Faith Lutheran (1-0) edged Desert Hills (0-1) in a closely contested nonregion matchup, winning 25-23. The Crusaders secured the victory with a late 34-yard field goal in the final quarter. Desert Hills’ Tytan Mason scored two early touchdowns with short runs, but Faith Lutheran managed to keep pace with their own scoring drives. A 31-yard pass from Gerritt Grondel to Cyrus Polu brought the Thunder within striking distance late in the game, but it wasn't enough to overcome the Crusaders' balanced offensive attack and critical defensive stops.
