerges at quarterback, Mason Smith or Jake Frei
PPG (last year): 21.8
PAPG (last year): 26.9

BRONCOS
Classification: 2A, South Region
Coach: Monty Lee
Offense: Spread
Players to watch: QB Barkley Christensen loves to throw to Bobby Bowring. About one-third of the Broncos offense included the tandem
PPG (last year): 34.3
PAPG (last year): 5.7

GAME OUTLOOK
Expect the Broncos to hang with the Warriors for most of the game. But in the end, the Snow Canyon talent and speed will win out against a tough San Juan squad. SC’s running backs should have a lot of room to run inside.
