Orem (8-2) advanced to the 5A quarterfinals with a 35-27 victory over West (6-5) in a high-scoring second-round playoff matchup. The Tigers broke a 21-21 tie with a pair of fourth-quarter touchdowns, highlighted by Feleti Iongi's 44-yard touchdown reception from Tayden Ka'awa with 8:31 remaining. Ka'awa was instrumental, throwing for multiple touchdowns including a final 10-yard pass to Ryker Mikkelsen to seal the win. West's Izaiah Holley, back from injury, put on an impressive performance with a rushing touchdown and a touchdown pass. The high-powered offenses were on full display with both teams trading scores, but Orem's defense held strong in the closing minutes to secure the victory. The Tigers move on to face the winner between Springville and Timpview in the quarterfinals.
