Granger (6-5) snapped a lengthy postseason drought with a 26-23 win over Box Elder (4-7) in the first round of the 5A state tournament. The Lancers, who hadn't won a playoff game since 1997, secured the victory with key plays from their dynamic ground game, including a 6-yard touchdown run from Sunia Fifita in the fourth quarter. Box Elder led early after Carter Buchanan's 25-yard interception return and a 56-yard touchdown run, but Granger rallied with the help of a fumble recovery touchdown by Ezekiel Kasitaki in the third quarter. Granger's defense, led by Mason Kasitati, made crucial stops, allowing the Lancers to preserve their lead. The win sets up a challenging second-round matchup against No. 1 seed Roy.
