Roundup

For the second year in a row, Crimson Cliffs will play for a 4A state championship as the No. 2 Mustangs survived a tough test against No. 6 Ridgeline to win, 31-24. Ridgeline surprised the heavily-favored Mustangs by getting a first-half lead, 17-14, before a few quick scoring possessions put Crimson Cliffs ahead for good just before halftime. The Mustangs racked up 403 yards of total offense, led in large part by a monster first half from junior running back McCord Christiansen who rushed for 113 of his 161 total rushing yards in the first half, along with two touchdowns. Senior quarterback Steele Barben led the mustangs under center, completing 27 of 35 passes for 238 yards, two TDs and an interception. Ridgeline sophomore QB Nate Dahle completed 23 of 39 passes for 178 yards, two TDs and two INTs. The Mustangs will return to Rice-Eccles Stadium on Friday, Nov. 17 to take on No. 8 Green Canyon for the 4A championship.
